During our visit the
hotel was being
renovated to
include a two-level
partially covered
rooftop terrace, as
pictured above.
This is intended
to be offered to
customers for
weddings and
private events
and functions.
A fun and relaxed environment, where
waiters deliver drinks to the tables by
balancing them on their heads, some-
times 3 high, Carboncitos is located on
Calle 4 between 5th Ave and 10th Ave,
and is part of Hotel Cielo. A large menu
offering seafood, meats, Mayan and Mex-
ican cuisine will tantalize your taste buds.
Pictured here to the right is a Mayan dish
‘Tikin Xic’, fresh fish marinated in sour
orange juice, achiote paste, aromatic
herbs, white wine and olive oil.

Arguably the best restaurant of its
kind in Playa Del Carmen, NAU
Cocina Mediterranea on 15th Av-
enue at 8th Street serves the most
inventive and tasteful seafood we
have ever tried. But it is not just
seafood they serve. Also try an
assortment of vegetarian and meat
dishes if seafood is not your thing.
Emerse your spirit into a Gin
mixology experiment, as NAU is a
specialist in beautiful beverages.
With an incredible gourmet flair
and impeccable service this open-
air eatery has a surprising level of
value to its customers. The restau-
rants location two blocks off of the
main tourist area of 5th Avenue
means an establishment needs to
try extra hard to succeed…and
they do.

Mama Mia! At the south end of Playa
Del Carmen and away from the touris-
tic 5th Avenue there is a restaurant,
Casa Sofia on Av. Aviacion, which im-
presses even the Italian travellers who
choose to dine here night after night!
The food is simply fantastic with prices
that rival what one would expect to pay
at a Mercado.
Black and White Ravioli de Langosta
Tricolour Gnocchetti
Following their dream and passion to
share Grandma’s recipes from 1952 in
Playa Del Carmen, entrepreneurs Matteo and Luca open Casa
Sofia in 2013 as an artisanal pasta factory, restaurant and pizze-
ria. Make sure to come here hungry, as the food is so delicious
you will want to sample every item on the menu. Even the
tiramisu is some of the best we have every had!
