Now, isn't that cool -- a restaurant in a cave. We discovered this restaurant by reading about it on trip advisor,and we were very impressed. The drinks are expensive -- we ordered 4 Mojitos which cost 690 pesos (ugh) and then you add a tip on top of that. I had a peek at the dinner menu, and I found... more

This place was incredible, a bar and restaurant inside a cenote (underground cave). We only had drinks because I saw other reviews about the food not being great. The margaritas were sweet but good--drinks are definitely expensive but worth it for the atmosphere. There is a tour guide who will show you around and works only on tips. I would... more

I’m really surprised this place wasn’t packed. Perhaps the expensive drinks keep people away. But honestly, it is worth the trip and the drink prices to at least hang out at the bar and take a tour of the caves with a tour guide. more

My mother and I had dinner and drinks at El Alux, I couldn't miss it after seeing the photos on TripAdvisor. The second we got to the entrance I knew this would be like nothing I had ever experienced before. I felt like I was descending into another world...I loved every second I was there. I couldn't help but look... more

This was the coolest place we went while in Playa. It was so beautiful, such a strange, unique experience to have cocktails in a cave. In the US, we are not allowed to touch anything in caves, as they are protected by the government, and there, they walk you around, encourage you to touch things, gave us a private tour... more

I did not eat any food at this restaurant, but had heard about it while doing research for our trip. I had to ask a local to get directions because the Los Aluxes on 5th is not the same. The local asked how I had heard about this place. I told him the internet. He was surprised because he said... more

After reading the recommendations on tripadvisor we decided to have a meal here. We visited on a Sunday evening and the photographs we have taken do not do justice to the cave. It was breathtakingly beautiful. Our waiter showed us to a table which was actually part of the cave covered in a table cloth - we ordered a bottle... more

I found out about this place while doing research right here on TA and WOW WHAT A NEAT PLACE!!!! My husband and I hopped in a cab and arrived at Alux on a Sunday evening right as they were opening for a quick drink. While my hubbie talked to Tony the bartender ( a great guy) about different kinds of... more

We were told about Alux and decided, what the heck, let's check it out. I am so glad we did. I can't believe we could have been in the area and missed this amazing place. You are literally eating in a cave, surrounded by stalagtites and stalagmites all backlit in different colors. It blows your mind. This would be a... more
