Absolutely the most beautiful spot for a day in the sun with the seclusion of a spectacular private beach equiped with well protected palapas and exquisite fresh fish cuisine served up for either lunch or dinner at a romantic and rustic open air dining spot on the beach. Al Cielo is the perfect spot for a special anniversary or like event. Just 20 minutes south of Playa del Carmen and accessible by taxi. Call ahead for reservations as they hold private weddings there and they usually take all the dining spots. Also, there is a small inn there but has not been tested by this reviewer.
