Ilios

What an unreal experience! From start to finish, everything was incredible. Brandon and Facu were absolute stars — so friendly, fun, and made the whole night feel like a proper Greek celebration. The food was amazing, every dish bursting with flavour, and the drinks were on another level. We even got to smash plates, which made it all the more unforgettable! Honestly, one of the best nights out we’ve had in ages. Can’t wait to come back!

​Our recent visit to Ilios Greek Restaurant in Playa del Carmen was nothing short of spectacular, and a huge part of that was thanks to the impeccable service and stunning atmosphere. From the moment we walked in, we were captivated by the restaurant's gorgeous design. The decor is absolutely breathtaking, creating a truly luxurious and beautiful setting that feels both elegant and welcoming. ​The food was a work of art, with every dish not only tasting incredible but also presented with beautiful precision. The flavors were authentic and bold, reminding us of a true Greek culinary journey. ​What truly elevated our experience, however, was the outstanding service. Our waiter, Abraham, was a true professional. He was incredibly attentive and helpful, anticipating our needs and offering excellent recommendations with a warm and genuine demeanor. The entire staff was amazing as well, working together seamlessly to ensure every guest felt special. ​Ilios isn't just a meal; it's an experience. The combination of the stunning ambiance, exquisite food, and a top-tier team—especially Abraham—makes this a must-visit spot in Playa del Carmen. We can't wait to return!

Wow. Were do I being with how amazing this place was. The service was top notch and the food was amazing. We also went on a Saturday night and it was definitely turned up to 11 there. They had constant entertainment. It was very loud so I recommend not coming maybe on the weekends because it was a party so if you don't like that try somewhere else but if you do this is the place to be. Only complaint is while we were there a VIP came in and once they came in our service went absolute crap because everyone was taking care of this person. Kinda rubbed me the wrong way because we are also paying customers but luckily that was at the end of our dinner so we did get to experience the regular service. Would definitely go back.

Came for my birthday, and it was an amazing experience. I was a bit afraid it was going to be a tourist trap but I’m so glad we came! The food was DELICIOUS. Most dishes were unknown to us but there wasn’t anything we didn’t like. They brought out a cake for me which was ok but the baklava was of course the star. We were lucky we got a table right in front of all the action. Service was of course top notch. All the different shows were amazing, I loved how the staff encourages you to participate when able to. We got there at 7, and were about to leave at 9:30 when I asked the waiter about the breaking dishes part, he said they do it at 10 if we wanted to wait around so we ordered drinks and stayed. It was fun but we were pretty much the last ones to do it and they were like hurry! Hurry! So didn’t get to enjoy it that much. Other than that, no complaints, it was really a great experience and I would 100% go back for another special occasion.

When we can to Ilios, we knew there was going to be some kind of show, we didn’t know it was going to be so much fun! Starting around 9:15pm and going till we left about 2 hours later, there were belly dances, dire googling, crowd participation and more. The atmosphere was electric and infused with happiness and fun. Our servers Abram and Caleb were friendly and very accommodating. The food, all of it, was absolutely delicious with the fish, that was cooked with salt and then stripped, set on fire table side and then served, being the highlight of the meal. It was a great evening all together except for one thing that actually made us leave before we could finish our dessert: SMOKING. The seating area is not outside. It does have open windows around and fans Inside, but those fans are turned off every time there is a show, which is a lot. There shouldn’t be smoking allowed inside. It’s 2025 and we all know that second hand smoke kills. And it smells bad and for some, makes us sick. Please, please, please follow the trend all around the world and ban smoking inside. So, highly recommended, just watch out for the smoking….

Agustin and Roberto were fantastic! They were both very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed during our dining experience. The food was delicious and the atmosphere is very nice. This is a great option to dine on 5th avenue.

What an absolutely spectacular place. From the start, the staff were warm and welcoming. Brandon and Facu were so professional and made the evening so special and definitely somewhere we will be coming back to. Thank you so much for an incredible night.

This place is a MUST!!!!! A Magical Greek Dining Experience in the Heart of Playa! Ilios Playa del Carmen is hands down one of the most spectacular dining experiences I've had in Mexico. From the moment we walked in, we were transported to a Mediterranean paradise. The décor is breathtaking—elegant, warm, and authentically Greek with a modern twist. The food was absolutely phenomenal. Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The ambiance is lively and unforgettable, with music, dancing, and even the iconic plate-breaking tradition that adds so much fun to the night. The staff was incredibly warm and professional, making sure we felt like VIPs the entire time. If you're in Playa del Carmen and want a mix of amazing food, incredible service, and an unforgettable atmosphere—Ilios is a must-visit. Bravo!
