Although with a reservation and arriving on time, my pregnant wife and I stood waiting for about 15mins before being seated. Acknowledging that the restaurant was busy, the food wait times were also long, to the point where our entree took so long that we decided to cancel one and leave early. The ambience was energetic and fun.

My wife and I came here in our honeymoon and it was an incredible experience. The service was immaculate, from pushing your chairs in for you, to preparing your drinks at the table; we were treated with so much kindness. The food was delicious and authentic, the fire show and belly dancers were entrancing. The beauty of the restaurant takes you to another place. We would come back to Playa del Carmen just to come back to Ilios. We were in shock with the experience as we’ve never had anything like it. We also expected to pay quite a lot more for what we were given. Easily affordable, incredible. We will recommend everyone!!!!

A very enjoyable evening. It was a nice surprise at the end when they came to our table with the fireworks to celebrate our anniversary. It was a very nice touch. The food was great and the service was impeccable. Loved the show, the music and the dancers. A very nice experience overall. Highly recommended.

Such a disappointment for my birthday. Staff banging into each other, clueless who was our server, waiter never ordered my vegetable and lied, worried that prawns weren’t fully cooked, baklava was frozen and pastichio tasted like Mac n cheese. It was like they opened for business yesterday.

The best service we’ve ever had in our life! We’re both from England and Greek food is our favourite so thought we would try to celebrate our honeymoon. What a place! The service is absolutely incredible, the waiters cannot do enough to make sure everything is perfect, the food is amazing and it is just so much fun! One of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to anywhere in the world! Highly recommend and thank you so much guys! X

Such a fun and amazing experience! This restaurant put so much thought into every detail… form the entertainment, music, food, ambiance- I recommend you come for a fun dinner and to be entertained all night long. The fish was excellent in taste and presentation, appetizers were delicious, and there was even a little bracelet given to the ladies as a thank you gift. Can’t wait to come back!

Wonderful food, service, and entertainment. For dinner they do interactive shows every 15 minutes or so with dancers, songs, and we even got to break plates (Opa!) between shows it’s quiet enough to talk to each other. It was a very unique dining experience.
