We have passed this restaurant for the past 5 years going to Playacar PAlace, and I read the reviews before r trip this year! We finally went and LOVED IT! Interesting decode w/ parrots/ birds at the entrance. We had the ceviche and lobster tacos! Yummy!!!! Service was great! My hubby had whole fish and I had the mole chix.... More

Great food in a wonderful setting. One of the best meals we had during our trip. The birds were neat. The food is authentic mayan cuisine.

Everything was wonderful that evening. The food, drinks and excellent service. The restaurant looks like a Mayan museum so make sure you go inside and do not miss the restrooms. Serving of the Mayan coffee was a show it itself and tasted awesome. We will have an evening there every time we visit Playa del Carmen.

We had a fantastic dinner at Xulam with our two little daughters. The quality of the meals was very high, we tried special cocktails too, I had a blackberry margerita - so good, loved it. We had the ceviches as a starter, the plate was huge and we shared it between the 4 of us. Then we had 2 entrees... More

This was a wonderful way to end our week in Playa del Carmen. My wife and I split two appetizers (forgot the name of the dish, but we ordered one that came with 4 tacos... so good) drinks, and dessert and everything was phenomenal. The service was exceptional, not over bearing, and the environment was great. Neat Mayan theme, both... More

I normally take half of my dinner home... More

This was one of the most wonderful restaurants I personally have ever been to. It is a must go to place if you are here visiting mexico! It is great for a fun night in the town. The decor, food, and presentation of the food is all excellent. If you staying in playa del carmen, that is the place to... More

Wonderful experience. We returned several times. The staff is very attentive and it is a very unique setting. The parrots love posing for pictures. We even fed one right from our table! Interesting Mayan menu. The Chichen arrows were wonderful and my husband enjoyed his fish. They have some interesting desserts also. Sitting outside you can see the cennote and... More

We visited Playa del Carmen with three other couples during the April 2013 school break. We got tired of the 5th Avenue scene pretty quickly and eventually stumbled on Xulam, just at the entrance to the Playacar I resort development. (Avenue 10 #1. Plaza Antigua. Phone: 52 (984) 8033567) Xulam specializes in Mayan food. The waiter was great, taking time... More
