Our first trip to Playa and saw Trip Advisor placard at the entrance to this outdoor cafe...walked the beach and then stopped for a very pleasant lunch...drinks were very good, food was excellent, and atmosphere was everything you could ask for in paradise...a very lovely experience

We just returned from Origenes and had a great evening. First of all, the music was fabulous - an acoustic brother and sister duo who play there on the weekend were terrific.

We were is PdC and Origenes hosted our wedding rehearsal dinner for 80+ people. I cannot be more complimentary of the staff, the chef, and the manager.
