We loved our stay at Zamas. It was the perfect get away for peace and relaxation. A lovely bungalow steps away from the ocean. The staff was incredible and helpful. The restaurant was excellent and frankly, if you want quiet and beauty, you don't need to leave the premises. We want to go back here someday! read more

What an awesome way to watch the sunset and have the fish cooked that we caught ourselves. Absolutely the spot to go to after deep sea fishing with Mexidivers. They only charged us $250 per plate (tacos, ceviche and grilled fish) for cooking up a delicious plate of fish. Drinks were great too because it was happy hour. read more

What an incredible spot. Fancy: no Pretentious: no All inclusive and luxurious: no (but there is a restaurant/bar and it is very good) Pool: yes but it's across the street and not very big or exciting Now for why I gave it 5 stars: Incredible views and sunrises: yes! Friendly staff and great service: yes! Comfortable, fun accommodations: yes! Best hammocks at a resort: yes! Quiet and relaxing: yes! If you're looking for a bougie hotel with glamorous accommodations, this isn't it. But if you're looking for a super relaxing place to stay in Tulum, with a unique look, directly on the water, with lots of cushioned lounges under canopies, and colorful hammocks and chairs overlooking the water, this is it! We had the best time in our girls trip staying here and plan to return. The only downsides to this property are: - the bathroom isn't ideal: slippery floor, can't flush toilet paper (but that's everywhere in this part of Tulum), and no curtains or privacy barriers. - seaweed: as mentioned in most reviews, the seaweed is plentiful so it's hard to actually walk along any beach or easily get in the water. But the pro this con is that you have a lot of privacy on the property. Nobody's trying to sell you anything along the beach like a many Caribbean vacation destinations. read more

Magnificent!!! Extraordinary!! This is place is wonderful! I was looking for awhile a place in front of the beach. When I saw this place on the internet my first thought was wow "just what I want". I booked this place and I was not wrong! It's wonderful ! We arrived and everyone was so helpful and amicable. They show us our bungalow , wow ! Fabulous ! Just look at the pictures! Inside the bungalow everything was so rustic and romantic, we even had a mosquito net! Two Hammocks are in front where you can sit relax with a beer or margarita in you hand. Basically you are staying inside beach! It's unbelievable!!! The staff here are marvelous! Everytime they make you feel welcome ! Everyone is amazing!! The restaurant is superb!!! Every plate is excellent! The service is great! All the food we ordered here were heavenly! The drinks were well done. You can hear the waves and feel them every night, you will sleep like a baby. Is a retreat, no TV so bring your tablet if you Need Netflix or Hulu lol. Parking is available and someone is watching the cars 24 hours. Security in both ends watching the place at all times. I will come here again with my eyes closed! It's phenomenal! Extremely recommended! read more

Came here on a trip with my girlfriends. The space was simple but comfortable and clean. We liked the few amenities we had, and it felt very, very safe. The staff was nice and accommodating. The space was a bit away from the downtown but right on the beach with incredible sunrises. The pool was chilly. read more

Zamas is the best hotel on earth. They just hosted 38 of my nearest and dearest for my 40th birthday celebration. The staff helped book amazing excursions for us, a candlelit dinner on the terrace for my birthday, a poolside happy hour, and so much more. They were accommodating on every level, to a degree I've never experienced at a hotel before. The food at the Zamas restaurant is unbelievably good. I will forever dream of the pepita dip, fried shrimp tacos, and huevos rancheros. Thank you for everything Zamas - I will never forget this trip. read more

This review is for the beach front restaurant. This was the first meal of our trip and it couldn't have been more wonderful. The service was quick, friendly, and SO amazing! The views were seriously out of this world. We got a few dishes to share, including the enchiladas, breakfast tacos, and quinoa. They were all delicious and I highly recommend them all. Our family of 5 was celebrating a big birthday and the staff remembered and brought out a delicious cake and sang happy birthday to our dad. It was a fabulous cake and a great way to start our trip. Ps. We love Chula, the resident pup! She made sure we felt very welcome. read more

Worth noting: This review is for the beach bar and restaurant experience not a stay at the hotel. We rolled into the Tulum beach area via bike from town and quickly wanted a relaxing spot to stock our toes in the sand, order a drink and read our books. Voila, from the street we could tell Zamas' laid back beachside setting fit the bill. I'm not sure if this is always the case but as long as we were ordering drinks/food, we could enjoy their umbrellas and chairs. I especially appreciated the laid back vibe of this hotel and that it was significantly separated from the hustle and bustle of the rest of the Tulum beach village. My friend and I took advantage of the happy hour deal if 2-for-1 drinks and had two rounds of mezcal margaritas that were so good (and strong)...I was feeling it (plus the drink I had later) the next day at the Tulum ruins. Our server was friendly and not pushy but easy to find for each order. We ended up not ordering food but the beet hummus with veggies certainly caught my eye. read more

This is an amazing place to eat, it's right on the beach the food is amazing the service is really good as well. We ordered stuffed peppers, Huevos rancheros, and avocado toast as well as cold brew coffee and fresh watermelon juice. The view is amazing and they have a lot of seating options for inside and outside. Definitely check this place out if you're in TULUM. read more

This is a review for the restaurant: All the food I've had here is amazing but what takes the cake is the view and ambiance. If you eat here for breakfast you'll be right on the beach (or if you sit on the terrace the mini cliffs). I had a delicious latte and huevos xcatli (not sure the spelling). For dinner it is super romantic. Candles are on every table and the sound of the waves will be all around. On a Thursday night they had live music (new age sounding music). For dinner my partner and I had the guacamole, charred broccoli and sweet potato pizza. All were tasty- especially the charred broccoli and cauliflower. I recommend ordering a mezcal margarita- no added sugar and so good. read more

I fell in love with Zamas. Its a sweet resort located on either side of the main road in Tulum. We could walk or ride bikes to all the local places and the ruins. Zamas has an excellent staff, super friendly and helpful. The place has its own security so we felt very well looked after. The restaurant has great food and drinks and the sunrise is just the best!! And they have a beautiful dog that greets you! Beach front palapas, a private pool and also houses and casitas across the street!! I super highly recommend.... the only drawback is the seaweed...... so pay attention to when you go... it didnt really bother us but obviously it would have been better if there were not mountains of seaweed! read more

I had Huevos rancheros with potatoes instead of tortilla and I added Chaya! Soooo good and clean tasting! Bill got the baked eggs which were smoky and beautiful in a clay pot! I got the tutti-frutti which of hibiscus and ginger syrup... Little sweeter than the healthy drinks at Canopia or Tunich but lovely still... next time I would get the green drink with Chaya! The best farewell breakfast! I always come here on my las day in Tulum!!!! Wade in the tide pools until my breakfast comes. read more

Enjoyed my stay at Zamas and definitely plan to return. It's right next to a such/snorkel shop and walking distance from several great vegan/vegetarian restaurants. The Zamas restaurant itself is really good as well and the drinks are very fresh and unique. The rooms are comfortable and spacious, but definitely for people that are use to a certain level of intimacy. PS bring bug repellent as it seems to be mosquito season all the time. read more

Beach front dining area. As we got out entrees we literally saw a small boat come out of no where and stop on shore to drop off the biggest freshest fish I've ever seen IN MY LIFE! ... fish tacos with perfectly ripe avocado. And avocado toast with goat cheese and a fried egg jumped out to us from the menu. Everything was cooked perfectly and fresh. If you can believe it, our drinks were even better. I'd definitely recommend stopped by for a bite while traveling in tulum! read more

Food poisoning... Both my wife and I got sick here this past Thursday night. We had the Empanadas. The taste was a bit off, but soon after getting back to our room and falling asleep, we were both sick. I'll spare you the details. On top of this we had cold pizza and hot wine. Poor excuse for a Resturant. We ate all up and down Tulum and had great experiences at Mi Amore, La Zebra, Casa Banana, and Arcs. Find another place and avoid the possibility of losing an entire day of your vacation. read more

The food here is delicious! Had some fresh tacos. Their guac was so damn good. And the view is unbeatable!

The staff is incredible and really made our stay despite the seaweed issues on the beach. The staff helped us find other activities not on the beach, such as the ruins, cenotes, and local food. The restaurant is so convenient, delicious, and well priced compared to alot of places on the beach. There is security personnel present 24/7 which helped us feel very safe. The hotel is close to the town and close to the south beach hotel zone. The front desk helped us set up taxis and transportation from the airport. Housekeeping did a great job cleaning our house while we were out adventuring tulum. We were there in July and the air conditioning was a life saver! read more

Stopped here after a 20-minute bike ride to the beach. Windy day but the view was great, the service was exceptional and I had one of the best cocktails of my trip--passionfruit mojito. Solid guacamole and margaritas. Nice beach vibe. Not too protected on windy days, but definitely a place I'd come back to. Really appreciated the hospitality and entertainment from the white dog roaming the sand-floored room. read more

Right on the ocean, down south of the fancy resorts, you'll find Zamas between a narrow stretch of road and the ocean. We stayed in a thatch roof hut, complete with a mosquito net over the bed, a tile shower, a door that opens up right to the beach itself, and a hammock under the shade. Absolute perfection. Besides being just steps from the water, you're also a few steps away from the Zamas restaurant/bar with everything from delicious Mexican food to pizza. Down the street Zamas is on, there are more little stores, a coffee hut, restaurants, and a few more hotels. Go off-season and enjoy the calmness and serenity of fewer tourists and of course, waking up to the sound of the ocean just a few meters from your door. read more

Note: This review is only for the bar Beautiful ocean facing seats Live music on certain days Friendly staff Excellent drinks - I highly recommend passion fruit mojito read more

Fantastic food, music, and service! We stayed at the cabanas and ended up eating here a few times. Vegetable queso tacos are divine! The margaritas were the best we could find in Tulum and the music each night was awesome! Flamenco fusion and Jazz trios. Such a great place! And the best verde hot sauce in Tulum. Loved it. read more

We have a lovely lunch at Zamas. The shrimp appetizer was to die for. We wanted to lick the plate! I had the grouper sandwich which was really tasty. We also had pork tacos which were OK. Ambiance is great - sitting outside in the sand near the water. Fun place to eat! read more

Great people, facilities, and service. Don't hesitate to visit Zamas. It's excellent.

This is a review is only for the restaurant not the hotel. We're staying at a villa in Akumal. This is my favorite so far. The setting is nice, right on the water. Food was amazing and if you're a pasta fan try the Beet Spaghetti which was probably the best I've had in a while. The staff are friendly and they had a DJ playing remixes of all my favorite songs. Be ready to wait a little bit for your food but trust me it's worth it. Definitely will come back!!! read more

This place is awesome. Meny and Daniel were excellent. Meny, bartender, was very personable and made some of the best margaritas I've had. He took care of us the whole time with top level service. Daniel, at the front desk, took care of everything we needed. He made sure we were comfortable and happily took care of all of our requests. These guys are great and they made my stay awesome. Zamas is an EXCELLENT experience all around. This review is long overdue, but wanted to make sure I put it out there! read more

Came for breakfast on the way to the Tulum ruins. The view was fantastic and the food is equally amazing. I lean towards savory over sweet, but the ricotta doughnuts sounded too good to pass up, and I'm so glad I ordered them. It tasted like heaven dipped in chocolate. Yes . . . that good. The dough was that perfect melt in your mouth consistency and the hint of ricotta was just the right amount. I also got a cold brew and the watermelon mint juice, but with ginger syrup instead of the agave. The slight ginger taste was a nice addition and I would definitely recommend this swap. I would come back here in a heartbeat. In fact, I'm trying to see how I can squeeze in another visit before I leave. read more

This place was a really spacious place that was perfect for my family. there were 2 twin beds and 1 king bed. The pool was unique and a great temperature. Each room had a hammock that was under the shade. they give free towels for the beach. The only part I didn't like about is that there was a lot of seaweed but that was not much of a problem. Finally all the people were all super friendly. read more

I found Zamas on booking.com, but they don't put the kids for some reason! So I emailed the hotel and they gave us a free upgrade to a wonderful room for the 4 of us. I absolutely fell in love with this place from the moment we entered. Whimsical, fun, beautiful filled with lovely people... The rooms are all curved walls, tiles, thatched roofs, with a soothing palette. The 2 16 yr old girls weren't thrilled with the door-less toilet and shower, but both were tucked away in sweet little niches so it was ok. I totally recommend this little hotel to everyone.... The food delicious, the beds so comfy, and yes mosquito nets are needed, but really not so much after feeding time at dusk. I wish we had spent the whole 10 days there! Go! Say hi to Chelsea for me! read more

Warning to all those staying at Casa Vallejo while at Zamas. The house has a gated entrance, but the gate's lock does not work. There is only a barrel bolt that can easily be opened from outside the gate. Additionally, the door to the house does not have a proper locking system. When you exit the house there is only a padlock with 1 key and while you are in the house you can use a drawbar to keep the door closed. There is no way to secure the door while some of the guests are still outside or inside, as they would be locked in/out. Our group of 9 women were robbed at 8AM on Sunday, March 10 2019 while we were sleeping. One of the women in our group went outside on the porch to read at 7:45AM, while on the porch, she fell asleep. At this time a man came into the house, stole an iphone, jewelry and thousands of dollars in cash and credit cards. He went into rooms where some of the women were sleeping, even venturing to the second floor. We realized we had been robbed when the whole group was awake around 10:30AM and received fraudulent alerts from our banks. One full day of our vacation was spent investigating with Zamas how this could have happened. Thankfully, those working at the hotel were very helpful and got us video evidence of the robbery as well as lunch and a trip to the police department. However, the hotel management not on premises was very disagreeable and took a painstakingly long time to get us proper incident documentation and an adequate refund for our awful experience. The hotel took no responsibility for this invasion, even though the premise and house do not have the proper locks in place. Before any groups book this space, it is imperative that Zamas address the security concerns by installing additional locks on the fence, revisiting the lock on the front door, and sharing this experience with guests so they are on alert and sure to use the safes provided. We have been loyal guests of Zamas and Tulum for years, this was an unfortunate circumstance we wish had been handled much better. All we can do now is share our story in hopes of increasing the safety and providing enjoyment to future guests. read more

Everything about that place is just great, the people, the food the view, everything! Oh not to mention the location is just great, so many near by little bars and shops and it's just a few mins to town! A lot of people just bike there but we took a can and we were there in just a few mins. The people are friendly the town has a very relaxed feel. Before I came I read reviews of course, but I also read Zamas website. I believe if everyone before they booked did that this place would have 5 stars, because there it explains everything. This is a very eco friendly place, no tv, and a few of the rooms are a little small, but honestly when your in Mexico who stays in their room and watches tv anyhow? There is way to much to explore. We actually had a big beach room ( they upgraded us because we had got engaged there) and if we weren't out and about we were in our hammocks enjoying the view and used the room for just what it's for, shower and sleep( awesome shower and comfy bed) I would live there if I could. I felt right at home. Planning a trip in April and possibly our wedding there too. If you like to relax and get out of the hustle and bustle this is the place for you! read more

Had a mixed experience staying here for a vacation with my boyfriend's family. We stayed for 2 nights, and thoroughly enjoyed the hotel. The beach right outside the door, the hammocks by our porch, and the cute cabañas themselves were all very nice touches. The restaurant was a little overpriced, but we loved the fact that the hotel was right in the middle of Tulum's great beach town and we could walk across the street to Mateo's to have breakfast or watch soccer during their generous happy hour. The staff was very friendly and worked hard to make us happy and comfortable. I would give my general experience at this hotel 4 stars. I'm taking off two stars, however, because of an experience we had on our last morning at the hotel. My boyfriend's dad is Salvadoran, and we were all hanging out on the hotel's beach together as we took one last swim/prepared to check out. He broke away from our group to walk down the beach and take some pictures on his phone, and was approached somewhat angrily by an older Caucasian male member of the hotel staff who we hadn't seen before (possibly an owner?). The staff member asked him if he was a guest at the hotel, and further demanded that he show his room key AND point out his family. I can't help but feel that this move was pretty racist-- I had spent a lot of time walking on that beach by myself taking pictures as well, and was never approached by staff. My boyfriend's dad wasn't bothering anyone and was visibly uncomfortable after this interaction (which was definitely more of a confrontation than a friendly check-in.) I think it's safe to assume that he was approached because he didn't fit the image of their "typical" hotel guests, which is pretty ridiculous for a hotel in Mexico! Seeing this happen definitely detracted from my overall stay; I won't be back. read more
