if you don't have troubles dealing with little electricity, no A/C, nearly no water pressure and if you are a girl who's used to use every day and iron machine for your hair or a guy who's pants are always flat, this is NOT the place for you to be. This is what they like to call the “rustic-chic” place.... More

Our friends threw a birthday celebration/3 day concert at Zamas Hotel and Resort in Tulum. I can not imagine a more beautiful setting, a more accommodating staff or a better value than our group experienced at Zamas. Our group took over the entire resort; my wife and I were lucky enough to stay at the Casa Vijello (I'm not sure... More

Stayed at Zamas with my husband and teenage daughter. From first sight we knew it was exactly what we needed. The fresh-air restaurant was brightly colored & whimsically decorated, staff was extremely friendly. The food was the best in town. Great mojitos and margaritas too! Our beach front bungalow was absolutely perfect. No air conditioner but with the ocean breeze... More

I'm not one to complain but after 4 nights I just got frustrated,I have never written a trip advisor review before but I was forced 2, it was one problem after another. First I was promised a room with a ocean view received nothing of the sort. Got a room on the otherside of the resort itself, away from all... More

The cabanas are beautiful and comfortable with gorgeous tiled bathroom. I loved the quirkiness of the place very much. Yes, the electric was off in the night and the water pressure wasn't super, but you knew you were in Mexico and not in some cookie-cutter motel room anywhere in the world. The food at the restaurant was outstanding and the... More

Stayed with friends in 2 bungaloes for a week in Mar. Bungaloes were quaint rendered timper structures, pretty much thatch roofed huts. Very confortable, but with low water pressure. Tap water is not drinkable being a combination of fresh and salt water. No refrigeration and can't use high power devices, eg hair dryers as the power supply can't handle it.... More

Very nice beach and eating area, great live music at night, wifi available in the restaurant area. Our individual rooms were very nice with a nice bathroom and shower. Enjoyed having the restuarant on premise. Great hammocks and lounge chairs on the beach. Great location right on the trendy Tulum strip.

We stayed here for 4 nights and it was a lovely spot. The beach is nice but if you walk a 500m around the headland the beach stretches for miles and is nicer although much busier with places to stay. Zamas is in a good spot with a nice restaurant which was always popular. We loved our bungalows and hammocks... More

I have been staying at Zamas with my partner once or twice a year for at least 15 years. I go there to relax and rejuvenate my soul. I didn't review it previously because I always hoped it would remain my little secret retreat. But since the Tulum beaches were listed on the Travel Channel as one of the top... More

I was going to start with the age old cliché that people use when on review sites; "I don't usually post but felt the need to", but I won't. I stayed at Zamas from 2/25 – 3/3, we stayed for 5 days on the beach cabana and 2 days in the Jungle House. We arrived at 5pm on the Saturday... More
