This is a beautifully decorated place- pools, daybeds, bar, beach... However seemed to be more about the money and the tips than enjoyment. We were immediately greeted and seated right away for lunch. Our orders took quite awhile since we were one of three couples in the place, food was ok- ceviche and lobster quesadillas, quite pricey. Very little attention... More

We visited Zama's the last week of April. It is a beautiful place! We were not charged for the chairs as we had lunch and drank tons of cerveza's! I would rate a 5 across the board but it was a little spendy - but delicious and the best service on the island! I highly recommend spending an afternoon there! More

We make it a point to stop here every year. Why, the atmosphere is perfect. Very clean, friendly staff and the pools quite lovely. I remember our first visit when we found it we thought we died and went to heaven. More

We arrived for lunch and drinks - prices were fair and service was excellent! After lunch the kids took a dive in the pool and the adults relaxed with a few more beers poolside. You have the option to rent beach chairs but we opted to just take a poolside take which was free. You can stay as long as... More

Zama continues to be one of my favorite places on Isla Mujeres. In the numerous visits, two things remain the same: the food is excellent and the atmosphere is perfect. The service has been hit and miss at times, and stellar at others. I still go back... Love the fish tacos, probably the best on Isla! More

This place was amazing, OK the beach is not good for swimming really gross and mucky, but the pools, food and music are phenomenal. Stumbled upon this place after driving around for a while on golf carts, once I saw all the other carts outside I knew this was the place to stop. Great music, supper clean beach area, bathrooms...

My husband and I were staying in Canun, but took the ferry to Isla Mujeres for a day trip. We rented a golf cart and toured the island. We stumbled across Zama after visiting the turtle farm. We were pleasantly surprised at the food, facilities, beach and nice view of the water and Cancun. We would definitely recommend this as... More

We went to Zama's based on friends' wows and reviews. I am not sure what I expected but I was curious about beach clubs. Zama's is friendly and, please note, not free. The chairs are 100 pesos and are available sunny beach side or in the shade. The beach itself is small and seaweedy and I wondered why no one... More
