Great place. Food is excellent. Beach not really big but swimming pool is very nice. Have good place to get out of sun if you want.
Still one of the most pleasurable options if one is getting off of the cruise ship for the day. You pay a nominal amount and it is all credited toward your meal and the food is excellent here especially the coconut shrimp and that gives you access to the swimming pool and the beach so all in all it's just a perfect getaway that is a little less known than other places on the island but for me, it's the place I will always visit because of the delicious lunch.
The ambiance of this place is amazing. We had the tuna aguachile appetizer and it was one of my favorite dishes I've had on my trip so far. The entrance fee was equivalent to $20 usd per person but the fee is applied to you food bill. There's also a pool & snorkeling and jet ski rentals available. Would definitely recommend this spot if you like a more quiet and chill vibe with good food
This is always a must stop when we visit Cozumel! Food is always outstanding. A little out of our way when we stay, but well worth the drive to that part of the island. Staff are nice. Reservations recommended.
I've been in Cozumel for 3 weeks now, been to many places but this is my favorite spot hands down! They make the best jalapeño margarita, yummy food, great service and love the location. We even came to the beach club and rented a cabana, love the beautiful beach here, and where the cabanas are secluded from the main area and more private. I'd love to come back here one more time before I leave the island...
Food is good, beach is clean! The staff is friendly and attentive. I believe when we went in March 2024 it was $50 a person, however it goes towards your food. The staff tried to up charge us on a few items so just make sure to check your receipt. Pretty fun for snorkeling!
Came here for dinner. The place itself is beautiful and the view is stunning. Truly a beautiful spot to have a meal. I ordered the coconut shrimp (4/5), crispy calamari (4/5) and the key lime pie dessert (4.5/5). The sauces were quite nice (although I wish they had a bit more kick). One of the highlights honestly was the starter bread - it was so delicious and buttery I kept going back for more. This place is certainly on the pricier side relative to other restaurants on the island but it's a good place for a nice group meal or date. The staff was very nice as well.
My husband made reservations for us at Buccanos for dinner on our last night in Cozumel. The place was beautiful. Downstairs, you'll find the beach club that operates during the day, and upstairs is the restaurant that is available only for dinner. Inside the restaurant, lounge music played in the background, but at a medium noise level - a perfect compromise for the young and old. Beautiful artwork by local artists decorated the whole place, and in the bathroom, positive, self love messages filled the walls. As we scanned the menus, we noticed the wine selection was small, but well thought out. Since we rarely see Mexican wine, we decided to go with the 2017 Amado IV, which turned out to be quite a tasty red blend. The cocktails also looked very tempting and were very reasonably priced. For our appetizer, my husband and I shared the crunchy calamari. The pieces were nice big cuts and were delicious. The two sauces that came with the dish also complemented the calamari nicely. For our entrees, we shared the seafood skewer and catch of the day, which was a mahi mahi. Both were delicious and the portions huge. I highly recommend the seafood skewer - the lobster, octopus and fish were all grilled to perfection. The dish also came with lots of spinach which I loved. Throughout dinner, the staff checked on us several times and refilled our wines and waters. The owner also stopped by to make sure we were enjoying ourselves. Even though we were stuffed from dinner, we shared the banana crème brulee with a side of banana ice cream for dessert. The crème brulee was delicious, but the ice cream tasted a little too artificial for me and did not taste like banana. Aside from the banana ice cream, everything was perfect. I totally see why Buccanos is the best restaurant in Cozumel. The food, the drinks, the ambiance. This was the best dinner we had in Cozumel. The beach club also looked like a blast. If we had more time in Cozumel, we would have loved to check it out.
(Last visited 12/17/2021.) It's our last night in Cozumel and we wanna go out with a bang! So we did some Yelp'ing, found this place and freaking walked 35 minutes from Cozumel Center to get to it. Lol. We could've Uber'ed, but we needed the exercise. Now I'll tell you why Buccanos was so amazing AND worth the walk. Atmosphere/Appearance: So Buccanos is a beach club. You come here during the day to chill out by the crystal clear water, hang out in the pool, relax on the beach, dine and just get away. The restaurant is woven so cleverly into the club. It's an enormous place with so many places to chill, hang with friends, enjoy intimate time with a loved one or just escape from the busyness of life. There's an outdoor pool, beach access, fire pits, an upper deck to dine under the stars and just so much here! This place was so elegant, especially at night. So chic, fancy and it just made me feel good being here. Service: Our server was amazing as expected. We had everything that we needed and without wait! Food: So we started off with some Xcatic Martinis! I can't remember what was in it and as I check the online menu it's no longer there, but it was decently sweet, lil' spicy, fruity and tropical tasting. With our drinks came these complimentary FREAKING DELICIOUS cheesy Parmesan biscuits. OMG they were fluffy, soft, warm, gooey and practically perfect. They come in this cute lil' tray of 3 with the "B" initial on it. We asked for extra and it wasn't a big deal. Next up was the Buccanos Suchi Roll. This too is no longer on their online menu, but I know it involved salmon and a bit of spice. It was succulent, soft, tender, savory, a smidge spicy, but very well balanced. Lastly, I had the Chef's Risotto. It's a blend of squid, octopus, shrimp and mussels. It was deliciously creamy and temperature hot. The calamari and octopus throw the texture off for me. It also had a strange after taste, but very good. I'd get it with only shrimp next time. Value: If you've read everything I just typed, then you should know this place ain't gonna be cheap. Lol. It's a beach-club that's a total lounge at night. My martini was only $8.00, the sushi was $12.00 and my risotto was $23.00. Things were cheaper than I had predicted and I loved that. You can definitely come here to splurge. In conclusion, I NEED to come here again whenever I'm in Cozumel again. I loved everything about this place. I'd love to come here during the day and watch the place transform once the sun sets.
Had a not so great experience yesterday in Honduras and @buccanos has made up for it all!! Cab driver tried to tell me it was private and I was frustrated with all of my research being in vain!! But no... I called and the lady said they are available until It is at capacity so come on! You pay $20 pp to get in and then that goes towards food & drinks. Which are absolutely amazing! There is snorkeling gear for rent, a pool and plenty of lounge chairs to park it in paradise. The pineapple ginger Mojito was fantastic and so was the Local Euphoria, vodka based drink, margaritas were good too but the star was definitely the guacamole & pico Served with corn and plantain chips - JUsT WOW! The "Avacados from Mexico" song is all I could think of - that's why it's soooo good!! lol! Then we got a burger to share and it was yummy! We Also saw the fish and chips be served lots and it looked amazing too! Such good food y'all! What a refreshing day and a great place and experience! Definitely Worth the money, which was not bank breaking but reasonable - We will be back for sure !!!!!!! Thanks buccanos for a great day!!!
We're back and decided to visit Buccano's hoping the service would be better. It's not. It's somehow gotten worse. I've been trying to flag down a waiter on the beach for the last half hour. We love the food, drinks and ambiance but the service is terrible. To the point where we're talking about leaving and going elsewhere. I doubt we'll be returning this trip. It's unfortunate because this was our favorite place but the lack of service ruins the entire experience.
The views are Buccanos are absolutely breathtaking. You won't be disappointed in the beach area. We brought floats and floated around in the ocean for a while, so relaxing! The pool area is nice, but if you go on Sunday there can be a good bit of children. The food is a little pricy, but not terrible. Everything I've tried has been delicious. I recommend the lobster nachos. I was a bit skeptical reading that they're served with plantain chips, but trust me, they are phenomenal! I'll say that the service here is not very good. The wait staff is not attentive at all. I had to hunt down my own menu while I was on the beach. Not the service you'd expect somewhere as nice as Buccanos.
I almost don't want to write this review and keep it as a secret to myself. One of the people I was traveling with found this gem. For a low price it includes food and amenities to this beach club. I came here with nine other people while visiting Cozumel. Checking in was easy. You pay first and the money can be used towards credit towards food. Everything else extra you have to pay for, such as snorkeling, jet skis, and renting towels. My first thing at this beautiful place was my $100 of deep tissue 60 minutes massage on the beach. No regrets. It was the best thing ever. Total serenity. Then after I went into their private crystal clear beach water with lots of fishes. It was amazing. We also had lounge chairs with umbrellas. And did I mention the food was actually really good. Oh and they had a pool as well. There is a full restaurant too if you prefer that but we liked ordering and having the food come to us. We had an amazing time here and it was the highlight of everyone's trip. I definitely would come back. read more
During our trip to Tulum, we drove out to Playa Del Carmen and took the ferry to Cozumel. We knew we wanted to visit a beach club, but it was around 11am and the most popular ones fill up early. We were worried we weren't going to get in, but we got very lucky they weren't full! When we arrived, we were greeted and they explained its $25pp but that credit goes toward food/drink. We purchased 2 cocktails and an entree while there and it added up to our entry fee. The steak fries were good with a hint of buffalo and plenty of steak and toppings. The two drinks were strong enough and refreshing. They have a lot of loungers by the beach area, a pool next to it, and a restaurant with plenty of seating. Also, plenty of clean restrooms. Towels can be rented from the gift shop and as long as they are returned, they are $1. We had a server stationed by our beach loungers who took good care of us. We would definitely recommend this beach club for a relaxing, chill vibe! It was also family friendly. read more

I was on a cruise and had heard about Buccanos and wanted to check it out since it's kind of off the beaten path. We took a cab ride from the port which too about 20 minutes. Upon arrival we were told there was an entrance fee of about $20 but that the fee would go towards any food and drink purchase. We were sat at a table, and we all gave the waiter, our food and drink choices. The drinks were very good as were the food options we chose. The restaurant itself is in a great location with a nice pool and a small beach. Because it was rather windy on this particular day, I did not take advantage of utilizing one of their loungers. All in all, this was a great experience and I will definitely go back next time. I'm in Cozumel. read more

The best place to come and visit when in Cozumel. Awesome food in the day and awesome atmosphere at night. When in town take time to visit, eat, snorkel, swim and ASK for Luis at the restaurant. Best person to deal with. read more

My wife and I had such a wonderful experience at Buccanos at night that we decided to come back to enjoy the beach club! Just like the restaurant, this didn't disappoint! The club was very busy, which was not surprising because it was a beautiful day. I was impressed with how clean and well kept to the places, especially with the kind of crowd it pulls. We managed to get a poolside table, which was perfect for the day. They have a well maintained pool, and also a nice beach for those who prefer that. The food and drinks were equally as good as their nighttime restaurant, and I was particularly impressed with this mango frozen drink they have; it's delicious! My whole family had a bunch of different foods, and it all looked good. I had the chicken quesadillas which were wonderful. They also had a really great band play during the afternoon. It was an American rock and pop cover band, and they did a fabulous job! I was very impressed by the entertainment. Just like the restaurant, their staff was wonderful and professional. With the amount of people they had to serve, I thought they were quick and efficient. They certainly take a lot of pride at this establishment. Overall, the whole Buccanos experience is wonderful, and I certainly be back the next time I'm on the island. read more

Hands down one of the best beach club experiences we had during our stay. Pedro was a top notch server! He made sure we had every comfort and was super attentive. The food was some of the most sabroso we had during our time in Cozumel. My daughter was on the hunt for lobster and she said it was the best she's ever had and she's had Mastro's in Newport Beach. This place has great amenities too, palapas to use, dining tables a beautiful snorkeling location and a pool! We will be back!! read more

Awesome place to spend your day at the beach, especially if you aren't already staying at a beach resort. There's a minimal food & beverage fee but well worth it. The location, service, food & drink are all top notch! Amenities include umbrellas, lounge chairs, very clean restrooms, sun and shade spots near the beach and the pool. Located a short drive or taxi ride from downtown Cozumel north of the airport on the island's west coast. read more

Hidden treasure of a beach club. You purchase a day pass which then goes towards your order of food and drinks. Slow service but the food was EXCELLENT- we had the buffalo cauliflower, tuna tostada, and tuna in aguachile. The tuna in aguachile has been my favorite thing I've eaten in Mexico so far- phenomenal dish. No seaweed on their beach and the beachside drink service was timely and delicious. I didn't want to leave Buccanos! read more

We went here in a group for lunch and the service was great! It can get a bit busy when the cruise ship groups come, but it wasn't bad while here for lunch. I had coconut shrimp multiple times on the island, but I have to say these had the best coconut flavor. The fish and chips where also delicious! read more
Beautiful place to visit in Cozumel.. clean and great view of the ocean. The staff are very friendly.. The food was great and drinks were great.. price is a little high. But with the blue ocean scenery I think it's well worth it.. Recommend to visit when you are in Cozumel.. not too crowded... read more
