I stayed at Alquimista and absolutely loved the easy beach access -- the stretch of sand right out…read morefront is nude-friendly, gorgeous, and spotless. The beach dogs were a highlight: friendly, chill, and so well-behaved that a few even napped at our feet during meals. Service at the restaurant was quick, and I ate there often -- the food was great and the Wi-Fi there worked well. I also felt really safe; there's someone stationed outside through the night. The rooms were comfortable, and the cleaning staff deserves special mention -- the woman who cleaned our room went above and beyond (she even organized my makeup one morning!). Everything was spotless, and the beds were super cozy. The main downside was the Wi-Fi in the rooms -- it barely worked, so I had to head down to the restaurant for a connection. We stayed in a suite, which looked a bit more spacious in the photos, so that was a small disappointment. There were also a few bugs and small critters (mosquitoes, crickets, lizards), but considering the off-grid, jungle-meets-beach vibe, it's understandable. Overall, it was a great stay -- beautiful setting, perfect location, and easy access to food, the beach, and town. Would definitely recommend for anyone who wants a laid-back, scenic Tulum experience.

Ordered a pizza with pepperoni ham sausage and bacon. They put hot dogs on it. Literally hot dogs…read more No pepperoni no bacon. Also put my sauce in a bag. Why?

Located along Playa Zipolite. It's ok! We dropped by for a drink before dinner. For a weekday…read moreevening, it was largely empty. We opted for beachfront seating. At high tide, the water occasionally comes up to your feet :3 Seating isn't the cleanest, there were cigarettes on the floor and the table had drink residue... Service was a also bit slow, first took a while to take our orders and even longer to deliver the orders. We were maybe one of three parties there... The drinks themselves were fine. Not terrible, but I think we've had better elsewhere.

This beach side restaurant is famous for their seafood, although they serve most everything. What…read morecaught my attention most on the menu, was their pizza. I found out that they actually don't start serving pizza until the late afternoon. I've been craving a pizza for months, and the only good pizza that I've experienced so far was in the capital city. For lunch I selected the two tacos de res. The tacos were made to order and they were excellent. The best thing about this restaurant is the ocean view. The complete side facing the ocean is open to the beach. You get the breeze, ocean surf and sea salt smell, and adequate sun. The restaurant is protected from the sun and elements. I could literally sit here all day, however I didn't notice any receptacles to plug in and charge. I also don't know if they have WiFi here. There is an adjacent hotel that is part of the establishment which I'm sure is nice for the guests that stay here.

We started with a glass of wine and a margarita and added on the Quesadillas with flank steak. Meal came with bread sticks and a pesto sauce and seasoned butter. The meal consisted of four mini quesadillas that could be eaten like soft tacos. Came with a slightly spicy sauce along chopped lettuce, carrots and onions to add on to the tortillas. I added the pesto as well as the spicy sauce and it was great! Total cost was just $335 pesos--about $17,00US. A cheap, really good dinner. We didn't leave hungry

This is an upscale restaurant in La Crucecita. We had a delicious meal at this lovely restaurant…read more We started with a great blue cheese lettuce salad, which came wrapped with a band of crisp tortilla. Outstanding! The filet mignon was very tender and cooked exactly as I requested. I had it with butter, lemon and garlic, which was wonderful. The service was excellent and there were several good wines to choose from. The space is upstairs with a view over the square. The atmosphere is lovely and quiet. The lighting was very nice and the fans and light breeze provided relief from the heat. For a very nice meal, I highly recommend Onix.

I had eggs over easy in huevos rancheros for breakfast and 24 hours later I came down with what…read moreappears to be salmonella food poisoning. This was the only meal that others in my family did not eat yesterday and none of them are sick, so I'm assuming this was the source. Bottom line - I need my head examined for eating undercooked eggs here. My apologies to Onix if this wasn't the source of my food poisoning, but it seems most likely. We also ordered guacamole, and fresh squeezed orange juice and grapefruit juice. Delicious.

LOVE LOVE LOVE the Cesar salad at this place!…read more Banana's has the best Cesar salad I think I have ever had. And I have had some really good Cesar salad. One of my faves is having a Cesar salad at "Keens Steakhouse" in midtown Manhattan. YUM! It's hard to top that. However, this Cesar salad in the stone bowl with the hard boiled egg, fresh shaved Parma cheese & super fresh anchovy dressing keeps me coming back here just for that. The other thing I love here is the pizza dough & scratch Italian bread they make. The pizza dough is very very good when it's cooked properly. It's old world style, just like in Italy. Super light thin crust with air holes, that is slightly chewy where the "crusty edges" turn that blistery charred black omg so good :)... They also have a fun little personal size pizza that is PERFECT for sharing as a appetizer or a meal for one. LOVE the small size of the personal pizza! Yay! If you ask, they will make you a seafood pizza with local fresh shrimp & chunks of fresh fish WOZA! So YUM! What I don't like about this place is every time I order the pizza (and I do tell them to cook it extra crispy) "well done" every single time, it comes undercooked. Every single time I have to send it back to have it cooked twice. It's very good when they cook it crispy but I should not have to ask every time "well done" & STILL have to send it back to be cooked more bc the bottom of the pizza is raw. AND I do lift the pizza up & show them that the bottom is indeed RAW. Total fail. Bummers :( On a positive note I have heard they have great breakfast here but I have never tried it. My Girlfriends have brekkie here & they like it. (For me, Virginia's has the best freakin breakfast in Port & it's the only place I will go) They also make one of the best margaritas on Zicatela beach here. I always stop by for margaritas at some point, and they are always great. I have never had any problems with service & they do accept Credit Cards, which is a plus, since I lost my debit card in the ocean. Good times. Lol While Banana's might not cook the pizza enough for me the first go round they have always corrected it no questions asked. Hopefully they can work on the pizza cook time in the future & I can update my review. In the meantime, I highly recommend their Cesar Salad & Margaritas! Recommend for lunch & dinner. Credit Cards accepted!
