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.

We sat on the couches on the beach. Attention to detail, Delicious food, great service, beautiful atmosphere. Highly recommend for a romantic quick bite or dinner with friends. It is a stray from the bohemian character and culture of zipolite - while we enjoyed everything - I would suggest this place as an option but not a solution to all the other great small culturally significant locally owned and family driven restaurants in town. They are open later than 6pm- so that should be updated on Yelp.

So we ended up coming here again to try their shrimp pizza since it looked really good seeing the…read morebig juicy shrimp on someone else's pizza (and the customers at the time confirmed how delicious it was) and oh my goodness am I glad we did... If you love shrimp like I do you need to do yourself a favor and order shrimp pizza from here - they have shrimp pizza at another place but it is not as good as here since this place uses the big juicy shrimp and not the tiny shrimps other places use... The flavor of the cheese and shrimp with the peppers and onions is the perfect balance and it is bursting with flavor... best shrimp pizza I ever had and my favorite pizza in Zipolite My only real complaint is that they charred the crusts on the pizza this time so much so that they were black and bitter and we couldn't even get the dogs to eat the crusts because of how burnt they were ... this didn't happen before when we ordered pizza here so I am guessing it was just a finicky oven and sometimes they accidentally burn it and sometimes they don't Anyway, the crusts aren't that important and I still really enjoyed this pizza place ... customer service was OK and relatively quick with the order ... I definitely recommend eating in the outside area rather that inside the restaurant since the oven bakes the back of your neck if you eat inside

Walked by in the late afternoon, saw lots of fresh fish, asked for menu. They don't have one, so…read moreasked price. They said 180 pesos for the shrimp or fish. We came back later for dinner. Ordered a slice of fish for me and shrimp for my wife, plus a glass of wine. My fish was over cooked. When we were finished, they wrote our bill in a notebook and showed it to us. It was 900 pesos! $48.00! They had charged us 300 pesos for each dish, plus 300 pesos for the wine. This is twice what most of the restaurants in town were charging. I felt very swindled. Beware of this place.

We ordered mojito and beers plus guacamole to start and then fish with garlic and chicken as main course. The food came promptly and was nice. The whole fish was over cooked and the quantity of the guacamole was small. The cost came to under $300 per person which is good value

So we decided to come back here to try the mango habanero wings/legs and we are glad we did …read more.. super tasty combo of tangy, sweet and spicy ... but not too spicy or two sweet - just the right amount. And the wings were juicy and the bones easy to open to access the marrow ... skins could have been crispier but hey it was good anyway ... they cost a bit more than 10 pesos per wing which isn't bad and I loved the flavor ... I also appreciated how they decorated a fancy little salad around the wings and randomly decided to give us a big free basket of tortilla chips which where still warm when they arrived ... we were actually confused if we got the tortillas because we were waiting a little while for the wings or because it was complementary... either way, it was appreciated I actually came back here again later in the week to have the classic fish burger for 60 pesos but I did not find myself liking it as much as I remember when I stole a few bites from my partner ... when I ended up having the whole meal I found it to be an overly fatty meal with the fries and the super tender and oily fish burger ... it was tasty but perhaps my body just needed something healthier at the time... it also fell apart in my little hands but the customer service was super fast and kind so or course they need to have a good tip ... particularly with their prices being half of what the prices are of nearby restaurants

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 enjoyed the shrimp salad - large, fresh shrimp perfectly flavored and a fresh, crisp salad. For entrees our table enjoyed the fresh fish of the day, pork loin and gnocchi. Everything was fantastic and this was one of my favorite "fancy" meal in the area. It is more expensive than some other places but we found the price was reasonable given the quality and freshness. Hope to get back here one day!
