ZAMAS Hotel

ZAMAS is a small beach cabana hotel with thatch roofs, stucco walls in beach-worn hues and vibrant tile dA©cor. The rustic-chic ambience exudes hammock culture. Muy fuerte margaritas, fresh-off-the-boat fish of the day and wood-fired pizzas add to the surreal when served at the open air, beachfront restaurant, Que Fresco ZAMAS has an eclectic and international clientele of fashion professionals, artists and actors, families, dot-comers and everyone in between.
