“ From the moment we stopped, service was amazing, the quality of the food, beverages (best aloe margarita ever!!), atmosphere was great. If you visit Costa Maya you definitely need to stop here!! Martin, Fernando, and Tigre (the dog) were the best hosts! Definitely coming back to this amazing place ”
“ We came here from our Royal Caribbean cruise and had a great day. We took a taxi from the port which was included in our daily pass. We got beach chairs and beachside service. The snorkel trip was fun and we saw many fish and turtles. The food was EXCELLENT. The only downside was the bathroom does not have running water and could use some rehab. Great option for a Costa Maya excursion. ”
“ 1st time here and the service was great, the food was delicious, the drinks kept coming and the atmosphere was so much fun!! Martin, our server made sure we were set from the get go.

“ Best fish tacos I've ever had! The food was amazing, I want to plan another trip just to come back for the fish tacos here. They were a highlight of our entire trip. ”
“ Our visit to Chunky Monkey Beach Club was one of the highlights of our recent trip to the Caribbean! With only a few hours in port, we were looking for a relaxing spot to unwind, and this beach club exceeded all expectations. The atmosphere was serene, and the beach was stunning. The food was absolutely exceptional, with fresh and flavorful options that truly captured the essence of the region. The tequila selection was outstanding—perfectly smooth and an absolute must-try. A special shoutout to Martin, whose hospitality was second to none. He went above and beyond to make sure our experience was memorable, and his warmth and attentiveness made us feel truly welcome. If you’re in the area, Chunky Monkey Beach Club is a must-visit! We can’t wait to return. ”
“ Great little place further out from the cruise terminal. More private and less crowded. Fernando was our host and he was nothing short of amazing. Homemade food. Best guacamole I've ever had. Margaritas the size of fish bowls. We opted for massages on the beach since the water was a bit rough that day. They do offer snorkeling as well. Bonus beach dog named Tigre! Great place to visit whether you are in for the day or even just a few hours! ”
“ If you visit Costa Maya (Mexico) you must go eat and relax at Chunky Monkey Beach Club. No, it's not really what you expect from a "beach club" (it's just a restaurant), however, it's located right on the sea, which is gorgeous and you can safely swim there. It made me feel I was in Zihuatanejo, Mexico - remember from the movie "The Shawshank Redemption"?. The food was excellent and the service spectacular. To get there, we rented a golf cart at the cruise port and we drove around by the coast line. Beautiful place!!! Great little adventure. ”
“ Loved our day here. Got a golf cart in the port and drove here to spend the day. Delicious food and drinks. Awesome service. Bathrooms available for use. We had a great time just relaxing. They were hard at work clearing the sargassum that just kept rolling in all day so we could have a clear entrance to the water when we wanted to go in. ”
