We would love to say we discovered this incredible hidden gem but the truth is Zine Food & Films has been offering services for a couple of years now. The privacy of this jungle cinema is thanks to the location and the efforts of the owner to keep this getaway exclusive. However, in such a little time its popularity has grown among locals and travelers due to the incredible service and unique concept.
To be able to combine the 7th art with exquisite meals and the comfort that privacy offers, is something that keep us loving this place. A wide variety of movies to choose from, an International selective menu of meals and the natural surroundings of the jungle. Zine Food & Films is exactly what Tulum was missing, and now it covers a great need we didn´t even know we had.
The Concept
You arrive to the place and the first thing that greets you is the friendly staff, a warm smile and a cute lounge with wooden chairs and tables. The bar and kitchen are always ready to prepare whatever drink or meal you are craving for. Then the different paths made of crushed stones and surrounded by plants, that will lead you to the private theaters.
When you are getting ready to watch a movie, the most important thing is the food and at Zine Food & Films is no different. Popcorns are just not enough and that´s why they came up with an international menu of options that you can enjoy under a low light. This allows you to focus on the movie and the taste of the meals only.
Private Theaters And Movie Selection
The place features 4 private movie theaters each one with a different capacity. The largest is big enough to fit 12 people seated by 2 in comfortable ground sofas. Two more theaters for 8 people each. And the last one, the most luxurious and private theater with capacity for 4 people and the most cozy beds to enjoy of the movie like you would at home. You can make a Reservation for films that start at 5:00pm or 5:30pm depending on the theater you choose.
