We had an incredible stay at Papaya Playa! All of the staff were friendly and helpful and accessible whenever we needed anything or had any questions and provided a lot of good recommendations to us. It was easy to be able to chat via WhatsApp’s with the front desk for questions and to arrange whatever we needed. The hotel was able to arrange scooter and bike rentals and the hotel is right at the start of the hotel zone so Tulum Road was very accessible. Our casita was beautiful and clean and well maintained and we loved having our own private pool with ocean views. The party on Saturday was one of our favorite things we got to experience and it was nice having it be so accessible. The restaurant had amazing food and we looked forward to having breakfast every day! The included breakfast had several good options to choose from and the food was always so fresh and delicious. The only downside was the seaweed season and not being able to thoroughly enjoy the beach, which was happening at most hotels and areas along the hotel zone and you could tell the hotel still tried to make the most of it not being as appealing. We definitely want to come back to Papaya during the busier season when the water is clear and we can thoroughly enjoy the beach club amenities. Overall was a great stay and enjoyable experience, would definitely recommend this hotel to make your time in Tulum unforgettable.

Absolutely horrendous customer service. We’ve been loyal guests for years, spent absurd amounts of money, and were improperly charged for a “late check out fee” despite being at desk at requested time, and they refused to provide explanation nor any receipt/documentation. High turnover rate with staff (everyone friendly has left) and we will never come back. Most unprofessional customer service and check-out experience. Still owed thousands in refunds for “up-charges” and no one there will do anything. Safe location but all other features that made PPP great in the past are now a distant memory. Will consider legal recourse.

Best place to stay to attend Full Moon Party. Entrance for the guests is complimentary. The beach is beautiful. The courtyard is dreamy.

Didn’t change the towels and clean the rooms, even when we asked. Food and drinks cost you an arm and a leg! Like 16 CAD for a bottle of water and 36 CAD for a shot of regular tequila. Our room that we booked was not available! They “did us a favour” and put 6 of us in a 3-room “villa” and charged us 200 USD extra! The “lobby” is an open air area and super hot and humid. In general I found Tulum as an unreasonably expensive and reap off place! Guys think it’s Ibiza or something. And you have to be very careful, they just charge for every single stupid thing. And many times double and triple if you don’t notice.

We had a lovely stay at PPP! Despite its reputation for being a party place, it was super peaceful during the week and a great place to recharge. The breakfast was lovely - special shoutout to the breakfast staff who gave especially awesome service! The recent storms clearly did a number on the resort, as there was lots of debris all over and many of the cabanas were under repair. The one drawback of this resort is that the restaurant prices are pretty unreasonable, so ordering a snack or drink on the beach quickly adds up to an astronomical bill. My advice is to go out for dinner in downtown Tulum, bring in your own food and drinks, and enjoy the beautiful beach and pools!
