SpainFood here was incredible. We truly had a magical stay! It’s at the top end of our budget but you do get what you pay for. We had such an amazing tasting experience in the new restaurant and the sommelier was so helpful. We loved the quiet pool - and the option of being at either!

United KingdomPapaya was located in a great area walking distance to a busy part of Tulum. Since the beginning, the hotel staff were very kind and happy to have us. We met with Javi (staff) and he was able to give us a great tour of the hotel and also of their great restaurants and beach clubs. Additionally, explained all the upcoming events for their guests which is a huge plus. We were able to be in close contact with staff at all times and had a great 2 day stay.

United KingdomThis place is amazing !! We had such a great time!The hotel, the room and the beach club, were incredible! And the work they did on the decoration is really beautiful and so cosy. Such a relaxing place to stay as a couple! We ate many times in the restaurant because the food was so amazing, specially the breakfast! For us definitely the best in town! Try the avocado toast or the special French toast with the local honey! Little tips, take your breakfast in front of the beach on a sun bed :) Thanks to all the staff! Everybody was so nice and attentive to our need. A big big and special THANKS to Sofie, Damian, Kiki and Charlie for making our stay so perfect and unforgettable!
