Papaya Playa Project
Km 4.5 Carretera Tulum Boca Paila, 77780 Tulum, Mexico – Great location - show map
I liked the atmosphere and enjoyed my stay. Beachfront room plays a big role it! Having a private hammock in front of the room and being few steps away from ocean-view pool was an amazing experience! I read in reviews that food was expensive. I will call it pricey but totally normal for Tulum beach. I would add that food was very tasty. Fish and chips, octopus and french toast👌 I also read about scorpions in the room but haven’t seen even a bug. They also host a party on Saturdays. It’s a must see in Tulum.

loved that the property was very authentic, I felt like I was sleeping in the jungle. The staff were very helpful and welcoming. Breakfast was amazing with a view.

- not your typical Mexico resort. Doesn’t feel like a fast paced, Americanized party resort. - located in a jungle surrounded by nature - individual “casa’s” ranging in sizes that were well air conditioned despite the straw roofs. - good food - friendly staff, never felt pressured to tip - direct communication with staff via WhatsApp which was very convenient. ie: ready for a room cleaning? just let them know so you won’t be bothered by knocking when you want to sleep in. - loved all the art installations: everything on the resort reminded me of Burning Man

The entire place is beautiful the food the drinks the service phenomenal. Our server Alberto was phenomenal going above and beyond to provide amazing service.

I love PPP for its concept and originality. Cabins, casitas, villas are built inside the jungle. Staying at one of them is one-of-the-kind experience. WiFi is surprisingly available all over the property, even at the beach front. I enjoyed many activities including hiking the walking path from one end to the other, and daily yoga, which is located right at the ocean front. My favorite PPP moment was eating breakfast in the early morning while watching the soft sunrise lights up the beach club area. The picture from this scenery is lovely.

highly conscious of protecting the environment. helpful staff.

The hotel is lovely, the staff goes beyond to make you feel welcome. French toast for breakfast is a must. Lunch and dinner food is delicious.

The people were very nice. The concierge gal was very helpful. The room, pool on the rooftop, food, beach club and service was amazing.

Food options amazing, very great staff. Food, drinks, beach, privacy, art and location best in Tulum. Better than azulik because it has a private beach! Our host Javier was amazing and very nice always ready to help and recommendations. Even responded instantly when we needed something at midnight! Great stay thank you. Will return.

Papaya Playa project was the quintessential location to remove yourself from the world and to "get away". The customer service was exceptional, they were overly friendly, made sure we were taken care of, and even assisted in booking/finding local activities to do. HUGE shout-out to Javier, for helping book the Cenote tours, suggesting the local bar/restaurant, and enrolling us in the breathe-work yoga experience.
