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.

Bad experience

Had an incident on the check out day, and the hotel staff didnt even try to reach out to make a statement or explanation. Worst than that, they ignored all of our messages and contacts. Too bad, because that turned our stay a terrible Mess! Would never recomend or come back. It is not sorry all the money that we spent!.
