    Our all new ceviche, taco and fresh plates bar is an original concept by chef Daniel Reyes Enriquez. The just created menu honors Mexico’s two peninsulas. The Yucatan, with one of a kind citrus fruits, like lima, sour orange, or cagel orange, fresh local herbs and condiments and, of course, its exquisite seafood that merges in a culinary dance with the cold water fare from the other peninsula, Baja California, celebrated for seafood with complex texture and full flavors. Our mixology blends local herbs, fruits and infusions to create a collection of enticing cocktails, inspired in our land, our sea and our creative project. Customized menus available for your party.

    This place is BORING!!! No music during lunch, they turned people away as if they were packed but it was pretty empty. Too overrated and wouldn’t go back.

    It’s worth it just for the beach bed and pool. The beach wasn’t really accessible because of the sargassum (we went in may,) but the amenities make up for it. The food was okay. Drinks did not seem to have much liquor in them. Go for the amenities and service, but not necessarily the food.

    I loved the vibe at PPP. The beds were super comfy and the food was amazing! I loved that it was quiet and right beside the kitesurfing spot. Only 75 dollars per person which is great value compared to other beach clubs that charge minimum 100 USD a day or more.

    Took a $20usd taxi to arrive to be told that the cabanas that I had booked were full. The booking was to include beach, pool, towel and cabana. The host shrugged and left us at the bar area. We sat down for a beer, took 15mins to be served. Ruined my partner's birthday. What was worse is that we booked this 3 days ago and were asked to confirm the day before, which we did. Wouldn't recommend visiting here in the day. Others had the same disappointment.

    I don’t have enough good things to say about PPP. This is by far the best beach club in Tulum and we ended up coming here 3 days in a row. Staff is super friendly and accommodating- particularly loved meeting Bea, Naomi and Arlette. Our servers Jesus and Severo were awesome as well! Non-residents can access beach club with $75 min spend. 10/10 recommend

    There was a lot of confusion regarding the bill and when we were nicely just asking for the breakdown and said no offence to the waiter we just want to understand our bill he got rude and walked away while grumbling under his breath. For someone paying $$$ I would expect better service / staff behavious.

    We were visiting Tulum celebrating my husband’s birthday and chose Papaya Playa because of online reviews. We are so happy that we visited and enjoyed our experience so much that we visited twice during our stay. The vibe was amazing and the staff was accommodating. Our server Severo was amazing and made our time at the club so enjoyable. He was attentive and gave great suggestions. We love the size of the beds and bean bag options which was more than enough room for our party of four. The price per person minimum was reasonable and the drinks and food were delicious. We cannot wait to return again!

    Abraham was a great server. The drinks and food were mediocre as it’s is across Tulum. Beaches and water were full of sea grass. If your going to visit Tulum make sure it’s before the Summer months.

    The only thing they are focused is that you spend the minimum consumption. On the menu it says 12-6pm but the waiter comes at 4 pm and asks if you have any last order because the beach closes at 5 pm. I was not hungry at that moment but the waiter was pushing me to spend some more money... then why in the menu it says until 6pm?? Very terrible experience. They even hardly speak English....
