    Everything here was amazing! I called for a reservation and they let me know the beach was being cleared of seaweed and day beds were open! It was such a vibe for a relaxing place, one end was anyway and I think a party and vendors were on the other. Anyway, the drinks were amazing, the staff was nice and they helped us with a cab back to to our hotel. We maybe spent $65 USD here and it was worth every penny.

    We arrived at 10:30am and were greeted by the entire team. We were able to select our own palapa with a queen bed and loungers for sunning on the beach. Although the seaweed was prominent, the beach club cleaned and cleared the beach throughout our stay. We were there for about 5 hours and had a wonderful time. The soft shell crab tacos and the catch of the day tacos (red snapper) were all delicious! The guacamole was the most luxed up guac I’ve ever had! The michelades we ordered were awesome and the server suggested to have them with Victoria beer… Juan was 100% right! All and all worth the $80 food and beverage spend to have a front row experience of the Caribbean Sea!

    Lovely experience! Such a beautiful property, and a beautiful beach. Service was amazing, food was delicious, good drink selection. The beach loungers / cabanas were wonderful, and it was great to have a comfortable shady spot available to post up all day. My only complaint is the prices. Minimum spend of 1000mx pesos was fine and easily spent throughout the day, however menu prices were astronomical. Hard to spend $17cad on a single corona! Regardless, we had a wonderful time and would go back as the prices were worth the experience.

    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.

    You have to pay $150 which includes 6 drinks for two people. It was a good experience. The beach was full of algae though, I didn’t like that. Overall it was good.

    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.
