My wife and I brought our two-year-old down to Tulum to just find some tranquility on the beach and pretty much found it here. It has a very nice spread of beach and the cabanas are simple but fairly priced. We weren't looking for any special services or amenities, just a cool, unpretentious place to stay and relax and we... more

I'm usually very laid back & tolerant but I've gotta weigh in on this place. My wife & I checked in Mar 10/2007 with no prior reservations as we were "wingin' it" - not a good idea along Tulum's beaches. After some tedious negotiations with the front desk, we moved into a cabana with a bathroom. No hot water in... more

After having arrived after booking a Cabana with a bathroom, they had none and we stupidly agreed to accept a cabana without a bathroom and have a free dinner to compensate. We were taken to our cabana and were speechless over how rank it was. The webiste makes the place look clean and classy. The cabana had 2 beds with... more

My boyfriend and I recently stayed at Papaya Playa in Tulum. We paid $30 for a private, concrete floor bungalow with shared bath/shower (note: in order to make a reservation online, Papaya Playa requires full payment in advance). The room was spartan, with just a double bed, mosquito net, small table, and chair. There are no electrical outlets in the... more

Rented a large (3 bed) cabana that was 15 steps from the beach. It was as clean as I'd expect given its location and doors that opened practically on to the beach. Ate several reasonably priced meals there that we enjoyed (the best food here and in other Tulum spots is fish/ceviche and they don't seem to serve it unless... more

Very dishonest Manager (sergio) and also rude. Dirty rooms and showers. No hot water. Expensive food. Avoid this place if you want to have good time in Maya region. We escaped after one night stay and Manager wanted tyo charge us for extra nights. There are better places and people then Papya and Sergio. more

If you like nature and good attention, this is the place you should go. It is a rustic ecologic tipe hotel, but as I said before it is the paradise. Even when it´s raining. We went in 03/2006 and I recomend you to go here. I will add photos later. more

Well I've just read all the reviews on the place that I'm about to write about & it is good to know that other people are taking time out to say "it's the worst hotel (if you can call it that)" that I have ever stayed in. $90 per night for a room with 3 girls sharing. One of us... more

The place is overpriced for what you get - don't book in advance as you will pay over the odds. They gave us a big discount which makes it worth the money as a budget place to stay in Tulum. The food and service is not good - eat elsewhere!!! Clean bathrooms and a great beach made up for the... more
