Magical Beach Dinners

“Dining on the beach at Papaya Playa was nothing short of enchanting. The atmosphere was perfectly set with beautiful views of the ocean, and the food was really good. I indulged in a gigantic ribeye that was absolutely epic. The menu was a mix of gourmet dishes made from local produce, yet they also offered a fantastic burger, showcasing their versatility. Each evening, the beach transformed into a magical dining experience, and I couldn’t help but savor every moment.” view full review

Very nice Yoga Sessions

“My free yoga session with Jenn was hands down the best class I've ever experienced. She guided us through beautiful poses that left me feeling rejuvenated. Practicing yoga in such a serene environment truly amplified the relaxation factor. I felt a deep connection with nature and left the class feeling deeply centered and grateful for the experience.” view full review

Cozy Jungle Cabana

“During my stay, I got to experience the jungle cabana, which was a unique retreat. It was charmingly designed with a rustic vibe that truly immersed me in the natural surroundings. I've got to say, the ambiance of the space was good, allowing me to completely unwind and relax. It was equipped with everything I needed for a comfortable stay while keeping that authentic Tulum essence.” view full review

Vibrant Nightlife

“The nightlife at Papaya Playa was an electric experience! I found myself enjoying parties lit by the moonlight, with great music that kept the energy high. The atmosphere was lively, and I truly felt the vibrant spirit of the venue while dancing the night away on the beach. The entire experience was like being part of a beautiful celebration every weekend.” view full review
