Drinks were expensive. ##### Jonathan Stayed 1 night in Feb 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Myra 9 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities We had a lovely stay at PPP! Despite its reputation for being a party place, it was super peaceful during the week and a great place to recharge. The breakfast was lovely - special shoutout to the breakfast staff who gave especially awesome service! The recent storms clearly did a number on the resort, as there was lots of debris all over and many of the cabanas were under repair. The one drawback of this resort is that the restaurant prices are pretty unreasonable, so ordering a snack or drink on the beach quickly adds up to an astronomical bill. My advice is to go out for dinner in downtown Tulum, bring in your own food and drinks, and enjoy the beautiful beach and pools! ##### Myra Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### David 8 Feb 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service Absolutely horrendous customer service. We’ve been loyal guests for years, spent absurd amounts of money, and were improperly charged for a “late check out fee” despite being at desk at requested time, and they refused to provide explanation nor any receipt/documentation. High turnover rate with staff (everyone friendly has left) and we will never come back. Most unprofessional customer service and check-out experience. Still owed thousands in refunds for “up-charges” and no one there will do anything. Safe location but all other features that made PPP great in the past are now a distant memory. Will consider legal recourse. ##### David Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Leidys 29 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Amazing ##### Leidys Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Henry 23 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Everything was good and beautiful in this place i love it ##### Henry Stayed 12 nights in May 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Ernesto 1 Jun 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Too expensive and poor conditions, the spa , the restaurant ##### Ernesto Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Steve 9 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We enjoyed the place a lot ##### Steve Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Krutarth 4 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Best stay at papaya playa ##### Krutarth Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Roberta 30 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I would definitely stay again ##### Roberta Stayed 1 night in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lydia 16 Apr 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Amazing hotel . ##### Lydia Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Yehor 16 Jan 2023 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Amazing eco hotel!
