About Papaya Playa Project, Tulum, a Member of Design Hotels
Papaya Playa Project sits right on the sand along Carretera Tulum Boca Paila, and its beachfront setting shapes the stay. Days can start with a walk to the private beach area, where sun loungers, sun umbrellas and outdoor furniture are set out for lazy hours by the sea. If you would rather stay close to your own space, many accommodations have a private pool and a terrace or deck, and the property also has an outdoor swimming pool, a sun terrace, a solarium and gardens.
The resort suits travelers who want something livelier than a quiet hideaway. Evening entertainment, live music and performances, and a nightclub with DJs give the property a social pulse. Weekend guests receive free admission to Saturday's celebrations. Between events there is room for slower pursuits: yoga classes, massage services and a spa and wellness center for unwinding. Temporary art galleries and a tour or class on local culture add a creative layer, and bike tours let you see more of the area. The tour desk can help you plan outings.
Food and drink are handled on site. The property has a restaurant, a bar and a coffee shop, and room service is available if you want to stay in. Breakfast can be delivered to your room, and wine and champagne are on offer for a celebratory evening.
The accommodations range from casitas with ocean, jungle or rooftop pool settings to large multi-bedroom casas. Casa Arena, Casa Palma, Casa Coco, Casa Viento and Casa Palapa have a living room, a private pool, and a chef among their amenities, which makes them a natural fit for families or groups traveling together. Family rooms are available, and there is a children's playground. Free WiFi and free parking come with your stay, and the 24-hour front desk, concierge service and airport pick-up and drop-off cover practical needs.
BookResorts.com agents are on the phone around the clock at 1-888-605-1350 to help you choose a room or arrange multi-room bookings.
