"There are several villas here that are great for families, each with multiple bedrooms, a pool, and a private walkway to the beach. Like most hotels in Tulum, the beach here is the star attraction."

"In Tulum, Papaya Playa Project is achingly cool with thatched villas, a beach club packed with digital nomads by day and stylish clubbers at night, and a robust calendar of wellness events"

The staff are known for their thoughtful attention to guests, and the small size of the hotel—just five rooms—ensures they are never overwhelmed by guests' requests or needs.

Free breakfast is served at a communal picnic table, but other than the occasional lunch (requested in advance), guest have to venture farther down the Hotel Zone for meals, drinks, or any other attractions.

"Family-run boutique stay Casa de las Olas is a 40-year-old traditional villa with serious sustainability cred. This boho stay is just at the end of Tulum’s strip."
