Afar Magazine "Papaya Playa Project, in keeping with its natural surroundings, is low-key and laid-back." Full review
Jetsetter "Design Hotel’s breezy collection of beachside thatch-roofed cabanas in the heart of rustic-chic Tulum." Full review
Travel + Leisure "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." Full review
The Telegraph8.0
"Stylish, sustainable palapa huts on a seemingly deserted stretch of white-sand Caribbean coastline." Full review
Travel + Leisure "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"
Michelin Guide "Something of a throwback to the days when Tulum hadn’t yet filled up with luxury boutique hotels, the ultra-bohemian, ultra-sustainable Papaya Playa Project is nothing if not unique" Full review
