"A Perfect Tulum Stay Thanks to Primo and the Team"

10.0

My husband and I had such a beautiful stay at Papaya Playa Project and wanted to especially thank Primo for making our experience unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, he was incredibly helpful, patient, and genuinely caring. He would sometimes spend close to an hour with us, asking questions about our tastes and interests, then thoughtfully recommending places, restaurants, and experiences that matched our vibe perfectly. His recommendations were always honest and spot on, and you could tell he truly cared about guests having an amazing experience in Tulum. Papaya Playa itself felt magical from day one. We arrived during one of the parties and immediately fell in love with the atmosphere. The decorations, the energy, the music, and the crowd created such a special vibe and started our trip on the perfect note. Our ocean view room was beautiful, and the entire crew was consistently responsive and attentive. Every time we needed something, it was delivered quickly and with kindness. We also really enjoyed breakfast every morning. The staff serving us were always smiling, warm, and welcoming, which made each morning even better. Thank you to Primo and the entire Papaya Playa Project team for creating such a memorable experience for us. We’re leaving with amazing memories and can’t wait to come back

"Stolen money"

2.0

We stayed in papaya 5/15-5/17 and on 5/17 we moved to another hotel for our gender reveal party and photo shoot We had a great experience in papaya till I have to pay our photographer this morning and found out that hundred dollar bills were stolen from my purse for that matter I had $100s, $20’s and $1’ in my purse that was next to our bed and looks like housekeeping took all my hundred dollar bills and left $60 in change Total was around $500 I have to pay for our gender celebration . Shame on that housekeeping who robbed pregnant woman . We never had such a horrible experience at the hotels in Tulum . We contacted receptionist but still waiting on call back to see if they check cameras , Shame on those ppl who did it! Shame!

"Papaya Playa Project"

10.0

Papaya is a very special spiritual place. During the week it’s very calm the yoga was amazing but what made our experience the best was the hospitality we received from the staff ESPECIALLY Primo he made sure my sister and I got to see everything Papaya had to offer and also helped us find transport services and see the best spots in town! Thank you Primo for making mine and my sisters time at papaya so special!

"Avoid / stay at your own risk"

2.0

Avoid this hotel / stay at your own risk. During our family holiday, money went missing from our room and the way the hotel handled it afterwards was extremely disappointing. It took over six weeks and multiple escalations through Marriott to even receive a response. The final response was essentially that they did not believe the theft happened at the hotel. For a Marriott-affiliated luxury property charging over $500 per night, I expected a far more professional and empathetic approach. There was no real sense of investigation or accountability, and the whole experience left a very bad impression. Ive spent a lot of time Marriott hotels over the years, for both pleasure and business, and this is by far the worst response I have received to a serious guest complaint.
