Second beach I visited during my stay in Tulum. It was so much fun! My bestfriends and I got there around 11:30am on a Monday to get into the beach club..two days before it was packed & we weren't allowed in. We were able to get chairs and tables so we could hangout and enjoy the beach club. The food was an 8/10. My fav dish def. had to be their grilled shrimp tacos & passion fruit margaritas were pretty good just needed a bit more tequila. The water and waves were just right and their service was good as well. Many vendors selling beautiful bathing diff styles of bathing suits & cups of mango! We stayed watching the sun go down, it was so beautiful and relaxing!
had a great time at playa paraiso! the guac and chips were so fresh, and this place is definitely a cheaper beach club than the other ones in the area. the beach beds are also so cheap and i rlly enjoyed how comfortable it was. the only thing i didn't really like were the drinks - they're too sweet for my taste
Maybe I came to this place on a bad day. Can't do anything about the seaweed with global warming upon us. But, the service here is awful. They had no WIFI. I had to ask someone for a menu and it felt like I was putting the guy out to get me one. Doesn't this owner want to make money? If so, this should be a much easier process. Once I finally got a menu, there were no cocktails on it, which is what I wanted. Plus, no one ever came back once I asked for a menu. I bought mango from a beach vendor and then left. This kind of thing makes me frustrated from the perspective of a business being run badly. Way to leave lots of on the table.
Beautiful beach in Tulum, we visited 3x while in Tulum last wk. Beach is clean and perfect clear blue water. We rented beach chairs, ordered food and cocktails that were brought out to us. We also got massages done on the beach. Everyone working at Playa Paraiso is friendly, kind and accommodating. Can't wait to come back and visit.
Absolutely stunning. From an information booth at the parking lot to the Mayan ruins, my husband and I purchased a package that included entry to the ruins, and then a boat ride/snorkeling at Playa El Paraiso. From the ruins, we walked to the Playa from the entrance of the Hotel Villa Pescadores, where we also enjoyed lunch in the hotel's outdoor seating area. On a side note, I think this hotel is perfect for those that want a simple, authentic, beach getaway. The property is lined with beachfront bungalow units with straw topped roofs, wood paneling, and wispy white curtains... It's exactly what I would imagine for a paradise beach. We were told the beach is one of the most beautiful in the world and my gosh, the images of the white sand and bright blue waters will forever be etched in my memory. We went on a Tuesday, and it was very quiet with very small amount of people, compared to other local beaches. I recommend this beach as a definite must see if you're coming to the area.
I love this beach so much the water is really clear and turquoise blue. It gets really crowded during this season December- February I've been here during June and there is lots of seaweed and the water looks a little dark but it's a beautiful place to hear the waves crashing and just recharge.
If you're looking for a beach club in the heart of famed Paradise Beach, head over to Playa Paraiso. Located inside Tulum's National Park, there are several beach clubs to choose from in the area but Playa Paraiso is the standout and parking is free. You'll be given a parking validation when you're ready to leave. If you're driving, be aware there is only one street to enter and to exit so during "rush hour" around 4ish and on, traffic is bad. It's not only bumper to bumper but also Extremely tight sideways. The street is narrow with cars coming in and cars exiting in addition to cars parked along the street which make it super tight. Spending a day at Playa Paraiso beach club does not come cheap. WiFi is $20 per person. Don't even bother asking someone for the WiFi code because every person's code is unique and is valid for 8 hours. If you want to lounge here all day, 2 chaise lounge chairs with an umbrella is $400 to rent for the day plus $1,500 minimum spend on food and drinks. 2 beds with an umbrella is $300 to rent plus $2,500 minimum spend on food and drinks. Your drinks and food can easily add up to $1,500 or $2,500 for two because the cost of food and beverage here is above average. The beds and chaise lounge chairs have a lot of cushion and both are comfortable. You're not necessarily coming here for the food (albeit it tastes just fine) but you're here for the gorgeous beach and setting. If you've never been to Tulum, just be aware the currents here are particularity strong year round but the water is Beautiful.
Absolutely beautiful! We had an amazing time relaxing at Playa Paraiso. We ended up renting a bed. Prices here were great as well. We also got a massage on the beach at the booth next to the restaurant. I would definitely recommend getting your massage before going for a swim in the beach! I had sand everywhere during my massage. I guess it was exfoliating? They also have an outdoor shower which came in very useful. We ordered some food for lunch and everything was delicious. I especially enjoyed their watermelon salad!
This was a fun beach with some cool waves. It's the most spoken of beach in Tulum and is worth checking out. It's a better beach for swimming without having to worry about coral and rocks. It's just smooth swimming. As you pass many other beach areas, you would probably know that this is playa paraíso just from the presentation alone; wide, open, and pretty light sand everywhere. We wound up renting a bed on the beach for 200 pesos, which was much cheaper than the other beaches that demanded a minimum consumption of 350 pesos. After telling one of the waiters that we just wanted to be in the sun near the water, I think we might have been able to do that for free, by just putting our stuff in the sand and swimming. Ask first if you can just do that, if you're wanting to just swim. And if you want a drink, then order a drink. Or order one inside and take it outside.
Beautiful beach. Like many spots in Tulum, service was a bit disorganized if you weren't staying at the hotel. My boyfriend and I approached at 3pm from the beach (public access entrance is a bit further north) and asked for two chairs. Within ~10 minutes, an attendant had snagged some chairs for us at 100 pesos a piece and we had a spectacular view of the ocean. The place was a lot busier than Papaya Playa Project, where we hung by the beach two days earlier, but it was also a lot less pretentious (with a better beach). The money got us bar and toilet/shower access. Toilets were pretty clean for a spot this populated. Drinks were cheap ($12 for two margaritas and two bottles of water). Beds were adjustable and very comfy! This place is for you if you don't care about frills. This place is not for you if you want a beach free of families and people selling fruits.

Cheap and relaxing beach club. It was recommended to us by our taxi driver. The beach was beautiful but very crowded. There was a $50 USD for our group to obtain an umbrella with a square bed. We used the credit towards food and it was well worth it. read more

definitely recommend this beach club . went on a sunday afternoon for a few beers after a trip to the ruins . girlfriend and i paid 250pesos for a bed and a table behind it . beers and food were reasonably priced . the nachos were quality enough to eat again . the towels are 100 pesos with a 200 peso deposit to rent . the seaweed situation wasn't that bad and we actually went into the ocean more than a few times . service was good for mexico . music was ok but existed . would recommend this club to a friend . read more

We were looking for a nice beach and this is the perfect spot, by star service. The parking is for free as long as you spend approximately $10 per person at the beach resort whether it be an umbrella, or drink or food service. The waiters are very very helpful and the beach is beautiful and clear, toward the end of the day it started getting a little bit choppy but overall five star review! Next time you are wanting a beautiful beach that is coral reef free come here read more

Stunning beach. It is one of those dream beaches you see in commercials. Beautiful turquoise water and a clean shore line. It's gorgeous and the area around it is heavenly as well. The energy is so pure here. And the establishments are bohemian and laid back. I stayed at playa del Carmen my entire trip and only made the day trip to Tulum on the last day of my trip. But next time I go to Mexico I would love to stay only in Tulum. Playa Paraiso and Tulum really captured my heart. read more

A terrific area with a bit gentler waves than we had further south on the Tulum beach stretch at our hotel. 50 pesos to rent a lounge chair but worth it if you're spending several hours there. Otherwise towels on the sand would be fine. Can see some ruins from the beach at a distance. Plenty of options for snacks and drinks. We didn't pay for the parking out front but probably were supposed to. They caught us on the way out and were nice enough not to make a fuss. I think there is free road parking on the beach side of the road within 100 yards or so. read more
