Just in terms of beaches and beauty, this is well-worth the price of admission all on its own. I have paid two visits to this park and, depending on the season, had two different experiences. One was the aforementioned slice of paradise when the beach was nothing but picture-perfect beauty. The other was during a summer tropical storm where the water was brown from all the kicked up sand, full of seawood and the waves were high and dangerous. Pick the time of year carefully to visit (the fall or early in the winter is better) and you'll be fine.

There's someone doing face jewels as soon as you walk in, not sure how much it was but it looked super pretty. There's a system to get drinks where you reload your wristband with money and they scan it every time you order a drink to deduct each transaction. The only bad thing is that whatever you have left on the bracelet goes to waste because you can't get your money back. Each drink was kinda pricey, between $30-$40. I would suggest pre-gaming before coming or buying a table. The music was good, it was a lot of tiki tiki. There is a beach view from the dance floor. Everyone was very nice, the staff were extremely busy but attended each customer in a timely manner. I ordered an espresso martini, the presentation was great but the taste wasn't as balanced as I preferred. It taste more like tequila rather than coffee. I then switched back to vodka/sodas. I highly recommend you check this spot out for a night of dancing and fun!

If you're staying in Tulum and your hotel or airbnb tragically doesn't have a pool or beach access, consider reservations at Papaya Playa Beach Bar. You can also buy tickets from their website.

Great vibes, food, friendly staff, and child friendly. The space is beautiful and stylish, exactly what you would expect from a nice beach club in Tulum. As you walk through the lobby and restaurant, you pass the gorgeous pool that also has beach club seating options, you then step down onto the beach where there are beach beds on the sand, which is where we sat. The venue has lots of food options to choose from. Each person selects an appetizer, entrée, and unlimited cocktails. While pretty pricey, it's totally worth it. Overall the food was decent, not amazing. But with the fun music blaring from the DJ booth, the gorgeous ocean, and the delicious drinks, I wasn't too concerned that the food wasn't knocking my socks off. I highly recommend this beach club.

Must try: Catch of the Day Ceviche and Balabamba Pizza with a Basil Bala Cocktail!…read more Why: Ceviche was delightful and refreshing mixed with mango, watermelon, onion, radish, mint, and cilantro. The tortilla chips were moon shaped, thicker, and crunchy - great to dip in ceviche for added texture. Balabamba Pizza had lobster on top of charcoal dough with some pesto and truffle. We really enjoyed great flavor mix. I washed it down with a Basil Bala Cocktail, which had bourbon, mixed berries, and sparkling water - refreshing! Notes: We went on a Monday so it was a relaxing chill vibe with awesome music to jam to while sitting in pool or lounging around. Also beach front neat and convenient. Fun cabanas and lounge furniture to relax on. Great service - friendly, helpful, and attentive. There's a 1600 pesos table minimum or 800 per person minimum, which we came for the food, drinks, and good vibes so it was totally worth it. Had a fantastic late lunch while relaxing under the sun, in the pool, with a drink in hand and music to dance to!

This was our very first cenote on this trip. It's 500 pesos for adults and 250 pesos for kids that are less than 4'5" or so. Cash only. (If paying in US dollars, it's $30 US and $15 for children.) Be sure to collect your ticket. There is free parking out front as well. Once you go in, there are outdoor showers that you are expected to use to rinse off. No sunscreen is allowed. And before you get your Personal Flotation Device (PFD), they will check that you have showered. However, no one is actually watching you as you rinse off as some reviews have mentioned. They'll also provide a snorkeling mask too. You'll need to walk down some stairs and there's an option to rent a locker for 30 pesos. Some people left their belongings unattended, but you'll get a key for your locker and they'll hold your ID card until you return the key. It's a small area to snorkel around and you'll see a lot of turtles. There are some darker areas, and a waterproof flashlight would have been very useful during those parts. The water is super clear, so let's keep it that way. There's a large grassy area to dry off and relax. I would suggest bringing some snacks if you want to relax out in the sun because it does get cold in the water after awhile. There are no in and out privileges though. Overall, it's a nice little cenote to visit. I would recommend 1-2 hours depending on how much time you want to swim around. Park hours: 8:10 am to 4:45 pm, last entrance at 4:15 pm.

The beach access below the cliffs is a huge bonus and makes the experience more than just a history stop. Bring water, sunscreen, and patience, but the views alone make it worth it.
