Didn’t change the towels and clean the rooms, even when we asked. Food and drinks cost you an arm and a leg! Like 16 CAD for a bottle of water and 36 CAD for a shot of regular tequila. Our room that we booked was not available! They “did us a favour” and put 6 of us in a 3-room “villa” and charged us 200 USD extra! The “lobby” is an open air area and super hot and humid. In general I found Tulum as an unreasonably expensive and reap off place! Guys think it’s Ibiza or something. And you have to be very careful, they just charge for every single stupid thing. And many times double and triple if you don’t notice.

We had a lovely stay at PPP! Despite its reputation for being a party place, it was super peaceful during the week and a great place to recharge. The breakfast was lovely - special shoutout to the breakfast staff who gave especially awesome service! The recent storms clearly did a number on the resort, as there was lots of debris all over and many of the cabanas were under repair. The one drawback of this resort is that the restaurant prices are pretty unreasonable, so ordering a snack or drink on the beach quickly adds up to an astronomical bill. My advice is to go out for dinner in downtown Tulum, bring in your own food and drinks, and enjoy the beautiful beach and pools!
