Super relaxing, great service, food, and location. We took a morning yoga class as well, which was very pleasant. All the staff were super kind and made our stay feel really special. We had a jungle casita with a rooftop pool. The rooftop pool was a great decision, I was in it every morning and night while we were there. We were nested slightly in the jungle, a perfect distance away from the beach. The water pressure in the open shower was so perfect. It is hard to describe how great the water pressure was. There is not a coffee maker in the room full disclosure. It didn’t matter during my trip because I wanted a cappuccino every morning anyway. I enjoyed the short jungle stroll to the on-site café before my morning splash. I really loved this trip, it was wonderful and I would easily book this room again. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1f43f9a7-66ce-4da4-b021-ac96bd042d49-1758741522054.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Sophia Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Shammi Mar 5, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great for couples and the staff are nice. ##### Shammi Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anna Nov 19, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Best place to stay to attend Full Moon Party.

Drinks were expensive. ##### Jonathan Stayed 1 night in Feb 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Myra Aug 9, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities 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! ##### Myra Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### David Feb 8, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service Absolutely horrendous customer service. We’ve been loyal guests for years, spent absurd amounts of money, and were improperly charged for a “late check out fee” despite being at desk at requested time, and they refused to provide explanation nor any receipt/documentation. High turnover rate with staff (everyone friendly has left) and we will never come back. Most unprofessional customer service and check-out experience. Still owed thousands in refunds for “up-charges” and no one there will do anything. Safe location but all other features that made PPP great in the past are now a distant memory. Will consider legal recourse. ##### David Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Nir Jan 13, 2026 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service Service was horrible ##### Nir Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2026 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Nazifa Dec 30, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Awful service.
