Very nice Oceanview Casita

“My wife and I stayed in an Oceanview Casita with a rooftop pool, and it was simply amazing. The blend of nature and comfort made our honeymoon lovely. The room was consistently refreshed, the air conditioning worked perfectly, and we enjoyed a cozy king-sized bed. The views were nothing short of lovely, making it the ideal spot to unwind.” view full review

Delicious Dining Experiences

“The food at Papaya Playa Project exceeded our expectations. With fresh ingredients and a robust menu, every meal was a joy. We especially loved the cevicheria for a light lunch. The complimentary breakfast included healthy and delicious options that fueled our days wonderfully. A must-try is the craft coffee from the amazing coffee shop on-site; it made our mornings vibrant!” view full review

Rejuvenating Yoga & Pool Relaxation

“The on-site yoga sessions were a highlight of my stay. Practicing yoga with the ocean view was both calming and refreshing. Additionally, the serene infinity pool provided just the right atmosphere for relaxation after a day at the beach. Whether enjoying a quiet morning or socializing on weekends, the ambiance was consistently perfect.” view full review

Vibrant Beach Club Atmosphere

“One of the best experiences was the Saturday night beach club events. With renowned DJs performing under the stars, the energy was electric and created an lovely atmosphere. The combination of great music, good food, and a lively crowd made for the perfect night out. Loading my wristband for easy payment added a convenient touch to the vibrant events.” view full review
