So, here's the thing. Sometimes when we are sitting in traffic or writing a Brief or trying to not be annoyed, we dream about being back at Papaya Playa. Oh those lounge swings on the beach. Oh those happy hour beverages. Oh the outdoor showers. Did I mention that the chairs at the bars are all swings? Papaya Playa is... more

Well, I read all of the horrible reviews and had some trepidation, but upon arriving to Papaya Playa after backpacking through Central America for three months it was seriously above par for ambiance and beauty. We payed about $30 dollars a night for a bungalow right on the beach and the views and surroundings were stunning! Seriously you are not... more

He persistently harrassed us and we also noticed that he was doing the same with other female guests. The beautiful surroundings compensated us to a degree. However, we... more

Here's the skinny on Papaya Playa and the cabana scene in general as we saw it. If you're up for rustic, camping style cabanas with a gorgeous beach and don't want to pay more than $50/night in the high season, then Pplaya is a good place; just remember, you pay for what you get and there are some things you... more

We reserved 5 nights and left after 3 and by the time we left we didn't even care about the money they wouldn't refund. I agree with the others who were disappointed by the cabana's. There was an extention cord fed into the room with a light bulb, no other electricity and only the light for 5 hours. The paths... more
