I would say the former name, "Cabana Paamul", is probably a more apt description than calling it a hotel. The rooms are open air with individual ac units. Everything is tile--even the bed is elevated on a ceramic/terra cotta pedestal--because when it rains water ends up everywhere, but its no big deal (just don't leave anything on the floor), the...

Paamul has outstanding service and staff. The rooms are spacious and it's conveniently located on Highway 307, south of Playa del Carmen and north of Tulum, making it a great base of operations for the Mayan Riviera area. They have a very good restaurant with delicious offerings and a swimming pool, in addition to a beautiful beach.

We stayed in Paamul for 5 nights and enjoyed all of it. In our opinion, its biggest draw is that it is a quiet place a few feet from the shore. This is not a fancy resort with lots of activities and people. But, it was perfect for what we were looking for: sitting in our porch 10 feet from... More

Sometimes paradise can be easily defined. In Paamul's case, pristine waters and serene views are not the only factors at play. Never have I seen a resort in such close proximity to the curved stretch of lucid Caribbean waters it harbors. I have stayed in hotels and resorts circa Cancun for the last five years, have traveled all around the... More

It's a really great place. Everything was me was perfect. Wonderful view just from my bed, beach, restaurant- very good fresh orange juices. Also the swimming pool was really nice. Lot of security guys so it was safe. I loved that place and hope i will go there one day. The beach was mostly rocky, but for me it wasn't... More

It was a lot better than I expected. The hotel and the cabanas are located on a piece of secluded beach. Some of the suites have a porch a few feet away from the water. The rooms are spacious and updated. Ours had a fridge, coffee maker, microwave and kitchen sink. Wifi is available at no cost. It is a... More

We visited Paamul for the third year in a row late February/early March. We brought another couple with us this time and they fell in love with this place just as we did three years ago. The hotel is small, charming, clean and the views are spectacular. Even thought the hotel itself is small, the rooms are rather large with... More

We own and operate a farm in Oregon, USA. After working hard all summer, our goal for vacation in Mexico is to enjoy the sun/ocean/beach, snorkel, get massages, relax and read. We have stayed in Playa del Carmen as well as all inclusive resort near Playa. The other places we stayed are nice BUT Paamul is the best choice for... More

This lovely new hotel is all about being close to the sea. Enchanting views and every room is just steps from the water. The rooms are very clean, and the view out your window is of the most lovely little cove with many colors of blue/green water. The rooms are a bargain at $100/per night. The restaurant is good for...

This is the kind of place that I would go back, and back, and back and never get tired of it. The owner was more than accommodating and met our every smallest demands. The rooms are spacious with beautiful terraces 100 feet away from the Caribbean. It is small and hopefully it will remain this way. We will come back!!!... More
