Paamul Hotel & Cabañas

One of the best secrets of the Riviera Maya Paamul ... wonderful staff, amazing service, great food, and maybe the best protected reef beach in the Riviera Maya

Hidden gem near Playa Del Carmen that sits right on the Paamul beach. It is a great place if you're looking for something that is not the typical mega all inclusive resort. It's like a boutique hotel - very small - probably just a couple dozen rooms. All rooms are good sized with a balcony and all have a direct expansive view of the azure ocean. The hotel is very clean. Practical, minimum and comfortable furnishings give it a specially nice touch. There is an attached restaurant that serves breakfast and it is included in the price of the hotel booking. The restaurant has excellent options for lunch and dinner at a really good price - we ate many meals there. The hotel and restaurant staff are super friendly and great at what they do. They have satellite TV that wasn't working when we went - but it's a crime to watch TV in such a beautiful place anyway :-). The WiFi worked great. Tip - The Paamul beach itself is very small, but it is one of the few places on Riviera Maya where you can directly swim to the coral gardens and the reef. One of the best places I've been for snorkeling and paddle boarding. Tip - The pool they have is attached to the restaurant and is small. It can be a place for kids to play or for cooling off. Tip - It's easy to get to from the airport - about 1 hour all on the 307. A rental car is handy because its 20 minutes from Playa which has a variety of dining options and activities. There's free parking.

Such a lovely getaway. The view from our room was stunning. Went swimming, had great food at the restaurant and over all enjoyed our stay so much. I would absolutely return again.

Great place, beautiful people living there, funny pool, i you want you can do camping all services and you can watch turtles carefully. We stay for one night and pay 800 pesos for 3 adults and 2 children in the camping area. We saw people cleaning the beach since 6 am and security 24 hrs. We enjoy our stay so much. Thanks

Some very cool houses there. Hearing about all the Canadian expats i was eager to go since im from Canada. Sure didnt feel welcome by the residents there at all except the local contractor. He took us to look at some of his work and was VERY impressed.
