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

We would have never found this hidden gem without you! After spending 3 nights at a rugged beach-front casita in Tulum it was so nice to arrive at the Paamul Hotel and have a bottle of cabernet wine waitng for us. Add to that air conditioning, a blow dryer, television, fridge and comfy beds and we were in heaven.The rooms... More

I sincerely hope this place doesn't get too popular. We stayed here for two nights, then left for Playa Del Carmen for three nights, then returned to Paa Mul for another two nights. We stayed twice in one week, is what I'm getting at. As you drive into the Paa Mul area from the highway towards the water, it's clear... More

I recently took a vacation, alone!! No kids, no hubby, just me. I booked a room in Paamul, and have stayed here before but it was long ago before they built the new hotel. I love Paamul! I did my open water certification with Scuba Mex in 1997 and the dives were amazing. On my last trip, the whole "scheme"... More
