When it comes to eco-resorts, Papaya Playa is rugged to say the least. Some buildings on the property sit abandoned, and plumbing is questionable. The resort hosts loud parties at night, which could be great for some tourists seeking a social scene, but this has earned Papaya Playa a not-so-great reputation among the surrounding hotels. With its on-site yoga classes and kite surfing school, this resort offers many features that are likely to appeal to younger couples seeking adventure, or individuals traveling alone. It is not a fitting suitable for families with children, or those who prefer perfectly pristine accommodations.
