Centro Cultural Chan Santa Cruz Tours and Activities

This Hotel is inside of Papaya Playa Project. So you get acess to all the PPP Beach Club and Sat Night Party! which is actually really nice. But I will say that beach club is expensive so if you want a place with a bar where drinks are not $20+ dollars. I would book somewhere else. However if your down to stay in a small room to have access to a top tier beach club and thats your vibe then this is perfect for you. I think staying here for a weekend and going to the Big party is a wonderful deal and as a solo traveler I had a blast.

Perfect view.Delightful staff.

I did hours of research wanting something chill, safe, beachfront, and actually giving jungle vibes. Delek nailed it. A few days before our trip they emailed saying the pool would be closed, so yes, I pulled a small Karen and asked for a discount. They offered breakfast and restaurant credit which we took! When we arrived, we instantly forgot about the pool. The staff is unbelievably kind.. welcome drinks, a full tour, and the whole property is gorgeous. It’s right in the hotel zone but surprisingly quiet. People in other reviews acting like the beach club bass kept them up must have superhuman hearing, because we slept like babies. Our room was spotless, cozy, and had a partial ocean view. Beach club seating is guaranteed for guests (huge win). The pool actually reopened halfway through our stay, but honestly we barely used it because the ocean was warm, clear, and perfect. The restaurant food.. incredible! Easily the best we had in the area. And the free breakfast? FULL meals. Chilaquiles, pancakes, chicken sandwiches, green juice… American hotel breakfast could never. Service is next-level. They give you a WhatsApp number and whatever you need shows up in two minutes. Ice, towels, scooters.. anything. Every single staff member was amazing. Special shoutout to Steph, who clearly keeps the place running with good energy. We stayed Monday–Friday and were genuinely sad to leave. Zero complaints, all compliments. WILL be back soon!
