Have not stayed in the hotel but recent renovations obvious. Still pretty rustic. Among the most beautiful beaches you are likely to find anywhere. We stay at Dreams Tulum and spend our days here. Sand is nearly the color and consistency of flour or sugar. The water is exactly how it looks in the pictures, just beautiful with a gently sloping beach. We've been coming here since 2004 and never miss a chance to visit. Can't recommend this this little hide-a-way enough, but get there soon as it appears the property is for sale and no doubt some developer will grab it up.

Hola,
Some of you people (that are critisizing) need to go back where you come from or to Cancun the Hotel Zone.
Serious get a life.
Some nice lady just said this is not 4 seasons hotel okey.
You al want a place for 75 bucks but want buttler to be running after you.
We have time share in Rivera Mayan at the most exclusive place yet we always take a week in Tulum.
I have seen othe r parts of Mexico but nothing comes close falks belive me.
Europeans, Canadians are not stupid, they stay a way from Cancun and go to Playa del Carmen, Chatumal
Paraiso is increadible.
The water is the most cristal blue I have seen so far.
Batter that Bahamnas, Hawaii etc.
Send is white which means cold not brown and hot like in Acapulco and West coast.
Its not too comersilized which make a perfect exotic and quiet vacation.
As for the charging for the chair that is not true.
I never got charged for chair they always gave me a hand band for free. The blue bads with cabanas were few bucks but WHO CARE youare on increadible vacation.
I am sure you spent more on pack of cigarrets or taquila.
Take an advice and next time you go there don't expect everything to be perfect just be fortunate enough taht you are one of few fortunate people on earth to seee something so beatiful and magnificent like this.
Buddy, Enjoy it.

We stayed at Paraiso from Feb 27 thru March 3, after shopping around the entire area, and actually staying at another place for a night. I highly recommend it for all the following reasons:
1- set on the most beautiful beach in all of Tulum
2- set back far enough from the beach, restaurant and bar/club that we didn't hear a sound.
3- nice solid construction: no mosquitoes.
4- all very recently renovated: super clean and convenient. Crisp spanking new linens and fresh towels. Super comfortable new mattresses and nice bathrooms.

I was very pleased with it and actually am amazed they charge so little when other places along the same strip without access to such a great beach have the nerve to charge practically twice as much!

I'm confirming It has recently changed hands and been renovated. Great location and great value!

The Hotel had been renovated since it's last owner back on april, 2006... I foud new mattress, nicely painted , cleaned rooms... I staryed there two years ago and I was amazed at the change... The restaurant (Nuddy Beach club) is no longer part of the hotel... so guest have courtasey chairs but not for the beach beds... so expect to pay for the "beach beds"....Paraiso has the most beautifull beach in the area... The staff might seem a bit slow or not helpufull... that is to remaind you that are in mexcio and not in a big city.... so sit...relax...and enjoy.... rember how simple life should be...
