Default Need a good beach club in tulum

Hello, I am new here. My wife and I are staying at the Jungla caribe in PDC in mid April and we want to go to a good beach club in Tulum for a day of sun. Any suggestions? Also how much can we expect to pay for beach chairs at Mamitas ? US dollars. Thank You.

El Paraiso would be my choice also. We live here in Playa and that's always where we go when we go to Tulum.

Mamitas charges $2 per chair and per palapa umbrella. Next door at Kool Beach Club the cheapest chairs are $4 each but the umbrella is free. Both places offer sunbeds. Mamitas is a little bigger, has a better stretch of beach (IOHO) and is cheaper. Kool offers a much, much better restaurant (both in terms of setting and menu) and a small pool. In high season chairs in both places are taken early so plan on getting a chair by 9:00 am.

So is Kool, and Mamitas right next to each other? I walked the beach from Playa Maya to Shagri la caribe. Are they in between that?

Also, is there a time limit on how long you can stay? Can i bring my own cooler of beer?

Nope, once you've paid for your bed or lounger, you can stay all day!

They will NOT let you bring your own cooler of beer and let you hang out on their lounger in their club space. You are welcome to bring your own cooler and plop on the beach on front of the first row of loungers though. Kelli and I keep a big fat cooler in the condo we use for our beach excursions. Especially to that $50 secret beach!

I am guessing that the beach is public property right...so the only fees apply when renting a chair, umbrella, etc?

That's correct.

And not all places charge that...if you go further south on the beach in Playa to, say, El Pirata, you get your chair free as long as you are ordering food or drinks from them.

El Paraiso - you're so close to the waves you can sniff the salt.
