GAMPLING XPU HA: the most economical option in Xpuhá beach is this hotel where the luxury lies in its location facing the sea. Like tedigo, in Riviera Maya sleeping on the coast is paid, but I think it is worth pampering sometimes and living experiences by the sea. MEDIUM BUDGET

The coral reef is further away than on beaches like Paamul, Soliman or Akumal, but you can see marine life on occasion. Some blanket to those who seem not to disturb the proximity with the human, approaches the shore. Xpuha is not the best place for snorkeling, but it is fun to wear your mask just in case.

Hello, I hope you can support me with additional information; exactly where is the entrance? Is it signposted? How much do you charge? what includes? Is there parking? the post makes mention of Sundays, can I access any other day? I have been a child for 9 for years, is it a safe beach? Thank you…
Hi Edgar, of course.
The entrance on the road is well signposted, you find it past PuertoAventuras towards Tulum, you will see it. The recovery fee is about 25 pesos per person, there is parking and this beach is open daily. It has restaurant service and it is safe to go with children.
Have a great time, greetings!
Good morning, do you know what is called the "cheapest" hotel that I mention in your article?
Thank you very much,
Manon
Hello Manon, the campsite has bungalows, I think it is the cheapest option, you find it as Glamping XpuHa. I take advantage of updating the info, thanks.
Best regards,
Thank you ! 🙂
Hi Sandra how are you? I ended up with details of the trip. I was updating with the values of xpu ha. The entry lei in trip from the first entry you have 3 accesses, in the first you pay 80 Mexican pesos, 50 in the second and 30 in the third ... did not know that there were so many accesses? which is the 30 that you inform? On the other hand, what is going out from Playa del Carmen to Xpu Ha?
Hello Agustina, how are you?
There are beaches that have several accesses, like Akumal, like Xpu-Há. The one I speak of is 120 pesos, to be returned if you consume that minimum in the restaurant, and it is the entrance to the most attractive big poster, the main one (there is a photo in the article). They are more or less close, others go for example to El Cielo, a very rich restaurant and its hotel. I thought it was updated, it happened to me.
They charge between 20 and 25 pesos from PDC to Xpuhá, I do not remember. Transportation rates went up a little, at 5 pesos or so. They have official rates at the same stop in sight of the client. In Cancun the urban collective of 8 went up to 10, so you do not have to fight around 😉
You already have less, those desires 🙂
The beaches are public, no recovery should be charged, do not be fooled. the beaches belong to everyone.
Totally agree Marco, the beaches are public, but once the law is cheated: to access the beach you are given access through private properties, as there are no public accesses (although they should). And that is what they charge you in some way, access to the beach, in the form of recovery if you go to their restaurant. It is something that you well know happens in much of Quintana Roo, not in Yucatan or Campeche. Several times I fought to go to the beach with security personnel, so we go.
Best regards.
