1. Mamitas Beach Club
Why go: Probably the most famous beach club in Playa del Carmen — lively atmosphere, DJs, pool & beach lounge.

Tip: Arrive early when it’s high season; book ahead. If you want more relaxation vs party, pick a lounge spot rather than right at the pool/entertainment area.

Why go: A party-focused beach club, more youthful crowd vibe.
Pricing: Access to the pool area: ~1200 MXN, refundable as consumption credit. Loungers + umbrella: ~150 MXN + minimum consumption in some cases.

💡 General Tips & Pricing Notes
- Prices vary by season, day of week, and location of beach club (closer to center = higher).
- Many beach clubs work on a minimum spend / consumption credit model: you pay for bed or entry and then spend on food/drink. Some refund unused portion; others only credit.
- Bring your ID and note that many places add service tips (“propina”) automatically.
- Arrive early for better rope of loungers/cabanas, especially in high-season.
- Ask about inclusions: some provide towel, shower access, lockers; others charge extra for those.
- Even though beaches are public, beach clubs offer added amenities and comfort — choose based on what you’re after (party vs chill vs family).
