Kool Beach Club - 77710 Playa del Carmen

For about $1200 pesos ($600 pesos per person,) you get a nice spot on the beach and to eat/drink your monies worth. You can rent towels, too, if you need them for an additional cost. You have access to the showers, bathrooms, beach and large pool. You can also rent jet ski’s and ride a banana boat (separate from Kool,) but it was more expensive than I’ve witnessed in other locations. It’s on a public beach and Mamita’s Beach Club is right next door. On the beach, vendors often walk by with fresh mango, coconuts, bracelets and even sombreros. We went twice and enjoyed both visits. The fruit plate wasn’t our favorite (spoiled papaya) but we absolutely loved the pasta, freshly made juices, tacos and papas fritas. The service was also awesome - ask for Alberto!

Food was good. All our frozen drinks seemed to have bits of sand or something on the bottom of the cups? So you would get granules in your mouth with every sip. Birds & bird excrement are a bit of an issue with all the food. Played good music and good atmosphere.

Very underwhelming beach club. We paid for the loungers closest to the water so that we would have a clear view of the ocean, turns out there was still another row in front of us which I found weird at first, and after just 1 hour of clear view we had a whole two families sitting in front of us blocking the view. There are only two seats as seen in the photo and yet these families occupy the whole space around the seats and they’re so close to us and blocking the view and making noise that the experience was very different than what we had imagined. The server Usmeldy was very good and attentive, however the drinks were all served in plastic cups with a weird unnatural aftertaste.

Dec 22 2021. Great service and fast also. Group of 3 people. 850 min per person today. Not bad. Stayed for 4 hours ordered 3 drinks and two entrees throughout personally and hit the minimum. Payed about 1200 with tip total. It was chill the day I came. Also liked the music (modern popular music) not some techno. Food was good. The aguachile was awesome. Good shrimp cocktail. Drinks were yummy but the shrimp tacos were just okay. Alsome pictures of the menu right now

A really great "no bait and switch" beach club that I highly recommend and have been to multiple times with the same consistent experience. It is ~$45 per person which includes a ~$45 food and drink credit (menu prices are quite fair), lounge chair, and umbrella. Great service that is very attentive and will notify you when you surpass your credit. Good music mix and live bands some days. If you want to have a guaranteed good time with no stress, this is a fantastic option. Some other clubs for comparison of why Kool is such a good value: Mandarino's charges 300 for the lounge chair, does not include an umbrella, and requires an additional 300 spend. Martina's asked for 1200 per person, then dropped it to 1k per person before trying to add back a 150 person fee because we were not staying at the property. They also had security checking every bag which was overly invasive to make sure you brought no outside food and drink. It showed a lack of respect for guests.

We spent a full day at this beach club and really enjoyed it. The staff are very friendly and super attentive - our drinks never ran empty. The atmosphere is fun with good music and the prices are reasonable for a beach club. It was about $40 CAD per person but you can use that full amount as a credit for drinks (and maybe food?). $40 per person all toward drinks makes for a very good day on the beach. We will definitely be going back here next time we are in Playa del Carmen and recommend anyone visiting to check this place out.

Very chill, laid back vibe beach club and not the usual party crowd. The entrance fee of 750 pesos covers the bed and umbrella and will go as a credit towards your food and drinks. You can also rent a towel for 200 and get it back when you return it. Pro: Very chill and relaxing, no loud music. The beds are very well maintained. Location of the beach is also good. Cons: Service is very slow. The food is just average. The drinks are not premium. I was seated on the front row but that turned out be the worst since the crowds and sellers are not letting you relax. If you want to relax and not to listen to the techno music and don't care about food then this is the place for you.

It's a nice beach club. Friendly service. The music is at a reasonable volume. It's $750 pesos per person for a bed. All the money goes towards consumption so it's a little better than the alternatives. The food/drink prices seem decent, no more expensive than the other restaurants nearby. The food is alright, I would definitely come back.
