How beach clubs in Playa del Carmen work
Most beach clubs in Playa have free entry with a minimum consumption (consumo minimo). You take a lounger or a bed, order food and drinks, and the club deducts the total from your minimum. Some premium clubs charge a day pass on top, usually $40 to $80, which includes a beach bed, towel and welcome drink.
Expect to pay $30 to $60 per person for a full day (lunch plus 2 drinks plus tip).
