Everything gets overblown, I am sure they will still have some small low key parties in Tulum that will be more exclusive and "in the know" type events. They just dont want the Maceo Plex's of the world who said fuck you to BPM the last 2 years probably because they wouldnt pay him enough to come down and throw some big event on a Wednesday in Tulum and i dont blame them for that.
As for BPM itself, the daytime events are unmatched, beach setting, good vibe, and great atmosphere. Night parties have gotten real overcrowded the last 2 years. That said the "jungle" parties last year that BPM hosted and put together on their own were standouts, more than enough room for everyone, multiple stages, and almost like a mini festival.
I think buying a wristband has become a waste personally since its gotten so expensive. I've always gone down to BPM for either opening or closing weekend + 1/2 days. Learning from that, I think the best way to do it which I intend to, is go down for the week, pick and choose parties you really want to hit and enjoy the rest of Playa and Tulum for what it has to offer.
