Great location on beach and action in city
This was a great place, especially for the money. Right in the center of the beach and when you walk outside you are in the middle of all the action as far as walking the city. The bungalows are small but really nice. We had one of the upgraded ground floor rooms first two nights we loved (walls orange in picture). The last night we switched to another room that wasn't upgraded as not available and it was to small, knees pressed against bathroom wall when using the toilet, there was as step down in middle of room somewhat dangerous and removed space from room. The restaurant is very pricey but the food was good, especially the fried red snapper! Two for one drinks all day and nice lounge chair area is a plus. We walked entire beach and if I had to choose again from the beachfront hotels anywhere close to this price range in this prime location this would be the one

Toes in the sand
We loved the hotel. Not fancy but very comfortable. As a small hotel, you feel like part of the family. Rooms are not large but they make a great use of the space available. Our favorite aspect was as soon as you walk off your patio your toes in the sand

From reception to departure, staff goes above and beyond to take care of you. The location cannot be beat. The room was fabulous! The grounds are remarkably clean and constantly maintained. And if you get a chance to treat yourself, get a massage from the ladies that operate on site. Magic hands!

This hotel was ideal for our family. It had everything we needed at a fair price. The staff was friendly and was there for us if we had any questions or needs. It has beautiful grounds and is right next to the beach. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for something practical in a perfect location.

Stayed in Studio 1 & 2. Both are perfect for a beachside getaway. Ronaldo, Carla and everyone are so helpful and friendly. Central to beach, restaurants and shops. Can’t wait to come back.

What an amazing place! Room was perfect, comfortable and clean. Easy access to the beach, restaraunts, and shopping. Wonderful staff, can't say enough good things about our stay. La Palapa is our idea of paradise! Rolando was the absolute best, accomodated everything we needed, arranged all of our excellent experiences on excursions, and had advice for where to go and what to see. He made our stay something special, and we look forward to coming back to visit!!!
