My wife and I walked out of room for breakfast. Another couple was walking in front of us. He turned around angrily and said a very threatening statement to me. Don’t know why but he hates American. He continued to give me angry looks during breakfast. Never saw before and never talked to him. At that point, we went to the manager and wanted to leave and go to another hotel. They wanted to talk to him. Knowing my life felt threatened, and you never know how people react, I just wanted to leave and get my money back for the remaining days. The manager refused. We left anyway.

This Hotel has problems with water, wifi never worked in the room. This property has just one restaurant and the menu is very limited and they close at 7pm everyday. If you want to have dinner or something to drink after that hour you have to go out. One day they did not have any fish. The bar is very limited with alcohol. I do not recommend this hotel and and won’t come back.

I had a nice stay at La Palapa. The food here is delicious! I was pleasantly surprised. The drinks were yummy as well. I loved how close it was to all the restaurants/bars and the town center. Very convenient. They didn’t have as much shade as I’d like. You need to be up extra early to grab lounge chairs with tiki coverage. Aside from that, great place to stay! Thanks to everyone at La Palapa!

We spent three nights at Beachfront Hotel La Palapa, and had a great experience there. Our third-floor room boasted a breathtaking ocean view, and its proximity to the main beach, sandbar, and beach bars made it an ideal location. The hotel's walkable distance to the town's main streets, lined with restaurants, bars, and shops was also great. Although we were hit by a tropical storm during our stay, which caused flooding on the streets, we still managed to explore the area with ease even though we had to navigate through puddles and flooded streets (I would advise bringing rain boots if rain is forecasted during your stay). Our room was cozy and comfortable, making it a perfect retreat from the rainstorms. We enjoyed spending time indoors waiting out the storms, relaxing with the air conditioning, TV, and ocean view. Additionally, our stay included a hot, made-to-order breakfast that was simply delicious. We would highly recommend Beachfront Hotel La Palapa and look forward to returning there if we're ever in Holbox again.

It’s conveniently located on the beach, but there are many other hotels that are located on the beach. It’s clean and the staff is pleasant. Free breakfast is a big plus, since it’s really good. We were surprised that the room we were initially given had no AC and no balcony. The staff graciously agreed to transfer us to the second floor to the room that had a balcony and AC. Just prepared to see the substandard aspects of it: chipped counters, broken stair treads, etc., Overall it was an ok stay

Bad taxi
I booked a shuttle through the hotel. When I got to the meeting spot there was nobody there. I tried calling the hotel and no answer. They told me that the driver contacted me through WhatsApp! They never told me that is the way they would need to contact me! I got another taxi and when I got to the hotel they informed me that I needed to pay for the other taxi. I paid $400 to get to the hotel. The manager talked to me like a little kid and when I refused to pay another co-worker jumped into the conversation and then the maid jumped into the conversation to get the money! I finally said if I don't have to talk to you anymore I will give you the money! They were satisfied and went back to puffing on their vaporizer cigarettes!!! Don't get a shuttle with them! I cancelled my taxi back to the airport and got a shuttle back which was way cheaper! Other than that the hotel was great and wait staff at the restaurant was very professional and friendly!!!

We really enjoyed our first visit with this hotel a couple years ago that we decided to book again for our 2024 trip. (Unfortunately this second time was not up to par and left us feeling very disappointed). Our main concern during our whole stay was the smell of smoke that would fill up our entire room every night from 9pm to late 4am. We mentioned this issue to the front desk on our second night and thought it was someone’s cigarette smoking, but turns out -it’s somewhere outside the neighboring hotel. Sadly we had to endure this smoke inhalation for 6 days.

Visited La Palapa with my boyfriend for 2 days and we had the most amazing and relaxing time. We highly recommend! The breakfast was delicious, staff was friendly and accommodating, the room was clean, fresh, and had an amazing view! The ocean was beautiful and clean! The hotel was at walking distance to restaurants and little shops for souvenirs. We absolutely will come back!

Great location
The service at this hotel was excellent! They were extremely nice and helpful. Breakfast was delicious. The hotel’s location was perfect for us as it was close to restaurants. The beach was lovely. It is in town so there maybe some noise from other establishments but it didn’t bother us. Air conditioning may not be enough in the hotter months. Beds were comfortable.
