Small, prívate, quite place with excellent access to beach. No swimming pool. Small restaurant and bar at the property with excellent menu and service. Very enjoyable. Highly recommend.
You really can't find a much better property location wise... This is right in the center of "town", right on the beach, and right next to plenty of restaurants, bars, and shops.
The property itself is a little older, but timeless and clean. Make sure that you get a room with a window facing the ocean, it was great to fall asleep with the waves crashing against the shore.
The staff was great. They let us hold our bags in their office while we waited for the room to be ready, and you get a welcome drink that is either a fresh daily juice or a Beer...
The restaurant RIGHT next door (away from the beach) has some great Aguachiles, highly recommend.
This is a great beach location convenient to everything. The grounds were impecable with comfortable lounge chairs on the beach and inviting room porches facing the ocean. Very helpful, smart and friendly staff. Comfortable bedding. The rooms could use a dresser, however, there was insufficient options to keep clothes, etc. Stored and organized.

This is a very nice property. It is centrally located. The beach is small and there was a lot of what it seemed to be sea weed . So we were not able to enjoy the private beach. We went to a public one close by and it was pretty nice.
Well kept property. Staff works hard but Know that when you reserve, you must include everyone using room to see actual total cost. Cost for our "room for four" doubled from listed when we checked in with four people. Surrounding properties: vacant lot, motorcycle repair yard, and cul-de-sac by hotel's registration/entrance, all get busy. Not very scenic.
Perfect location on the beach. You can watch pelicans dive bombing for fish all day long. Sunsets are amazing. Included breakfast is very tasty. Staff is friendly and accommodating. There are a couple of good restaurants nearby within easy walking distance.
We did have some confusion around payment. The resort sent us an Expedia message (and email) that said the 1st night would be charged to our credit card. I trusted this was correct but when we arrived we were charged for the 1st night at the check in desk. I used my online banking app to double check that I wasn't being double charged. I wasn't so it all worked out. I recommend the resort take this statement out of their pre check in communication if they are not going to do it.
Other than that it was a wonderful stay.
Nice hotel on the beachfront and well located vis-a-vis rstaurants. Internet service was good. The staff is nice and friendly, in particular in the restaurant. The only negative point I could make is regarding the restaurant which closes around 6 or 6:30 pm, whoch means no possibilities to have dinner.
Hermosa vista de la habitación "superior" (es piso 2 por escalera) Cama king súper confortable. Riquísimos desayunos con vista al mar. Playa del hotel con camastros aunque no es de las mejores. Está muy sujeta a la presencia de sargazo
Staff was great. Restaurant only has about 4 tables. Food was great. Beach area is extremely small. If you’re looking to relax by the beach hope that no one else is there, other wise you’ll have to go someplace else because there’s no space. All beach chairs are made of wood, which makes it very painful after 10 minutes of laying down. Beds are really comfortable. Location is great since it is walking distance to every restaurant. Only about 10-12 minutes walking from the ferry pier, if you do not have big or heavy luggage. Orherwise, you’ll need to take a taxi because the sidewalks are practically nonexistent and make it very hard to walk with luggage.
Love La Palapa, it’s great place to relax, enjoy the beautiful water and sun. The staff was super friendly and check in was easy. The room is perfect, no TV, A/C works awesome and the room has a balcony facing the water. On the balcony you will find a hammock and table perfect for chillin. The beach is a little rough from the shells. The temp of the water is perfect, if you walk off the property you will find tons of options for food and clubs. I would stay here again.
Beachfront view was amazing. It’s close enough to walk to all types of attractions but not too busy. The rooms are nice size, but TV is very small and very dated. Didn’t travel there for the room amenities so it wasn’t a problem, but worth mentioning.
I loved the hotel, the beach and the entire island. We had breakfast every day at the hotel restaurant, which was always delicious! The location is very centric and walkable to nearby stores and restaurants. The staff was always very attentive and helpful.

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.
The property is great! Great staff and service. Main access road is a bit dirty and needs attention. Not hotels fault!!
Easy access to plenty of food options!!
