I loved La Palapa. The staff the cleanliness - the location is ideal! The maintenance staff keep it so clean. Raking the sand, wiping the wood down (polishing!) everything is immaculate. I loved my 10 days there and would not hesitate to book again. What a little gem. Intimate and picturesque.

We were on the second floor and the room had an amazing ocean/beach view. We had the far left room facing the ocean. The bottom floor would not be to bad but you lose some privacy on your balcony during the day. The place was a small boutique hotel so it felt comfortable and never crowded. The staff was friendly and very attentive to its guest. The daily free breakfast had your choice of I believe 6-8 items, which included juice and coffee. Choices were a full normal style breakfast (eggs, meat choice, bread), several different omelets, or chilaquiles (which was the bomb) and you ate breakfast on the beach. Could not beat the location. Perfect walking distance to the town center and easily accessible to walking the coastline.

Make sure you prepay your room or the Hotel will rip you off with a bad exchange rate. Also, don't book the cheapest room as it is located halfway up a narrow steep staircase adjacent to the street. The room was clean and did have a safe and fridge which was handy. The staff were mostly pleasant but not to everyone. The breakfast was nice as it was included and the food and coffee were a good way to start each day. Unfortunately, the beach was covered in sargassum, (stinky black seaweed) so we ended up hiking away most days to another part of the beautiful beach.

We really enjoyed our stay here. It is obvious that this property is loved based on how it is cared for. The staff was amazing, especially Brian, who set up a nice surprise for my wife on her birthday--we didn't request it, he just saw her birthdate on her passport! The views are amazing, and the beach club was peaceful and gorgeous. It was very nice to be close to everything downtown, and while there was some audible sound from bars, etc. it was totally fine for us. For people who want a silent experience, I suggest visiting a different country where music is not such a big part of the culture. The breakfast and beach club menus were workable, but could use some more vegetarian and vegan dishes, or a willingness to modify things. There does seem to be some discrepancy in cleanliness depending on the room/floor you are on. Our cleaning crew was amazing, but our friend who stayed in a different room type/floor had a much different experience here, unfortunately.
