We picked this place because it looked cute with a boho vibe, and it totally delivered. The atmosphere was cozy and thoughtfully designed, and the staff was genuinely great — friendly, helpful, and welcoming from start to finish. It made the whole stay feel easy and comfortable. Would definitely stay here again.

Liked: Cleanliness
Very lovely staff, great housekeeping, delicious food. The only thing I'd improve is bike rental, bikes are very rusty. Also moldy chairs in dinning room - I understand there is moisture problem at the island so I didn't mind, but could choose different materials that are not as prone to get moldy. This was our 1st stay at Palapas, but we stayed at Paraiso (sister hotel right next to it) two times and would come back again to either of them. Overall absolutely great value for the price!

Room spotless. Mini jacuzzi/pool was a must. Super location. If you want to see the stars in the sky, it is far away from the center of the village and its lights. But close to all the nice beach bars and lounges.

Beautiful hotel with tasteful, updated rooms and gorgeous common areas. The lobby is stunning with a massive open palapa roof and abundant 'boho' style furnishings and natural textile accessories. Make sure to take a look at the black and white photo on the wall of the palapa being constructed, it is impressive! Grounds were meticulously kept and staff were all professional and helpful. The landscaping with tropical plants, ensured that all ground floor rooms had ample privacy. Breakfast options were varied and there was the option to have made-to-order eggs (omelettes, huevos rancheros, etc). The beds were comfortable and extra blankets were provided in case you are somebody like me, who needs the heavy blanket even in the tropical climate. Showers were consistently hot, which is something that we have come to discover is rare in Mexican boutique hotels. I loved everything about this hotel and cannot wait to come back!

Awesome People Work Here

The staff at the restaurant is awesome. We enjoyed our breakfast there every mooring. We stay here because of these great people in the resturant. The only complaint is the process’ of check-in / out.. Could be quicker but very polite staff. Quick stroll to beach…
