Thanks to Orlando and Shane our stay at Palapa House was easy and carefree. The property provides a view of the culture of San Pedro that can’t be beat. If you’re looking to soak in the Caribbean culture and sea, then Palapa House is for you!

Loved the restruraunts near the property and cleaning staff were super helpful dealing with some local issues. Cons..... safe was not bolted down and the music away from the property was loud on saturaday night ( not the properties fault.)

The Palapa House was in such a perfect location! Somehow still super quiet and peaceful, but central for walking to almost anywhere in San Pedro. The bed was super comfortable. We messaged a few weeks prior to our trip and got recommendations for a rental golf cart and were able to arrange that for easy airport pickup and use during our trip--so helpful!! And the morning of our snorkel tour, all we had to do was wake up, make some coffee, and walk literally across the beach to Chuck & Robbie's Dive Shop.

Staff was always around cleaning the area and making improvements. They were friendly and available but unobtrusive. The beach is the front lawn. Area is beautiful and fulll of life.

I can't say enough wonderful things about my stay. The location is perfect, you are walking distance to everything in San Pedro town, there is a real beach and multiple tour companies right outside. We lost our key and Orlando went above and beyond to help us late at night. Not having a front desk is not an issue, it's all seamless and any issues that pop up will be resolved. We did not have any issues with parking our golf cart despite this area being very popular. I loved staying here instead of the resorts because it just felt like a more authentic experience. I will definitely stay here again!!
