The facility was clean and well stacked. The bed was very comfortable, and I got a great night sleep for the duration of my stay. Orlando does and excellent job caring for the units and keeping everything clean. Definitely recommend and will stay again.

We were able to leave our baggage early which was helpful. We also received a discount for snorkeling and the small water park at the secret beach. The Belize Water Taxi dock is no longer close to this hotel, but the Caribbean Sprinter is (word is they are also relocating). Lastly the property manager helped us out with a taxi. Thank you.

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!

Best location!

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!!

We had an amazing 7 night stay. Priced just right. Safe and Convenient to all our excursions, waterfront restaurants, downtown, supermarket and the water taxi. Room was comfy, air conditioning was top notch plus ceiling fans. Staff was friendly, Orlando checked on us almost everyday to make sure we didn’t need anything. The sunrise views from the balcony are awesome!

Orlando and Clara who take care of the property are very nice and very helpful! (THE BEST) There is an amazing veiw of the ocean as soon as you open the blinds!
