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!

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.
7-night trip

10/10

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!!
6-night trip

10/10

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!

We had a great time staying at Palapa House. Everything you need is within walking distance . So many restaurants with great food and drinks. You can't go.wrong at any one. . The rooms are very quaint and clean. Just the basics but that's fine because you shouldn't be spending time in your room on your vacation. Highly recommended and trying to plan our next trip this year . Clara and Orlando are the best on the property and will take care of all your needs. distance.
