Comfy Palapa House

Glenn, 6-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Jenny, 3-night trip

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!!

Stephanie, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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!

Amber, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I really enjoyed this property! There were a lot of restaurants to chose from in walking distance. The Palapa House was very clean. 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! I highly recommended this place if you come to San Pedro!
Kevin, 7-night trip

Great stay with family
My in-laws, husband, and I stayed in suite 7 for the past 4 nights and it was great! Really great location, very walkable to most things in town. We had a golf cart and always had ample parking spots. There are 2 bars literally within a stones throw to grab food or drinks. You can hear the live music from Palapa bar on the balcony, but surprisingly not from inside. That being said, the walls are pretty thin, so if you have people staying beside you, you will most likely hear them at some point. The water pressure is pretty minimal and the water takes a bit to heat up, but otherwise no complaints! Check-in was super easy and the directions were simple. There is no where to store bags if you want a late check out or early check in btw. It really depends on if they need your room to get ready for the next guests. So try to plan your arrival/depature times around 3 for arrival and 11 for departure. Otherwise, would definitely recommend!
