It is in a terrific location and was clean and their service was friendly and attentive and the price was very agreeable. the bed was comfortable and although the space is a little limited it served us just fine and I would recommend them to anyone considering staying in San Pedro!

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.

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!!

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.

Amber, 4-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!

Brandi, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I was in Unit 3 on the 2nd floor. No elevators in San Pedro so being able to walk up and down stairs is a necessity. I felt safe during the day and at night. I heard no street noise but did hear neighbors next door when they were talking loudly and the neighbors upstairs when it sounded like they were moving furniture around. But noise was really at a minimal. This site has a pool but did not use as it was a little cool. Would stay here again.

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.

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!

rob, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

the property was clean, the bathrooms functioning and the sheets clean. The kitchen was clean but did not have a stove, there was a microwave and a coffee machine. I had to buy my coffee, sugar etc. The beach area needed a little attention, but not usable. We had to go to the Palapa bar and grill for a swim, drinks and food. Eating out gets very expensive, my advise is to go nearby on the street and find a good local hole in the wall and eat very good cooked meals cheaply. We ate regularly at Yoli's Deli, I highly recommend it.
