We loved this place, small bungalows with direct access to the beach, great service, a nice 4 stars hotel but... We did not like the beach there, as they are too close to the main beach club in town (Mamitas), and with a bad smell coming from the sea... But there are other beaches nearby, the nicest ones even though... More

The best part of this hotel is the guest rooms, the gardens and location on the beach.

Surely, the lack of amenities may be great for some, but the bed was very very hard, the pillows were very very thin, the sheets were very very hard and thin, the towels (only 2) were hard as well. They need to step up their linens and mattresses, because they are not comfortable at all. Spider in the room. the... More

I cannot say enough about the magic this place has from the moment you arrive. It is a true escape and retreat without placing you far from the hustle and bustle if you so desire. We enjoyed the lack of fancy, glitzy "amentites" such as phones, TV's, and surround sound system. Our surround sound system was the sounds of nature... More

My first time in Las Palapas. I was disappointed with the hotel. We initially stayed in a room that turned out to be noisy so we asked for another room. They did move us but to a room that was even noisier. Breakfast was good and the grounds and beachfront area were very nice. Rooms were dated. Could use some... More

Palapa style rooms are cute looking but the A/C is not very good, it gets very humid. No TV's or phone here, so if you need those, not your kind of place. The safe is very old, we were moved to an upgraded room on the 2nd night since we reserved the upgrade but got a smaller with two twin... More

We stayed one week at hotel Palapas i March 2012. Got a lovely bungalow (nr 5) with veranda overlooking the magnificent garden and crystal blue ocean.

My first time in PDC was great and I'm glad we chose this hotel - location is great. Very nice gardens in a large beach front area - this is the high point.

We stayed for 5 nights in early March and were very pleased with Las Palapas. We had an "Oceanfront" cabana (3rd one from the water). The room was very clean and attractively decorated. The staff was unbelievably helpful, pleasant, and welcoming. We enjoyed the breakfast, lots of fresh fruit, eggs made to order, plus an assortment of other choices. We... More
