I traveled with "spmuell" and agree with her review. We will definitely be returning to enjoy the lovely beach, pleasant rooms, excellent restuarant and truly hospitable service. This is a great place for people who want a quiet, low-key experience.

I have just returned from my third trip to the magical Isla Holbox. I have previously stayed at the very nice Casa Las Tortugas, but they were all booked up, so I decided to try La Palapa. I am so glad I did. I have found my new home away from home. The rooms are very nice - large, well... More

We found this hotel and this destination to be magical. A place for true travellers who want to be away from the floodlights of Cancun and Playa del Carmen ( though Playa is far better than Cancun). This is just what we wanted after travelling so much in the Yucatan. The rooms were colourful spacious and very clean. The village... More

This was our first trip to Isla Holbox, but we'll definitely be back and when we return, we'll stay here again! The staff were super helpful and friendly. The location is excellent---our room was on the first floor, with a small patio facing the ocean. The patio had 2 chairs and a hammock. The beach front was steps away, with... More

This was our second time at La Palapa and hopefully we can visit again soon . I can't say enough about how well the staff treat the guests. Brenda and Robert went out of their way to provide us with excellent service. We had initially booked into the cute little Bungalow at the back of the property. Loved it. Hidden... More

We needed a vacation and this turned out to be a perfect place to bring two small children and relax. It is mostly nice and quiet (did have one night with loud teenagers) and the location cant be better for access to the village and the restaurants there. The grounds people there are lovely and the staff nice and accommodating.... More

We wanted to find a new place to relax and this hotel/restaurant were better than expected. Hotel staff could not have been more helpful from travel arrangements before we got there to assisting with departure plans and everything in between. If you want Las Vegas then you should go there because this is the anti-Las Vegas. i can't say enough... More
