We stayed here 5 nights and this hotel has the best location of all we think. Cosy beach slip with a nice, layed back atmosphere. Rooms are very simple with just the basics you need. Beds are very small and quite hard. Me and my girlfriend did not sleep very well in the 140 cm wide bed.. The resturant has... More

My friend and I stayed at La Palapa for a week, and we were so happy that we made the choice to stay there as opposed to every other property we ended up peeking at on the beautiful island of Holbox. Upon our arrival, we were extended a warm welcome by Vicente, who is the very embodiment of hospitality and... More

unplug & relax at La Palapa. Great location, beautiful beach, great food and drink. Beppe and Fabio prepare top notch food and drinks and the hotel staff cannot be more helpful. Rooms 1 & 2 get a bit of noise from the restaurant and the folks who like to sit in the hammocks outside those rooms and talk into the... More

Stayed in La Palapa for 4 nights at the start of our holiday. Couldn't have asked for a better view first thing in the morning. Overlooked the sea. Stunning. Good choice of breakfast dishes in the morning which were nicely presented. The staff are an asset. Crystel on Reception couldn't have been more helpful. The staff come over as actually... More

Holbox has something special. Authentic, beautiful, pure, and real. Holbox welcomes you making you part of its  life  right away. Holbox has several nice places but " la palapa" is the one to choose. Beppe and Fabio are the experienced italian chefs  in charge of the wonderful hotel and restaurant. Perfect location, perfect environment, perfect atmosphere.. Everything is perfectly run,... More

Very nice spot with the beach just outside your door. Good restaurant on premises. Convenient. Three nights in a row there was some kind of party nearby, so light sleepers may be bothered. Except for the noise (I slept through it, but my wife did not) it is a great spot for convenience, comfort and price. Bring money from the... More

We stayed at La Palapa for almost two weeks over Christmas and New Year's Eve. We stayed in the bungalow which was very nice and cosy. The cleaning service was excellent! The beach is right in front of the hotel and it's one of the best on Holbox. I can't say enough good things about the staff, they are so... More

We arrived to La Palapa and fall in love with the place at first glance, clean and beautiful rooms, lovely staff, stunning view of the beach from the room and the best margaritas in all Holbox. It's a really good option for a really good price, i'll love to go back and stay there really soon. Totally recommended. More

We ended up giving La Palapa a try because we could only stay 2 days at Mawimbi (a favorite of ours) due to a wedding coming in. We were very pleased to find our room (Cielito Lindo) at La Palapa was clean and very spacious - larger than the two rooms we had stayed in previously at Mawimbi. The shower... More
