the resort, beach and pool are really nice. i recommend staying in the garden palapas because it's far enough from the beach to filter the noise from the surrounding "party resorts", but close enough to the beach and buffet breakfast. useful hint.....if you're wanting to order drinks or food on the beach or at the pool, ask for PABLO to...

Our second stay in 3 years and wonderful. We stayed in palapa no. 8 which is a deluxe garden view. It is as close to the ocean as you can get without the cost of an ocean palapa! Great breakfast, perfect weather, clean beach with no rocks or algae, right next to a yoga studio just down the beach (5... More

We loved our stay here. Food was average but the service and staff were the friendliest I have encountered. Lots of great music and you are so close to one of the best Cuban Bars in Playa. Great location, nice rooms with air conditioning. A big plus! Great beach access! You walk out and you are right on 5th Ave... More

This was one of the nicest hotels we have stayed at. Excellent location, close to the main street and to the beach but so hidden you really felt you went into paradise. We loved the smallness of the hotel, and even though we spent 8 days during highseason it didn´t feel cramped. It was easy for the kids to find... More

Las Palapas is paradise, we agree it's a great feeling to come from busy 5th. Avenue, to the green, natural beauty at this property. We are glad to read you enjoyed it with your family. And yes! Breakfast bufete is one of the things that guests like the most. It's delicious! Hope to have you back in your next Playa... More

Thanks for your review. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the music at the beach club next door. As we have written on other comments, Playa has grown a lot, and being a touristic town, sometimes comes with beach clubs, parties and events.

This was my second stay at Las Palapas, and I found it just as enjoyable as the first. The rooms are well kept, clean (no mildew) and private. The grounds are lovely (we went to Xcaret for a day, and Las Palapas is similar in it's care for the jungle as well as the human visitors.) The beach is excellent,... More

Just returned from a 4 day stay at this great spot. The hotel is very conveniently located right off of Carmen del Playa's main street, Avenida 5. Only steps away are restaurants, cafes, shops and entertainment...but despite that, this place is tucked back and hidden making it feel like a tropical refuge. The beaches are beautiful and the service is... More

We were pleasantly surprised arriving at Las Palapas this last week for vacation, having chosen it from TripAdvisor. The property is just one tiny notch below luxury, but actually feels more authentic for that. The location is great - just off 5th Avenue at the quieter and more upscale end. The communal areas and pathways between the buildings were beautiful... More
