We really enjoyed our stay at Las Palapas during the start of our tour through Mexico. Staff were very friendly and service was good. Breakfast was a good start to the day with fresh omelettes made every day, plenty of fruit and different offerings.
The room was average, very spacious large bed but a rather hard mattrass. Decoration was quite minimal and bathroom was a little dated although all in working order. A bottle of water was provided as well.
We enjoy lounging in the hammocks in front of our bungalow although I was eaten alive by musquitos in the evening, nothing seemed to deter them.
The grouns of the hotel are very well maintained and I enjoyed the surroundings. The hotel is build in 2 storey bungalows and in general a quiet area of Playa del Carmen.
Beach also very well maintained and tidy. There is a beach service of drinks and a daily cocktail special. Lunch is fresh, tasty and again a good selection of lunch options.
There is a pool as well and it looked clean and inviting but we decided to relax on the beach.
I would definately return and recommend others to stay at las Palapas. We enjoyed our stay very much!

love this place! Loved the thatched roof room....felt like real mexico! Breakfast was delicious, the grounds are beautiful, and you can walk to 5th ave no problem from this beach location. Excellent restaurants & shopping all around to choose from. Beach bar serves excellent drinks & doesn't skimp on the alcohol! Far enough off the beaten path to get away from the crazy party noise that is right in town.......We loved this place and will surely return if we ever stay in Playa again!

Not only is the beach the best in Playa, but the staff at Las Palapas is exceptional. Front desk staff is very knowledgable and recommended some great "authentic" mexican restaraunts. Breakfast is wonderful. Fresh fruits and juices every day, as well as omelits, bacon and sausages.

The grounds are immaculate. Staff keep the place beautiful. I hope to go back soon!

This is not a normal hotel, is it a selection of high class rooms in a little nature reserve next to a wonderful beach and a short stroll from the centre of Playa del Carmen, but it is infinitely more than this, as it has all the qualities of a first class hotel.
The restaurant serves a fabulous breakfast and evening meals, friendly staff who go out of there way to ensure you have everything you need, a pool, a gym, wellness centre, beach bar, in fact almost everything.
The rooms are spacious, comfortable with good air conditioning and ceiling fans, the bathrooms are well laid out with high quality showers, the beds are generous in size and extremely comfortable.
What makes it very, very special is its surroundings. It is constructed in a mature natural habitat surrounded by plants and trees which contain a mass of birds and wildlife, unlike anywhere you would find, short of staying in a jungle location. We saw many varieties of birds and other wildlife, even a badger in the jungle walk which leads off the front car park.
It won't suit people who like traditional hotels with TV's in the room and a mass of electrical gadgetry, carpets and lifts but if you want a little bit of Eden this is it! Long may it survive untouched!!!
