This may not be a large, shining resort but the location and grounds is so ideal it is quite easy to put up with any small inconviences. Nestled in the jungle and touching a beautiful beach it is just a five minute walk to the action of fifth avenue. We went to 5th every day and night and the beach.... more

First impression of the hotel was not a good one by any means. The first room that we were given had a very strong odor of mold & mildew. The staff was very responsive when we requested a new room. Grounds are very nice at Las Palapas and the rooms are clean with the exception of the linens. In both... more

Las Palapas was just what I was looking for. It has a great beach with bar and shade, tons of chairs. Also a nice pool and grounds. it is easy walking distance to the atractions of Fifth Avenue, but quiet at night in the manicured garden grounds. The staff was very friendly. I felt that I was in Mexico, not... more

What a beautiful place! The grounds are set in a near-jungle with beautiful plantings. The beach is lovely, with plenty of chairs and shade, the palapas rooms have authentic palm roofs and plenty of space, and the staff are just fantastic. (Ask Obaldo at the bar where to eat real Mexican food). Another plus is that Las Palapas is on... more

We found Las Palapas to be everything and more. It was very quiet, great beach and all the staff were very helpful and friendly. Nice beach and a great little gym. Within easy walking distance to downtown to sightsee. Rooms were clean, not super flashy but comfortable, hammocks on the deck are a great feature. Overall it was a great... more

We spent three nights at Las Plapas. overall we were disappointed. While the rooms are nice and clean, and the service was cordial, the hotel gave off an 'old' feel, and we kept bumping into unpleasant little surprises such as unclean restrooms in the restaurant, and having to sign for the beach towells and the A/C remote. One clear conclusion... more

Las Palapas was quiet and charming with lovely rooms and a lot of european guests. We stayed in the garden area and not on the beach but we enjoyed the flowers and foliage. At sunrise a huge chorus of songbirds started up the day. Our rooms were spacious, well furnished and beautiful, very clean, lots of hot water, beds not... more

Las palapas is a truly lovely little place. While the rest of Playa del Carmen is a concrete jungle, las Palapas consists of two-storey cottages surrounded by gorgeous tropical gardens, on a beautiful stretch of beach. It's about 10 min walk away from the main shopping / restaurant area, and trust me, given how busy that past of Playa gets... more

We stayed at Las Palapas for one week and I can honestly say it was one of the best holidays we have had. It is hard to put down all the qualities of this admirable hotel but here are just a few. We had a garden suite deluxe room that was like waking up in the jungle canopy each morning,... more

We chose Las Palapas as our destination wedding site because we heard the beach was the best--we were not disapointed! We stayed five nights and loved having the beach so close. The grounds are amazing. The rooms weren't as bad as I had heard, but when the rain came they did get a little damp. I thought the (free) breakfast... more
