My husband and I booked a flight and this resort the day prior to leaving. John, the owner was quick to respond to our email so we could make our arrangements. We were looking for a different vacation from the all-inclusives and saw the Palapas Resort online. It was as good as the reviews - quiet, out-of-the-way yet close to... More

My husband and I had the pleasure of staying at La Palapas for a couple of nights at the end of our Baja visit. The Location is fantastic if you are looking for something a little more authentic and less touristy. We wandered over to La Playita after a great meal at the Container near the marina. Yes, you can... More

Palapas is a wonderful retreat. I rented the cabana right next to a water fountain, which many species of birds frequented. It was just one of the many natural things to enjoy at Palapas. Eating outdoors and enjoying the surroundings was a relaxing way to start the morning. John is a fun guy, but I did have to tell him... More

My husband and I found the Palapas Resort to be a really great location for anyone who wants to be away from the commotion of the tourist corridor. That being said, the #5 bus stops outside the front gate and will take you right into the heart of historic downtown San Jose and onto the grocery stores if needed. There... More

I had a great time and felt safer here than most places in the U.S. John, the owner, is a lot of fun. He knows the area really well and can give you tips on places to go. The resort is very close to the beach and easy walking distance to the Marina. Accommodations range from a relatively simple one-room... More

My husband and I stayed at Palapas Resort in May 2012 and had a really great time. We were really happy with the accomodation, our room was clean and very comfortable. We also loved the out door kitchen where we prepared delicious salsa every night. John, the owner, was really nice and always up for a chat. Palapas is really... More

My wife and I stopped here for a few nights in May 2012, and really enjoyed a chance to enjoy a more hostel like experience. John P was around and very nice. Hammocks, ping pong, a kitchen to share, no frills otherwise but very relaxing. We felt it was a nice contrast to the resorts dotting the rest of the... More

A large group of us (4 families) spent spring break at Palapas this year. We rented the whole compund and found the varied accommodations well suited to provide both privacy and communal space. The location in the small fishing village of La Playita gets you away from the tourist scene and lets you truely relax. With the exception of the... More

I stayed at Palapas in early May and had a wonderful time. The host, John was very nice and accommodating. Palapas has beautiful landscaping and Palm trees, flowers and mature plants and trees.
