Sitting on the beach as part of a high rise hotel, we expected tourist food and were pleasantly surprised to find creative, artistically presented and very tasty food. The tortilla soup will make it impossible to eat it at local restaurants in San Francisco ever again. Duck confit tostada was an appetizer you would expect to see on Iron Chef.... more

Just back from here and miss it. Our first meal was here for a delicious breakfast and beautiful view. Reasonable, great coffee and hearty fresh breakfast. more

Was here in January '09 for breakfast and came back twice. The location on the beach was just perfect - perfectly lovely. The service was attentive. And, the food was amazing. I had Chilaquiles and Huevos Rancheros and both were incredible. I can't wait to visit again. more

The beach side dining and views are awesome. The food is pretty good, service was attentive. Prices were probably what you would expect for the beach, however 100 pesos for a small bottle of water is ridiculous! more

My wife and I dined at La Palapa on the recommendation of Puerto vallarta's tourism organization. They couldn't have been more rigt. The setting is absolutely gorgeous.

Everything is presented beautifully like an artistic meal. The breakfast is very cheap, with tip and tax it was like $17!! The view is gorgeous,... more

My wife and I like this place a lot and have been eating there for years. I was in PV alone in July, ate the mussels and was sick before I finished my main course. more

My husband and I celebrated my 30th birthday in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico and I had read many reviews of restaurants and decided on La Palapa for my birthday dinner celebration. We booked ahead of time online and I received a personalized email confirmation. Our experience at La Palapa was definitely a great one. The meal itself was very good and... more
