It is simply impossible to completely eliminate sand when the beach is right outside the front door. So they get 5* for effort. The staff were stellar. With breakfast included, we got to know the restaurant/bar staff pretty well. The front desk staff were equally friendly and helpful. Best guacamole ~ever~.

The ocean view from the room is exceptional and the in-room hammock is lovely. The bar/restaurant employees were incredibly friendly and took great care of us. However, the beach was disappointing. There was glass from broken bottles, broken floor tiles, large rocks, and other debris on the shoreline. Once you get past that, the beach sand is soft and smooth. Sleeping was a struggle. While ear plugs were provided, the bass from surrounding nightclubs was challenging to drown out. If you’re looking for a room with a view at a great price, try it out.

This is a great hotel. It is closer to the sea than any other hotel so the beach views and experiences are superb. The grounds are kept extremely clean and the sand is swept and any beach debris is removed daily. The staff is very friendly and helpful in organizing trips and taxis. The bar and restaurant have very good food and drinks with reasonable prices. Our room was clean, well furnished and had a great ocean view. We will stay here again when we return to Holbox

You really can't find a much better property location wise... This is right in the center of "town", right on the beach, and right next to plenty of restaurants, bars, and shops. The property itself is a little older, but timeless and clean. Make sure that you get a room with a window facing the ocean, it was great to fall asleep with the waves crashing against the shore. The staff was great. They let us hold our bags in their office while we waited for the room to be ready, and you get a welcome drink that is either a fresh daily juice or a Beer... The restaurant RIGHT next door (away from the beach) has some great Aguachiles, highly recommend.

This is a very nice property. It is centrally located. The beach is small and there was a lot of what it seemed to be sea weed . So we were not able to enjoy the private beach. We went to a public one close by and it was pretty nice.

Well kept property. Staff works hard but Know that when you reserve, you must include everyone using room to see actual total cost. Cost for our "room for four" doubled from listed when we checked in with four people. Surrounding properties: vacant lot, motorcycle repair yard, and cul-de-sac by hotel's registration/entrance, all get busy. Not very scenic.

Perfect location on the beach. You can watch pelicans dive bombing for fish all day long. Sunsets are amazing. Included breakfast is very tasty. Staff is friendly and accommodating. There are a couple of good restaurants nearby within easy walking distance. We did have some confusion around payment. The resort sent us an Expedia message (and email) that said the 1st night would be charged to our credit card. I trusted this was correct but when we arrived we were charged for the 1st night at the check in desk. I used my online banking app to double check that I wasn't being double charged. I wasn't so it all worked out. I recommend the resort take this statement out of their pre check in communication if they are not going to do it. Other than that it was a wonderful stay.

Nice hotel on the beachfront and well located vis-a-vis rstaurants. Internet service was good. The staff is nice and friendly, in particular in the restaurant. The only negative point I could make is regarding the restaurant which closes around 6 or 6:30 pm, whoch means no possibilities to have dinner.

Love La Palapa, it’s great place to relax, enjoy the beautiful water and sun. The staff was super friendly and check in was easy. The room is perfect, no TV, A/C works awesome and the room has a balcony facing the water. On the balcony you will find a hammock and table perfect for chillin. The beach is a little rough from the shells. The temp of the water is perfect, if you walk off the property you will find tons of options for food and clubs. I would stay here again.
