This place was EVERYTHING we needed or wanted in a Belize vacation spot! PROS: Oceanfront, Clean, roomy suite, in-floor safe, GREAT pool, convenient to stores, restaurants, bars, excursions (fishing/snorkeling), balcony, WI-FI CONS: Our golf cart was stolen parked right out front (this was NOT due to any fault of The Palapa House...don't let it affect your decision to stay here!) but a security camera upgrade could benefit these situations in the future! Shane, Orlando, Stacey and the Palapa team were so supportive of our situation; Shane even called us from HIS vacation in Ireland to discuss it! Orlando made us feel welcome and valued as guests, and sweet Clara who does make-readies is such a joy! By the end of the week here we felt like family!

Very convenient. No frills and reasonably priced. Room was clean, bed very comfortable, A/C very cool and comfortable. It’s right in the middle of everything. It’s not a resort area. It’s a fishing, diving, snorkeling town with great food and very kind locals.

The property was beautiful. We did get a lower level large room. The picture showed a balcony and I don’t like being on the bottom. Kind of off putting to not really get a view. Golf carts always line the sand, can’t see beach. But overall great place

We approached the property at night and my original opinion was not great. I refused to even approach the property. I was surprised bc the unit was very nice. It was obviously updated and very modern. The other guests were older but great and provided recommendations about places to eat and see. The property is also conveniently located steps away from the beach. My only drawback was there is no daily laundry service. It was difficult to get fresh towels. I also wanted our bedding changed daily but turned out not to be that big of a deal. I would definitely recommend to others and would book there again!
