La Palapa has a good location and it’s very quiet if you enjoy quiet . Unfortunately, the beach area is an eye and nose sore of sargassum. It is extremely damp and smelly preventing anyone from enjoying the restaurant or any lounging . It’s best to walk over to other beach clubs $$$ … the hotel staff tries to clean the sargassum daily but it’s never fully ok for views or to swim through. I would NOT stay here again . There are so many better options. The hotel staff will play it off as it’s seasonal but it’s simply not .. they are in a nook that is surrounded by piers, jetties and/or rocks, making the sargassum problem inevitable. I felt really bad for the guys trying to keep it clean bc it’s endless.

Beautiful property, attentive and hard working staff. Great location to town and other beach restaurants. My only complaint was the beach had sargasm every day but one. They worked hard every day to clean it up, but it just keeps coming back!

When visiting the magnificent island of Holbox , Beach front Hotel La Palapa is definitely the place to be. From its warm welcoming from the staff , to its spotless rooms , everything was immaculate. Not to mention its restaurant that is a few feet down from the rooms , which was hands down the best food i’ve had on the island , everything on the menu was very tasty. My partner and I loved the private beach it had to offer as it was one of the cleanest on the island. It was my first time visiting Holbox and definitely won’t be my last , and i know for sure where i’ll be staying.

The hotel definitely isn’t a five-star hotel as it is a little bit rundown in certain places. The beach is being overtaken by the ocean, which they can’t help. But I do have to say for the location price and what it was it was worth the stay. I think if I return to the area, I would book a different hotel, but just for accommodations and service sake.

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 great beach location convenient to everything. The grounds were impecable with comfortable lounge chairs on the beach and inviting room porches facing the ocean. Very helpful, smart and friendly staff. Comfortable bedding. The rooms could use a dresser, however, there was insufficient options to keep clothes, etc. Stored and organized.

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.
