    La ubicación y ambientación es lo mejor. La comida es promedio pero el servicio es muy deficiente. Olvidaron mi platillo, trajeron en destiempo algunos otros platillos, el mesero fue descortés.

    La Palpa has been around since 1959 and is a favorite in the Romantic Zone. Excellent food and service right on the beach. Always a wonderful experience.

    Lovely atmosphere, great service and delicious food. The only thing we would have changed is not to be have the beach peddlers come up throughout dinner.

    Not our first time here and definitely not our last. La Palapa is beautiful, elegant, relaxing, fun, and delicious! We came here for my my cousin’s rehearsal dinner a couple years ago and we had to come back while in PV for my birthday. We HAD to get the Coconut Shrimp and the cocktails were amazing! Always take the bartender’s special of the night—they are creative and perfectly crafted. When given the option, I’ll always choose dinner on the beach 😍
