    Service was amazing, they accommodated us when we were running 15 min late. Food was delicious. If you are lucky, you may get to see some fireworks at night. If you sit at the tables on top of the sand closest to the waters, be prepared to be solicited by the local kids to buy their goods.

    Is La Palapa inexpensive? No. Expect US prices. But the food, service and location are extraordianry. La Palapa is a star on Puerto Vallarta's dining scene. It will quickly become your favorite go-to restaurant.

    This was our first visit to Puerto Vallarta and dinner at La Palapa was a highlight! The appetizer, entrees, dessert, and drinks were all amazing. The service was impeccable and the view was gorgeous.

    This restaurant has a lot of potential to be amazing. The location is great and the atmosphere is superb. The menu is enticing but the recipes for food could use improvement and the service was so-so.
