We picked this place because it looked cute with a boho vibe, and it totally delivered. The atmosphere was cozy and thoughtfully designed, and the staff was genuinely great — friendly, helpful, and welcoming from start to finish. It made the whole stay feel easy and comfortable. Would definitely stay here again.

From the moment I arrived, I knew this was the place…to chill & enjoy one of the finest beaches in the Caribbean!
This high-end resort treats each & every guest as if they were the only ones there. Jose & Marie at the front desk kept everything running smoothly.

Very lovely staff, great housekeeping, delicious food. The only thing I'd improve is bike rental, bikes are very rusty. Also moldy chairs in dinning room - I understand there is moisture problem at the island so I didn't mind, but could choose different materials that are not as prone to get moldy.
This was our 1st stay at Palapas, but we stayed at Paraiso (sister hotel right next to it) two times and would come back again to either of them.
Overall absolutely great value for the price!

Room spotless. Mini jacuzzi/pool was a must. Super location. If you want to see the stars in the sky, it is far away from the center of the village and its lights. But close to all the nice beach bars and lounges.

This hotel, is located on one of the most beautiful white sand beaches in the Caribbean !
In addition, it’s only a 10-15 minute walk into the main town in Holbox.
The entire staff works together to ensure your stay exceeds expectations. Jose, Marie, Mike, Wilbert are the BEST. You gotta visit, you won’t be disappointed.
