    Overall great experience. Unfortunately, my Seabass was overcooked and dry. And the accompanying vegetables were cold. They did replace it with a more acceptable dish.

    The food and waiter was great. There was a large wedding group there that took some of the staff bandwidth but they managed it well.

    We have been coming to PV for over 20 years. Lapalapa has always been our favorites and we dine once or twice each trip. However, last night the service was very poor. It took forever for a waiter to service our table . Drinks took a while as did the water and the bread . Food is always stellar.

    I have dined at La Palapa on several occasions and each time it has been fantastic. It is a memorable experience each time we go and for the people we bring here.

    Worth a visit to dine in the sand, experience great food and service. We celebrated a birthday and enjoyed the coconut shrimp appetizer, the salmon entree and beef medallions. We all loved our dinners and they brought a free dessert for our birthday girl!
