    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 😍

    The food was good but outdated older type preparations and fairly expensive by Puerto Vallarta standards. Service was outstanding and friendly. The setting on the beach is wonderful.

    We had an excellent dinner. We ordered the special of the day which was surf and turf. Absolutely amazing. I have a nut allergy and they were incredibly accommodating. Over 10/10!!

    Waiters were fewer than usual. It was the first year that we had to wonder where our waiter had gone? Seemed like the staff on Xmas night was fewer than normal. Food and drinks came quickly and La Palapa remains a very good experience. Live music was a really nice touch.
