This is a great location! You’re close to lots of bars and restaurants. However, the bed had dirty linens when we arrived, the sheet had a large brown stain. The house rep came and changed out the sheet right away but left the dirty sheet in the living room. It made me nervous that the cleaners left such a dirty linen on the bed. It made me wonder what else they skipped out on cleaning . The home itself has everything you need, but it is quite dated and does not have much sunlight (we were on the ground level, it might be different if you’re not). Also, in a place where you cannot flush toilet paper down the toilet, I think a garbage can with a lid is essential in the bathroom. There is a trash can in the bathroom, but it does not have a lid. Check in was a breeze and communication with the house representative was quick and easy. Overall, not a bad place for the cost.

We had an amazing 7 night stay. Priced just right. Safe and Convenient to all our excursions, waterfront restaurants, downtown, supermarket and the water taxi. Room was comfy, air conditioning was top notch plus ceiling fans. Staff was friendly, Orlando checked on us almost everyday to make sure we didn’t need anything. The sunrise views from the balcony are awesome!

I really enjoyed this property! There were a lot of restaurants to chose from in walking distance. The Palapa House was very clean. Orlando and Clara who take care of the property are very nice and very helpful! (THE BEST) There is an amazing veiw of the ocean as soon as you open the blinds! I highly recommended this place if you come to San Pedro!

This property was great. It was very close to downtown San Pedro, but was on the beach side so it was very quiet. Great view of the sunrise ower the water. We rented a golf cart and were able to park right in front. Beds and pillows were very comfortable. This not a normal hotel, there is no onsite receptionist. They give you a code to a lock box to get your room key. There is a property manager that we saw taking care of the property several times. The only issue we had is check in was 3, and when I booked, they emailed me that there was an option to leave our bags if we arrived early. I let them know we would likely arrive about 12:30 and they emaield me that I could get my key early and drop my bag in the room if it was not ready yet. When we arrived there was no key in the box for us. I called the not that I was emailed and was posted by the lock box, but no answer. There was a group a girls getting ready to leave and they messaged the guy on Whatsapp for us and he came by about 10 minutes later with our key. no big deal, the rest of the stay was great. He said he didn't answer my call as he didn't know who it was, but will answer whatsapp. He should answer both as we didn't have access to whatsapp yet since we didn't have the wifi password yet.

Five stars for the Palapa House
This was my fourth stay at the Palapa House. I lived in Belize for 18 years and had always recommended the Palapa House to family and friends. I since return every year to visit old friends. The grounds and pool have always been spotless, it's exceedingly private and the rooms are immaculate and well furnished. There is not an on site property office but a manager is available 24/7. Highly recommend.

This property was in a perfect location!! Orlando was always available when needed and would check on us frequently. The place could use a gooooood cleaning. Ex- the bathroom tub/walls/area around toilet needs done “elbow grease” (smile) the knobs in kitchen kept falling off. The sofa being fabric holds odor and germs. The floor could have been cleaned better but in all honesty we would stay again!! There were plenty of towels, soap etc! The internet went in and out but Orlando was there right away to troubleshoot! The window in the bathroom allows someone to look into the bathroom if they are on the stairs next to the window! My suggestion would be a curtain for those that need just a lil more privacy Again we would stay at the PH again!!!

Perfect location for walking to bars, restaurants, and excursion boats. Clean and comfortable. Great view. Love the little outdoor area for eating and the small pool to cool off in, which was quite adequate for only nine units. Decent response time on questions to staff. Only thing lacking, which is being very nitpicky I realize, were ice trays and salt and pepper. I did ask and receive the ice trays very quickly, though. Bought my own salt and pepper which was cheap and easy to attain, so no big deal. If I came back to Belize, this would be my first choice.
