Palapas del Sol

I had stayed at Palapas del Sol 12 years ago and it was great. Now it is a little larger and has a bar and restaurant but still has all of the small hotel charm. No more than 20 rooms. Our room with the tower was fabulous. Huge with a daybed and big terrace with table chairs and hammocks. Our friends ocean view king room with four poster bed was also gorgeous with a big terrace. The property is tight on the beach front with deck chairs and umbrellas and even beach food and drink service. You couldn't get a better location Beautiful white sand beach and turquoise calm water. There is none of teh sargassum seaweed problem that has started to ruin the Cancun and Tulum coast. Breakfast was excellent with plenty of choices. We ate in the bar which faces the water. The food is good but there are some fabulous places to eat outside. I highly recommend Santos Fuego wood fired oven cooking (roast broccoli and also octopus great) and Parador33, the lobster pasta generous with a whole lobster tail. The ultimate recommendation I guess is that we stayed 4 days, then drove all over the Yucatan but our whole group voted to return to Palapas del Sol for 5 more days before leaving Mexico.

nothing

everything was amazing we will return

just that the staff put club music during the day, its a relax location the music should be chillout and not reggaeton

Location is perfect for families. The beach is right across the road with private covered seating areas with tables, loungers and a hammock. The hotel is small with maybe a dozen rooms so staff is small as well. The pool was maintained daily. The grounds were cleaned and raked every morning. Breakfast was limited but delicious. There's only one cook and a helper and she and her team did a great job with all the meals. There's only 2 waitstaff and one doubled as a bar tender so the service was slow but you are in paradise, what's the hurry? The room as spacious, comfy beds and lots of hot water. House keeping ladies were very friendly and thorough.

Nothing. Everything was great! It's the jungle so there's mosquitos so be prepared. There's iguanas and raccoons running around so don't leave anything edible outside. Our door was a sliding door so we had to make sure it was closed immediately so mosquitos won't get inside. But that's just part of being on a island. There was an issue with the final invoice being charged incorrectly, but the staff figured it out and corrected it before I got back home on my flight.

The building is beautiful and the beach as well

The service and the worst breakfast
