    As always, we will be back!

    Liked : This was our fourth time staying at Palapas Del Sol. We will always return every year. The hotel, grounds, rooms, and beach are beautiful. It is a long standing hotel that caters more to the traditional vibe of the island. Gorgeous stretch of beach to walk the sandbar. I would like to add that the staff is great, and Ninfa is especially wonderful with everything!

    Disliked : Nothing

    Colourful and vibrant authentic hotel experience right by the beach

    Liked : The room and the hotel is absolutely incredible, the private balcony with a hammock was truly secluded and a perfect place to chill out in the afternoon before going into town. The grounds were amazing and the colours and the architecture were perfectly authentic. Location was excellent, for 150 pesos any of the ATV Taxis would take you into town or it was a 15/20 minute walk. There were lots of options to relax in the sun during the day and the bar down by the beach was fully stocked and well priced. Some of the other rooms looked amazing including the private watch-tower room, we hope to go back once day and we'll certainly be staying there if we can. The staff were all great and incredibly helpful, could not recommend staying here any more highly.

    Disliked : Some families would just come and reserve four beds on the beach in the morning, not the hotels fault to be fair but we didn't manage to get one at any point during our stay.

    Wonderful stay, we hope to return!

    Liked : Everything was wonderful and the owners very generous and hospitable. The property is incredibly well maintained, swept daily and rooms cleaned daily with fresh towels (probably unnecessary to have clean towels Every Single Day!). The atmosphere is just very chilled and serene. We loved it.

    Great property for a relaxing vacation

    Liked : Great location and staff was great. Overall facilities were nice. Our room could use more towel hooks and drying racks for wet stuff. I would pick a larger room next time. Love the overall property.

    Disliked : Service from the bar can be very slow when ordering food. They often forgot things.

    Perfect 5 day stay

    Liked : Great location, amazing room, excellent food, top drinks

    Disliked : Only the weather and that's not the hotel's fault !!!

    • Superior Suite with Watch Tower - Oceanfront
  • BuchananUnited States · Feb 2, 2026 8Very good

    Had a wonderful stay at Palapas del Soi; great location, amenities, food and drink, and service. .

    Liked : We had a large room right on the sand facing toward the water. It had a sweet little patio with tables chairs, daybed and hammock. The room was well stocked with coffee maker and fridge with cold drinks. The bar was nearby facing the beach and it served the same menu as the restaurant, so that was our usual breakfast spot and it was nice for dinner as well. There were plenty of beach loungers around the property.

    Disliked : My only quibble was there could have been more towel racks or hooks to hang up wet swimsuits, beach towels, etc.

    We loved it! We plan on coming back next year!!

    Liked : The location is perfect. Far enough from town that it is quieter but close enough to walk.

    Disliked : I think the food could be a little better. But it’s close enough to some really great restaurants that it doesn’t matter
