    We got there 15 minutes before our reservation. The staff member was rude to us when he told us they opened at 6 PM and rushed us back out of the door.  However, I server was outstanding and made us feel better about the restaurant. The ambience was amazing. However, the food was just OK and we didn’t stay for the after 9 PM entertainment. All in all I would give it a 7 out of 10.

    There's no denying the quality of the service. Every worker we saw was attentive, watching their tables, and friendly. Our server, sorry can't remember his name, the day accountant, was very polite and professional and we enjoyed our conversations. The lobster cakes however just went to my liking. Reminded me of salmon croquettes growing up, but they are popular. The yellowtail sushi my husband had he said was 100%. The place is absolutely gorgeous. Worth a visit id say even if just drinks at the bar.

    The level of service and the quality of the food was absolutely outstanding. Prices are quite reasonable and the ambience is very relaxing. Whenever we are on the island our dinner at Palapas has been a high spot of our trips

    Palapa was an absolutely AMAZING experience! We actually went on Friday night and it was sooo good we went back Saturday night and ordered the exact same thing again. Lemson provided excellent service. The entire wait staff worked so well together. The setting was very unexpected by the location. We loved it!!

    We love this restaurant. Atmosphere and food is fantastic. Staff was friendly and accommodating. My only feedback would be the meal felt rushed. Courses came out very quick. But we will definitely be back.
