    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.
