    Ivan is a professional server and we were thrilled to have him take care of us. The service and food was outstanding. The ambience. Incredible ! We caught the sunset from our Oceanside table. The location is incomparable. Lobster was very pricey at $2150 pesos to be honest. Otherwise we had good value in every other dish. We look forward to returning. It has been too long.

    Great place on the beach. We had table outside on the sand but not close to water. Food was excellent. Our Waiter was efficient. When and if back in Puerto Vallarta we will visit again.

    It’s a beautiful location right on the beach. I had the roasted tomato soup with lobster medallion and the La Palapa Shrimp. It was very good.

    La Palapa is by far the best place to spend the day in Puerto Vallarta. The food and service are over the top. Alejandro is a fantastic waiter! We look forward to many more afternoons at this gem.
