    The experience dining at La Palapa was outstanding. The restaurant is unique in my experience with dining. And I am 75 years old. As you enter the restaurant, you get a feeling of a sophisticated restaurant. But then if you choose outdoor dining, you are led to a beautiful appointed table that is situated in well groomed sand!! The food was terrific. I had the best shrimp dish I’ve ever had. Totally charming experience!

    Wonderful place and we had a wonderful table however, the family next to us had small children that were not behaving well and we’re very loud and made our dinner difficult. Once they left, I was good.
