Brian McGlynnSeptember 21, 2016Service is fantastic and the food is simply wonderful! Try the Tortilla Soup and the Pork Tenderloin. Finish your meal with the Frozen Lemon Pie.
Jc TrabolsiApril 23, 2014Great food, excellent service and amazing location! Was worried after reading some of the reviews as I took special guests from Australia and I wanted them to get a good experience. It was great!
YrvingFebruary 28, 2015Get the house passion margarita and substitute tequila with mezcal. Also ask for chili instead of salt. Amazing!
Alexis ReusserApril 27, 2015La Palapa is a MUST if you're in Puerto Vallarta. The ambience, the staff, the beach, the food ... The MARGARITAS!!! Simply delicious!!- Brad HagerOctober 23, 2015VERY good seafood here, fish, shrimp, lobster, ceviche, all good. Great romantic dinning right on the beach, good wine and margaritas. Save room for desert, very delicious.
Steve MacNeilAugust 24, 2019I love having a margarita here. It’s relaxing and great views, right in the beach. Try the Ceviche Trio and ask for waiter CESAR!
James H.February 19, 2019Great service with beautiful views on the beach. Make reservations for larger parties always busy. Breakfast eggs.
JonesDecember 30, 2014300 peso entrees, great views, sit right in the beach but need reservations. Great cocktail drinks
Jorge GallegosMarch 10, 2015The food here is amazing but pricy! Book in advance to seat front beach and watch the beauties sunset #manchic #blogger #traveling
Great ocean front restaurant with very good food and luggage storage so you can enjoy waiting for your accomidationis or flight- Michael SheehanJanuary 2, 2015Excellent food and great service. The red snapper is excellent. A little pricey for Puerto Vallarta but worth it.
Israel AndalonMarch 26, 2012A great Romantic option is to order a table for 2 at the beach, remover your sandals and enjoy a Bottle of Wine and the great view of Vallarta Bay.
Location is excellent and all the food. It’s great for fine dining on the beach.
Seafood is great, right on the waterfront. Corona time with a twist. Saludos.
If you like mezcal, the Xaica cocktail is one of my favorite drinks in all of Vallarta.- Romantic dinner package is awesome! Best view of the mountains and spectacular service.
Susie Albin-NajeraJanuary 4, 2013Jairam was the best server and we had an an amazing breakfast, shrimp crepes and chilaquiles right on the beach.
Mz AhmadJuly 14, 2014Go for lunch. it's less expensive, not quite as busy and you can enjoy a leisurely meal with your toes in the sand.- The seared tuna dish is spectacular. Very fresh and delicious sauce.
Daisy Perez EsparzaDecember 28, 2013The best things about this place are the setting and view. Portions are small, not for sharing. Drinks are good, specially the margaritas.- Jc TrabolsiApril 23, 2014The huachinango (snapper) has been a house-favourite for over fifty years... Well worth a try ;)
Great views at sunset in the beach. Live music if local talent nightly. Very good.
David OstrowFebruary 8, 2017Very up and down in termx of service, quality of food, and attention to customers who arent regulars. ive had a couple of wonderful but many disappointments
Best guacamole I have had in my life! Key limes are used instead of limes. Amazing!!
Chase BucknerAugust 27, 2011I enjoy the lunch menu more than the dinner menu. So good and much more laid back. Try the seafood enchiladas!
Philipp NassJanuary 15, 2018I had lunch here. The outside seating is nice and the food was good. Waiters were quite slow even though there weren‘t many guests.
Their iced soy lattes are the best! Fast wifi to work on your computer!
🎵Jimmy🎶 🇮🇹Centeno🇩🇪August 18, 2010Food is excellent. Kinda pricey. Dress nice or they will look at you funny. The flies and bees this time in August was an issue. A-
- The shrimp sopes are out of this world! The best I've ever had

"One of the best, most modern beach club in town. Book in advance to get a good spot on the beach. Pool is nice with a lot of eye candy! The pizza was surprisingly salty but overall food is great."
