Five stars for the Palapa House
This was my fourth stay at the Palapa House. I lived in Belize for 18 years and had always recommended the Palapa House to family and friends. I since return every year to visit old friends. The grounds and pool have always been spotless, it's exceedingly private and the rooms are immaculate and well furnished. There is not an on site property office but a manager is available 24/7. Highly recommend.

This property was in a perfect location!! Orlando was always available when needed and would check on us frequently. The place could use a gooooood cleaning. Ex- the bathroom tub/walls/area around toilet needs done “elbow grease” (smile) the knobs in kitchen kept falling off. The sofa being fabric holds odor and germs. The floor could have been cleaned better but in all honesty we would stay again!! There were plenty of towels, soap etc! The internet went in and out but Orlando was there right away to troubleshoot! The window in the bathroom allows someone to look into the bathroom if they are on the stairs next to the window! My suggestion would be a curtain for those that need just a lil more privacy Again we would stay at the PH again!!!

Perfect location for walking to bars, restaurants, and excursion boats. Clean and comfortable. Great view. Love the little outdoor area for eating and the small pool to cool off in, which was quite adequate for only nine units. Decent response time on questions to staff. Only thing lacking, which is being very nitpicky I realize, were ice trays and salt and pepper. I did ask and receive the ice trays very quickly, though. Bought my own salt and pepper which was cheap and easy to attain, so no big deal. If I came back to Belize, this would be my first choice.
