“One of the most awesome bars on the planet”
Reviewed December 1, 2011

There’s something about simplicity that I find very attractive. Sometimes you really don’t need much flair, decorations or anything like that. Sometimes you find a place like Palapas where you have a simple bamboo constructed bar that sits over the water with a spectacular view, and that’s really all you need.

Some friends and I came to Palapas with the intent on having a drink, checking the place out, then leaving to go do other activities. Little did we know we would open a tab, SPEND THE ENTIRE DAY there swimming in the water and having buckets of beer lowered down to us while we floated in the inner tubes. Not to mention taking a black permanent marker and writing anywhere you like that you and your friends were there.

Palapas is definitely one of my favorite Caribbean bars I’ve ever been too. The food is amazing, the drinks are tasty and the view is breathtaking. Definitely wander up North of the bridge and come visit this place. It’s absolutely worth it.
