Palapa Beach Club (La), Centro

Guests at Las Alamandas as well as tourists to this beautiful city can enjoy some local cuisine at this quaint restaurant. A huge, thatched umbrella shades the eating area, where one can relax after a dip in the sea. Work on your tan by reclining on one of the beds, or, if the sun is too hot, slide up to the beach bar and swirl your drink as you watch life idle by. Hammocks are available for those who'd like to laze under the fronds, while kids can have loads of fun at the boogie boards. Dig into a hearty lunch in your swimwear; it can't get more casual than this. Private parties can witness mariachis and bonfire nights too.
