This is certainly eye opening palapa information :

"We booked for the whole week about a month prior to arriving. We were there for President's Week, so I figured it would be a bit chaotic, and it was. I was VERY happy we booked it. It seemed that reserving one the night before was tough...they keep a certain amount for the morning system.

It sure was a lot. We did get a day free and four bottles of water a day with it. Came to about $230 for the week. But, let me tell ya...if we didn't have the palapa, we would've been right on top of the gazillion other people on the beach. It was NUTS!! You do not have to pay if you reserve one in the morning. There are also different prices depending on which 'row' of the palapas you are in. We were in the 2nd row.

The sun was also so hot, it was a pleasure to have shade to hide under after 20 minutes or so."
