Loved it. steak was great. My wife doesn’t like too much sauce on the fish, which it did have, but it was delicious, so I give it five stars

It was our 35th wedding anniversary so we wanted somewhere special. Haven’t eaten there several times before we chose La Bala to celebrate a special time. Today I asked my wife if anything could’ve been better and honestly, we don’t think any could be better. The service is great!, The food was great!, And as expected as such a great place sitting right on the beach. Thank you for doing such a great job. We will definitely be back.

Sitting on the beach enjoying great food and drinks is a perfect night!!! There was music playing on the pier which added to the experiences. The service was great, you didn’t feel rushed which we appreciated. Definitely a place to go!!!

The service was excellent and the food was so beautiful. The water feature definitely creates a beautiful and replaced atmosphere, it adds to the experience without being gimmicky. The staff even gave us a complimentary desert with a sparkler as we were on our honeymoon. Definitely pricey but worth it for a special occasion.

Everything here was great, every detail was thought out to make you feel comfortable. You just have to adjust the fan to your needs. Since we ate seafood and lobster, a dish was brought to wash your hands after eating. Everything was excellent and the food was great.

    My husband & I had a great dinner at La Palapa Sat night. We ate on the beach but chose the thatched awning rather than close to the water. We timed it to hit sunset just right since that's one of the major draws to the restaurant. Our server & his helper were very attentive but not too much. Items appeared & disappeared perfectly. Both were bilingual. I wish I was! I hate that I didn't get their names; I hoped it would be on the receipt but it was not. 😑 The only ID was Oper 753. The food was wonderful. We had the lobster taquitos, short ribs & lobster. No issue with the prices; we are on vacay and it was expected. Would highly recommend!
