Julianna was a warm, welcoming and informative host. She was extremely responsive before and during our stay at Palapa Lulu. She accommodated our late check-in and allowed us to store our bags on our final morning so that we could explore the town unencumbered. And her welcome message was filled with useful tips for how to get around. The studio was clean, the bed was comfortable, and the location was excellent.
The listing accurately says that this is a great glamping-style space. The palapa roof protects you from weather, etc., but lets ambient noise in, so you get a full experience with crowing roosters, other birdsong, barking dogs, and music from the neighborhood from early morning into the late night. The floor fan was critical to help us sleep in the 85+ degree evenings; the studio has no air conditioning. The windows have blackout curtains but the main sliding door has no window coverings. A good pair of earplugs and an eyemask were enough for me to get a good night's sleep. All of this made for a charming stay for us, at a very reasonable price compared to staying at any of the nearby hotels or resorts. I had a good experience, but wanted future guests to be prepared.
I felt very safe during our whole stay in Punta de Mita, both walking around town and at Palapa Lulu
