Palapa Papa Jack also has 2 individual suites for those guests who do not need an entire villa or for those guests who just need an extra room or two for their large family or party. Palapa Pap Jack a is named after my dear stepfather Jack, who believed in me and his investment, which has become our beloved and beautiful "Family Estate".
