What is a palapas?

Similar to an umbrella in the sand - it is a palm thatched roof no sides structure

Darlene, your favorite palapas in SoWal is the one at Pandora's. 😀

Miegsart, I suppose you could always phone Pandora's and ask who built theirs.

There was a girl in town who built them, but I haven't seen her in the last year.

I don't mean this in a bad way, but I bet you could find some Mexicans down there that would know how.

fwiw, a palapa could be as detailed(large) as pandora's deck.

Charlie Galloway use to build them. He did Pandoras. They use to be everywhere but went out with sun britches 😀

Nothing an evening under Pandora's palapa won't cure. (Throw in a little Waco and stir.) ;-)
