Palm from Mexico - help identifying!

[Morgan Alohilani]

Hello everyone. I’ve bit the bullet and made an account. Although I’ve followed for a while now I’ve never had the need to post until now! I need your help to identify this Palm… my wife and I were on a trip near Sayulita in Mexico. Where we were staying had these incredible massive palms.

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen anything like it. The palm branches were much larger than I can put into words and the one my wife is next to looks like it was young. It’s almost like they were prehistoric looking. My first thought was raffia because I know how long their branches can get but they all looked much less lush to me in pictures and I’m not sure they’re native to Mexico?
I have searched far and wide trying to identify this palm and am hoping someone here can I help me out.

For reference, my wife is about 5’6 

I’ve included closeups of the seeds too

Possible Elaeis Oleifera?

To me, it looks like a species of Attalea.

Perhaps Attalea speciosa?

Anyone know where I can get two or three of these? I’m in zone 10b and have a massive back yard

While there might be someone growing them closer to you, The Nature Touch and Muni Farms, both in Homestead. FL have unidentified Attalea sp. in the 25 or 45 gallon size (7 footers).
