Oceanfront Penthouse at La Palapa with unobstructed views of Banderas Bay

Welcome to the penthouse and La Palapa. We invite you to enjoy our beautifully remodeled beachfront condo located in the iconic La Palapa condominium building. Our condo has 180 degree unobstructed views overlooking Los Muertos Beach and all of Banderas Bay. Only the 7th floor of this building has 11ft. ceilings! Our 2 bedroom, 2 bath corner penthouse unit is in the perfect location to enjoy everything the Zona Romantica area has to offer.

Step outside and you will find the best restaurants, bars, beach and shopping, all within walking distance. The La Palapa Restaurant happens to be one of our favorites. It is located on the main level of our building, directly on the beach. Just steps away is the Malecon, a wonderful opportunity to take a stroll...morning, noon or night.

The rooftop pool provides full sun all day as well as a covered area and bathrooms. Take a swim and relax here to enjoy 360 degree views of all of Puerto Vallarta and its mountainous backdrop. Or just sit on the beach all day at La Palapa or El Dorado for refined daytime beach service and pampering.

Enjoy a beautiful mix of traditional and contemporary Mexican furnishings. The remodeled kitchen has granite countertops and stainless steel appliances including gas cooktop, convection microwave, beverage/wine fridge. Our water is UV + double filtered at the small tap at kitchen sink & in the refrigerator. The bathrooms are remodeled and appointed with local tiles and quality finishes. The primary bath is en-suite with a huge walk-in shower. The 2nd bath has a step-in shower, custom tile, fixtures and lighting. Housekeeping service is included every day except Sunday and Mexican holidays. Isabel will make your beds, clean and help with dishes, but please try to do most dishes on your own. She will also launder the bedding and bath towels, but not beach towels or personal laundry. The washing machine works with hot water only and is great, but please shake sandy items at the beach before you come home. And please rinse sand from your feet and legs at a beach shower or the rooftop shower.

Features and amenities: Rooftop pool, elevator, 24 hour front desk/reception, AC in all rooms, WiFi, Bluetooth music system, TV, large safe in second bedroom closet, washer/dryer, coffee maker, fully stocked kitchen, maid service (not including personal laundry or beach towels), La Palapa Restaurant and beach access directly through the building.

PLEASE NOTE: May - October there will be construction noise at La Palapa, as remodeling is permitted during these months. The unit just below ours will be undergoing a remodel starting May 2024. You can spend your day upstairs at the pool or on the beach and exploring the city if the noise is significant.

We really loved our time in Puerto Vallarta and especially because of this beautiful condominium we stayed in. The only problem at all was that the concierge did not have any information on us when we tried to check in. It took a while to resolve that but it all worked out fine.

Mexico spring vacation
We had a fabulous time at LaPalapa. The condo on the 7th floor was wonderful. We miss the surf sounds and the ocean breezes. We were able to spot whales in the bay from the patio. Some were very close. We went whale watching on the last day you are allowed to go out on a boat but luckily the whales showed off just outside our patio into April. I spend every day in the warm water of the roof top pool. We were sad to come home but made some good friends and plan on returning.

Perfect location, super comfy beds and amazing views
The location was ideal for a day at the beach and easy walks to our favorite hangouts. The staff was always available to let us in and keep the keys so we never had to worry about which of us had them as we came and went. We've stayed in many rentals in PV and this one felt more spacious than some of the newer condos. One flight of stairs up to the heated pool and loungers (great naps under the umbrellas) and the views at sunset were amazing. Everything you could need is present in the condo. We've found our go to place and will always put this one at the top of the list to check when we get back to PV. So much charm and beautiful decor, with great wifi and amazingly comfy beds. There were no problems with noise, unless you don't like waking up to and going to sleep to the sound of the waves. We thought nightlife might be a bit noisy but that wasn't the case at all. The doors and windows close tightly, minimizing any extraneous sounds on those mornings we wanted to sleep in a bit. We were at our favorite beach spots in minutes and our favorite restaurants were within a couple of blocks. What a gem!

This condo is very nicely appointed with traditional Mexican decor. Located right in the heart of the Romantic Zone everything is just steps away. The hosts are very well organized, the check in process is super efficient and the condo is very clean overall. The building has a staffed 24 hour front desk !

We had an excellent experience! Loved the view and outside table, the location was spot-on. Maid service (Isabel) was wonderful and very accommodating. Agree 100% with all the other reviews. Wish we had caught on earlier to renting the lounge chairs and umbrella at Las Palapas. Excellent way to spend a full or half day.
