About this property

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.

    Here is a video walk through of the condominium: https://youtu.be/6H_KHLbX1PY?si=VevEffikRXlaNSX8

    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 may be construction noise at La Palapa, as remodeling is permitted during these months. You can spend your day upstairs at the pool or on the beach and exploring the city if the noise is bothersome.

Perfect Location, Clean and Comfortable

From the time of booking to our departure from La Palapa 701, we could not have been happier. The owners were communicative but just to the right degree; the property itself was in a perfect location for us; the neighborhood had all amenities we needed; check in was simple and surprisingly quick; and most importantly, we made the best memories. We would recommend this property one-thousand times over and hope to stay again our next time in PV.

The property was nothing short of amazing! Great views, everything was within walking distance, and taxis were always in the area if you wanted to venture out. The area felt safe, even late at night, and everyone was friendly! The host was great in communicating and being helpful with anything we may need for our stay. Will definitely be back!

Girls Trip

We come, as a group to La Palapa every year, this condominium is the nicest I’ve stayed in, it located within walking distance to some great shops, excellent restaurants and some fun nightlife. The hosts were wonderful, the property was lovely and very comfortable. I slept really well, which I don’t usually on strange mattresses and pillows. The kitchen is well appointed and the cleaning people are excellent.

The best view in Puerto!

I’ll be staying here from now on when I visit Puerto, the view is amazing, very clean, very quiet, very relaxing. The unit is well stocked with everything you could need, and there are stores to purchase water- beer- liquor- wine- all within about 100 feet away. The restaurant is very convenient- a bit expensive, but excellent food and service. Definitely recommend this rental and will definitely book again!

Amazing view. Everything is exactly like the pictures and video. Beautifully decorated. Very comfortable and spacious. We had everything we needed and more. Restaurant downstairs and next door were wonderful. Everything that we were interested in was walkable. It was hot outside, but a/c units worked well. Although we didn’t, we had everything we needed to cook a meal. Front desk was great. Pool is one flight up with stairs right outside the front door. Pool area is clean, calm, and quiet, although the pool is rather small. I usually had the entire deck to myself. This was a great choice.

Fantastic!

I stayed here with my family of four and we all just loved it! The location is perfect. Just steps from the beach, outstanding restaurants and just a floor away from the spacious rooftop pool. The views outside the private veranda is amazing too. We’ve never taken so many sunset pictures with a perfectly placed palm tree that just sets the mood. Can’t wait to be back here!!
