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.

We had a really great stay and would absolutely come back. The location is one of the best parts, super easy to walk to both the beach and into town, with tons of great restaurants nearby. It sits on top of La Palapa, where we enjoyed many meals and their beach club service. Top notch.The host was incredibly responsive, which made everything feel smooth and easy from start to finish. The place itself was spotless, and having daily room service was such a nice touch. It always felt fresh and well taken care of.The on site condominium staff was friendly and attentive, and we felt very safe the entire time. And the views are easily a highlight, especially at sunset.Overall, it’s a really well-appointed place with thoughtful, quality amenities that made it feel comfortable right away. Would definitely stay here again!

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.
