Wonderful location. Beautiful sunsets and watching storms roll in across the bay. Central to everything. Perfect for us. Pool was great for a mid morning swim or an evening plunge. The elevator was out for a couple of days and when you're on an upper floor and it's 90 degrees out, it can be challenging to do go up and down multiple times daily, but that happens from time to time. Obviously that is not the fault of the location - just an inconvenience that was managed well. Overall a wonderful experience in a condo building that we love and we have stayed in other units previously. Front desk is always available and present. Highly recommend this location.

Nothing short of magical

That is what this place is : from the views of the sunset, to the ease of check-in and communication with everyone, to the helpfulness of the cleaning staff and the door guy when minor things are needed. Everything just goes smooth and the only thing you need to do is relax and enjoy. That’s all !

The views are outstanding, sunsets stunning. The restaurants in the area are incredible. We have stayed at this property before with other hosts and this one is the top of our list. Craig provided more information than expected that was extremely informative. We would definitely return. Thank you for sharing your condo with us :)

Perfect Location!!!!

This condo was exactly what my husband and I were looking to stay in for our holiday trip!! Located in the heart of Los Muertos beach right on the beach we couldn’t ask for more. We sat on the balcony having mimosas and people watched. The sound of the ocean waves at night provided for a relaxing sleep. The part of it all was the location. We’d walk down to the many restaurants, bars and bakeries. We will definitely stay here again!!!

Excellent vacation condo

From the moment we booked this condo at La Palapa, we knew we made the best decision because of the excellent communication with the host. This was our first visit to PV. The condo is amazing, with the best view (location) We especially appreciated the comfortable deck to view the beach and all the activity. We were amazed and grateful that there was bottled water!!! Appreciate the guys at the front desk which were friendly and helpful. Our amazing week was definitely enhanced by choosing La Palapa condo to stay.

We really enjoyed our stay at the condo! It had everything we needed including spices for cooking, a big water dispenser so we didn’t have to worry about buying water plus chairs, umbrella and many beach towels. The staff were friendly and helpful. We could easily walk to restaurants, stores and the beach. Was a great vacation and we would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful Location overlooking Los Muertos Beach in the Romantica Zone

Wonderful condo, right on the beach! Enjoy the sounds of the waves while still within walking distance of remarkable restaurants. We also enjoyed our patio overlooking La Palapa and the amazing pool on the rooftop! Daily maid service with fresh towels, beds made up and the condo tidied. Full kitchen with all the amenities, bottled water and right round the corner a bodega with wonderful chips, pico and guacamole to watch the parasailing! Air conditioning in both bedrooms made for a cool restful sleep after a day in the sun. We enjoyed another wonderful visit to Puerto Vallarta at this amazing location!

La Palapa - what a lovely place!

La Palapa is the perfect location within the Emiliano Zapata/Romantic Zone neighborhood. We love staying in this building, so we were happy to find this condo available for our trip this year. Our favorite thing about it is the breathtaking view from the balcony! Every day, we would start before sunrise and watch the town slowly wake up. Then, in the evening, catch a beautiful sunset, or see the pier lights turn on. The inside of the condo also totally exceeded our expectations. The kitchen is fully stocked (minus your own groceries), if cooking is your thing on vacation. We prefer to explore all the fantastic places to eat in the neighborhood. Our friends stayed in the 2nd bedroom and said everything was great. My husband and I had the master bedroom that also had a window with the same view as the balcony. The owner was very thorough and helpful after our booking. Everything was set up to our liking. We also were in contact with the property manager regarding something during our stay. She was very kind. The cleaning lady always had a smile on her face. The gentlemen at the front desk have been there for years and continue to be such nice and helpful guys. Each day, we also spent time at the La Palapa restaurant’s beach club right at the bottom of the building. What a lovely place!

No better location!

Our family of four had a great time here. The view from the balcony and living room/ bedroom is second to none. The pictures accurately depict the decor and view. The thing that sets this listing apart is the owner. Craig is very responsive and proactive. This is the best experience I've had renting from vrbo. We will return because of the location and peace of mind dealing with a great owner we can trust to treat us well.

La Palapa Stay

The condo was in a perfect location right on the beach so the sound of waves night and day was very soothing. The Mexican inspired condo decor was very fitting. Check in and check out were smooth. Maid service was good however the cleaning person did not knock on the door before entering the room when returning a rug that was cleaned. I really think she should be asked to knock in case residents are not prepared for her entrance. One other item we were pretty bummed about is that we weren’t notified by Craig that the rooftop pool area was being maintained for 3 months. We were really looking forward to enjoying the pool and laying out on rooftop. I’m not sure if we would have stayed at this location if we knew about the pool. Despite that, we enjoyed the condo and location.
