Testimonial:
“We spent 8 days at the Palapas Resort over the New Years holiday. The village of La Playita is quaint and quiet with a couple decent restaurants and tiendas. The house is a short walk to the beach and marina and a cheap cab ride to San Jose del Cabo where you will find a good variety of restaurants. The house was perfect for the 5 couples that stayed here. Everyone had their own privacy and the kitchens were large enough to make and share meals together. The view from the infinity pool at sunset is breathtaking. We didn’t do any fishing, but you could easily pick up a boat within walking distance from the house. Definitely going to go back.”

Map & Owner's Profile
Palapas Resort – One & Only an Eclectic Bohemian Resort Inn
Year Purchased: 2000
Why the Owner Chose Puerto Los Cabos
Actually I didn’t buy the property, I built Palapas around 2000. I selected the area because of what it has to offer. Los Cabos has all the conveniences here that you will find in the States. The beaches are some of the finest you will find in the entire world, and I have traveled quite extensively. The water is warm and of a beautiful color, while the diving in various local areas is excellent---Also a great area for surfing. The views of the mountains and ocean are incredible. And of course, we must not forget the fantastic fishing. The Mexican government has provided and is maintaining fish sanctuaries to help the propagation of the fish population. Fishing is an important resource here. All in all, there is no better place to be…
Oops, I forgot about the golf courses and night life...the best !!

Palapas resort is in the quaint fishing village of La playa in Puerto Los Cabos. Named a Bohemian Resort by the owner, John, Palapas is just that: a perfect place to set free the Bohemian in all of us. Travelers , artists, sport fishing enthusiast, surfers , beach combers, families or those who just want to strip away the corset of their 21st century life for a few weeks and relax without worrying if you tipped someone enough or if wearing flip flops’ in the lobby is no no. My husband and I enjoyed a relaxing yet adventurous week at the Resort. We stayed in the Juan Pesco Pad that was nicely appointed , with plenty of room for two couples. The accommodation was better than advertised The resort would be a perfect place for a small destination wedding party or family gathering as the property achieves both privacy and relaxed open community spaces such as the pool , outdoor kitchen and gardens. Town and the harbor are close. The owner was easy to work with and very attentive. Getting to the resort from the San Jose del Cabo, Baja California Sur, Mexcio (SJD) airport by Taxi was easy and inexpensive. We will defiantly return…and the price is right!
Recommended for:Adventure seekers, romantic getaway, sightseeing, age 55+, families with teenagers, girls getaway, families with young children.

For our fishermen friends, we have added a freezer to freeze and store your fresh fish and a “Food Saver” to seal the fish before freezing and to keep the fish from freezer burn. Please bring your own rolls of material to seal your fish. If your have any questions, please contact me. Also, please note that the Panga boats are just a short walking distance from Palapas. Enjoy your stay!
