200 ft Oceanfront, Sleeps 18, Private, Cook, Service, Swim up bar, jacuzzi

We were a family of 12 adults and 3 small children. All of us have traveled extensively and love adventure. At Las Palapas, we couldn't stand to leave! Tennis, paddle boarding, volleyball - there's plenty to do around the property but the best is simply to rotate from the ocean, hot tub, pool and hammocks and break it up a bit with Nydia's amazing cooking and cocktails. This experience is pure luxury. The photos do not do it justice! If I had to make a small complaint it would be that in the humid climate, at least our room had a faint mildewy smell at times. But everything was clean and beautiful and the staff is friendly, unobtrusive and work very hard to care for you. We've already booked to return!

Great facility. No problems.

Where to begin? Just returned from a 7 night stay at Las Palapas. We had a total of 4 families (20 people - including 12 kids- ages 8-16). Each family had their own living space, bathroom and outdoor area. Perfect accommodations for each family - especially a large group of people. Honestly, hard to chose what my favorite part of the vacation was. Between the AMAZING food Nydia and the others prepared, the delicious cocktails, kids boogie boarding on the waves at the beach, playing in the pool, taking a short walk into the town of Chacala, fishing everyday, it is very hard to chose. Every small detail has been thought of and the staff working at Las Palapas is so friendly and accommodating. This vacation will be impossible to top...it was perfect from start to finish. Thank you to Bert for opening up your beautiful home and letting us create such fun memories with our families!

My husband and I were guests of a dear friend who rented this property three years ago to cerebrate her birthday with friends and family in style. We told some friends about the property when we returned, and 14 of us just got back (February 2018) from a special fun and relaxing week. The group ranged in age from 56 to 73, from those who were non-stop active (collectively, we took advantage of just about everything including hiring musicians to serenade us on Valentine's Day, the lap pool, kayaking, sailing, whale watching boat rides, a dozen massages, golf, a "market day" outing, fierce late night board games and lots and lots of chips and guacamole) to those who mostly chilled out on the chaises, from "eat everything in sight" to food "snobs", from (almost) non-drinkers to "what time is happy hour?", from high end globe trotters to those who prefer local encounters, BUT everyone loved the week and wants to go return at some point. You really cannot do better. There is nothing negative to say about the whole experience but the best parts are: the beach/view , the staff (really lovely and, tellingly, mostly the same folks who where there three years ago), and property's highly functional layout, welcoming comfort and unpretentious feel despite the decadence of the experience away from it all.

Wonderful location, great food and service, super beach, pool, sand volleyball court, and close by tennis courts. Perfect for our 3 children, their spouses, and 6 grandchildren. Paul also helped getting some local musicians for us one night, and 5 folks had massages from a local woman. We would do this again in a heartbeat if we could get all of our families together at the same time.
