Luxury 6th Floor Studio Romantic Zone Condo in La Palapa on Los Muertos Beach

New photos posted Fall 2023 - 8th Floor Pool and Deck renovated Summer 2023 - Unit 605

This beautiful beachfront condo was completely renovated for the 2018 season! It is located in La Palapa condominiums on the beach in one of the Zona Romantica's most iconic buildings. It has guaranteed unobstructed south facing views of Banderas Bay! Pool deck on 8 renovated summer 2023.

Please also see our other VRBO listing # 997616 and its Reviews!

All new amenities including air conditioning and ceiling fans in the sleeping area and main room to guarantee your comfort. You can watch the sunsets and the whales (in season) from your sixth floor, large, beachfront balcony that comfortably seats four. The panorama of the beach, ocean, and mountains are all in your view with plenty of tropical breezes. It has absolutely one of the best ocean views in town.

The building has a beautiful rooftop pool and gazebo on the 8th floor and the iconic La Palapa Restaurant on the beach level. Within two blocks of this perfect location are everything you need for your vacation: restaurants, bars, ATMs, currency exchange, rental cars, taxi stands, spas, shops, coffee shops, farmacias, internet, juice bars, grocery stores, and more. No car is needed as you can walk to virtually everything and the taxi stand is about 50 feet from the door. There is maid service six days per week (excluding Sundays and Mexican Holidays) and the front desk is manned 24/7 for your safety and convenience.

The condo has all the extras and was completely renovated, with an eye for detail, including local fabrics, new rugs, original art, Bose SoundLink bluetooth sound system, beach towels for your use, soap, hair dryer, cable Smart TV flat screen with Netflix and english language stations and complimentary high speed Wi-Fi internet. Everything is new: Sheets, towels, living and bedroom furniture.

There is a large airy living area with a dining bar, sitting area with sofa and chair, and a dresser for your convenience, and a floor to ceiling window wall with the awesome view of the beach and Banderas Bay. The balcony has a table that seats four - the perfect place to enjoy the PVR sunset. The sleeping area adjacent to the living area has a brand new king size bed with a floor to ceiling curtain to insure your privacy. But please note - this is a studio condo, the sleeping area is adjacent but is not a separate room from the living area. But - we've taken great care to make it as comfortable as possible for a romantic holiday!

The bathroom has been gutted and completely renovated with marble and travertine finishes. There is a purified water system for drinking water in the kitchen so there is no need for bottled water. The kitchen has new appliances but we've taken care to leave enough local touches so you know your on a Mexican vacation. We also have a notebook for you to leave with your own recommendations for the future. To maintain this high quality, pets and children under 15 are not allowed, and smoking is only allowed on the balcony. A maximum of two people can rent the unit- - no exceptions.

We also own the two bedroom unit down the hall at 602 - VRBO listing 997616. You can see we used the same care to renovate 605 and we can bundle the two properties (based on availability) if you need larger accommodations.

Come treat yourself to luxury on the beach, and you'll join our many friends and travelers who rent with us year after year.

This was a fantastic experience! Adorable condo with every amenity you could ever need! I couldn’t ask for a better location with the easiest access. The rooftop pool was amazing and the views were the best I’ve had in PV! Can’t say enough about our host Jeff. Kind and accommodating is an understatement! Jeff went above and beyond to help us with our stay, even when we had delays and issues with our arrival! I would definitely stay here again and recommend to anyone else!

I was hesitant to write this review because I understand how important reviews are to a property’s reputation. We had a wonderful overall trip to Puerto Vallarta, and there were several things about this unit that we really appreciated.The condo itself is beautiful. It was clean, thoughtfully decorated, and well-equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The owner was also responsive and initially very welcoming, even calling to check in when we arrived, which I appreciated. We had a few minor issues come up, which he addressed them quickly.That said, there were a couple of significant drawbacks that impacted our experience.The biggest issue was ongoing construction directly across the street, which was not disclosed in the listing. The noise runs from approximately 8 AM to 6 PM, Monday through Saturday, and is quite loud. One of the main reasons we enjoy staying in Puerto Vallarta is being able to open the doors and enjoy the ocean breeze, but the construction noise made that difficult throughout the day. Had we known about this in advance, we likely would have chosen a different property.Additionally, after mentioning the construction concern upon arrival, the issue was dismissed by the owner. Later, I received a demeaning message from the owner regarding my child jumping into the pool, which felt unexpectedly unfriendly and down right disrespectful. While we were there, we followed all the facility rules, and there are no rules outlined at t

Hola Courtney – Thank you for the positive comments about our condo. I worked for Hilton Hotels Corporation for 20 years on property and at the corporate level. We do our best to anticipate our guest needs to ensure they have a great stay. I do disagree that I “dismissed” your concerns regarding the construction across the street from Lapalapa. I had been on property and stayed in our condo all of December through mid-January. I was also there in March through the 18th. I explained that demolition of the old building and restaurants at the site was complete in mid-December. Tryst Hotel, the owner of the block, was building a two-story fitness center and a market on the site. All the major jackhammering and deconstruction was over but there would be intermittent noise during the rebuild and they quit work most days at 5PM. I have return guests each year that stay in January and February and I also stayed in 605. Yes, there was noise during the day but no one felt it made their stay less enjoyable. I did not post anything on the site because there were long periods that nothing was going on with this project. That said, I am a responsible owner and have posted projects that are taking place in our building that we have control of. I would have been happy to help you find other accommodations during your stay if you had requested that. Also, I do not think my message regarding your child’s supervision at the pool was “demeaning or disrespectful.” I received an email on Friday, April 10th from our administrator that there were children jumping and doing cannon balls off the raised platform at the pool. He told me a member of our staff had talked to you and I thought the issue was over. I received another email on Mon, April 13th that your child was jumping off the platform again. One of our owners was present and claims she politely asked your daughter to not to jump off the platform into the pool. The pool is only 15’ by 30’ and just 4 feet deep. It really is not safe to jump into the pool from the platform and I'm sure you must understand this would be disruptive to other guests trying to use the pool. Evidently, she then jumped off the platform again and a different owner asked you “please do not let her jump off the platform.” He tells me you replied “It’s not written on the sign with the list of pool rules that there is no jumping.” I feel this was disrespectful to the other guests at the pool. We have children stay at Lapalapa all the time and honestly, this is the first time we have ever had this problem in my ten plus years here. That said I would like to see if we can provide you with an enjoyable stay. You may have one complimentary night applied to a future stay with us. Please contact me via the VRBO site with your preferred dates and this is redeemable until 1 May 2027. Gracias, Eric Newcomb

Great location!

This unit is located directly on the beach, giving you great views and the ability to hear the ocean as you fall asleep. There can be excessive noise outside, as others likely mentioned, but was a trade off I was willing to make in order to be in the beach and within walking distance to tons of bars, restaurants, etc. Check in was super easy and staff at the condos were very friendly.

I had a wonderful stay at this property. I was amazed how close to the beach and local dining it was. The only thing that was not top rated was quietness. You are so close to the ocean that you hear the waves. But is that really a bad thing if you choose to stay near the beach.

He also has a great selection of media content available to watch on the television. The maid, Isabella is a wonderful lady and very helpful.

Great location with beach view and ocean breeze

Can't beat the location next to the beach and easy walking to all the places we like to go. The view looks over Los Muertos Beach, the ocean, and neighborhoods to the south. There was a fantastic ocean breeze through the unit every afternoon, and you can hear the waves crashing throughout the day. The building is charming and well-maintained. The rooftop pool area is updated and super clean; perfect for relaxing on non-beach days. Everyone we met was friendly and there seems to be a good community of regular residents. The unit itself was well-equipped with all the essentials we needed and the bed was quite comfortable. It's in a lively area, and street noise started early every day - but thankfully the restaurant and bar sounds dropped at a reasonable hour every night for peaceful sleep.

Great location. Nice unit. A lot of construction in the building. My only complaint is there should be lounge chairs on the balcony to enjoy the view. There’s a table and four chairs that weren’t comfortable. I would recommend for a single or a couple. There was an issue about an iron. Totally my fault for not reading instructions. However, owner called me and it was cleared up immediately. Very responsive.

About the host

Hosted by Eric Newcomb

Host profile image
Mark and I are from Dallas TX and looked for a vacation home not far away. Puerto Vallarta is a two hour flight from DFW or 3 hour trip on Southwest with a stop in Houston. We absolutely love Puerto Vallarta. The people are so friendly (and happy) and not speaking Spanish is not a problem. The locals love having tourists there and it is safe and secure. We've traveled the world but Puerto Vallarta is now one of our favorite places!

We purchased #602 in 2015. It is a two bedroom (VRBO 997616) and jumped at the opportunity to purchase the this studio down the hall when it came on the market.

We know you will love staying here as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

La Palapa is right on the beach and guaranteed to never have an unobstructed view. The staff is awesome and already at your service. The location can't be beat - all of PVR is outside your doorstep. There are only 7 units per floor surrounding and open air atrium. It's a quiet and relaxing destination for your vacation.

What makes this property unique

Newly and completed renovated - everything down to the silverware is new! Sheets - towels - furniture - - all first rate. Eric works in the hospitality industry and seems to have thought of everything. There's even a guest information book with all you need to know for your visit. The front staff is manned 24/7 and access to the building is closely monitored.

We get high marks from our guests for the attention to detail. There are power strips that include USB outlets on each nights stand. There's a lighted makeup mirror and the lighting has been thoughtfully laid out in each room.
You will have absolutely no regrets deciding to stay with us!
