About this property

Luxury La Palapa Penthouse on Los Muertos Beach

The views from this luxurious penthouse are unrivaled. The wrap-around terrace provides an unobstructed 180 degree view. From the verdant mountainside to the gently lapping waves, you are in a perfect location.

Unless you plan to stay for a month, (please consider it), you will be unable to sample all of the fabulous restaurants. The gourmet restaurant, La Palapa, located on the ground floor, is the oldest and best restaurant on the beach. You are, indeed, in a paradise...both tropical as well as epicurean.

Spend the day sitting on your terrace watching the action on the beach, or sit by the large rooftop pool, sipping a cool drink. Want more daytime action? Stroll the Malecon for great people-watching. Head for the Municipal mercado, (flea market), or the wonderful shops along Basilio Badillo. Perhaps you might want to take the water taxi to Yelapa!

Without doubt, La Palapa is the best condo building on the beach. There is maid service 6 days a week, (excluding Mexican holidays), as well as 24/7 security.

This property is individually owned and managed.

Walking distance to everything downtown. Maid service excellent. Only thing wrong with this place it's hard to leave. Ya we like it.

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful condo in Puerto Vallarta. The location truly couldn’t be better — right on the beach in Zona Romántica, within easy walking distance to great restaurants, cafés, galleries, and nightlife, yet still peaceful and relaxing.The highlight for us was the stunning wraparound balcony. The views were absolutely spectacular — morning coffee overlooking the ocean and evening sunsets were unforgettable. We spent so much time out there just enjoying the breeze and the sound of the waves.The condo itself was spotless, comfortable, and thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed. It felt both luxurious and welcoming. Perfect for two people — we had plenty of space and felt completely at home.Communication with the owner was smooth and responsive from start to finish, which made the whole experience seamless.We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a special beachfront stay in Puerto Vallarta.

70th Birthday Trip

The condo is absolutely gorgeous and the location cannot be beat. We were able to sit on the balcony and enjoy the beautiful views of both the jungle and the ocean. Beds are comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. I would love to stay here again.

Condominio muy bonito!

Our stay in this condo was excellent! It has everything to prepare meals, appetizers, happy hour, you name it! The location is within walking distance to shops, restaurants and the beach. If you’re real lazy, the complex even has an elevator! The views from every patio are spectacular! The beds and bathrooms are good as well. If this place is available for your stay, book it and enjoy

Commanding Views

You will enjoy your stay at this penthouse condominium, which looks down over the beach, high enough for privacy but feeling like you are on the water. It’s a lovely building and I stood there many times. This unit is the Premier unit in the building, you will enjoy the convenient location and friendly, helpful staff. It’s so beautiful, but I find it hard to leave, but there are many things to enjoy nearby in addition to the beach.

Beach Penthouse Paradise

This was a wonderful experience, and we would definitely do it again! The penthouse is a corner unit on the seventh floor with an unbelievable view of the beach from a wraparound balcony including a hammock, table and chairs! It is very well-maintained and tastefully decorated. A joy never to be forgotten spot to chill for up to four!

Noisy year-end but beautiful place to stay

The apartment's location is at the center of everything. It offers an incredible view of los muertos beach and its activities. Year-end was very festive, and we experienced noise from various hotels and parties around us well into the night. If you are the party time and are out all night this is your place. If you want a quiet vacation then I would suggest visiting another time in the year.

Can’t wait to return!

This is our second stay at this property. The building location itself is perfect, and very central to places I enjoy going. It has a very beautiful view. The condo is nicely appointed. I had everything that I needed to make some of our own meals and we were very comfortable. The wraparound balcony is certainly a plus and the location has the best view on the beach. we stayed two weeks this time and that was perfect. I look forward to coming back next year!

LaPalapa, Right on the beach

LaPalapa corner penthouse with wrap around terrace is spectacular. Even with an extremely firm king bed, you’ll feel as though you are on the beach. If you want real sand, the LaPalapa Beach Club can rent your chairs on the beach. Kai Doyle is an amazing owner, she attends to all your requests with an email. A/c in bedroom for a great nights sleep, and big tv in bedroom. LaPalapa restaurant is excellent on the beach level.

Perfect Location

This property is located right in the center of everything and also right on the beach so for convenience of walking to restaurants and stores as well as privacy, while still being on the beach, it’s really quite perfect. The wraparound deck looking out onto the ocean makes every evening memorable. There is a full-time desk staff person for security and this makes check-in quite simple. The rooftop pool is an alternative if the beaches are crowded as they were at New Years. The kitchen is well-equipped if you are inclined to cook. I would stay here again.
