Luxury La Palapa Penthouse on Los Muertos Beach

Great location, responsive host.

Wonderful corner unit, with fabulous views, in the heart of the romantic, the unit was great. Although my partner thought the master bed was too firm and slept in the guest bedroom instead

This penthouse condo is A-1 Choice. It's on the corner so it has sweeping southwest views on two sides. The kitchen is clean and well-equipped. We shopped for breakfast items it a tiny store (cash only) down the street to save money. There is plenty of seating on the veranda and a couple stools at the kitchen bar, but there is no dining set inside the condo. The primary bedroom is spacious with a great view. Crashing waves to lull you to sleep. Heads-up, the second bedroom is tight for two teenagers. Only one flight up to the rooftop pool. Do yourself a favor and on the day you arrive, go down to La Palapa restaurant and reserve chairs on the beach for the whole stay. Delicious and affordable drinks and lunch. Full-service beach-front relaxation!We will be back again!

We’ve come to this general area several times by cruise ship. We’ve always enjoyed the beach here and walking around the Malecon and looked for locations we’d like to stay. We could’ve stayed in a less expensive hotel but there probably wouldn’t have been a balcony and it would’ve been small. We could have chosen to stay at a resort but there aren’t really any near this beach in the Zona Romantica and this was an important area for us. We love it there. I was so pleased to see there were several options in the La Palapa condominiums. After much research, I chose this particular unit because it was up high, had a direct beachfront view, and had a beautiful wraparound balcony that would allow us perfect views. I can tell you that we were not disappointed in any way. If you are looking for a nice condo with a wonderful old Mexico beach theme, this will be the place for you. Even with the high humidity that we experienced in August, the winds were so fresh with the doors open. We enjoyed the spacious balcony and the beautiful sunsets and just watching the activity on the beach below every evening. The beach is literally down the elevator and out the door. There’s lots of fun shops, restaurants and bars Within blocks. Catching a water taxi is very close by. Catching a taxi to drive you to old town or other fun spots is literally out your front door. We genuinely enjoyed going to the restaurant next-door, called Swell, and using their lounge chairs. They were so kind to remember us from our previous visits and they took the best care of us. There are a lot of activities that are available for purchase from the beach. The condo was very nicely appointed. There were plenty of utensils and cooking items to cover what I needed. I would say that the second bedroom only has two twin beds. I don’t know if that meets most families needs. I don’t think I could go back with another couple because there wasn’t another room with a queen for a couple to share but for kids it would be fine. The beds are quite firm, like no bounce, but I had the best sleep I’ve had in a long time. Apparently I like a firm bed! And you can hear the waves crashing all night long. The location just can’t be beat. My husband is usually pretty picky but as we sat up on that balcony patio one evening,, he commented that this was the best vacation ever. We can’t wait to return. I wish I could afford it during high season but we hope to return next summer!!!
