Long Time Favorite Oceanfront Condo at La Palapa

Popular oceanfront La Palapa 6th floor center Condo, "Bella Solana." A long time favorite (but new listing) for its fine decoration and warm ambiance in the heart of Puerto Vallarta's most desirable areas - Old Town (the Romantic Zone) on PV's most popular beach. Condominium building with staff of 15, elevator, maid service six days per week (except Sundays and holidays), large beautiful heated rooftop pool with terrace sundeck area and panoramic views, 24 hour reception desk and security, and one of Vallarta's most popular beachfront restaurants. La Palapa condos are centrally located so it's just steps away from sidewalk cafes, galleries, fine dining spots and stores. Stroll along the beach to the Malecon boardwalk of the downtown Puerto Vallarta el Centro area with its nightlife and lively art gallery scene. 2 bedrooms with king bed in master and 2 twins in other (can be made into a king bed), each with bath, living and dining area, fully equipped kitchen, cable television in the living room, DVD/CD player, air conditioning, Bluetooth speaker, wireless internet, ceiling fans, and balcony with a spectacular view of Banderas Bay and the Sierra Madre mountains.

Very quaint and authentic
We very much enjoyed our visit. The property was ideally located so no vehicles were needed. The view was terrific and access to restaurants and the beach was outstanding. Air conditioning worked great and kept us comfortable during a very warm and humid season. The rooftop pool was so peaceful.

Wonderful location and great view!
We really enjoyed our stay at the condo! It had everything we needed including spices for cooking, a big water dispenser so we didn’t have to worry about buying water plus chairs, umbrella and many beach towels. The staff were friendly and helpful. We could easily walk to restaurants, stores and the beach. Was a great vacation and we would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful Location overlooking Los Muertos Beach in the Romantica Zone
Wonderful condo, right on the beach! Enjoy the sounds of the waves while still within walking distance of remarkable restaurants. We also enjoyed our patio overlooking La Palapa and the amazing pool on the rooftop! Daily maid service with fresh towels, beds made up and the condo tidied. Full kitchen with all the amenities, bottled water and right round the corner a bodega with wonderful chips, pico and guacamole to watch the parasailing! Air conditioning in both bedrooms made for a cool restful sleep after a day in the sun. We enjoyed another wonderful visit to Puerto Vallarta at this amazing location!

La Palapa - what a lovely place!
La Palapa is the perfect location within the Emiliano Zapata/Romantic Zone neighborhood. We love staying in this building, so we were happy to find this condo available for our trip this year. Our favorite thing about it is the breathtaking view from the balcony! Every day, we would start before sunrise and watch the town slowly wake up. Then, in the evening, catch a beautiful sunset, or see the pier lights turn on. The inside of the condo also totally exceeded our expectations. The kitchen is fully stocked (minus your own groceries), if cooking is your thing on vacation. We prefer to explore all the fantastic places to eat in the neighborhood. Our friends stayed in the 2nd bedroom and said everything was great. My husband and I had the master bedroom that also had a window with the same view as the balcony. The owner was very thorough and helpful after our booking. Everything was set up to our liking. We also were in contact with the property manager regarding something during our stay. She was very kind. The cleaning lady always had a smile on her face. The gentlemen at the front desk have been there for years and continue to be such nice and helpful guys. Each day, we also spent time at the La Palapa restaurant’s beach club right at the bottom of the building. What a lovely place!

No better location!
Our family of four had a great time here. The view from the balcony and living room/ bedroom is second to none. The pictures accurately depict the decor and view. The thing that sets this listing apart is the owner. Craig is very responsive and proactive. This is the best experience I've had renting from vrbo. We will return because of the location and peace of mind dealing with a great owner we can trust to treat us well.

La Palapa Stay
The condo was in a perfect location right on the beach so the sound of waves night and day was very soothing. The Mexican inspired condo decor was very fitting. Check in and check out were smooth. Maid service was good however the cleaning person did not knock on the door before entering the room when returning a rug that was cleaned. I really think she should be asked to knock in case residents are not prepared for her entrance. One other item we were pretty bummed about is that we weren’t notified by Craig that the rooftop pool area was being maintained for 3 months. We were really looking forward to enjoying the pool and laying out on rooftop. I’m not sure if we would have stayed at this location if we knew about the pool. Despite that, we enjoyed the condo and location.

We had the best time! We went to the beach club for five days got massages at Aura Spa (been going there for 30 years) fabulous restaurants, wonderful service our room was always clean and the people at the front desk were more than fabulous. Don’t forget to go to the pinnacle for happy hour half price cocktails can’t wait to go again next year.

All of the building staff were so friendly and helpful! Beautiful view and perfect location! We had everything we needed. The restaurant downstairs had lounge chairs and umbrellas that were perfect for us, only need to spend 500 pesos on food/beverages to enjoy, otherwise there are beach chairs provided in the condo. Many restaurants and convenient stores near by, and it is a very walkable location. We hope to return!

We loved this location so much! Best place we have ever stayed so far in our many trips to Puerto Vallarta. The condo has everything you would need and an amazing sunset for every evening to enjoy. The beach is the best by far, not a rock insight and the softest sand! We can't wait to come back and bring our boys next time! Thank you for an amazing vacation

What else can you ask for...amazing
We loved the property. Check in was fast and friendly. The balcony was large and had awesome views. Every morning we made our breakfast in the fully equiped kitchen, brewed our own coffee from the small grocer down the block....and enjoyed our view and breakfast out on the balcony. Very spacious 2 bedroom 2 bath unit. WiFi worked great for staying connected. The beach is steps away. Can't wait for go back and stay here again.

My friends and I come to La Palapa every year for our annual girls trip and I have to say that this condo was by far the best one I’ve stayed in. All the amenities were there and it was quite welcoming and cozy. The hosts were very responsive and very pleasant to interact with as well. Would definitely recommend to anyone!
