I had high expectations going there, but had no idea that it would be so magical.The team that looked after us was amazing. Every detail was attended to, and they were so very kind and thoughtful. Meals were spectacular and beautifully served. Dietary restrictions (severe nut allergy) was professionally managed and never even a slight concern. The food was 5 star and some of the best meals I have had while traveling in Mexico. The beach was so fun for the young families to explore and the pool was warm and comfortable, even for the baby. The accommodations are well thought out and there is space for everyone to be together when you want to, or quiet time when you just want to rest.We can't wait to go back in the future!Thanks again, Las Palapas team. You really are what makes the whole adventure unforgettable. ##### Cindy P. Stayed 8 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gae A.

Reliable service. Good was amazing, receptive to discussion. Just make sure to figure out exact check in - no way to leave bags at property early and there is a 1h time difference between airport and location, so when I organized to come a bit earlier (which they were flexible with!)

There is a small, private beach right next to the property and a safe area for snorkeling right in front of the house. We were there for our 50th wedding anniversary with our whole family of 13, including 5 children. This fabulous place was perfect for all ages. The kayaks, paddle boards, snorkeling equipment were fabulous to have and so easy to use. There are tennis courts and a pickle ball court nearby. Walking from the house in the Chacala Marina area is beautiful. The staff was exceptional -- lovely people and superb cooks. It was the most relaxing vacation we've ever had and we are so grateful to Bert for having created this marvelous place. ##### Susan Z. Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Teveia B.

Ever Las Palapas is an oasis and perfect setting for a relaxing vacation with family and dear friends. We were 11 in total, including a 2-year-old. Adult ages ranged from 35 to 73. Having the main house and 2 casitas, each with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, gave us the space to spread out if we needed private time, and community spaces to relax and party. The food was exceptional, and included breakfast, lunch, happy hour with drinks and appetizers, and dinner. Having the cleaning services every day, also made it more like a spa. Juan was available the entire time to drive us around, including to Sayulita and the airport, as well as taking us on his boat for snorkeling. All agreed that Las Palapas will be our go-to place in Mexico! ##### Teveia B. Stayed 7 nights in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kellie M. Feb 21, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful beachfront vacation Las Palapas was an amazing home with helpful kind staff. Photos of the property looked great, but it is even better in person. Wonderful private spaces for sleeping and great large places to gather and to eat together. We had dinner in town one evening, but all other meals were prepared by Sandra and the rest of the staff--food was always delicious--better than eating out. The staff kept the house spotless. Nidia, the house manager was always ready to help and answer any questions. We did two boat trips with Juan, seeing humpback whales one day (amazing!!) and snorkeling another day which was also great. Transportation to/from the airport, arranged through Juan was easy. Chacala is at least 1 1/2 hours from Puerto Vallarta airport. It is a tiny town, so no night life or shopping--however, Las Palapas has all you need. The food, house and property, beach, swimming pool and hot tub were all great. Everyone in our group had wonderful time. Amazing indoor/outdoor living. As long as you don't need the hustle and bustle of town, you will love this place! ##### Kellie M. Stayed 7 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mary O. Jul 5, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful Location and Really Nice Staff All in all, this is a wonderful location if you want to just spend your time going from pool to beach and then back again. Very remote location with gorgeous scenery. We really loved the food that was prepared for us by Nydia and her very nice staff! The house is very nice but to be honest, could use a little TLC-nothing to ruin your vacation-this is just an fyi. The master ceiling leaked during a rain storm-we just adjusted the location of the bed. The air conditioners work well but do dump a lot of condensation on the floor-which can be a surprise in the night (my grandsons say) and make for a slippery floor. The jacuzzi is starting to show some wear and tear and the pool bar could use a new fridge. The cement floors are very slippery when wet-but the little ones learned quickly not to run! I am not trying to sound nit-picky; as a traveler I just like to be aware of this stuff to set my expectations correctly. Also, the traffic was really bad-which isn't anyone's fault-just a note. We had planned on visiting a few other places but after sitting in traffic for 2 hours on the way to Sayulita, changed our goals. It's not like swimming in the warm Pacific is a terrible choice! So, Bert's house and location are awesome. Still 5 stars but with some minor issues. My family had a great time just hanging out and plenty of room to get away from each other when they wanted alone time. ##### Mary O. Stayed 8 nights in Jun 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeff R.

Beautiful property with so much to do including just hanging out by the pool. The food and staff were wonderful! Juan guided several fishing trips and we had great success! Highly recommend it for family or friend gatherings. ##### cynthia w.
