Welcome
Welcome to La Palapa Condominio, the La Palapa Condominiums in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, we hope you enjoy your stay. Please remember La Palapa is not a hotel it is a private condo and therefore procedures, services and amenities are somewhat different. The difference is why the owners and their guests enjoy this condo building and its location. Hopefully, you will understand and come to appreciate La Palapa for its beauty, uniqueness and convenience. La Palapa feels we are welcoming you into our home.

Check-In and Check-Out: Check-in time is usually at 3:00 PM. Check-out is usually 11:00 AM or 12 Noon.. Please leave all condo keys at the front desk.

Keys: Once you check in, you will get a couple of sets of keys for the unit. Anytime you leave the building, we highly suggest that you leave the keys to the unit with the front desk person. They will give you the keys back upon your return to the building. Why take the keys with you around town and have to worry about keeping up with them? They will be safe and secure at the front desk (plus if you have multiple folks in your party – they can always get in if you all don’t arrive back together).

Security: There is someone on the front desk 24-hours per day every day of the year. Please contact them directly at any time for an emergency or if you have any questions or complaints about your stay at the La Palapa. They can also sometimes make suggestions about dining out or what cruise or tour to take. The current Administrator of the La Palapa condominiums is Mr. Christian Cortes.

Emergencies: Contact the front desk as soon as possible. Contact the front desk by dialing '0'.

Wireless Network: Most condo units now have a wireless network – it is always on. Network name and key code are usually on the back of the wifi unit (case sensitive for Key Code).

Maid Service: There is maid service every day except Sunday and Mexican national holidays. The maids will make the beds, take out the garbage, clean the bathrooms, give you fresh towels, and do general cleaning. They are not required to wash dishes, so please wash your own. It is customary to tip the maid directly before/when you leave – around $4-6 per day is now considered standard.

Water: Most units provide bottled water in the kitchen. If the plastic 20-liter bottle in the kitchen runs out, please call the front desk and order a new one. Dial “0” on the house phone to get to the front desk.

Plastic Dishes and Cups: If you are going to the pool which is located on the roof, please use plastic dishes and cups. See other Pool Rules below

Garbage: There is usually a garbage can in the kitchen. Extra trash bags are often in the cabinet under the kitchen sink. The daily housekeeping service will empty your trash once per day.

Air Conditioner: There are air conditioners in each bedroom and sometimes, but not always, one air conditioner in the living room. In order to keep the condo cool most efficiently, please close the balcony sliding door and the front door when the air conditioner is in use. Please turn off the air conditioners upon vacating the property.

Smoking: Please note that all condominiums in the La Palapa are now non-smoking, and that includes the balcony area, as well as the rooftop pool and terrace areas.

Laundry: You can take your laundry to a fluff and fold service, which is pretty inexpensive. The most popular one in this area that people use is the PVRPV Laundry Services, located at 141 Pulpito. Just go out the front door of the building, go right and then left at the first street which is Pulpito street, where Blondies bar is located on the corner. The laundry service place is about 2/3 way up the block on the left. If you take it in the morning, you'll usually get it back by the late afternoon or the next morning.

Neighborhood Noise: Remember that the La Palapa is located on the beach and in an urban area, so street noise from construction, deliveries, traffic, surf, dogs and music from restaurants and beach performers is inevitable. However, if you are disturbed by unusually loud music or noises from adjacent businesses and condo buildings, or from another La Palapa condo, please notify the front desk so an official complaints can be made.

Note: It's possible that there might be some noise due to renovations in some units in the La Palapa building during the summer months from approximately May 1-October 31.
