Hotel Las Palmas is located on an open crescent beach named Playa Blanca, away from the communities of Zihuatanejo and Ixtapa, and only 10 minutes from the international airport. Playa Blanca is sparsely populated with very little development, virtually no commercialism and is accessible by a single dirt road through the area. Coconut palms and occasional residences dot the tranquil shoreline, where cattle and goats outnumber human inhabitants. It is distinctively quiet and peaceful.

Although Playa Blanca fronts the open Pacific Ocean, land massed on either end of the curved beach give the appearance of a large bay. Centered out in the ocean is an irregular cluster of rock islands called Los Morros de Potosí that lends special interest to the view.

Hotel Las Palmas sits on 2.5 acres with 100 meters being beachfront, and no development on either side of the property. The Hotel was built on a gentle elevation to allow a spectacular 180-degree view. The ocean facing is southwest, so the sun sets directly into the sea in all but the summer months. The backdrop on the landside consists of natural pastures, tropical groves and fresh water estuaries with the majestic mountains of the Sierra Madre del Sur in the background. Indeed, Hotel Las Palmas is all about nature, tranquility and solitude.

Specifically, Hotel Las Palmas is 6 miles from the Zihuatanejo-Ixtapa airport, 13 miles from Zihuatanejo, 18 miles from Ixtapa, 25 miles from Troncones and 4 miles from the tranquil and unspoiled fishing village of Barra de Potosí.
