Hotel Las Palmas was designed and built to blend with and embrace the natural beauty of the area. The uncrowded beach, the pounding surf and the expansive ocean are the intentional focal points from every vantage point of the hotel.

Built on a slight elevation to enhance the views, Hotel Las Palmas is an impressive two story structure of smooth, ergonomically friendly walls, expansive wood beams, circular stairwells and towering palapa (thatched palm fronds) roofs. The craftsmanship of the huge circular ceiling was made entirely by hand. This is not your ordinary thatched roof.

Entering the lobby, you’ll not only encounter a spectacular view of the Pacific, but are welcomed into the common areas of Hotel Las Palmas.

Here you’ll find a generous lending library and a spacious and comfortable common area directly adjacent to the lobby bar. This is, of course, a full service bar, which offers all patrons a wonderful vantage point to look out at the ocean while sipping on a cool one. The lobby bar is open from 8 A.M. until 10:30 P.M.

As you pass through the lobby bar you’ll find Café Luna Azul, Hotel Las Palmas’ own restaurant. Open for breakfast from 7:30 until 11:00, lunch hours are 11:00 until 4:00 and dinner served nightly from 6 P.M. until 9:30. For visitors not staying at Hotel Las Palmas, dinner is available with advanced reservation only.

Continuing on your tour of Hotel Las Palmas and the Café, you’ll encounter the winding sidewalk, passing the pristine swimming pool with the “infinity edge” feature. The pool’s elongated design has ample length for exercise laps, an unobstructed view of the ocean, a submerged sunning bench, swim up bar and ample shade for those who prefer not to “work” on their tan. We provide lounge chairs and thirsty pool towels for our guests.

And now, on to your room! Hotel Las Palmas has 6 guest suites available. Two are located on the upper level of the hotel (these do not have air conditioning) while there are four downstairs (equipped with remote controlled air conditioners). Each room has a somewhat different layout, however, all boast the same amenities.

The interiors of the rooms are appointed with king size beds, cd players, comfy robes for lounging around and programmable mini safes for your individual security. The bathrooms are spacious, with double sinks, large mirrors and each shower offers a view of the ocean as well.

Your private terrace is provided with a hammock built for two and table and chairs in case you want to enjoy breakfast or cocktails on your own terrace.

Activities

The beauty of staying at Hotel Las Palmas is that you can be as active or as inactive as you choose. Nearby (5 miles) is a small mountain named Guamilule (wah-me-LOO-lay) where you can hike to the top (guide optional) and get a bird’s eye view of the entire Barra de Potosí bay. Or, you could ride your Schwinn cruiser bike that’s been provided by the hotel to visit the Barra de Potosí fishing village. There you’ll find seaside restaurants offering fresh seafood, hammocks and a protected cove for swimming. With 24 hours notice we can connect you with an English-speaking guide who takes guests on lagoon kayak tours for bird and wildlife watching. If you’re the adventurous type, you might even rent your own canoe for a little exploring!

Things to do within an hour’s drive include but are not limited to: renting a fishing charter for the day, sailing, snorkeling or sunset cruises, jungle tours in nearby Troncones, day trips to the nearby city of Petatlán (where there’s a gold market and famous church), shopping in Zihuatanejo (Lupita's clothing for women is one of our personal favorites) or visiting some of the other beaches in Ixtapa or Zihuatanejo. There’s horseback riding on the beach, right in front of the hotel; sunset rides are especially popular. A day trip to Playa Las Gatas for snorkeling is always a fun day. And for you golfers, there are two courses in Ixtapa to challenge your skills. Prefer to stay at the hotel and be pampered? We have manicurists, pedicurists and masseuses on call. With a 24 hour notice we can arrange whatever your needs call for. It’s your holiday and you’re here to relax and unwind. The choices are literally endless. We’re here to help you in whatever plans you want to make.
