What We Offer (and a little bit about what we don't offer)

Our intent is to offer the discriminating traveler a quality small hotel in a rather remote ocean and beach area, away from the usual tourist congestion, with emphasis on tranquility, privacy, solitude and the natural ambience of the ocean.

Hotel Las Palmas is a quiet respite for the soul. We have no television and no telephones. We do, however, have a CD player in each of our guest suites if the sounds of the ocean waves get too monotonous for you. We don't have a disco or a loud cantina to interrupt your rest and relaxation. We do have a very nice lobby bar where you can have a nightcap before retiring to your sumptuous quarters.

We have nature at your doorstep to enjoy. The hotel has manicured grounds for you to wander around and it's own "private beach" just 35 yards from your front door. We are not wheelchair accessible, and we do not accommodate bookings for children under the age of 18.

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, youll not only encounter a spectacular view of the Pacific, but are welcomed into the common areas of Hotel Las Palmas. Here youll 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 youll find Caf 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 Caf, youll encounter the winding sidewalk, passing the pristine swimming pool with the infinity edge feature. The pools 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.

Or, you could ride your Schwinn cruiser bike thats been provided by the hotel to visit the Barra de Potos fishing village. There youll 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 youre the adventurous type, you might even rent your own canoe for a little exploring!

Theres 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.
