Not worth the price. Shared bathrooms and showers, no towels, no shampoo, and despite requests, our view was blocked by a boat with a blinking light that was left on through the night. Restaurant on the property also had terrible service. We usually are not picky about our accommodations but we would not recommend this spot.

Great stay. Amazing food here at the restaurant! Best in La Ventana? Casita was delightful and air conditioning worked perfectly. Snorkel gear, sea kayak were great. Only one working bike out of 5 so didn't get to use all the included amenities.

My boyfriend and I had a fantastic stay at Palapas! The staff was attentive, welcome, friendly, and made everything so smooth for our needs. We arrived past the check in time and it was no problem. Breakfast was delicious and special requests such as a a vegetarian option were readily available. bottomless coffee. We enjoyed fresh snapper for dinner that was caught right off shore in the evening. The Palapa that we stayed in was clean and had everything we needed- a little sink, fresh water, a comfy bed, screened porch and windows. the overall space is really special and the perfect zone to relax in. I would recommend this place in a heartbeat and cannot wait to go back again. What a special find!

Quiet, thoughtfully designed and constructed property that straddles an arroyo, with palapa/cottages on either side. Cheery. Our shower was a rain head type, but really just squirted out of part of the head, so not exactly a spa experience. Good included breakfast in the AM. The free kayaks and loads of classes or excursions seem fun.

I really enjoyed my brief stay at Palapas Ventana. My only regret is I didn't find it earlier in my trip so that I could have stayed longer. The people were friendly and full of information. The location was superb, in fact good luck finding a better location (activities, beach, natural beauty. I highly recommend.

The resort has a very friendly family style feel. Food was excellent. You can have a very peaceful stay and choose from activities like snorkeling, scuba, paddle boarding etc, They provide all gear. The individual “casita” I stayed in was comfortable and clean. The owners have created a resort that integrates with the local town. My favorite moments were watching the sunrise from the comfortable covered terrace whilst sipping my coffee (available to guests every morning from 7 am).

Next time I’ll bypass Expedia and get a better Rate People are the finest and so is the food. Isrrael makes sure his game is on. Good people 👍

Something for everyone!
We stayed at Palapas Ventana in April, and the weather was perfect. We swam with whale sharks, kayaked, dove,biked, fished, and snorkeled. Love the fact that Palpas has all the toys-no need for a rental car. Great airport shuttle, jacuzzi, pool, breakfast, comfy and clean rooms We don't kiteboard, but there was a bit of wind mid-afternoon for the sport. Palapas is well-run. Great 6 day vacation.

If you want to stay away from the hustle and bustle of the city, you’ll like this place. It’s about an hour away from La Paz but very easy to get there if you decide to rent a car. The town seems lonely and not many places to eat out but the hotel has a restaurant with good food and good prices. The huts have everything you need to have a pleasant stay. You will have views to amazing sunrise and sunsets. At night you can also go in the jacuzzi and stargaze. Also, if you plan on doing any type of ocean adventure such as whale watching ( during season), whale shark encounters, fishing trips...etc. you can book your tours onsite. Ask any staff member for Tim Halter.

A great, laid back, funky place to stay by the beach. The only negative part of our stay was the manager adding on additional charges to the Hotel.com price we agreed to online.

Casita at Palapas Ventana lacks basic comforts
The casitas are a round building with a comfortable king sized bed, a bathroom and shower are shared. The shared area was clean and well stocked but none of the showers drained so you end up standing in backed up water; kinda gross. In the casita there was an extension cord to power a couple of devices and a couple of lamps clamped on the headboard for reading, but there was no other furnishing in the room. Although there was plenty of room along the rounded walls for some simple tables there wasn't even a simple luggage rack; suitcase was on the floor. There was no bedside table; water bottle, book, cell phone were on the floor. There was no place to put clothing so you have to live out of your suitcase. There was no place to hang anything. There was a set of hooks for your towel and bathing suit to dry. There was one small, very low table on which sat a binder with information and 3 or 4 other laminated signs. There were 2 small, very high shelves that were usable for your bathroom kit. One nice thing was that they provided purified water in a 5 gallon dispenser; the tap water isn't drinkable.

Lacks some amenities
The location was pleasant enough, but the Palapas I received didn't have any restroom or sink, and not even a Mini Fridge. You have to use a communal restroom/shower, which I didn't know at the time I rented. The facilities were kept clean, however. These are the smaller Palapas, though. The larger units do come with a sink and restroom and are more self contained from what I understand. I bought a Coffee Maker and just left it in the room, hoping that they may get a hint :-).

La verdad tuvimos una experiencia super padre, sin embargo, el sistema de internet no funciono durante nuestra estancia y el area de playa no tenía palapas o no te prestaban una sombrilla, el sol está muy fuerte. Fuera de eso es muy bonito, cómodo y mágico. Muchas gracias por las atenciones.
