Hotel las Palmas Beach Resort

The Resort & Its Setting

Hotel Las Palmas Beach Resort is located at Km 2.5 on the Carretera Aeropuerto, right on Banderas Bay and just a couple of kilometres from Puerto Vallarta's international airport. That's the standout feature of this location: arrivals and departures are short and simple, with no long transfer across town eating into your holiday. The resort operates as an independent property but carries RCI affiliation, combining a smaller, locally run feel with access to a global exchange network.

Puerto Vallarta & What's Nearby

Puerto Vallarta is one of Mexico's long-established Pacific beach towns, known for its bay, its cobbled Old Town, and a lively, walkable waterfront. From the resort it's a short ride into the Malecón, the oceanfront boardwalk lined with sculptures, restaurants and galleries, and into the Old Town, with its plazas, artisan shops and traditional cantinas. Banderas Bay itself is right on the doorstep, and is popular for sport fishing, sailing and, in season, whale watching. Owners and renters alike use the resort as a base for day trips into town rather than staying at the resort the whole week.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at Hotel Las Palmas Beach Resort and want to sell or rent it out, BidMyTimeshare.com works as an owner-to-owner marketplace: you list your week yourself, you set the asking price, and interested buyers or renters contact you directly through the platform. There's no commission taken on the sale — sellers pay a single, one-time listing fee to advertise, and that's it.

Because the resort is independent rather than part of a large chain, resales here are typically handled through the resort's own owners' association or on-site management rather than a corporate transfer department. Before agreeing a price with a buyer, both parties should confirm directly with the resort: the current transfer fee for putting the week into a new owner's name, whether the resort or association holds any right of first refusal on a resale, how long the transfer process usually takes, and the current annual maintenance fee. A resale buyer takes on the deeded or contractual week itself and, where applicable, continued RCI affiliation for exchanges — but not any unrelated loyalty perks or promotions tied to the original purchase, so it's worth getting this in writing from the resort before closing.

What Renters Typically Look For

Renters booking a week at this resort are generally drawn by the airport proximity and the beachfront position on Banderas Bay. Clear information on unit size, view, and exact travel week helps a listing stand out, along with confirmation of what's included — RCI exchange eligibility is a selling point worth flagging if the week is being offered for exchange rather than straight occupancy.

Practical Notes for Owners and Buyers

Puerto Vallarta's high season runs December through March, when both the resort and exchange availability through RCI are in highest demand — owners planning to use or exchange their week in these months should book well ahead. The shoulder months of April–May and September–November bring quieter crowds and more comfortable temperatures, and can be easier windows for last-minute rentals. The Mexican peso is the local currency; US dollars are widely accepted around Puerto Vallarta, though paying in pesos generally goes further.
