Palapas Ventana

First went to PV to spear in October 2023 and knew I had to bring the family back to see this place. Went back November 2024. Honestly, it's kind of perfect. It's an adventure. The people are great. PV staff is on top of their game. The place is beautiful. I was able to really fish, and yet the whole family had a great time. There it is. I've taken my fam to 'fancier' places, but my kids say this was one of their absolute favorite trips of all. Headed back this spring.

If your bucket list has catching a Rooster Fish or a Dorado using a Fly Rod then Palapas Ventana is your dream come true. An amazing experience combining clean, comfortable Casitas, a world class restaurant, a staff that take care of your every need and Boats and Captains that cater to Fly fishing. Don't miss the rush of having a Bull Dorado take you to your backing in a nano-second or seeing s monster Pez Gallo explode on the surface Popper you just cast. An incredible experience at a very reasonable price. f

Great place, came there with my wife for spearfishing and freediving in mid May. She is brand new in freediving, but performed surprisingly well and hit new depth in blue water. Tim has built a great team of dedicated, hard working and polite people. Everyone was very helpful and accommodating Food was great and there are some great beer and wine options They will clean, freeze and cook your catch, this is important after 8+ hours being in the water, so you can take some rest. Special thanks to Manual Meno, spearfishing guide. This is the second time I dive with him and he always works hard. He goes with us in the water, spotting the fish and manages the flashers, chum and doing safety. I feel very safe diving with him. Great wild life as well, we saw dolphins, sea lions, whales, mobula rays, etc. I missed couple wahoos and red snapper, so will come next year with kids to get them! It is very safe and family friendly place. It was easy to communicate with other guests and everyone was friendly and down to Earth. People from the entire world come there. I felt the service was much better than you get in US now and people are more relaxed. Smooth transportation to and from the airport. Thank you to the entire Palapas Ventana's team, everyone was great during our stay! Denys

I visited Palapas Ventana in June with my son, and again in August with my daughter. Rode the HOT DOG train and had some tasty dogs. Managed to get a nice sized Ono. The staff is always friendly and the boat captains are knowledgeable.

We were originally scheduled to try this resort out in June 2020 but COVID hit. We rescheduled it a couple of times and finally decided to do it and get away from the cold and rain of December in the PNW. This is a small resort but we had such a better time than we would've had at a 5 star hotel. The casitas were clean and comfortable. No TV but that's what made it great! We went snorkeling, scuba diving, spear fishing, surfing in Todos Santos, and fishing. The fish we caught were brought to the kitchen and made into fresh ceviche or fish tacos for dinner. The views were amazing and the beach is steps away from the casitas. We haven't been this relaxed in years. Not just the staff but everyone in the town were so friendly and welcoming. If you're looking for authenticity and adventure, this is the place to be. I felt safe the entire time. The resort town was safer than the city. In fact, I felt safer here than in downtown Seattle. We will definitely be back!

This is our 3rd return trip and everytime just gets better. The accommodations are very unique and the staff is like a second family. Isreal hooks us up every morning with an awesome breakfast. Simone the kite instructor got me wing foiling ina couple hours. Tim the owner is very hands on and has created such a cool environment. Looking forward to our next trip
