Punta de Mita Hotels | Places to Stay in Punta de Mita

August 17, 2022 Terina Blouin

Yearning for the laidback feel of a rural fishing village with white sand beaches, combined with the luxuries and mild year-round weather of the Mexican Riviera? Punta Mita has all this plus championship golf, diving, sport fishing, surfing, sailing, sea kayaking, whale watching, mountain biking, hiking, horseback riding, Jeep tours, and rainforest excursions. Walk into town for beachfront restaurant dining and Pacific Ocean sunsets. Kids can safely swim at Playa El Anclote, where the rock jetties calm the shallow waters near restaurant row. Surf El Anclote’s long slow waves. Or seek out those special surfing spots along the coast, like near Punta Sayulita. Enjoy kayaking. Take the family sailing. Tee off overlooking the breezy blue waters of the Pacific Ocean at the Jack Nicklaus-designed Pacifico Course, rated among the best in Latin America. Pacifico is renowned for its optional 19th hole, the “Tail of the Whale,” a 199-yard par-three where you tee off over the Pacific Ocean onto a large island green. The Bahia, another Nicklaus-designed championship course, has six ocean holes, and is lined by beach sands and gated resort properties controlling course access. The Bahia Banderas (Bay of Banderas) and north towards Sayulita is great for fishing and diving volcanic tunnels, or just watching whales, dolphins, turtles, and ocean birds. Snorkel color-splashed shallow reefs. Spend a day on a ponga, a motorized open-bow fishing boat in search of mahi-mahi (dorado), pugnacious pargo (big cubera snapper), Pacific sailfish, fighting roosterfish, yellowfin tuna, and bonita. From Islas Marietas and El Morro to La Corbetena and El Banco, the diving opportunities are numerous.

Pretty, but leaves MUCH to be desired

Reviewed By Lori A

It is a very pretty resort. However, there is an old and new building, and you can tell they don't treat the people in the old building the same. (They explained they were old membership-holders, which IMO, is not good business) NO HOT WATER to the old building (they said it was too far from the boiler), strict limitations on change made at the front desk (max $50/day- I have never seen this in my 5+ stays in PVR), the drinks tasted watered down, and the food was overpriced to not be that remarkable. I would not stay here again.

DO NOT BOOK. Trust the bad reviews.

Do not go if you have mobility issues or traveling with a stroller. Very disappointing. Horrible attitudes all around. Unprofessional managers. Poor beach with lots of rocks and big boulders making it impossible to swim without getting knocked into a big rock and tearing legs

It’s beautiful but..

Reviewed By Larryanq72

This place was a breath of fresh air coming from villamagna in terms of quality of the rooms and food. The rooms are beautiful, staff is attentive, but the elevators are FAULTY!! There are only 2 to use for whole resort and only 2 people are allowed on them at a time, and we’re pretty convinced it’s not a COVID precaution. The first time we were on the elevator it stopped pretty abruptly and made a loud sound (terrifying) the second time my boyfriend was on the elevator alone and it as he was going down to the 4th floor the stopped so abruptly that it jolted his neck and back. At that same time the elevator doors would not open. He kept pushing the “emergency” number and no one could speak English, he ended up prying the doors open himself to get off!! Because there’s only 2 elevators and that one wasn’t working, he ended up hiking up 2 flights of stairs injured to notify me and whoever else he could find to let them know so someone else doesn’t get hurt again. Could you imagine an elderly person?! I called the front desk 5 times to report this and it just kept ringing!! We were finally able to get ahold of security to make an incident report and he was seen by a doctor there who did treat him for pain. The staff reordered our dinner and sent it to the room which was nice since we were in the midst of dinner when this whole debacle happened. Aside from that this place is a ton of walking, so if you have a back injury or bad knees etc, I do not recommend it. The preferred area was packed full of people so If you want a spot by the pool, get there early as chairs are limited. We were also shocked that COVID testing was not included.. we paid $70 for 2 rapid tests. We also bought into the travel club (12k later) and we’re really hoping the next experience we have here doesn’t involve an orthopedic injury.

RELAXING STAY

Beautiful resort with excellent customer service. The rooms were well appointed and staff were friendly and attentive. Loved our stay and will definitely return in the future. Food was good too. Only downside is the lack of entertainment on the property, but you can always leave the resort and visit neighboring areas.

Keeping the standards the same

Reviewed By Klara F

I have been coming to this hotel several times for the past 8 years and it has rarely disappointed me, except once when there was a rude front desk guy. The problem has been resolved by his manager as soon as I complained, which says a lot about the management of the hotel. I have visited this resort many times with my family and two times alone to recharge myself after a difficult year at work. Coming alone as a woman was no problem, though staff kept asking if I am here with my family. I think they could refrain from asking about the family. People have different reasons to have holidays, with or without family. Other than that, I felt safe and had my quiet time enjoying the beach and food. Good thing about Iberostar is that it keeps up with its standards. The ground is well maintained, staff seem fairly happy to work here and is very friendly. They changed a few things. They cleaned up around the pond where there was a toy crocodile. Crocodile is gone, to the disappointment of kids and parents, I think. There are new plants I have noticed. What I wish for: I wish they have more food choice on the beach as the distance between the hotel and swimming pool buffet is quite far to make the trip just to get some food. I also think they need another towel station near the beach and not just one station near the pool far away from the beach. I wish they offered Gluten Free options such as GF bread or pure corn tacos clearly labelled. Overall, happy to return to this place and I certainly will in December WITH my FAMILY?

Beautiful resort secluded in Paradise!

Reviewed By JeremyBStevens

We stayed for a week as a married couple enjoying some R&R. The rooms were very nice with every appointment you could ever need. We had twice a day maid service. The resort is rather large and built on a hill so long walks is commonplace here. The service at the beach, lazy river, and adult pool is identical and consistent. The menu of drinks and food is excellent. We rotated our days between the beach, lazy river, and adult pool. None were overly crowded. The ocean water was cold while the pools were very comfortable. The on-site restaurants were good. It’s what you expect at the Four Seasons. We did take the shuttles into town and are at several local restaurants. Lobster Paradise and Mina’s were our favorites. The Spa was very nice and service there was top notch. We both had multiple massages and highly recommend them. I played Golf twice and would would rate the courses as a 8/10. The scenery and difficulty is incredible but the courses are not maintained like you would experience in the states. They are very good but I am not convinced they are worth $250+ green fee. Shuttle to course was easy and convenient. We did purchase the beach bag we had in our room. We looked at local shops in town and the one at the FS was nicer quality. If the FS is in your budget this place will mot disappoint!

This was our 6th time to stay the The W Punta de Mita. We stayed for 8 nights in late May. Check in was quick and easy. I applied suite night awards for an upgrade, but they did not confirm. I have only been successful 1 out 6 stays to use my SNA's at this property. We did however get our favorite room. The staff makes this place exceptional. The restaurants are fantastic and they had additional special dinner options each night with different menus. I am reviewing Venazu & Spice on their own page. The Living Room Bar has a great selection of liquors and cocktails. Guillermo and Carlos will take great care of you. Order a Mezcal Negroni! The Pool/Beach staff are amazing. Always attentive, fun. and over the years we think of them as friends. Special shout out to Angel, Ever, Daniel and Christina. The best service of any resort I have stayed at. Take care of these folks! The beach and grounds of the resort are beautiful and always well maintained. We look forward to returning for visit #7 soon.

Punta De Mita spectacular Staycation

Reviewed By Simone F

This boutique hotel is a gem: the location across from the beach and the private, secluded area with beach chaise, umbrellas and all the toys needed to play in the waves (from boogie boards to surf training boards) are here for guests use, no need to carry extra luggage! The studio apartments are spacious, comfortable, super clean; each has a kitchen area fully stocked with all that’s needed to make it a hospitable home; it’s in a few minute of walking distance to shops, restaurants and fun activities; Ariel, their massage therapist is a sweet and knowledgeable assets not only for her massage skills, but also for any question arising; we didn’t have the pleasure to meet Nico & Mary (out of town in our week there) but all reviews are a testimony on how kind and knowledgeable they are as managers: looking forward to our next stay here; we watched the lunar eclipse in the upper terrace and it was spectacular! Can’t say enough about this precious little hotel! Spectacular views to top it all!
