The Inn at San Pancho, Home of the GataGorda (after our fat cat, Whiskey) spends its long tropical days lazing in the sun, peeking playfully down from its perch above the small fishing village of San Pancho. A gated compound with beautifully landscaped gardens reflecting the colors of each Mexican season, the San Pancho Inn’s centerpiece is its ample pool. With its cool ice blue tiles,soothing waterfall, and an underwater bench for reading and sunning on hot afternoons, the pool offers 360-degree mountain and ocean views of San Pancho. The jewel of the Riviera Nayarit, San Pancho, just 25 miles north of Puerto Vallarta, has become the destination of choice along Mexico's glorious west coast.
All our units have filtered water and safes. Our two casitas, Agave, Nopal, and the owner’s suite, Villa V!, have much in common: large, airy rooms, Mexican tiles, comfortable beds, fully-stocked kitchens, breezy arches, hand-carved and painted furniture, original artwork, a collection of crafts from around the country and mountain, jungle and ocean views. Still, each has its own tasty flavor.
The Casita Nopal has a king size bed and is distinguished by its hanging garden, a lovely place to eat breakfast or share Marguerites while hummingbirds dip their tiny beaks into the brilliant flowers that spill over the wall to the street below.
Casita Agave has a king size bed, and a comfortable banco that doubles as a bed. It is enhanced by two additional spaces -- a front porch that overlooks both our gardens and cascade pool, and an impressive verandah where guests enjoy sweeping 180 degree views of pueblo, sea and mountain.
Villa Victoria, the owner’s suite and lovely lower half of the Inn, is a stunning open plan hacienda-style living space with a full kitchen, sala, library, verandah, king size bedroom, and a “secret” garden. Two banco/sofas – one in the sala, the other on the broad covered verandah -- double as single beds. Richly furnished, surrounded by flowers, steps from the pool, Villa V! is more than a rental, it’s a home.
The enchanting El Papagayo is a cozy cottage built for just two. An ideal blend of Mexican elements, it offers wrap-around windows, a beautiful palapa roof, queen bed and shipshape built-ins.
Guests have the choice of dining out in one of San Pancho's three gourmet restaurants in town, going native in one of the many taco and burrito cafes, or having our cook Silvia prepare dinner for two for $20 plus grocery costs. Our casitas all have lovely dining areas with views, but no veranda in town can claim a more romantic setting for sunset dining than our lovely Villa V! Many guests choose to enhance their San Pancho vacation by choosing a mixture of dining in and dining out.
A short walk along San Pancho’s main street takes you to the pueblo’s mile-long sand beach where Huichol Indians spread their jewelry and pottery on colorful blankets, and sunset junkies find the right spot to observe the most breathtaking part of every San Pancho day. Offically known as San Francisco, the pueblo (just 45 minutes north of the Puerto Vallarta International Airport) with its cobbled streets, gourmet restaurants and eclectic mix of North Americans, Europeans and Mexicans possesses, an elusive X Factor, an almost indecipherable combination of ingredients.
Whether you spend the day floating in the pool, watching the light on the ocean change minute to minute, walk to the lagoon and spy on egrets, hawks and herons, sit in the garden reading a book or grab a surf board and wait for the right wave, you’ll find the Inn of San Pancho will touch you in all the right places. |
