  Just returned from one of the best vacations ever at the beautiful Caida de Agua in Punta Mita. We had 5 couples and rented the home for a long weekend and had a wonderful time. Punta Mita is beautiful, and the home is in a gated community with access to a beautiful secluded beach (just a short golf cart ride away) and a short distance from the Four Seasons and St Regis (with many activities available - we took a snorkeling/scuba/paddle board trip that departed from the St. Regis). We spent most of our time at the casa, sitting by (or in) the pool and enjoying the beautiful view of the ocean. The pictures on the website do not do it justice - the home is simply amazing. But perhaps the best part of the trip was the staff - Arnoldo, Luisa and Jorge could not have been nicer, and the service was impeccable. We provided a shopping list with a few specific items but mostly just let Luisa decide what to cook, and the food was absolutely wonderful. They did all the shopping for us, and for 5 days and 4 nights, the food and drink bill was just over $300 per couple (and we ate and drank a lot and had every single meal at the casa - one of us was even given the nickname "Grande"). That is quite a bargain relative to what you would spend on food and drinks at a hotel - 3 of us spent almost that much for margaritas and golf balls on the Four Seasons golf course in just one afternoon! Overall it was one of the best vacations ever - I recommend it without any hesitation. We will definitely be back!!!

  We just returned from 7 wonderful days. I think the other reviews have hit the nail on the head. The house is spectacular, but what really makes the experience at Caida Da Agua unique is the wonderful staff and the FOOD. We turned the entire menu over to Luisa with the guidance that we loved Mexican food. Every meal was fantastic, and the food, presentation, and service is Four Seasons quality +. We had 5 kids as part of our group, and it was so convenient that they could leave the table when they were done, and the adults could hang out, talk, drink etc. We had a crew of 11, and the food and alcohol total for the week was ~$2,200, which included many (many) margaritas, 3 FULL meals each day, and snacks during happy hour every day (if there was a question if i would get tired of homemade guacomole after eating it every day, the answer is an emphatic NO). To put things in perspective, I had a colleague staying at the Four Seasons with a family of four. His wife doesn't drink, and they didn't eat breakfast every morning, but their food bill was $2,000 for the week. The service from waiting on the group during each meal, continual cocktail service poolside, and constant maid service, was omnipresent, but so friendly that it wasn't invasive at all. Everything about the house is truly top-notch (sheets, towels, furniture, fixture). My only hesitation is writing this glowing review is potentially increasing demand so we can't book a return trip next Spring Break. FYI, Kara (owner) is very professional and a delight to deal with.

  Recommended for: Tourists without a car, families with young children.

  It is impossible to truly capture our experience at your home in words. From the moment we arrived with your incredible staff waiting with drinks to the sad moment we left with snacks and lunch for the plane ride home, everything was perfect. Each meal was more delicious than the next...Luisa is a gem and every meal was filled with her amazing traditional recipes and love. We could not get enough of all her different salsas and will hopefully try and replicate them at home after a great cooking lesson from her. Arnoldo did everything he could to make every part of our stay perfect. He organized excursions, helped with anything we needed and was just an absolute pleasure. Jorge was a hit with all the kids because he never said no when they asked for ice cream. Every member of the staff was wonderful and if it were my home (pipe dream), I would feel incredibly lucky to have them. Your home is beautiful, but it's also incredibly clean, comfortable and homey. All of the rooms have their own charm and each one is elegant and inviting. We loved spending our evenings after dinner hanging out in the open living room. We felt very secure being on Punta Mita and anyone feeling cautious about traveling to Mexico should look no further than Punta Mita. We loved that everything is open and airy and we fought over the hammocks for sure. The beach club was great, but we never really wanted to leave all the luxury your home had to offer. This is a fabulous home for families and would be just as amazing as a getaway for a group of friends/couples. We certainly didn't want to leave, but hope we get to come back!

  Kara I just wanted to write and say that we had a wonderful vacation at Caida de Agua. Arnoldo and Luisa were amazing, they catered to our every need (at all hours unfortunately), their cooking was extraordinary and the place was always so very clean. You have an excellent staff and we made sure they received above and beyond the required tips. We would love to return in the near future. Thank you again.  Renetta Don’t forget Jorge too. He was great. I have never been to a place with that great of service. You have great people working for you. Blaine M. C

  Hi there Kara, Where do I start. Your house is truly just divine and we couldn’t have asked for a better way for us all to finish our holiday than staying in your stunning house. We had the best time and loved every minute. The staff you have working there are so so so wonderful and hospitable. They really do Caida justice and made our stay all the more better. Louisa – what a cook – the food was amazing and Arnoldo (Arnie as we called him) was just perfect. They made our whole experience all the more richer and have helped us create memories that will last a life time. Our house waiter - I can’t pronounce his name we called him ‘H’ (Jorge) was also fabulous and the other ladies as well. I am so sad to have left as we really did have the best time. Thank you so much and we hopefully would love to return again soon. Kind regards, Kate G

  Kara, My husband and I just returned from Mexico 2 weeks ago and we reminisce daily about the vacation and in particular the house.  It was FABULOUS!  Arnoldo and Luisa were as wonderful as they come and the food was some of the best we've had!  There really was not one thing we would have changed and we hope to return next year.   Kyle & Ashley S.

  Kara, Hello!! I am sorry I am just getting to you after our vacation. I have been trying to get back to the land of the living and out of vacation mode. I have to say it was hands down the best vacation i have ever been on, the house was amazing but what made it the best was Arnoldo, Luisa and the rest of the staff. They are so amazing and just made us feel so at home and relaxed. I want to write a longer review for you and I know many of the group will to in the next few weeks but I just wanted to quickly let you know sooner that We appreciate your house and staff so much, I think I already have convinced a few families to come see you this year!!! I will be in touch soon with a more extensive review from everyone. Thank you, Melissa P.

  Kara, We had another fabulous time in your home!!!!  The staff was once again incredible and the first timers could not get over how gorgeous the house is.  They kept saying it is just perfect - the decor is just perfect, the layout is just perfect, the view is perfect....thought you might want to know!!! Thanks for allowing us to have our friends over - we had a total of 16 adults around the table while 8 kids had noodle fights and did cartwheels in the garden.... our Mexican friends stay at the Four Seasons but often have to rent additional rooms since the family is so large...you might have located some potential new renters with that crew!  They could not stop with the compliments about the house (one gentleman is a home builder) and the food.  They proclaimed the food far superior to that at the Four Seasons!!!  We had a nighttime Easter Egg hunt and the cake for Mark's birthday on Sunday was just precious - it was exactly what he wanted.   Attached is one of my favorite photos from our trip - this is of my 10 year old daughter at the beach - many many more fond memories were made this week so thank you again for sharing your home with us! Thanks again and I hope the rest of your weekend is relaxing! Nicole

  Our trip to Caida de Agua was certainly one to remember.  We arrived ready for a relaxing week and were greeted by the staff, Margiritas in hand.  From there, it was what we expected and more.  The house is more beautiful than the pictures show, which is amazing.  We felt right at home and could not have had a better layout for our small group.  Everyone had their own suite but we all wanted just to sit in the living room and gaze over the ocean views. As far as the staff, Luisa and Arnoldo were very accomodating and we became fast friends before the week was over.  Luisa's cooking was healthy and delicious and Arnoldo even cut open fresh coconuts for drinks!  Our concierge, Mel, did an amazing job, juggling multiple requests at once, even helping me provide new surfboards for the kids as a surprise.  When my daughter came down with a stomach flu, it was all hands on deck and the staff made sure she had all she needed from a Doctor (house call!) to meds and special meals.  She was back in shape in no time thanks to them! I highly recommend this beautiful property wo anyone who desires a relaxing vacation, with golf and a beautiful resort attached, while being able to enjoy the privacy and serenity that Caida de Aguga provides.  Most importantly, the staff, and ownership are a pleasure to deal with and know how to make everything go perfectly! Save me a week next year!!

  Dear Kara, Thank you for your extended hospitality while we stayed in your home in Punta Mita this past week. Your property is absolutely beautiful, and I am sure that you know – your staff is exceptional in every way. Luisa’s food was spectacular and Arnoldo is so warm and generous. We ate at a few different restaurants, and I was always wishing Luisa was in their kitchen! She did make the recommendation that we go to Sufi; and it was impressive. Arnoldo wanted to do nothing but please us. . . and he definitely made my baby fall in love with him. Giovanni accused Arnoldo of wanting another baby. . . Luisa shook her head. Really cute. We take many family trips and stay in many amazing properties, but your staff set this trip apart. Thank you again. Best, Lauren C
