We just wrapped up a wonderful 9-day family stay at Hacienda de Mita, and the apartment truly surpassed our expectations. It was exactly as depicted in the photos - beautifully appointed with elegant, sophisticated decor, spacious rooms, and comfortable beds. The large balcony was a favorite spot for all of us to unwind.The absolute highlight of our stay, however, was Candy! She spoiled us silly with her great cooking, kept the apartment pristine, and even took care of our laundry. Having her take such great care of us made the vacation feel luxurious and effortless.Since we visited during the low season, we practically had the local pools to ourselves, which was wonderful. The beach right near the property is pebbly rather than sandy, so keep that in mind if you prefer soft sand underfoot. We paid for access to nearby resort beaches, though given the off-season lull, things were very quiet across the board. The local town of Punta Mita itself was nice to explore.Because it was low season, we ended up spending quite a bit of time relaxing inside our beautiful apartment, enjoying family time and gathering around to watch the World Cup matches- which ended up being one of the memorable highlights of the trip!We would love to return, though next time we will likely plan our visit during the high season to catch a bit more local energy and activity. Highly recommended for a comfortable, stylish family getaway!
