Before I booked, I scrutinized every review of this property, studied the photos, listed out the recommendations for restaurants, cafes, things to do; analyzed the location, description of the building and amenities. I did my homework and now you don't have to- copy mine because we gave this entire experience an A+. We loved the condo and felt so at home - lovely, vacation easy, spacious. clean, and so comfortable, the proximity to the town's main street is perfect - easy walk on the beach or the town streets. We so enjoyed the people, the service, the weather, the beach- boogie board, kayaks and stand up paddle were easy to get and fun to use. Lots of waves (and rocks, so bring water shoes- a game changer!), surf lessons every day a short way down the beach We were with our 3 kids (18-23) and everybody fell in love with Punta De Mita. Here are some highlights:
-Whale watching and snorkeling around the Marieta Islands
-All dinners were excellent, favorite might be Mina (formally Si Señor). Pop in and make reservations in advance at all of the restaurants lined up on the beach (we went to a different one each night)
-Breakfast at La Rustica (just started serving. Awesome food and gorgeous setting); also excellent for drinks and dinner at sunset.
-Join all the nearby vacationers in line at Cafecito for great coffee, light breakfast, and smoothies
-Cafe de Pintor for breakfast and the adjoining Madmax Pizza
-Visit Pan y Leche for a great iced mocha, fun art, and the sweetest barista you will ever meet.
-Go to Arena Cafe rooftop cafe for lovely view and excellent coffee- just a block away from condo
-Excellent sandwiches at Boca Cafe - brought home to eat by the beach
-Teresa's Taco stand a block away- brought them home to eat on the balcony
-Lunch and afternoon stroll through nearby Sayulita (best to go Mon- Thur unless looking for huge crowds and party scene)
