Location: Beautiful condo within the gated enclave of Punta Mita Resort, and is very well located to pool, beach, and the access gate to the beach strip of the little village of Punta Mita, where you will find some excellent restaurants - Mina, Lobster Paradise and Tuna Blanca, among others - which were about a 5 to 10 minute walk from the condo. The cost was much better than eating at the Four Seasons or St. Regis, and the food and beachfront settings were terrific and festive.
Condo: The two master bedrooms are large and well appointed. The third bedroom has two double beds (not queens), and the bath and bedroom is much smaller than the masters. The fourth bedroom with the bunk bed is really more of a utility room with a very small bathroom where you can smell the cleaning supplies. This condo is better suited for two couples and four children, or two couples, two single adults (sharing the double bedroom) and 2 children (bunk bed). While the place is beautiful, it is in need of some TLC and maintenance with items in need of repair.
Beach Clubs and Getting Around: The beach clubs are beautiful - we loved the Kupuri Beach Club, and it was great having the golf cart to get around. If you do not rent a car, and people in your group have different activities planned, you may want to rent an extra golf cart to get around the resort. Staff: Two of the best things about this visit were Nancy, our cook and housekeeper, and Ivan, our concierge. Nancy was excellent in keeping the place clean and tidy, and made excellent meals. Ivan booked a whale watching/snorkel trip to the Marietas Islands, on site massages, pickle ball and dinner reservations, and helped connect us to contacts for tee times and COVID tests. He was great about checking in with us everyday, and very responsive to questions and requests.
Warning: We had never been to Mexico, and rented a van. I would recommend you use a car service to get to Punta Mita instead. On our way back to the airport, a cop pulled us over falsely accusing us of running a red light. We were an obvious target - 7 tourists with a load of suitcases under time constraints to get to the airport. We ended up having to give the police officer some cash in order to make our flight.
