Pictures don't even do this property justice. On day 1, my kids said this was the best vacation ever. We were greeted with cool scented towels and given a tour of the property. Miriam was very helpful in arranging airport transportation and happy to assist with any reservations we needed for dinner or activities. Claudia prepared the most amazing spread in the mornings specific to what we liked. She makes incredible guacamole, our favorite. Daily housekeeping was nice. Spoiled was an understatement.
This was our first time in Punta Mita, and first time staying at Hacienda de Mita. It was the best decision to stay "within the gates" as we used, daily, the access to the beach clubs. A golf cart is also necessary since it is quite far to some of these clubs. I believe this will be available, just had not arrived for our stay. So we rented one. There are fabulous restaurants outside the gates that we enjoyed, not one we disliked. The beach was rocky, but not as much as some people said. Water shoes were not necessary, we wore flip flops. The beach did have quite a bit of seaweed, perhaps it was the time of year. The beach had great waves, especially in the morning and late afternoon. Many were out paddle boarding and surfing. My kids just said it hurt their feet coming off the board with the rocks, but that is just part of it.
This is a more quiet resort, not loud at all. Not a party place for sure. Pool closes at 8 and quiet time starts at 10. You are fined for loud music complaints. Beautiful views of the pool and ocean from this unit. We will return for sure. Hopefully sooner rather than later!! Wonderful experience!!!
