The St. Regis Punta Mita Resort

My husband and I had a wonderful 3 day weekend here! the service was excellent. It was a little over an hour from the airport to the hotel, and we took a hotel arranged car service. People who uber have to walk about 12 mins outside the airport across a small bridge (lots of people do this), but the cost of uber was way less (40$ vs. $115 for the car service). Overall, the property was quiet. The sunsets were BEYOND stunning every day! Highly recommend staying out on the beach for them and having later dinners! Room: Large, gorgeous balcony with a view, massive bathroom including indoor shower, bathtub, and outdoor shower. Good toiletries (acceptable conditioner, not the best but good), comfy bathrobes, etc. Big comfy bed, chair and desk in room, large walk in closet for luggage and clothing. We were in a normal room, but there also seemed to be 'house' rooms, with private pools, private sections of the beach, etc. Pools: There seemed to be three primary pools. One was adults only, one was a large kids pool (extremely chic and quiet for a kids pool, though we didnt travel with children so only saw it during breakfast, and an open pool on the far side of the resort. We picked the Nekkei pool because it was adults only, close to the beach, and had the best sushi menu for lunch. I think it was on the smaller side, but we felt it was quiet all day. It was well staffed with people constantly checking on us. They also had 3 sunscreen options available all over the place. Beach: REALLY pretty views everywhere, with comfortable beach chairs and umbrellas with full service at the beach. At the far side of the property from where we stayed (near the sea breeze restaurant) there was a swimming area of the beach that had gorgeous sand and was calm waters. In jan the water was cold but refreshing. Food: By far the best food we had was at the adults only pool during the day via the Sakana menu. Delicious delicious sushi, asian noodles and poke bowls. I have a gluten allergy and they were very accommodating. The room service was okay but not amazing, and we did not love the Carolina tasting menu. It was so expensive, would definitely skip it if we went back. Breakfast was good, we ordered from the menu not buffet. Drinks: As always with resorts, overpriced, especially the wine by the pool. But extensive menu and they had cool wine cups with ice inside the glass to keep your drink cool by the beach. They constantly bring you free water bottles in ice buckets. Gym: The gym facility was completely average and fine. Tons of treadmills and bikes and weight machines. It had good AC and nice locker room facilities. Not particularly special and was empty when we went. Groups: All over the property we saw groups (10 - 15 people) having private meals on the beach etc. It was not at all disruptive to my experience, but seemed quite special for those groups. I would definitely come back with friends in the future. My few 'cons' if I had to list them: -

Beautiful grounds with nice pools. Restaurants are good for 3 days, but then choice is limited to repeats. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. The cheapest red wine on the wine list was $USD 186 for an otherwise $10 bottle. We were Very disappointed to be offered Totoaba fish for dinner - this fish is protected and critically endangered and over fishing of Totoaba has led to the disappearance of the Vaquita, an environmental disaster.

the staff are amazing, the food is fabulous and there are so many lovely venues around the hotel property

The resort is absolutely amazing!! The service is top notch especially the Marietas Beach team- Ivan, Lucio, Palma, Jesus and Rigo! Also, the rooms are incredible and there is not a bad view anywhere in the resort. The beaches are clean and gorgeous.
