Casa de Mita

We have been to Casa several times and it never fails to deliver. This is a fabulous getaway. The hotel rooms and public spaces are refreshingly unique - a welcome departure from conventional five star facilities. Each room is different and each is carefully and creatively curated. The public spaces share that same unique aesthetic and offer a variety of opportunities to read, relax, sip a tequila and, of course bask in the sun. The pool area is quiet with several different accommodations for lounging from chaise lounges to private pergolas. My wife and I prefer to stay on the beach which sits directly in front of the hotel - an umbrella, loungers and towels are always set up for us when we arrive after breakfast. The food is consistently delicious. There are multiple dishes available at breakfast, lunch and dinner and if nothing meets your fancy, the chef will go out of his/her way to make sure you are happy. The place and the food alone would make this a five star destination, however, it is the people of Casita Mia de Mita that make this place truly outstanding and memorable - it keeps us coming back at least once every year. Mauricio, Lalo, Memo, Manuel, Carlitos, Carlos, Jonathan and, of course, Arturo are the most wonderful people you will ever meet at a hotel. The landscape and housekeeping people are always courteous, quick to meet whatever request you have and keep the hotel in good order. We consider them all family. And of course I can't forget Madison and Lucas (the canine crew) who are equally wonderful. From the moment you arrive you are welcomed, pampered, humored and attended to in a fashion that gives you privacy as well as service. It doesn't get any better. Paul and Emily Haack Denver.Colorado

A truly wonderful hotel. Wildly comfortable, quiet, and situated with prime access to a beautiful beach. We were totally blown away from the moment we walked in. Beautiful architecture, luxurious rooms, a cozy pool with multiple comfortable lounge areas, delicious food and drink, but above all else, thoughtful, kind, friendly service and hospitality. Everyone on staff was welcoming, accommodating, and urgent to take care of any needs we had. A small but useful gym, gorgeous pool with a swim-up bar, day beds, board games, puzzles. You couldn’t possibly need anything else. Our stay was sheer relaxation. Thank you so much Mauricio, Memo, Lalo, Carlos, Fernando, and Museo for your generous hospitality. It was so nice to meet you all and we had a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience (until we come back next year!!). This place is so worth it and so wonderful. Best, Mateo y Katie

This is truly one of our favorite places in the world— and it gets better with age. From the amazing views, the white sand beach that you sometimes have all to yourself, the tastefully decorated rooms with super comfy beds, the mind blowing food, and the staff that makes you feel like family— we will keep returning year after year. I hope everyone can experience Casa Mia de Mita at least once in your life. I promise you’ll want to come back.

This was our first time to Punta Mita. We did our research and chose Casita Mia de Mita over the Four Seasons and St. Regis. The reviews were spot on. This boutique hotel offers luxurious rooms and fine dining with the best ocean views. The entire staff was friendly and helpful. The food was fresh and delicious. We started each day with a long walk along the beach, followed by a tasty brunch. We ended each day enjoying the chef's dessert. Why not 5 stars? For 5-star hotels, we're used to having the concierge reach out to us 3-4 weeks in advance to set up any reservations - meals, activities, etc. - for our stay. This hotel didn't do that, so I reached out 3 weeks ahead of time. After several rounds of emails over the few weeks, I still wasn't sure what, if anything, had been scheduled properly. Not until we arrived onsite did we learn that our requests had been addressed. Tip: The best way to get around is by taxi. The hotel can help schedule from/to the airport, plus local trips to town. Once in town, there's a taxi stand to get you back to the hotel.

We've been a number of times to this gem that I've reviewed before, and I am pleased to write that it is one of the few places in the world that we visit that really keeps quality standards at the highest level. For those of you looking for busy, activity-filled breaks, this is probably not the place for you. But for those of you looking for a quiet and relaxing location to read books, listen to the surf, enjoy the ocean, eat and drink to your heart's content, and disconnect, then I am not sure there is a better place in North America to visit. As others have written, the excellent staff largely remain the same over the past two decades, and they all do great work. From the Argentinian chef Gonzalo to the evening staff of brothers Lalo & Memo plus Manuel, to the morning staff of Carlos, Musio and Fernando, and the cleaning staff, I can only offer praise. And enjoying Madison and Lucas the dogs only makes it feel more like a home (as does the Tequila bar after a nice dinner). It is entertaining to watch the folks who come in and are dead-set on leaving the location to visit nearby cities or golf courses or even other hotels, only to return and wish they had just stayed and relaxed. We've gone fishing, whale watching, snorkeling, and all other things, but find that the best place, particularly during the hotter months of the rainy season, is at the hotel. This remains one of the best places in all of Mexico, and should be at the top of anyone's list seeking a beach vacation.
