The St. Regis Punta Mita Resort

Absolutely not worth the money. We stayed in the beach front room with a plunge pool which is their nicest room besides renting a villa and it was horrible. The floor clearly has no pad as we heard everything above us. We were woken up at 6am every morning by the person above us. Not what I’d expect for a 2k a night. Food at the resort is ok at best. Service is hit or miss, sometimes is great and sometimes no one responds. Definitely not worth the money

The St. Regis Punta Mita delivered on service and atmosphere. My wife and I spent a short July vacation in a Junior Suite that included breakfast and a daily resort credit. Although it was technically rainy season, most showers were limited to late at night and clear to partly cloudy skies during the day. From arrival to departure, the service was truly top-notch. Every member of the staff, from management to beach attendants, worked to ensure our stay was enjoyable. Pool and beachside service struck the perfect balance. Staff checked in often enough to keep us pampered, but never too often to interrupt the peaceful vibe. Buckets of cold water, towels, loungers, and umbrellas were always ready before we had to ask. The poolside food, including ceviche, sushi, and burgers, was fresh and easily customized to our preferences. Our Junior Suite was slightly dated, but it was clean, well-maintained, and very comfortable. We especially enjoyed the outdoor shower. It had a rustic feel that added charm and gave the room a more authentic, regional touch. Our spa experience was also excellent. The massages were skillfully done, and while the open-air spa was a little warm during our visit, I imagine it is more comfortable during cooler months. Breakfast each morning was a highlight. The buffet was varied and well-prepared, and the made-to-order items were equally good. The egg and chorizo tacos on fresh corn tortillas were easily the best thing I ate during our stay. The butler service deserves a special mention. Our butlers were always enthusiastic, helpful, and readily available. Whether arranging spa services or helping with dinner plans, they made our short stay feel effortless. Dinner at the resort restaurants was good but not quite excellent. Most dishes were fresh and well-prepared, but there were a few misses. The pizza at Seabreeze was soggy, the octopus in the tacos at Marietas needed more time on the grill, and the crab appetizer at Mita Mary was overwhelmed by mayo. That said, there were some real highlights. The Al Pastor tacos at Marietas and the grilled fish at Mita Mary were both outstanding. One area that could use improvement is the activity planning. It was difficult to understand what was included on-site, what was located elsewhere on the property, and how to book each option. I believe our butler or the concierge could have helped with that, but we were not always sure what questions to ask. Overall, the St. Regis Punta Mita is a refined and welcoming resort. The service, food, and relaxed luxury made for a memorable few days. With some clearer guidance around activities and a bit more consistency in the dining experience, one would have a tough time finding any flaws.

This hotel is perfect in every way I cannot find one thing to complain about The service, the rooms, the food, the views and grounds It is just heavenly. I don’t think kids , especially active ones, would find much to do on property. Save this for an adult/couples trip.

Gorgeous location! It’s the staff that makes this place though… My new friend Oscar at the breakfast restaurant was my favorite. Palma rocked it too along with Arturo. The spa group Mario, Marcos, Laura and the new guy Jean! What a cast of wonderful characters! You won’t be disappointed

I have been meaning to write this review from our stay in October of 2024. We stayed at this lovely, renovated resort for 6 nights. We had a wonderful time. Everyone was so kind and attentive. We thoroughly enjoyed breakfast at Las Marietas. I would like to give a shoutout to the breakfast chef, Ramon and all the restaurant staff; Arturo Robles, Jovany Garcia, Manuel Moreno, Jonathan Munoz, Alfredo Mora, Jesus Becerra, Ismael and Elena. Every single one of these mentions went above and beyond for our two boys, and my mother-in-law who was recovering from chemo during this trip. It was such a joy to see the staff every morning at breakfast. The beach and pools were really nice. Kids enjoyed the kids club and we even booked a babysitter for an all adult dinner at Carolina. Food there was really good, and also excellent service. We would happily return. Thank you everyone for your excellent hospitality!

Generally speaking...exceptional experience, with some caveats. I'll also say this right out of the gate: we visited the Four Seasons Punta Mita as well, and this is just a better resort. The Four Seasons property is chaotic and definitely not worth the uplift in price. We're late 30s and well traveled...have a taste for the nicer things...when doing the research, a lot of the reviews made it seem like this property was without any vibe and energy...that's not true. It's just less chaotic. I love energy (within reason) at the resorts we visit...but the layout, the tons of buildings, the overstacked etc stuff going on at Four Seasons feels poorly planned and like someone did a continual add on. The St Regis property is well planned and makes sense, easy to get around, etc. It appears that there are only 4 rooms in each villa/building max, rather than the swaths at the Four Seasons. It feels more exclusive. There were always plenty of seats at all 3 pools. The kids areas were spread out enough to not encourage a lot of noise or volatility. My wife and I, enjoying some time away from our littles, were happy to sit at any of the pools...although mostly opting for the adults area anyway. The ratio of patrons to space is well managed. The visitors were generally courteous and there was almost no stuffy vibes compared to other properties we've experienced in this price point. There were, of course, a couple of pain points. First of all, the spa needs better basic upkeep. No overhaul necessary, but the sitting areas outdoors (at least on the guys side) had grass ripped up, irrigation exposed, and so forth...it felt very unmanaged and quite outside of the St. Regis brand. At $500 a massage, you'd expect a little better experience. There were some such bizarre maintenance things going on....and other small not well thought out items (such as some sort of weird radio antenna attached to the top of one of the villas and other like visually chaotic elements that seem like easy reductions of the horizon noise that would otherwise make this experience feel more polished). Cocktails...were mediocre at best. I think the expectation from high end Mexican resorts is that sophisticated overseas drinkers want to avoid sugar at all costs...but...this is just not the case and a mixologist should be brought in to fix things such as the basic margarita (we're lucky enough to own a cocktail lounge that was produced by world class mixologists...we understand that not everything will be that level of experience...but the other guests were noting that generally, a $24 margarita should probably taste like more than tequila and lime with a splash of coin). The other St Regis resorts we've experienced have a very polished cocktail menu that I'd put on par with proper mixology experiences, so that one threw me a bit. The rest of the dining was well executed...although we found no traditional Mexican food which was a bit of a disappointment. The Mita Mar
