The hype
Travelers universally praise the 2024 renovations and the 'telepathic' staff, though some find the pool service runs on 'island time.'
The St. Regis Punta Mita Resort
$850-1,400+/ nacht
Boek dit als You want the white-glove service of a St. Regis without the stuffiness, set on a sprawling, lush peninsula that feels more like a private estate than a hotel.
Waarom mensen ervan houden
- The 'Mita Mary' boat bistro—eating fresh lobster tacos with your toes in the sand
- 24-hour butler service that actually works via WhatsApp for everything from coffee to unpacking
- Three distinct pool vibes, including a dead-silent adult infinity pool and a multi-tier family oasis
Snel Overzicht: It’s exorbitantly expensive, but between the free parking (rare!) and the flawless post-renovation rooms, it actually delivers on the price tag.
Beoordeeld door @femme_foodie: My stay at St. Regis Punta Mita was unforgettable, mostly because of this bathroom! I started every morning with the outdoor shower—it felt so freeing yet totally private. The deep soaking tub and Remède amenities made the whole room feel like my own personal spa.

Reality check
The property is massive (22 acres); if you have mobility issues or hate walking, you will be dependent on the golf cart shuttles which can sometimes take 10-15 minutes to arrive.
- You crave privacy; the casita-style layout means no shared hallways or elevators
- You are a foodie who wants high-end dining without leaving the resort gates
- You travel with kids but still want a sophisticated, quiet atmosphere
Schoonmaak & Onderhoud
9.6
- Housekeeping: Twice-daily service is standard and meticulous; they even organize your charging cables.
- Bathroom hygiene: Immaculate. The 2024 renovation replaced aging fixtures, so grout and tile are sparkling.
- Maintenance: Excellent post-renovation. The 'mold' complaints from 2023 seem to have been addressed by the refresh.
- Linens & towels: Plush, heavy, and plentiful. Robes are the thick terry cloth kind you want to steal.
- Odors & scents: Lobby smells of the signature St. Regis 'Caroline 400' scent; rooms are fresh and neutral.

“I would love a room in the Tortuga building for the elevated ocean views. If possible, an upper-floor unit would be preferred for maximum privacy.”
Veelgestelde vragen & Verborgen tips
Alles wat je eigenlijk wilt weten voordat je boekt.
Is there a resort fee?
No specific daily 'resort fee' is listed, but expect a 10% service charge and 16% tax added to everything.
Is the beach swimmable?
Yes, but it can be rocky. The resort provides water shoes, but bringing your own is a pro move.
How is the butler service?
Legitimately useful. They communicate via WhatsApp and can handle restaurant bookings, unpacking, and morning coffee delivery.

No, it's very family-friendly with a kids' club and family pool, but the adult pool is strictly 18+.
How far is it from the airport?
About 45-60 minutes from Puerto Vallarta (PVR). A private transfer is recommended over a taxi.
What is the 'Mita Mary'?
It's the resort's signature boat bistro on the sand—casual, delicious seafood, and the best spot for sunset.

5 dingen die je moet weten voordat je gaat
💡The 'Garden View' rooms often have lush vegetation that blocks any sense of the ocean—take the label literally.
💡You can actually walk to the village of Punta de Mita along the beach (about 15-20 mins) for cheaper tacos.
💡The 'Champagne Sabering' isn't just a show; you get a free glass of bubbly if you attend.
💡Room service breakfast is excellent but the delivery fee + service charge + tax adds nearly 30% to the bill.
💡The sand at the beach is soft, but the entry into the water has rocks that can be tough on bare feet.
