The St. Regis Punta Mita Resort

I’ve always been captivated by the serene beauty of Punta de Mita, a peninsula steeped in both luxury and natural wonder. Nestled along this stunning coastline are a few resorts that truly capture the essence of this paradise, but none quite like the St. Regis Punta Mita. While there are many resorts that promise luxury, the sweeping, iconic views here set it apart—it’s a place where every glance feels like a postcard. When I visit a resort, two things I always look for are exclusivity and exceptional service. At the St. Regis, even though families, couples, and friends gather here, there’s something about the way the resort is spread across its expansive 22 acres that makes you feel as if you’re in your own private world. It’s a delicate balance they’ve mastered, and the result is nothing short of magical. The attentive staff was one of the highlights of my stay. Having a dedicated butler service was such a treat—I could simply send a text, and within minutes, my every need was taken care of. It added a layer of personal attention that made me feel completely at ease. Dining at the resort was a standout experience. With two bars and four restaurants, including the Sakana Bar and the Altamira at St. Regis Bar, there’s plenty to explore. However, Carolina and Marietas were my personal favorites. Carolina offers a more formal, intimate fine dining experience, perfect for a special evening. Marietas, on the other hand, is a casual spot by the beach—ideal for relaxing in resort wear while you take in the sunset with a delicious meal. As someone with a discerning palate, I was pleasantly surprised by how exceptional the food was across the board. Each dish felt thoughtfully prepared, and I can confidently say I didn’t encounter a single disappointment, which says a lot! One of my favorite moments was lounging in a cabana during the early afternoon. There’s something about hearing the ocean breeze, the birds, and the gentle lapping of the waves that creates an almost meditative experience. It’s hard not to feel completely at peace. For those looking for activities, the resort offers a golf club, various aquatic adventures, and even a sunset cruise—all of which can be arranged by the concierge. These were some of the highlights for me, but there’s plenty more to explore. My room was a sanctuary in itself—spacious, comfortable, and beautifully designed. I especially loved the combination of the indoor and outdoor bathing options, with a terrace shower surrounded by greenery. It was such a unique touch that I found myself reluctant to leave the room! In the end, what truly sets St. Regis Punta Mita apart is its unwavering commitment to exclusivity, service, and the guest experience. From the moment you arrive, you can feel the thoughtfulness and care that goes into every detail. They’ve mastered the art of hospitality, ensuring that your time here is not only memorable but transformative. If you’re searching for a resort that offers the ultimate

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

Beautiful hotel with gorgeous, green landscaping and an expansive property. Welcoming and professional staff with a warm Hola on every encounter from the landscapers to the front desk. Given the size of the property it never felt crowded. The rooms were large with large bathrooms and outdoor shower plunge. The only drawback was on Monday’s and Tuesdays one of the restaurants was closed and the other fine dining restaurant was temporarily closed for a restart of their menu. This left only two options for dinner on property. Compared to the Four Seasons which we visited for dinner, the St. Regis wins hands down for the beauty of the property.

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.

St. Regis Punta Mita review Before coming to the St. Regis Punta Mita I had fairly high expectations, given my excellent experiences with St. Regis resorts at different locations in the past. I think the views are great, and I used them as a distraction from the poor management for the first couple days of my trip. As days went by, I realized how the workers were not properly trained and you would have to follow up with them multiple times in order to get something you requested. For example, at breakfast when I ordered an iced coffee, every morning I had to ask my waiter (different every time) 3 times for milk, and the ice in my coffee had already melted by the time it had gotten to me. This is just one example, but when you are trying to relax on vacation, constantly following up on things should not be a problem. Also, there were 3 different times when my family would be out of the room for 5 hours at a time and we would come back and our room would not be cleaned. This is another example of how we would have to text someone to clean our room, which should be a given. Any other hotel, no matter the price, is required to clean the hotel room regularly. In addition, I think the property they have is beautiful, but the way they used the space was not ideal. The room my family stayed in was at least a 15 minute walk to the restaurants/pools that kids were allowed in. Some days it was nice to get that walk in, but it took so much time to go back to the room if we forgot something, and I think they could have assembled the rooms in more of a vertical fashion rather than horizontal. Also, given the expensive fees for staying at the resort in general, the additional costs for things were unnecessary and could have been a lot cheaper. For example, they refused to drive us in the many golf carts they had unoccupied, and made us buy a taxi ride to the pickleball and tennis courts which were at least a 35 minute walk away from the resort. Also, there was one day where we wanted to ride bikes that the hotel had and were not being occupied, but to rent a bike for a day was $30 per bike, so we did not want to spend $120 total to ride 4 bikes for an hour. I just think that there should be more amenities included in the stay given the already expensive costs of staying in the hotel. Finally, at least when my family went, they made a makeshift gym because they were working on making a new gym. This was kind of frustrating for my family, given that we like to work out, especially while on vacation. The gym was small and didn’t have key workout machines such as a stair master. It was also extremely hot, so it was impossible not to sweat after trying to workout for 10 minutes. Overall, I think the resort is beautiful and there are good features to it, but the poor management, hotel design, and prices made this a hotel I would never want to come back to.

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!
