The St. Regis Punta Mita Resort

We just completed 4 night stay for our 50th anniversary. We loved this place! We took the hotel’s private car to and from the airport. Driver and service great. Rooms are really nice, spacious and comfortable. We had a “king bed Ocean view Casita). Huge bathroom plus an outdoor shower. Housekeeping regularly checked to refresh the room a few times each day. We had a good view to the 3 tiered pools and to the ocean. (There are also pools in other locations.). When at the pools the staff regularly came by with buckets full of ice and bottled water, and periodically came with iced fruit drinks or fruit popsicles. We ate at every restaurant in the hotel and didn’t have any meal that wasn’t really with great service at each restaurant. Special shout out to Felipe Sandoval and the other bartenders at AltaMira (the bar with restaurant in the lobby). He was really a very helpful and engaging person, and made great recommendations for cocktails and food. He was delightful as were his comrades (we didn’t not get everyone’s names). Also special were the breakfast wait staff at Las Marietas, and bartender and staff at Carolina. Massages at spa were very good spa is pricey (we added a private room and pool with champagne and snacks so of course that added to the price). All staff were extremely courteous, if you need directions whomever you asked stopped what he/she was doing and took you wherever you were going. (i.e, instead of just trying to tell you how to go.). And at the restaurants and bars they always knew we were here for our anniversary and congratulated us. Nice touch. We certainly plan to return. This is a wonderful place.

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.

It's a beautiful property in the north tip of Banderas Bay. Swimming pools are modern and relaxing. We got upgraded to one bedroom beach front with plunge pool. From the moment we arrived, we got pampered by staff. Our butler Gabino tried very hard to meet our needs. Butler Julio tried to work everything out for us in the morning. Jessica at Mita Mary gave us fantastic suggestions for our dinner. It's quite relaxing and beautiful place. On the hardware side, it lacks its own character. We could not know where we were. It's could be any brand names (Ritz-Carlton or Four Seasons) in any part of the world.

My family and I vacationed here this past week. We have stayed all over Mexico and wanted to try the St Regis for some time now. We finally booked. We greatly appreciated the upgrade. The service was fantastic , the food was great, and the pools were great. The only part of the resort that was less than desirable was the gym and spa. The massage itself was great but the facilities need a renovation like the rooms. Also we felt the same way about the gym .

I travel to Punta Mita and Nayarit area a few times a year. We usually stay at other resorts in the area (One and Only, Four Seasons, Susurros Del Corzan, etc.) but decided to stay at the St. Regis given the recent renovation and we are so glad we did and will be back. First the resort grounds are very mature and well-kept vs some of the other newer resorts. The room renovation is amazing they kept the original tiles and ceilings while refreshing the rooms. There are three pools, five restaurants not including the bar to choose from and it's 5 minutes from town. The pools are setup and ready by 8am. They are heated and cleaned every day. The breakfast buffet or al la carte is amazing, tons of options and it changes daily. Two golf courses, 7 tennis courts, 8 pickle ball courts 2 paddle courts available for use. The service from the butler to the staff to the management was some of the best ever experienced. It's literally better than some of the Aman's I've stayed at. Thank you, Francisco, Omar, Leo, David and the entire team. Everyone is amazing.
