We just got back from the most relaxing anniversary trip. Punta Mita, Mexico was our location of choice. We booked a stay at the St. Regis Punta Mita and it really is the best resort in Mexico. It had been years since either Sam or I had been to Mexico, but we heard great things about this place. It completely exceeded our expectations and I’ll tell you why. (By the way, we paid for everything on our trip, none of this is sponsored. It is my honest review).
It’s so Peaceful
The resort itself is situated 45 minutes north of Puerto Vallarta. You get completely out of this busy tourist area. The resort is in a private and gated peninsula featuring gorgeous landscaping and fun walking paths and trails. I felt very safe.
The Food Was Off the Charts Amazing
Having lived in this area for two years in his 20s, my husband was very picky about the food. He was just hoping it would live up to the amazing Mexican cuisine he experienced while living there. Fantastic news – it did! From the chilaquiles for breakfast, to the al pastor tacos and churros, everything was excellent. It was very obviously freshly made and super high quality. We ventured into town one night for dinner and decided the food was so good at the resort we never needed to leave again haha. The freshly caught seafood was my personal favorite, as you can watch the fishing boat bring in all of the daily fish early in the morning on the beach. I could talk for days about all of the delicious meals we had – just do not miss the al pastor or the fresh guacamole! The food was off-the-charts amazing! It just solidified that it really is the best resort in Mexico.
Every Guest Has a Butler
It’s fancy! But in the best way. We had a butler available to us 24 hours a day. It was so nice. They made restaurant reservations, brought us towels at the hot tub, and just generally answered all of our questions. Each night our room was decorated (tastefully) to celebrate our anniversary. It made the trip feel really special. Plus, the butlers were all so kind! Sam speaks Spanish, so he loved learning about their personal lives and getting to know each one.
It’s Immaculate
I took so many photos because every inch is just beautiful. We stayed in a villa and it was gorgeous! A giant main bedroom with a huge porch overlooking the ocean. Then a giant bathroom with a stunning outdoor shower. The resort and beach were so clean.
The Service is Unmatched
I’ve never stayed anywhere with such a high level of service. It seemed like someone was always bringing me something or asking to help. My favorite was the snacks they would pass out on the beach every day – including the best pineapple and coconut popsices! The employees were so kind and we loved getting to know them better. They work so hard and made the experience so memorable. The best service at the best resort in Mexico.
It’s Private
It was such a great choice for an anniversary trip because it’s so private and quiet. We never ran into other people at the pools or hot tubs. There were only a handful of other people on the entire beach. It felt very private because of the peninsula the resort is on. No one is selling you things at the beach or bothering you, like they typically are at other Mexican resorts. If you are in need of rest and relaxation, it’s the perfect place!
We can’t wait to go back. The St. Regis Punta Mita is the best resort in Mexico. You can get more information on the resort here.
