The St. Regis Punta Mita Resort

“Shout out to special server”

What an experience! The staff is second to none, but wanted to take a moment for a special shout out to Oscar at Murietta restaurant. Make sure that you ask to sit in his section. One in a million!

“The Resort is a Dream”

After 13 visits and 135 nights, I can say without hesitation that St. Regis Punta Mita is the most beautiful resort I’ve ever been to, and I've been to a lot of places.

After 13 visits and 135 nights, I can say without hesitation that St. Regis Punta Mita is the most beautiful resort I’ve ever been to, and I've been to a lot of places. The minute we arrive in the lobby, it feels like we’ve come home. We’re always greeted by a welcoming staff who are genuinely happy to see us and ready to make sure we have the best possible vacation. The resort itself is stunning. The mature landscaping is lush, beautifully maintained, and creates a feeling of privacy and exclusivity. The rooms are comfortable and well-appointed, and the bathrooms are incredible—with large soaking tubs and outdoor showers that feel truly indulgent. Each villa has its own private entrance, so you rarely hear or see neighbors. No hallways, no slamming doors, just peace. The beach is breathtaking, with some of the most beautiful sunsets we’ve ever seen. The water is warm, perfect for daily swims, and the trees along the sand provide natural shade so you can stay out there all day. We go out after breakfast, watch sunset then to the adult pool for a drink and hot tub. Perfect day. The food is consistently good across the resort. The breakfast buffet is the largest and most diverse I’ve ever experienced, and Chef Chepe is absolutely killing it with his daily specials—we never get tired of it, even after 10 mornings in a row. Sakana serves some of the best sushi and poke bowls, Mita Mary has amazing seafood right on the beach, and Carolina offers a creative, high-end dining experience. But this review wouldn’t be complete without talking about the people. The staff here aren’t just doing a job—they genuinely care for you like family. Over the years, they’ve become our family, and they are the reason we keep coming back. They’ve decorated for birthdays and anniversaries, made special cakes and meals, set up balloons on the beach and in our room, delivered surprises almost daily, brought gifts, played music—there is truly nothing they won’t do to make us feel special. It’s not like anything we’ve experienced anywhere else in the world. So I have to give my shout-outs, because they deserve to hear it: Federico and his team at Marieta’s, who start our mornings with big smiles. Arturo, Oscar, Jesus, Leonel, Elena, sweet Angel, and the rest of the crew, what a great way to start the day. Antonio at Sea Breeze—this man is nothing but smiles and service. He makes sure we have everything we need, all day, every day, and has surprised us more than once with balloons and flowers at our chairs just to make us feel special. We have out inside jokes and fun banter. He's employee of the year every year in my eyes. Gumaro and his team at Sakana—Antonio, Regi, Oscar, and David—you guys make me laugh every single day and I know I drive you crazy. Cesar, the butler manager, who somehow manages all my requests (and my need to “have my team”), and the butlers who make it all happen—Miguel, Susannah, Marianna, and Leo. And Leo… my friend, my family. After 135 nights together, there is nothing he wouldn’t do for me. He is truly one of a kind, a king among men. Chris at the front desk, who handles me with patience (which says a lot), grace, and professionalism. He makes all my room dreams come true and is an absolute gem. Juana, running front of house with style and grace. She always brings such a kind, lovely presence, and I love seeing a strong female executive leading the way. And finally, the GM, Fernando Gibaja. The resort has only gotten better under his leadership. He is hands-on, passionate, approachable, and always makes me feel like a VIP. He always makes time for a chat and is just a cool guy. After all these visits, this isn’t just a place we come to relax—it’s a place that truly feels like home. What keeps bringing us back isn’t just how beautiful Punta Mita is, it’s the people and the way they make you feel. If you’re looking for somewhere special, this is it. It’s stunning, it’s welcoming, and it’s an experience you won’t find just anywhere. You’ll understand the moment you arrive.
