We spent a lovely week at the W in late March for Spring break. The resort, food and service were all wonderful and exceeded expectations. The spa experience was so peaceful and relaxing and the massage therapists were very strong and skilled. We thought we'd take some day trips but ended up spending all but one day on the beach and by the pool with drinks and snacks. Rubra was a highlight.

“Relaxing in a Beautiful Location”

It was our first time at the property, and we were well taken care of by the staff at the W.

It was our first time at the property, and we were well taken care of by the staff at the W. At arrival we were upgraded to a lake view room with a beautiful view of the lake (albeit a fake one!) where you could watch the local birds frolicking about, we were also given complementary breakfast with our status, which was a nice surprise. The property is beautifully maintained and is lush with greenery. The gym facilities were great and clean, and I also attended a wonderful yoga class at the Away spa. We ate at all four of the onsite restaurants, Rubra, Venazu, Spice market and the Wet bar. Rubra probably needs its own review, but the food and concept of 'back to the roots' Mexican cuisine by Chef Daniella Soto-Innes was an amazing experience. The breakfasts at the Venazu was also very pleasant (including buffet on the weekends). And I would like to give a shout out to Dani for excellent service. I had one of the best moles from their dinner menu. Spice market offered asian fusion cuisine, which was good but not great. I do highly recommend the ceviche from the Wet Bar especially at lunch.

The W Punta Mita overall was a good stay, with a few caveats. To begin, the location and overall design of the hotel (rooms, lobby, pool and beach) were excellent, all working together to create a relaxing and secluded experience. I would recommend the lagoon facing rooms, but try to stay away from 1101/1102 as those rooms do not feel very private due to the nearby lobby and walking path. Moreover, the beach felt private and the included lounge beds at the pools were great. Finally, the food at the pool and at the spice market restaurant were both excellent, albeit very expensive. However, I can’t say the same for Venazu, which was very expensive for food that was okay borderline bad (and again very expensive). More, during our stay, both hot tubs were barely functioning, which was a disappointment given the high price tag. If you want a luxurious and relaxing vacation, choose the W. However, for the price of the rooms plus the crazy high prices for food and drinks, I would recommend looking into the nearby all inclusive resorts which seemed just as nice for a cheaper price tag.
