We have a rule to never visit the same hotel twice; there are so many places to go and we want to see them all. On our first visit to Casa De Mita we were driven from the airport by the hotel-arranged private car, not fully knowing what to expect, on a 40 minute ride to the hotel. The road changed from 4 lanes, to two, and then to dirt. We pulled up to a wide wooden door that opened into Paradise. We have now been to CLB 7 times. So much for rules; it gets better every time. Located 28 miles north-west from Puerto Vallarta and just 5 minutes up the coast from the town of Punta de Mita, Casa De Mita is perfectly situated on a half-mile long stretch of ocean beach amidst a small collection of private homes. On holidays and weekends you can see the locals on the beach, on many other days you’re pretty much alone. The Hotel’s service is flawless; the staff is unchanging, outgoing, and customer oriented. We know them all by name. The meals and bar are pretty much whatever you need; if you want it different, just ask...that is if they didn’t already notice what you needed. The food is good enough that dinner guests from the nearby Four Seasons are a common sight. The rooms and resort area are beautifully crafted and decorated, each room different and unique. We have our favorite rooms but I won’t spoil the surprise as we love them all. The social nature of the inn is maybe one of the more amazing features. We’ve made new friends on almost every visit. Not that we didn’t want to be alone at this incredibly romantic place, but it always seems that we meet someone interesting at the swim-up bar or dining at the next table. On more than one occasion all of the guests pushed their tables together for dinner…not that we moved the tables ourselves as the staff would set them up any way you want faster than you can ask. If you need to get away and visit the nearby towns, Punta de Mita, Sayulita, or PVR itself, a car is available for your use. But we seldom leave anymore, preferring to lounge by the beach or pool, swim in the ocean, or walk to the far end of the beach and back. It is, for us, a get-a-way to look forward to.

This was my third visit to Casa de Mita since 2009. As almost everyone reviews this property with "excellent" reviews, I thought I would try to add something that was not in any previous review so as to give another insight into the property and its appeal.
Casa de Mita is a home away from home and their employees are people who tend to your every need, but it literally does not feel like they are waiting on you. It feels like they are one of your friends grabbing you a drink or offering to go make you a snack.
The area around the pool seems like an atmosphere similar as if you were visiting a friend who had an awesome set up for a house and pool. It is intimate yet large enough to feel like you have your own space.
The rooms are nice and roomy with touches that seem well-thought out. A basket of snacks, a mini-refrigerator stocked with water, beer, and soft drinks, a shower area stocked with Aveda products. No need to pack shampoo, conditioner, lotion, or shower gel.
The food is so simple, but so delicious. Nothing pretentious: just great, fresh food and always an offer to make you something if you do not like what they are offering as the main lunch entree. Dinner is always special. The table settings have nice little touches and there are several different options on seating.
My husband was experiencing some pain in his shoulder and back prior to our arrival at Casa de Mita and the owner, Marc, arranged for a massage by an experienced massueuse who understood and helped my husband with his pain. My husband said it was the best massage he had ever had!
All the people who work at Casa de Mita feel like family within minutes of arriving. They are so welcoming without any falseness at all. My husband and I have been all around the Caribbean and have traveled to Mexico numerous times and there is truly no other place like Casa de Mita. Before we visited Casa de Mita in 2009, we had never done a repeat at any resort (or island for that matter). Casa de Mita changed all of that. What are you waiting for? Please go ahead and book, you will have no worries here.

This was our 3rd visit to Casa de MIta and each time it gets better and better. This is your home away from home. With only 8 rooms, no TV or telephones in most rooms, it is truly THE place to relax, unwind, and disconnect from the world. Leave your electronics at home!

The service is the best part. Each of the staff members are outstanding. They are among the best hotel staff I have ever encountered in over 20 years of traveling the world for a living. Their warm smiles and positive can-do attitudes are treasured. They make you feel right at home.

If you are looking for a party atmosphere, nightclubs, shopping malls, etc -- this is not the place for you. If you are looking for long walks on the beach (no beach vendors here), gentle breezes, outdoor romantic dining, a cabana covered outdoor bed for reading and napping, a swim-up bar and all-inclusive 5 star dining this is your place.
