Truly a luxury experience. We opted for the room with the larger plunge pool and patio and TOTALLY got our money’s worth. Great staff, good food. Nice bed and they leave surprise treats every day: little cookies, two cervasas with chips and guac, and so on. THE BEST

Cala de Mar is an incredible property. The views are amazing and the staff is always welcoming. We believe it is the best property in the area. We have lived here for 32 years and have visited most of the properties in this category. Even though we live on the beach here we enjoy visiting the resorts in the area. No other property even comes close.

Top notch hotel. Very private. Very luxurious. Extremely comfortable. Amazing views. Great food. And the staff is among the best we have ever encountered. For example, our waiter (Victor) made special coffee (cafe de olla) for my wife our last day there. If you haven’t heard of this, look it up. Amazing stuff. We will definitely be back.

Beautiful setting overlooking a rocky Pacific coast. Good rooms and suites (try a family suite). Two pools. Even when full seems quite quiet. Friendly service. Restaurant capacity not quite up to rest of offer. Service is friendly but often slow. Breakfast and lunch offering good. Dinner offering limited to two restaurants (fish and mexican) and would get a bit tired if here fit a long stay. (For four nights was fine). Bear in mind not good for those with mobility issues (lots of steps) or toddlers/small children (funicular lifts would be a big of a nightmare). But mostly a very good report - for adults a great place to relax, lie in sun and eat well. Less than an hour’s flight from Mexico City so a great add on.

If you are looking for a place to relax, have privacy, healthy food, and just view the ocean, this is a such a great place. We stayed in suite 71, bathroom was huge, AC in the room was cold, and the patio deck was beautiful, with a pool, hammock, lounge couch, tv and tanning chairs. The staff were excellent, and the day trips from this hotel were so easy!!! Very safe and very clean!
