W Punta de Mita

Nice hotel and beautiful setting. Sunsets can be stunning. I have stayed here twice. The first time there was a very loud wedding after party above us that went until 3 am. Called the front desk but made no impact. The second time I did not have that issue and it was nice and quiet. I have only stayed in the suites here with the plunge pool and those rooms are great. Food options are limited. For me the lush landscape and great beach along with great rooms are the reason to stay. Service and food is why I rate this 4 stars.

The W Punta de Mita is an unforgettable mix of luxury, style, and vibrant Mexican charm. From the moment you arrive, you’re greeted with the W’s signature energy—playful yet upscale. The property feels like a tropical oasis with lush jungle surroundings opening up to the most stunning stretch of beach. The design is modern and colorful, with plenty of Instagram-worthy details that still feel authentic to the culture of the region. Rooms are spacious, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed, many with breathtaking ocean views. The staff truly make the experience exceptional—they’re warm, attentive, and go out of their way to personalize your stay. Dining is also a highlight: from fresh ceviche by the pool to gourmet dinners with a view, every meal felt like part of the vacation. Whether you’re lounging at the pool, taking a surf lesson, or enjoying a sunset cocktail, the vibe is always fun and relaxed. Perfect for couples, friends, or even a solo recharge.

One of my favorite spa getaways - and favorite spas in the world!!! I've been here either 3 or 4 times in the last couple of years, including a very long unplanned stay in January when the LA fires broke out mid-stay. All my friends know this is one of my go-tos for when I'm super burnt out and need a getaway, so 5 stars. PROPERTY: So gorgeous, half beach and half jungle vibes. I've seen some of the prettiest sunsets of my life here. They are extremely generous with upgrades (one of the most important things to me as an Ambassador elite who basically lives at various Ws), most of the time I'm in a suite with a private pool. I've seen the inside of a standard room too and think those are also nice. I am hoping the next time I stay, I can be in one of the newly renovated rooms as the decor is much more my vibe (neutral and relaxing) vs the super colorful decor that most have today. I love walking around the property to get my steps in, there are constantly people taking care of the grounds. The gym is also stunning, gorgeous jungle views and lots of equipment (all new). Most W gyms these days are amazing and I really appreciate that! SPA: Ambassador status (and Titanium) also gets you free access and discounts at the spa - one of my favorites in the world for a couple reasons. 1) the facilities - gorgeous pools of various temps across a tropical backdrop. SO relaxing. And, they have a sauna and a steam room in each locker room. 2) the massages are INCREDIBLE. I've had treatments from Carmen, Kenia, Moises, Lupita, Rubina - I can't even describe how much better I feel after and how I've NEVER had a bad massage even after probably having a dozen+ across all my stays. The de-stress massage is my go-to, along with the all-day journey they have. Cindy and Saul who run the spa always make me feel right at home, Annie who is one of the attendants always brings around their homemade blueberry green tea popsicles and hibiscus tea (my faves). FOOD: Breakfast at Venazu (also open for lunch/dinner) is absolutely amazing (free with status), the food is delicious whether it's a la carte (lower occupancy days) or buffet. In particular, Felipe is my favorite server and always remembers me, has the best attitude and service. Lunch/Dinner options include: - Venazu: same as above - more traditional Mexican, used to have amazing duck carnitas but no more - Spice Market: Asian fusion and has this tomato kasundi dip I dream about - Chevy: Ceviche on the beach - not open past like 7 but delicious and huge portions - Rubra: super fancy tasting menu but actually the worst dining experience of my life, slow/clueless service, absent management, I DON'T RECOMMEND Drinks are amazing everywhere and this property is where I fell in love with mezcal! SERVICE: Sometimes the service is not the best... I do think they really try. Gustavo in particular (I think the welcome desk manager?) has always tried to resolve any service issue I've had and Hector from Concierge is better than most of the front desk associates, but sometimes you just get someone who doesn't understand, or isn't totally truthful, or takes a long time to get back to you. There's been a bit of miscommunication in every stay that I've had (housekeeping not showing up when requested, hours to restaurants being incorrect, rude messages via the app). I met the GM Oscar and Jazmin director of rooms during a recent stay and I appreciated that both took the time to listen to some of my feedback, as I do truly love this hotel and will continue coming back. I hope the service can become as seamless as some other Ws (like London). BOTTOM LINE: Have been here many times and will continue coming back! Just waiting for rainy season to be over :)

Extraordinary hotel. Very comfortable. Great service. Very nice staff. Spectacular food. Incredible sceneries. Highly recommended.

Everything was perfect, from the food to the service. Antonio took great care of us with drinks and food during our stay. Everyone that works there is super friendly.
