PARADISE
Submitted: January 8, 2013
Stayed: November 2012
Extended family from Los Angeles, Chicago, and Boston (ages 1 to 72) met up at beautiful Casa Todo Bien for Thanksgiving. From the moment we arrived to our reluctant departure a week later, everything was amazing. We can't say enough about the house, the location, the beach, and the staff. Everything was beyond incredible. We had considered staying at the nearby Four Seasons or St. Regis, but thought it might be nice to stay under one roof if we could find a place that could house all sixteen of us. We could not have made a better decision than to stay at Casa Todo Bien! Kudos to the owner Bob for providing such a first class vacation experience. His staff is truly outstanding. Karla, Kilo, Marcela, and Giovanni met every request we made, and often times exceeded our expectations. In addition to their excellent service, they are delightful people and the whole family enjoyed getting to know them. We had initially planned to make some outings during our stay in Punta Mita, but were so happy that we didn't leave at all except for a quick trip to Sayulita to buy some souvenirs for the little kids. During our stay, the staff set up surfing lessons, spa treatments, Spanish lessons, fitness and soccer training for the various family members -- all at the house. We had mentioned that one of the kids would be turning four-year old during our stay. The staff put up beautiful birthday decorations, baked a cake, and set up a pinata. When we inquired about hiring a band, the concierge recommended a Cuban quartet for us that played classic Mexican and Cuban boleros. We also told the chef that we didn't have any specific requests for a traditional Thanksgiving meal, but she went ahead and prepared a delicious turkey with her own special white wine gravy. Just a few examples of how the staff took every opportunity to make our stay so wonderful. There was so much to enjoy at Casa Todo Bien, that it's hard to pick a favorite moment, but I have to give a special mention to the beach in front of the house. The sand is buttery soft and the water is the perfect temperature. We spent many, many hours in the ocean. So much more to say, but words really can't do justice to the beautiful memories with which we came home. We can't wait to go back. Gracias a todo at Casa Todo Bien!
