4 Reviews of Property 228650 in Punta Mita, Mexican Riviera

We stayed at Porta Fortuna villa #13 from Dec 17 - Jan 2nd 2011/12, and loved our stay. (Porta Fortuna is one of the sub-areas within the Punta Mita gated community). Were were a group of two families with two kids (under 1 year of age). The unit is fabulous - the photos dont do it justice. We had breakfast every morning at the table outside the kitchen overlooking the poop / golf course / ocean. We had someone come over every morning and give us private yoga lessons / massages. We would spend some afternoons lazing by the pool (just the right size for kids). We loved the food in the restaurants around - Porta Fortuna has one just a few steps from our unit, called "Sufi" - amazing food, and lovely setting overlooking a beach. The beach club as well had very good food - loved one Pablano Pepper preparation with tuna. We also had a chef come home and cook for us - most of these services were arranged through the concierge on short notice. We loved playing golf, especially since we could take our time, and never felt rushed - the views were gorgeous! The golf cart that comes with the unit comfortably seated five adults and two babies, including all the baby paraphernalia (strollers etc.). The St. Regis was a short drive - and has a lovely beach front, which we enjoyed spending afternoons. The restaurants at the St. Regis and Four Seasons were very good too. The entire time we stayed there, we never once ate a burrito or taco - that's how diverse the food options were (and we stuck to "local" food preparations too!). We went to the village outside the gate a couple of times (ate at Cafe Des Artists - highly recommend), and to Porta Vallarta down town (lovely!) (ate at a vegetarian buffet place - quaint and yummy) - and enjoyed all of it - though we spent most of our time in the unit since we were so comfortable. The daily cleaning service was very professional and never intrusive.
Overall, I highly recommend this unit - best of all, service was excellent - everyone responded promptly - we even had to have the doctor make a house call. The only tip I'd like to share is to stop by the Walmart on the way from the airport to do some grocery shopping (bread / eggs / veggies if you decide to cook some meals at home). The convenience store outside the gates is close by, but limited in it's choice of foods. Going out of the gates by cab is otherwise expensive, and takes up half the day (about an hour each way driving). The owners have been super helpful all through.
