Four Seasons Resort Punta Mita

Let’s start with the good. I have zero complaints on service or food, both fantastic especially for such a large resort. Which leads to the bad, coming from a smaller Mandarinia it felt like we were stepping back 20 years in time at the four seasons The resort felt crowded and like a big convention hotel, especially at the pools and the entire property felt 2 generations behind in design and quality. The rooms minus the tvs are not salvageable and they would be better off just tearing the whole resort down and starting fresh with less rooms and larger pools. If I owned such a nice piece of land I would spend hundreds of millions of dollars and completely start over. The staff uniforms are outdated and also the beach chairs. I cannot explain what a drop off it is coming here from Mandarinia.

Punta Mita is an amazing destination! I always book with PM Villas to get the best concierge service. PM Villas is the best real estate agency locally. At the four seasons, they recommended going to the Dos Catrinas bar for a sunset drink and then dinner at Aramara. It was amazing

Everything was excellent, especially the service. We had a wonderfully relaxing time and were looked after by very thoughtful staff. No complaints at all! We especially liked that there were multiple pools and beaches to choose from. It never felt crowded. As others have mentioned, the property is looking tired and this is the only area I’d say is not up to typical 4S standards. Rooms and restaurants could use a refresh and more nods to Mexican culture. Both felt outdated and a little corporate.

one of the best places I have been. Great staff, rooms are the best. We were blown away by the resort, staff food and scenery. The pool is amazing. The kids room are stacked with activities. The lazy river,, stop, we loved it. The food also, the best. We really enjoyed this resort. Great for kids and adults.

A big resort attractive to the American crowd that likes resorts and brands

We had mixed feelings about the Four Seasons Punta Mita as well as the peninsula itself. First the good. The hotel is quite beautiful in its setting and landscaping. The pools and beaches are also gorgeous. Service was universally friendly. The included breakfast was great - we only had the buffet but there were tons of options including an omelette station. The so-so. The rooms were nice, but not as nice as plenty of other resorts we have visited. Our room had a septic type smell in the entryway - did not really bother us in the bed area and we found it went away when we left the patio door open (and the ac automatically turned off). The shower was quite small with a slippery floor and no mat. Some of the newer buildings looked nicer than ours - maybe they have better rooms. We were not in one of the casitas with plunge pools. The food in the various restaurants was pretty good, but not amazing. Probably not worth the prices. We had better meals in town and around the peninsula. Finally, we really did not care for the fact that we felt the resort was walled off from the real world and local flavor. It could have been anywhere in the world. I guess safety is what people who can afford this level of luxury want, but we prefer to be in a more authentic locale on vacation. The bad. While I mentioned that food prices were high, that was nothing compared to drink prices. I'm talking a 10x markup on a bottle of wine!!! $120 for a $12 dollar bottle of New Zealand sauvignon blanc is outrageous. Even the Mexican wines were generally at least $80 - $90 for a bottle. As expected, most cocktails were $20 and up - at least that is not a 10x markup. Beer was quite reasonable. Given the number of other places we hope to visit, we will probably not come back, though other members of our family might.
