Having stayed nearby in Real del Mar, just to the south of Punta Mita, we were ready to venture out of the Exclusive Resorts' compound, and explore the dining options at the Four Seasons. Ketsi appealed to us due to its casual setting under a giant palapa on the beach. We were dressed appropriately (resort casual) so we asked our concierge to make us a reservation later that evening at Ketsi. A hallmark of Four Seasons is unbelievable hospitality and over-the-top service, in a beautiful setting. This was our experience at the Four Seasons in Punta Mita and it continued at Ketsi. Greeters, hosts/hostesses and servers genuinely engage guests--not just with small talk, but in genuine conversations. The level of professionalism and care is evident throughout the grounds and the restaurant.
We had an enthusiastic server who was eager and excited to acquaint us with Ketsi's unique cocktails and their obscure ingredients. He spent 15 minutes explaining the significance of the ingredients to the local area, including a brief history on the Tequila Mezcal regions where the crops from which the local drinks are grown. It worked! Every member of my party ordered a Tequila or Mezcal based specialty cocktail, and each one was was spectacular and shared with everyone.
I would consider staying here or at the St. Regis, which is also inside the Punta Mita gate. Between the two properties, there are a dozen interesting restaurants catering to nearly every taste. read more
