The owner met us on the beach and walked us up the 124 steps to the top of the hill that opened up to a lovely courtyard, pool, hot tub, and hammocks. Casa Emilie is a very simple open air home with a net covered bed, full bathroom, and basic kitchen amenities. Make sure to bring your own shower products as they are not provided. We opened our wooden windows to the amazing Bahia de Banderas, cool gentle breezes, and sounds of nature all around. The bed itself isn't very comfortable, and sleeping with a big net was definitely trial and error. There are no lights at night and flashlights were provided for us to get around town. At night you can see every star in the sky. A wonderfully romantic getaway!

The cons were; bad customer service with the front desk employees, the beds were stiff as a board, the pillows were also stiff, the bathroom smelled like mold/mildew. The elevator broke down as we were checking out and had to take the stairs( the staff didnt even offer help with luggage, we had to take three flights of stairs with our luggage in hand) we passed by three employees. Lastly we had to give up our wristbands that were given to us when we checked in, i asked the front end lady if i can keep it she said no, i asked if i can buy it so i can have it as a souvenir and she said no rudely. All this left us with a sour taste in our mouth, it ruined the trip to guayabitos...the beach was great...hotel no so great.

We were on the lower floor of this amazing treehouse. If you're not into the sound of the ocean,…read morelook elsewhere, but we loved it! It's the best white noise in the world! The fact that there's no front wall means that on those rare occasions when someone is below you, they can see you if you are right by the edge. But you only have to back up a few feet and you're hidden. And it's definitely worth it for the effect of being so close to the ocean. They provide snorkeling gear, and you can step into the water from just a few feet from your door. And the tiny inlet right there had tons of cool fish! I could have snorkeled all day! There's also a very small beach nearby. Otherwise, you're a pretty decent walk from town and the main beach. It was off-putting the first night we went to dinner, but Yelapa is so beautiful (and there's no hurry to do things) that we came to appreciate the nice walk to and from town. And you can't really snorkel at the main beach anyway! A couple little issues: the bed was extremely hard. We both like firm beds, but this was just too much and neither of us got a good night's sleep. There were two beds and we actually only tried one because it was in a better location (the other was right by the door and would get the blazing morning sun). But it's possible the other bed was softer, though it looked the same. The other little issue was that there wasn't really anyplace to put your clothes and bags. We didn't have much, but we ended up just keeping it on the other bed. They rented out kayaks for something like 10 pesos. When you're charging someone $100/night, you ought to just throw in the kayaks for free! But it wasn't a big deal and it was very convenient to be able to kayak from right out your door. I'd stay there again, though I'd like to try to plan a family trip and stay in the penthouse with 6 or more of us.

It's an open air structure so if you are a light sleeper, it's probably not the best place for you. Bring an eye mask as the sunlight is bright. The only negative we experienced was there was a terrible thunderstorm at night and the unit got flooded as well as filled with creepy crawlies that sought higher ground. Having said that, the staff laid out concrete the next day and we were fine the next night. Overall, we really enjoyed the stay.

By far the worst resort customer service we've ever experience with a "5 star resort". I have never…read morehad to follow up on an email 5-6x to get a response, and still they have yet to respond.

He started looking at resorts and beach clubs that offered day passes during a busy time of year (Christmas holidays) and came up short. Until he was put in touch with Imanta Resort, that is. A few days later, we went, along with two other couples to spend the day at Imanta. It was quite the exclusive get-away, and just what we needed. We spent the morning on a nearby hike and then found our way to Imanta and needless to say, we were not disappointed. We were warmly welcomed by Jeremi, who took us in a golf cart from the reception area to the beach club. That's where we met Pete and his staff, who made us delectable drinks and eats to enjoy all afternoon long. We took turns getting pampered with some outdoor spa services and taking in one of the most scenic and beautiful beach spots in super comfortable day beds. At the end of the day, Fernando took us to reception and gave us a tour of the rooftop bar / restaurant. We were all disappointed to learn that we couldn't stay for dinner as they were full for the evening. Yes, it's pricey, but if you are in need of some quiet time at a top knotch, beautiful venue on the beach, and can make it work, I highly recommend a visit to Imanta!

A few steps from the hotel casual local restaurants offer shrimp, fish and lobster that was just caught. Each room has a little kitchenette and we enjoyed having breakfast and enjoying an afternoon drink each day on the patio overlooking the ocean. Jim, the owner, is an attentive host. He helped us with bus/taxi arrangements and suggestions for day trips as we desired. The decoration of the rooms and grounds is kitschy, artistic and fun. Note - if you are looking for a pool with a swim up bar kind of place, this is not for you.
