We had the absolute BEST and I mean BEST trip ever at the W Punta de Mita. The W Punta Mita took care of every wish and need going above and beyond at every step. It was pure relaxation and amazing vibes all around. The property is truly stunning from the rooms, to the restaurants, the pools, the beach (our favorite), and the spa (absolutely must book something at the Spa to experience it). The excursion we booked was great and very easy to coordinate as you can book through the hotel. Truly what made this trip so special though was staff. They were absolutely amazing and all so kind. From the front to desk to wait staff to spa to bellhops. A couple special shoutouts below and I hope whoever is reading this gets to meet them: Itza: AMAZING poolside service. We loved getting to know her and she was so kind to us and remembered our orders after the first day so we would come down to the pool or back from the beach and have our drinks waiting for us. Augustino: Incredibly friendly and anticipated everything we could need. He had waters waiting for us at our chairs, drink refills just as we finished our current drinks, great food recommendations, and even better conversations. Gabby: At venazu she was our waitress on our first night and she was so fun to talk to. We chatted with her throughout the rest of our stay and is so much fun! Marco: FANTASTIC bartender at the living room bar. Was so nice chatting with him and having him make some cocktails or trying new liquors we haven't had before. Leiti & Gustavo: Both were fantastic at the front desk from check-in to check-out. We stopped by a few times throughout our stay to check on things and they were always so kind and helpful. Estella & Josue: Both helped us coordinate transportation to and from the airport and also an excursion to the marietas islands (you MUST go). Josue was so detail oriented and very easy to work with and Estella was amazing too. We will definitely be coming back again and making it a yearly trip :) read more

3.5 star hotel at a 4 star price! W Punta de Mita is a fine hotel, tucked about 45 minutes away from Puerto Vallarta on a no traffic day, and maybe 75 minutes if there is bad weather. Two pools, one for all ages and another solely for adults. I think there were really only 4 restaurants in the entire hotel site. Chevycheria, which is a beach ceviche spot. Spice Market, which was Vietnamese. Venazu, which admittedly I didn't visit. And Rubra, which has a $200.00 tasting menu. There's also the pool food, which was perfectly adequate. If you're more of a vacationer than a traveler, then I think you'll find your stay here more than enjoyable. It is a hassle trying to get an uber to get you to the airport or to puerto vallarta, but there are also 2 or 3 other hotels in the area, so there may be drivers around. Regarding my experience, I was slightly annoyed that I didn't get a Marriot Elite upgrade to my room (the hostess said since I booked with points, that was a no-go). In reading someone else's Yelp review, they mentioned they at least got free breakfasts, which annoys me even more now since I wasn't offered that. Cleaning was spotty, as the first day the room wasn't cleaned until 6:00pm or so. The next day the room wasn't even cleaned at all. Overall, not an incredibly huge fan. read more

This was a really fun hotel with a beautiful beachfront. It feels like you are traveling in a jungle (because you probably are). If you are keen to notice details, past the initial layer of greenery, the place feels a bit unkempt and is hidden away in what almost feels like the middle of nowhere. You'll need to drive through some pretty rough looking stretch of roads after turning left randomly into a side road from the main highway without any signage before reaching the hotel. We followed directions from Google Maps and was led to what I assume was the service or back entrance to the hotel. You'll actually want to drive to the white rectangular structure near the northeast edge of the property, the vehicle lobby. They offer complimentary valet or self parking, and then will golf cart you in the main lobby to check in and then after a round of welcome drinks, to your room. They also provided a welcome gift of a kite, but it looked pretty simple but good enough for kids to mess around with. They were able to offer me a much appreciated upgrade to an Ocean View room. Unfortunately, the shower pressure was weak, and the water temperature was inconsistent. It wasn't very hot on the first day, and then scorching on the second. The room is a little bit on the smaller side, and it has an open bath concept which we weren't a fan of. There is one single pool, but it wasn't very crowded during our stay. They also offered a big treasure box of beach toys for the kids as well as sunscreen and aloe vera. We also received complimentary breakfast due to Bonvoy status, and kids ate free. They had some good options for fruit juice, pastries, eggs, bacon, and sausage. It wasn't huge, but decent enough selection that you don't have to repeat getting the same thing. On the far end of the restaurant is an omelet station too. They seemed to be getting busier on the day of checkout. We asked if it was possible for a late checkout, but they were only able to offer a 12:30pm. Overall, this was a fun stay. It would be great if they can spend a little bit more on the jungle ambiance to make it feel more intentional and refined instead of just a hotel built within wild foliage. read more

Five-star hotel at a five-star price First let's hit the high point... the customer service is EXCELLENT. Everyone, and I mean everyone, on property go out of their way to ensure the guests are taken care of. Super friendly, helpful and fun. This beautiful hotel is nestled into a beautiful lush jungle and beach area, spanning 4 restaurants, 2 pools, tons of beach access, and a lovely outdoor seating area. When guests arrive, they are greeted with a delicious libation, then sent off to the room where your bags will be delivered to you. You can walk the property or be driven around by golf cart, should you choose that option. This property offers a variety of food choices, surf board rentals, pools, sand volleyball, live music, entertainment, and more. This place also caters to company retreats, weddings, honeymoons etc.... Just minutes from the local town, which also has a variety of shops, bars, hotels, and restaurants, the W offers a lovely retreat and easy access to the west coast of PV. The W offers different room types and each one is amazing. From rooms with beach/pool views, to room with your own pool access, to lush jungle abodes. I'm so glad my husband and I chose this fun and beautiful resort. read more

I highly suggest this place the only thing I negative I can say is the rooms are cute and it felt like glamorous glamping trip in the middle of the jungle the rooms can use an upgrade but aside from that I'll come back. read more

Can't wait to see all the friendly staff at the W Punta Mita. This is our home away from home

My husband and I stayed at the W Punta de Mita for a friend's wedding. We were in one of their "jungle"rooms, located on the bottom floor. The room was clean and spacious with fun local art and bright pops of color. The bed was comfortable and the staff made sure that we had everything we wanted and needed. They kept the room stocked with plenty of bottled water and fresh towels. From start to finish our entire trip was tremendous. This was my first trip to Mexico and my first time staying at a resort like this. The staff were extremely engaging and friendly, and made everything super easy. The food at the various eateries was absolutely delicious and the drinks at the pool were strong. The bride and groom had arranged for yoga and a couple meals while we were staying there. Morning yoga overlooking the ocean was absolutely breathtaking. The pools were refreshing and helped with the humidity. All in all, with no other real point of comparison since this was my first resort experience and trip to Mexico, I absolutely loved it. read more

Terrible food. Inexcusable! I don't think they had an active kitchen, just a wait staff that turned on the hot plate!

Such a cool hotel! The best part was the staff! The Alejandros LoL ! Got a day pass for $100 (which is spent on consuming drinks and food). Gets you beachside Access, lounge chairs and the adult pool is like WOW!!!! They had a DJ from 3-9pm. We ordered two types of ceviche (soooooo good!!!) and very fresh! Let me tell you- the day pass is per person but totally worth it! I did not drink or eat more than $100 worth from 1-8pm but I was full and drunk ! read more

The best thing about W is the casitas instead of a traditional multi-level resort rooms set up. You have your own entrance and back patio (opted for the lake view so it opens up to the water) that are not shared with other guests. The walk from the beach up to the room is very scenic. The rooms are not terribly spacious but due to smart design and layout, they appears to be much bigger. Food is decent but nothing out of the ordinary. Bests are the fresh grills specials outside of their normal dining menu. read more

I love that a lot of people love this place for the decor and unique style.. I would have loved to give a 5 star rating as well but I have plenty disappointments and for the brand W, now Marriott, they could have done so much better for the price and advertisements they have around this property. It is beautiful, absolutely no doubt and really colorful as anything in one of the most colorful cities should be.. but I could have benefited and loved my stay, without repenting on why I chose this place over just a few $100 more at Four Seasons per night! 1) The Staff needs more training on how to deal with customers, different questions, problems, suggestions they could give, etc 2) Each resort we have stayed at including a very remote one in Belize, usually has cash either USD or local currency in case the visitors need some change even for tips etc. That was really weird 3) We checked in and no one mentioned anything like "we have two restaurants at the property and they are located here and here" OR "breakfast is 6-11 am at this restaurant" OR "we have a bar by the beach" OR "lunch and dinner starts at this time" 4) They checked us in to 3004 and there were mosquitoes, one that we smashed on the wall, others that even their staff saw and gave us a spray. With that inconvenience next morning I called them and said I want to change my room and see if there is an upgrade.. I Paid $140 per night for that upgrade to help myself get away from what was their property issue. We moved to room 3104 and there were no mosquitoes in that room! So we saved ourselves from getting tortured for the next two nights 5) The food, btw, isn't that great! Also the buffet is expensive for what they have to offer.. 6) The rooms have a safety observation.. in room 3004 there was a step that is same color as the floor and you have to take it to use the bathroom even at night.. that was really odd 7) one night they provided turn down service and the other night they did not. During turn down service most resorts would either leave a small note, or turn down curtains, change towels if needed and make the room ready.. here it was just the bed! 8) They could small fans or table fans like other places around their main area on the property for people at the bar or while checking in or using their fancy couches... A lot of people told us while we were at Sayulita that you should have stayed at Four Seasons or St Regis since those are much dryer and at the beach so the mosquitoes are rare/relatively less compared to the W.. I wish I would have researched more. I did not enjoy the stay and I wasted my money which is worse. I stayed at Hacienda San Angel for the first half of my trip and I had no such issues, in fact it was amazing and great hospitality with smiling faces and awesome cultural touch. read more

W-hotel chain--we have a W in Scottsdale, so my opinion might be tainted by that location. Uber- not too many drivers out here. Yikes!! Getting into gate for our Uber driver was PIA every single time it seemed. I think they preferred us to use the hotel car service. $40 -one way-to closest town Punta Mita-20 min away. We would tell the front desk & for some odd reason, our driver names never got to the guard gates so they wouldn't let him in. 2 guard gates. Are they expecting a coup or what? I understand this is Mexico but c'mon? Location-- very isolated & chill place if that's what you want. If you are looking for only R &R. This is your place. Or bring your own group of friends to party. TTD-- If you are looking for stuff to do. You might want to stay in Sayulitas... 40 minutes away- a cute little town with tons of night life. Or head into Punta Mita (20 min), very chill beautiful town with surfing, fishing, etc. but shuts down at night. Hotel--Uber chic & grounds are beautiful. Felt safe walking around the grounds. See pix. Got a room with ocean, but I think it might have been better with the artificial lake view. You pull in & must take a golf cart to the front desk & that's pretty much where you can go to eat, pool, etc. Service-- hit & miss. The champagne (Vueve was $200), Choco covered strawberries & flowers were waiting for for me in the room. But of course, as it would be...needed feminine products, called front desk & they were never delivered to the room. Sent hubby to finally buy them. Ice was delivered every time I asked. Maid service was on point. Rooms were spotless. Nickel & dime-- took my champagne bottle to the pool & was charged a bottle opening fee $50 from champagne that we bought from the hotel? whah? Adult pool-- lap pool, very chill. They are construction/building right behind the adult pool so the construction noise was annoying. I just moved over to main pool by dj which blocked out the noise. Beds-- ahhmazing!! Marriot's beds are the best!! Especially since I do use vacations to catch up on sleep among other things with my hubby. Overall, ok-stay. Good, but not great. But remember, I come from a resort town, so my expectations might be a bit high. For the $$$, Meh-- don't think I'll be back. read more

WOW! Wow wow wow. Wow wow wow wow wow. That's it. Review finished. Let's start at the beginning. I didn't take the car service/shuttle from PVR because I decided to rent a car. We planned a day trip to Sayulita and I rented the car for $50US for 3 days. The shuttle is $100 each way. Do the math. However, I can see how if you're spending $400+ on a room, $200 car ride might not mean much to you. The valet is great. Super efficient and friendly service. You can call from your room with the number and they will have the car ready when you get there or you can wait less than 3 min to have them fetch the car. The grounds are incredibly beautiful. Perfectly manicured and great landscaping. The view of the ocean and sunset is magnificent. Check-in was easy. We had to change the room so there was a 30 min delay and instead of making us wait, our clerk found us by the pool to give us our keys. Now that's service. The pools are both fun and beautiful. They are open 24 hours, which I looooved. The beach is gorgeous and clean. The water is nice too with not many rocks and waves that break about 25m off shore. The rooms are well appointed. At first I thought I was going to hate the 2 sliding door thing but once you open them both and the ocean breeze flows in, you'll understand that design choice. We ate at every restaurant except Spice Market (I've been to the one in NYC and I didn't come to Mexico for Thai food) and I don't think one of them was bad. The lobby bar has the best drinks! Every employee here was friendly and accommodating. I truly felt taken care of. Outstanding! read more

Stunning grounds and all around gorgeous hotel. A group of us visited for a night to attend a swimwear fashion show. We had 3 rooms which were all decorated in the same very modern fashion - large super comfortable beds, a small fridge with ice bucket and bar accoutrements, a very high priced mini bar, gorgeous bathtub with shower, patio, and absolutely NO privacy within the room. We were able to be on the patios and have privacy as well as our entry way courtyards donned with a swinging hammock chair and a bistro set. However, since we shared our room with another couple, we had to be strategic about showering and dressing as the bathroom was all glass. It was super cute and very cozy. The TV was way too big for the small space, though. The grounds are sprawling with lush grassy areas, plenty of palm trees and local foliage, and pieces of art. There are golf cart drivers who will take you to and from your room for no charge. The lobby is stunning - art work, large comfortable sofas, and the most beautiful tile runway I've seen leading out to a catwalk above the pool. The pool was loooooooong, but only about 4' deep, and warmer than a bath. We didn't find it refreshing as it was a bajillion degrees outside with oppressive humidity, but it was lovely nonetheless. Of course the sand in Nayarit is white and soft with gentle waves that break back instead of directly on the beach as in Vallarta. There is a super cute old truck converted into a bar on the beach, plenty of tables and chairs around the grounds, water sports rentals, and a couple of restaurants. It's not all-inclusive which I find bizarre for this area as there is literally nowhere to go, but I guess that's how they get you. $400/night (we had a travel agent discount, thankfully) plus the insanely high food and beverage prices make this a very expensive vacation if staying for a week or more. I found it perfect for just one night, though. The show was fantastic and I would love to be able to stay here again! read more

Stayed here for 2 nights as the start of my 7 days trip in Puerto Vallarta. Upon arrival after traveling flying and 1:30 hour taxi ride I finally arrived and was given a Room with pretty much NO AC and it's 100 degrees and humidity as hell in the jungle. Hotel is in the jungle. Long story short instead of being upset I just took it for the night and switch rooms next day. Was suppose to have my points for night crediting back to me but never did. Matter fact gave me the run around and as a gold Marriott member that kind of sucks. My own rewards card wasting my time and money. SAVE YOUR MONEY and don't come to this hotel. It's boring. No Live music matter fact no music anywhere at all 2 restaurants that are basic and the beach is Nice but be prepared for some big waves. Make sure you can swim. Other then that Punta Mita side four season or St Regis is better couldn't be more upset with my stay and how I was treated read more

Well gracias a diosito that I stayed at the W Punta De Mita back when they first opened in summer of 2016, because word is officially out. This is the largest and most unique and beautifully designed resort-style W Hotel that I ever stayed at, with prices ranging from $500-1K+ US dollars a night. Yeesh. But what you get for that price point: a massive hotel with multiple restaurants, a breathtaking spa, villas, a gorgeous beach, bicycles throughout the property and an A-list staff. During our stay, there were only a handful of guests, so we were able to practically take over the property and all of its amenities. Now? Not sure how busy it gets - especially the pool which hosts the occasional daytime fiesta with a DJ. If you get a chance to stay at W, do it. Honestly, the neighboring Saint Regis is lovely - but for a posh, young, fun and boutiquey experience, go W. read more

Young kids, young wine and young hotels all have something in common. They all age and mature. This hotel is a youngster at only a few months, but has all the potential to be a full fledged super star. Sure, just like kids there is stuff you go "really?", but it's small stuff stuff that will go away with time and great W management that is in place here. The rooms are some of the most fun I've ever stayed at. The art and detail is fantastic! The layout of the hotel feels perfect with every room has a distinct personality. The pool area is so quintessential W. Fun and playful. Is the music a tad too loud? Maybe, but ask and it will be fixed. You're at a W btw! The ceviche bus is so fresh and fun, the staff is the same. The Wet Bar is delicious and the staff will mature and grow with time. The other signature restaurants are on the list to try. The beach is one of the best around and the water is warm! But, I'll tell you right now,...this is a great resort that will become a rare wine with age. Or that kid you always knew would make it. You heard it here!! read more

As Platinum Bonvoy members we were upgraded from the Wonderful Jungle Escape room we booked to a Spectacular Ocean/Lake View room. The room was delightful. There was a private courtyard/patio between the front door and the room itself, with one swing/chair and another chair to enjoy the sun. The room itself was open, bright, and airy-- decorated in bright colors and surfboards, with authentic Mexican touches and modern art featuring Frida Kahlo and Pancho VIlla complimenting what I have come to expect as the latest, more modern W style. The room was divided by a rainbow-colored open shelving unit, separating the bedroom/living area from the dual vanities and shower room, which faced the lake with a rain shower and oversized tub. The room was perfectly laid out for maximum use and enjoyment of the airy space. The back of the room opened onto a very private terrace on the tiered "lake" (think giant, tiered fountain) which had a lounger built for two with a comfy outdoor mattress for relaxing, sun-bathing, or drinking morning coffee/tea, of which we availed ourselves each morning. Our main reason for visiting was R&R, so we made use of the beach and a VIP cabana ("La Rosy" was ours; they are all uniquely named and decorated) at the adults-only pool, which is literally touching the beach and the bay. The very large private beach is a great place to sit on a cabana daybed and watch the surfers. The adults-only pool is a great, secluded place to enjoy the music playing and cool off in the hot sun. I would highly recommend the VIP cabanas-- they are two-story units, each with a large sundeck with four chairs and an umbrella perfect for sunning (or drying off in the shade) and a downstairs with a personal outdoor shower and an interior space that can be made private with curtains, complete with a private bathroom. We spent most of our time on the property in La Rosy and cannot say enough good things about the staff who took care of us. Hector, the F&B manager, personally greeted us and ensured we were set up in our cabana each day and immediately tended to. The guys at the pool-- Daniel, Sergio, and Ever, took excellent care of us all day, seamlessly transitioning between between each other ensuring we were constantly attended too; no matter who checked in on us, took or delivered our orders-- everything was perfect, punctual, pleasant, and unobtrusive. I highly recommend the Merequetengue for something slightly sweet but also spicy to start...and the Piwiwi for a more refreshing/less sweet afternoon cocktail pool or beach-side. The food at "Wet"--as W's pools are named, is also great. If you are celebrating a special occasion, you must dine at Mesa1, the single-table private dining ..experience (restaurant would be under-selling it) in the middle of the lake at the center of the property. The table is covered with silver and pink orbs under glass hurricanes, lanterns, and candles. A tree trunk emerges from the center with a pink and green vine crawling up the bark and then trickling down, giving what I can only describe as the feel of an adult version of an enchanted forest. There are 3 menus-- Agua, Aire, Tierra to choose from, each one to satisfy a different palate. The seven course tasting menu (really 12 with the amuse-bouche, sorbet, and multiple desserts, etc.) was absolutely amazing. We were attended to most kindly and attentively (and unobtrusively) by Abraham, who anticipated our every need, never rushed us (or left us to lay in wait for too long), and made us feel welcome and at home, safe, and like no one else in the world existed. My husband had the "water" menu, and myself the "earth"-- both were mouth-watering, beautifully plated, appropriately portioned (who can enjoy seven courses if you're stuffed after three!), with each presented and revealed simultaneously under a silver cloche, so that each course was a little, delightful surprise. Our favorites were the cannelloni filled with lobster & foie gras and the Wagyu rib eye, respectively. All of the service at the resort was completely on-point, emblematic of a culture of service and customer-focus seemingly long forgotten. The general manager David and his assistant Mario personally visited us at the pool and ensured our every need was attended to. To ensure even our departure was as painless as possible (we didn't want to leave), the staff arranged for us a luxury car to the airport, charged to our room, right on time... again completely seamless. read more

This hotel is wonderful. We stayed four nights at the W in Punta de Mita over the 4th of July weekend. We loved everything about the trip, but the things that stood out the most were: --The hotel design and architecture. It incorporates many traditional Mexican themes and elements from the region, including the colorful Huichol walkway that runs from the ocean through the main lobby. --The hotel grounds. This is a vast property but the landscaping is immaculate. The jungle region, were our room was located, is very well-kept and relaxing. It's not far from the beach / pools, but you can ask for a ride in one of the many hotel golf carts if you don't feel like walking. --The food and drinks. We had both breakfast and dinner at Venazu and dinner once at Spice Market. Everything we tried was delicious. The Mexican food at Venazu is very good and Spice Market has some flavorful Asian cuisine as well as creative cocktails. --The service. The staff were fantastic everywhere on the property. Waiters would constantly check on us at both the pools and the restaurants. We never waited long for food or drinks, even though there were a lot of other guests to tend to. Our room was always quickly and fully cleaned during the day and everything replenished. --Cristina, the bartender at the main lobby bar, was particularly wonderful and attentive. She took the time to chat with us and explain the history of the hotel to us and tell stories about some of its design features. Her drinks were excellent as well. --The pools and beach. There are two pools, one for general use and one for adults only. Both are well-staffed and have plenty of space to lay out. The adult pool has a side that is partly clear acrylic paneling, which makes for some great photos. Very cool! The beach is two steps away from the pool and private. You can do a number of water sports if that is your thing. All in all, we had an amazing stay and we'll definitely be back. Thanks W! read more

We had an amazing overall experience from the moment we got to the property. Punta De Mita is a really small remote area of Nayarit Mexico, and the W is nestled quaintly, on an amazing piece of coast. What we loved was the decor, the greenery, the feeling of seclusion but mostly the employees and the FOOD! As pretty as this place is, it is nothing without the hospitality of the amazingly well mannered and friendly staff. They truly made a memorable experience. After a few days you begin to feel as if you've been visiting for weeks and everyone knows who you are. And the food? OMG, the food is absolutely impeccable. Without exaggeration, some of the best seafood I have ever had and definitely the best Shrimp I ever had hands down. Collectively, they have 4 eateries on location with a special, different "pop-up" grill each night. Those pop-up grills is where we had a seafood medley that changed our lives. They have a Ceviche bar! Best Ceviche of our lives too! This Resort is a VIBE! I undoubtedly would go again and hope to soon! A very special thank you to Sebastian, Peycha, Six, Karla, Abraham, David, & Jasiel! You guys rock and without you lot, our experience would have been simply mediocre. It was because of you all, our trip was so special. read more

My husband and I stayed at the W for about a week in July with our small dog. The hotel is stunning! Super modern and hip and they took every safety precaution possible to make all the guest feel comfortable and safe. The food was outstanding and the service was impeccable. It is also extremely dog friendly, they even have a dog menu!! We were also to reserve the gym for an hour every day to ourselves. It was very clean and the equipment was fantastic. After a week, we went to the St. Regis which is closer to the actual town, but after a few days we came rushing back again to the W. There's no comparison! We stayed there for another 3 nights. The beach is so beautiful and the pool is lovely. They even had a DJ on Friday night in the lobby and on Saturday during the day by the pool. They can arrange cars for you to drive into town if you want to check out some different restaurants but we barely felt the need to leave the premises. HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO STAY AT THIS LOVELY HOTEL!!! read more

Our stay in this hotel has ruined all my future stays anywhere else because it was so incredible!! The property itself is absolutely stunning and exclusive but what really made our stay impeccable was the SERVICE from the super awesome staff! From the moment we walked in Yolani welcomed us as ambassadors and made us feel like she was 100% there for us to make our stay memorable (which she did!). Diana welcomed us daily by the pool and took care of us in our cabanas. We called her the "bee" because she literally zooms around everywhere so quickly to make sure everyone is taken care of. Paul in the main restaurant was the same! Literally running all day and night while doing it with a smile! He made sure we had everything we needed and more. Finally, Jesus who is a waiter in the seafood restaurant by the water was our favorite. He took the time to make us feel so special and welcome and went above and beyond to make our vacation the best. Absolutely impeccable service here that we always compare everything else to now-and honestly everyone else seems to fall short. We stated here almost a year ago (sorry it took me so long to leave this review) but as you can see these people all made such an impression because all this time later I still remember their names-- and I am NOT good with names lol. read more

Good pool service and the resort workers are generally very efficient and nice. Great aesthetics and design of the property, it's well designed. That's about it. Where to begin? I thought Mr. David Gauna, the new General Manager was brought in to make the W Punta De Mita better and not worse? Recall that several years back, this hotel did not even try to honor Elite benefits and/or upgrades. We all have our reasons for wanting to stay at a W hotels. Many of us are raving fans of this hotel brand as well as our loyalty to Marriott. Myself personally, I have stayed at 6 other W hotels worldwide including the W Bali. The fact that I purchase bath and bedding products at the W Hotels The Store website for my home, that alone should tell you something about my loyalty and love for the W Hotels brand. And I also have the W Maldives booked for January of 2023. Apparently now I need to rethink my relationship with this hotel brand simply because hotel management at W Punta De Mita hotel does not seem to care if you are happy or not as a customer. It seems at this location, all they care about is their profit and their money. And they simply disappeared when I wanted them to look into assisting me. Listen, if you are you going to spend well over $1,200/night USD (for a basic room, including some meals, drinks and extra cash tips to the waiters and resort workers), it better be worth it. And in my opinion, the W Punta De Mita was not worth it at all. At least at the Grand Velas, you pay over $1,000 USD/night but you get very quality all-inclusive F/B, and I liked that there's no pretentiousness at Velas Resorts. Bottom line is the hotel ruined what was supposed to be a beautiful elaborate surprise birthday balloon arrangement for my wife. Several days before the checkin the hotel informed me that balloon arrangements wouldn't fit into the regular ocean view room they upgraded me to (I am Bonvoy Elite and had booked the jungle view originally). So we scrambled for alternative options. They suggested upgrading me to an Oasis suite and gave me a very good price for the upgrade, or so I thought. Well it turned out they weren't very clear and what they were quoting me was the upgrade per NIGHT in addition to what I was already going to pay for the basic room. So the upgrade charge was going to cost more than my entire 2 night stay combined. Unbelievable. And they had the audacity to quote me such an outrageous number. I reached out to management in an attempt to get some assistance and they were all hush hush and nowhere to be found. Not one employee offered any assistance. At any other reasonable hotel or resort, I would think they would not hesitate to upgrade me to a suite to accommodate the birthday balloon arrangements, or hey here's an idea, how about honoring the original upgrade price that you give to your guests in the first place?! So then I had no choice but to cancel the balloon arrangements, and the local vendor lost out on almost $500 USD worth of work for the arrangement. I guess the W also does not like supporting their local entrepreneurs. The entire experience left me somewhat dumbfounded. To be honest, prior to my arrival, I was also debating to cancel my entire stay @ the W Punta De Mita because of the petty back and forth I had with their Front Desk Staff - Okay yeah we'll give you the suite for this xx price, followed by oh sorry we quoted the wrong price, to we'll give you the suite for 5% off, followed by 10% off after I pushed for more discounts. This was highly unprofessional and left a bitter taste in my mouth. In the end I still came here with my wife and we spent over $2400 USD for a 2 night stay. But we will not be back and I think the W Hotels brand just lost a client for life. There are other brands such as Waldorf Astoria and Hilton Conrad that seem to treat their clients much better. I would know as I last stayed at a Waldorf Astoria resort back in June 2022. So much for the Whatever/Whenever mantra! What added insult to injury--I'm actually a local resident of Puerto Vallarta but they dont seem to give a hoot that I'm an expat local "supporting" a their business by selecting their hotel for our special celebration. Also beware and check your bill. The hotel adds an optional room service charge for the maid, which you can supposedly remove during checkout, but in my haste to exit the property, I did not notice the option to remove it, so definitely consider doing that. Hey this place wants to nickel and dime you as a guest, well we too can do the same. read more

For a 5 star resort, this property fell short of all our expectations. Rooms were small, we had maintenance issues which took three days to resolve. After 6, felt like a morgue. Outside lighting was not turned on, inside the hotel there was only music on Saturday night. Workers were pleasant and accommodating. Had to go out every night to other resorts to get the best of Mexico. Marriot Bonvoi reservation was a rip off. The price quoted was non refundable, other members of our group benefited by reserving through Expedia and enjoying rates 30% cheaper than what I got. One main pool on the premise, aside from a narrow "lap adult pool". Music started at 12:00 every day. No activities, basically a bore of a resort. Have been to many properties. This one by far is over rated. read more

If I could dream up a hotel with all the details like nespresso maker in the room, house dj pool side, perfect white sand beach; this would be it. For me, it was the perfect hotel in every way. read more

I would not recommend this hotel if you are taking a vacation. Overall, some good compensate for the bad. The food is really good and the service at the pool/beach is very good. The fish and the seafood are spectacular. However, the checkin experience and the rooms are bad. We make a lot of trips and vacations, so our expectations are high. When we book a certain bed (king) we are a couple, so we always expect a king bed. They didn't give us a king bed, they gave us two double (twin) beds instead. For a couple on a romantic vacation, not a good option... they lied to us and said they had 2 queen size beds which we agreed to and were expecting queen, but in reality they are 2 twin beds. Usually when a hotel makes a mistake, they make up for it by offering a complimentary dinner/breakfast/massage, whatever, but we didn't even get an apology. Now we put 2 beds together and trying to sleep. Moreover, the nespresso didn't work. We got the ocean view, we can't enjoy it because the people next to us are smokers, so we don't open the door because the smoke gets inside the room. Honestly, I recommend going elsewhere. If you can, choose another place. If you are planning to spend most of your time outside of the room (pool/beach), then the W can be a good choice. Just be prepared to be doing the checkin for literally 3 hours. We arrived at 5pm, which is past checkin time and we got the room at 8pm. We come to Mexico every month and a lot of times we take a beach vacation. We will not be returning to this hotel. read more

We can't wait to stay again! The hotel is beautiful, the staff are all friendly, and the service is impeccable. We arrived Friday afternoon for the long weekend and we were met by our driver near the taxi line at PVR (book the shuttle with the hotel- it's so worth it). We were offered water and beer for the trip to the hotel which is about 45 minutes, and that immediately set the mood for the trip. We asked to stop at the local la Comer to get snacks for the room (the stop was included in the price of the shuttle if it doesn't exceed 20 minutes) and that was easily accommodated. Upon arrival you are instantly blown away by how beautiful and modern the hotel grounds are; I felt like I was in a fancy movie. Golf carts take you to your room- we had a jungle view which feels miles away from everything (in a good way!). It was quiet, lush and private. I would book a room on a higher floor though as we had ground level. The rooms are decorated tastefully with bright tropical colors, and all the amenities are there. The beach area is well maintained and clean, and the pool area feels like a club in itself. The restaurants are very good, offering fresh seafood, land options, and are all fairly priced. The spa services are a must, and the gym is well equipped. We saw maybe three children the entire time we were away so it felt like an adults only resort which was a huge plus for a young couple like us. You cannot go wrong here. Already counting the days until we can get back for more tans, margaritas, and beach days. read more

This hotel is hip. We came here for some drinks and to see the grounds. What I liked about this hotel was that the beach has no rocks. You can actually enjoy the beach unlike other locations in Punta Mita where the beach is full of rocks. The drinks are good here. The pool area is fun. They have nice lounge chairs and swing chairs to enjoy. read more
