Resort Description
Stylish resort setting a new standard of luxury on Mexico's Pacific coast – Secluded and family-friendly, this beachfront resort made up of tile-roofed Mexican-style casitas is on the northern tip of the Bahia de Banderas, a large natural bay on the Pacific Ocean. The deluxe property is on both the 2008 Conde Nast Traveler "Gold List" and Travel + Leisure "T+L 500."
Accommodations: The air-conditioned rooms and suites have an ocean or garden view, balcony or terrace, ceiling fans, television, a coffee/tea maker, a refrigerated private bar, a DVD player, a CD player, a clock radio, an in-room safe, a complimentary newspaper, thick terry bathrobes, a hairdryer, and twice daily housekeeping services. TIP: You can receive complimentary amenities for your children if you let the resort know that they'll be coming. Some suites include a personal host and a daily poolside cabana. The Coral Suite has a full kitchen, a fitness room, a media room, and a personal spa area. The villas have cathedral ceilings, an open-concept gourmet kitchen, a washer and dryer, an infinity-edge pool, a whirlpool, and an outdoor grill. NOTE: The resort's accommodations and facilities are spread out, so rely on staffers with golf carts to get around more easily.
Dining & Entertainment: Start the day with breakfast at the poolside Ketsi. It serves seafood, regional specialties, and pizza from a wood-burning oven for lunch and dinner. Enjoy its nightly musical entertainment and weekly theme parties. The Tail of the Whale, at the golf clubhouse, offers an a la carte breakfast, easy dishes for lunch, and refreshing cocktails during the day. Nestled among giant manzanilla trees on the beach, Bahia features a mesquite-burning open grill and a martini menu. Experience Chino Latino cuisine, a melting pot of Latin American and Asian flavors and culinary styles, at Aramara. Its bar has daily live music, Cuban and Mexican cigars, and an extensive selection of tequilas. Satisfy your thirst at the Lobby Lounge, Tamai Pool Bar, and Nanu Pool Bar. In-room dining services are available 24 hours.
Recreation: Jump into the free-form infinity pool, and spend quiet time in the adult-oriented pool complex, with 2 main pools, 2 plunge pools, and music playing above and below the water. The kids splash around in their own pool. Relax in an inner tube as you float down the Lazy River. Beach fun includes scuba diving, kayaking, and windsurfing. The Jack Nicklaus-designed golf course has a hole on a natural island in the ocean. Play tennis, and engage a personal trainer at the fitness center. Your kids make new friends in the games room. The spa's treatments are designed to relax, invigorate, detoxify, and heal. Check out the Punta Mita Cultural Center, and charter the resort's 55-foot yacht.
