We loved our stay at this Faro de Mita condo!! The grounds were beautiful and relaxing. It’s not a party scene, rather there were a few families and a number of retired couples who come here regularly. Very sweet people. Over the weekend there’s a different vibe and it does get busier but the weekdays were super relaxing. The grounds are kept up very well. It’s a short walk to the beach out front but this is not a beach we wanted to hang out at. We enjoyed Destiladeros beach which is a ~15 min car ride south. It’s open, big and mellow for water play. My husband did take our kids surfing to the beach out front, so it’s good for long boarding. We SO appreciated having use of two long boards and a boogie board at the condo! My husband took a boat a little north to surf bigger waves of the tip, closer to the St. Regis property. We loved being a close driving distance to many places, like sayulita and la Cruz for the farmers market on Sunday. We also loved being able to walk to shops for supplies and walk to restaurants. The property manager, Ana, was so helpful and had awesome restaurant and activity tips. Thank you Ana! She was quick to respond when we let her know one of the AC units was leaking lots of water and unusable. It was fixed in a day and a half.
I will warn those looking to stay that there were 3 downsides to staying here that could be easily fixed and hopefully they’ll do so. We’d love to return one day if so! The water temp in both showers is not controllable. As in most of the time it’s either scalding hot OR freezing cold. The friendly handyman, Moises just told us the water heaters are small here but we were pretty confident that wasn’t the problem since it would go from cold to burning hot at times. Ana mentioned she would have a plumber come when we kept up our feedback, so hopefully this will be taken care of! Another thing to be prepared for is doing dishes frequently because there was only 5 dinner sized plates I think. There is also no baking sheet or any dish that was oven safe so you can’t cook in the oven. Lastly the bunk room has a fan, as do all the rooms, which is great for when you don’t want AC, but the fan is above the top bunk so it’s extremely dangerous. We had to leave the fan/light off if there were any people in the room so as to avoid our kids being seriously injured by the fan should they climb to the top bunk. These are just things to be aware of. We would stay here again. Thank you for your hospitality Ana!
