Hotel Meson de Mita

Punta de Mita in general has changed SO much since the last time I was there (probably over a decade ago). Very wealthy tourists with condos and I paid more than US prices everywhere I went. With the amount of money it's sad that more funds have not been put towards water/waste facilities. Still can't drink the water there and garbage all over still. It is also LOUD and busy with too many vendors. That being said the hotel was decent. I booked on accident and they would not cancel even though Hotels.com contacted them for two days almost immediately so I only stayed 4 out of my 7 days. Staff are nice and a I had good massage. Hotel is clean. Breakfast is OK. Close to small beach. Nice families. The "sewer ditch" is actually just a creek it just smells and it full of trash due to the area not investing in protecting the environment but that isn't this hotels fault. Didn't smell when I was there. You have to put deposit down for remotes and beach towels. Restaurant next door is epic but expensive like everything else there now. Avoiding Punta de Mita in the future but this hotel was OK. There is construction, parties, barking dogs so I never slept well but again not hotels fault.

Sadly I have to say this was our worst experience in Mexico. The pictures of the Hotel make it look like a wonderful, quiet place to enjoy. It was not at all. There is construction everywhere in Mexico. We have stayed next to hotels under construction in Mexico a few times and it wasn’t bad. However the construction going on next door to this hotel is so loud and aggressive you can not enjoy the pool at all and from the pictures of the hotel it looked relaxing that’s why we booked it. When you enter the room it smelled of sewer. We thought maybe it would go away but the smell didn’t, it only got worse. The TV had a static noise the whole time when it was on. I went to the reception and asked to cancel the next night and that was not possible. It was so unbearable, we took the loss and left the next morning. I also sent an email to the person in charge of the refund and still no response after 6 days of sending an email. The restaurants next door are all overpriced. Another guest told us her whole family got food poisoning from the taco stand on the beach and when we tried to get a taxi out of there they wanted to charge us 5 times what it should have. We will NEVER be going back to this side of Punta Mita!
