Personal Narrative

Our journey to Punta Mita began with a wedding invitation, leading us to experience a slice of paradise. We stayed at the Iberostar, where luxury and natural beauty converged. The weather was perfect, with sunny skies and a mild breeze. Punta Mita offered an idyllic escape, and each day felt like a dream come true.

A highlight of our stay was visiting the local town. After a friend’s successful fishing trip, a local restaurant prepared a fresh ceviche from the catch. This spontaneous meal became one of our favorite memories—simple yet unforgettable.

We also ventured to Sayulita, a colorful “Pueblo Mágico.” Its vibrant streets, artisan shops, and bustling beach scene gave us a taste of local culture. The blend of surf-town vibe and traditional Mexican charm made Sayulita a memorable day trip.

Reflecting on our time in Punta Mita, we realized the magic of this place lies in its blend of luxury and authenticity. For anyone considering a visit, we recommend enjoying both the resort amenities and the nearby local gems like Sayulita. Punta Mita offers an experience that lingers long after your return.
