Amazing luxury in Punta Mita for large groups!

I can't say enough about the beauty of Casa Del Faro, the unbelievable staff, the location and the amenities. With an incredible concierge who took care of our needs as we began planning, to the hospitality of the manager, the amazing staff and the absolutely beautiful house. It was tastefully decorated, perfect for a large group and so very comfortable. With lots of convening space and beautiful personal spaces, the scenery, location, staff and service can't be beat.

An absolute blast for 40th birthday

We had 6 couples total and could not have been happier from end to end. The staff was so thoughtful and welcoming and helpful at every turn, and the house itself is gorgeous and luxurious for every room. We also had help with organizing activities like a catamaran trip, a DJ/Karaoke party, and a tequila tasting on site. We loved every minute and hope to return!

Five Stars Is Just Not Enough

The property and it's location is amazing. However, its the staff that makes the stay here very special. We had 18 guests for a twelfth birthday party, the staff supplied balloons and a piñata and kept the drinks flowing. The chef prepared amazing meals all day long, we even offered to take him home with us.

Amazing Spring Break

Two family totaling 12 with kids ranging from 7-17. The house was meticulously maintained, the property was safe and a lot of fun with the golf carts, visited several of the beach clubs. The Staff was unbelievable! Incredible, and the food was unreal. We went out one night for dinner at the four seasons, and we all agree, the chef at the house was better. Overall one of the best trips we’ve ever taken.

First, the property is gorgeous and very well appointed and exceeded expectations from the dozes of pictures we viewed. The service and staff were impeccable - gracious, attentive, accommodating, warm and made our group of 20 feel welcomed from the first minute on the property and then spoiled us rotten for our entire stay. Thank you Oscar, Alexis, Arturo, Nicolas and the entire staff for taking such good care of our entire group!

Casa Del Faro is exceptional! We will be back!

We booked 5 nights with 14 friends in celebration of my husband's birthday. The villa is stunning, well maintained and elegant. The staff is out of this world. From our butler Oscar to the wonderful chef and poolside mixologists, every detail was attended to with the utmost care and highly attentive service. We never had an empty drink in hand and every meal was exquisite. They read our minds and anticipated our every need with a smile and eagerness to make us feel well cared for. We had planned a couple days at the beach clubs, however no one wanted to leave the villa and the wonderful team there. You will not find better service and a more welcoming staff elsewhere. Look no further! We can't wait to be back at Casa Del Faro!

Absolutely INCREDIBLE!!!

Our stay at Casa del Faro was absolutely magical! We’ve stayed all over the word at some of the finest resorts and we’ve yet to experience the service, food quality, and hospitality that this Villa offers. The Villa is right on the beach with the most amazing view. Every day the butlers would give us room service coffee service before breakfast which we loved. Arturo and the butlers was constantly polishing our sun glasses by the pool. The cocktail list was absolutely delicious. The food was Michelin quality. We all agreed that every meal were some of the best we’ve ever had. The attention to detail was noticed everywhere from the house keeping to the perfectly manicured gardens. We’ve never experienced this level of service anywhere in the world. If you can afford this Villa, I highly encourage you to book it now. It will be the most memorable and enjoyable trip you’ve ever had. See you next year!!

PERFECTION!

To say we had a wonderful time just seems insufficient. The house itself is spectacular. The location was amazing. We had several surfers in our group that spent hours literally steps out of the backyard at a great break. Hilda was amazing, very thorough and professional. We had booked a boat on our own and she requested the contact from us. She contacted the boat owner and made sure everything was perfect for us. She genuinely wanted us to have the best time! The final piece of the puzzle is the staff. The house was always spotless and housekeeping never felt intrusive. The food was always fresh and delicious. Which is no small task for such a large group. Oscar and Lulu stole the show with their warmth, generosity and ability to anticipate the needs of every single person in our group. I cannot stress enough how special this group of people made our vacation. Our last day was my birthday and I could cry thinking of all of the special touches each and every one of them did for me! It was truly PERFECTION, many, many thanks! Melissa

impeccable service and food

we went for a 50th birthday gathering with 18 adults all arriving at different times. from booking until departure, everything was handled to allow for maximal enjoyment. having been to punta mita before, we were familial with the area and all it has to offer including excellent food right outside the gate. with the size of our group, we only went out one night, and honestly it was not necessary. the food and service at casa del faro was better than going out to dinner with a group that size. every request was fully accommodated, and over the course of our week, the staff seemed to anticipate what we needed before we even knew that we were ready for another cocktail. for a truly special night we did the mexican fiesta with a massive professional mariachi band [really orchestra]! i cannot emphasize enough the elite level of service that we received. we traveled with adults, and the rooms were all accessible to a bathroom with one not attached to a shower requiring a brief sojourn through the common area to a full bathroom below. i hope that you enjoy your time at casa del faro as much as we did, and say hi to lulu, arturo, alexi [gordo], nicolas, oscar, ivan and all the staff for us!

Jaw-dropping

It was basically the perfect vacation. My family and friends were blown away at the villa, the food, and the incredible staff. I was worried at first about the number of staff that would be at the villa.. that maybe it wouldn’t feel as private. But, we honestly didn’t feel that way at all. They were there always serving but never in the way. I felt like we didn’t even see the housekeepers. The villa was modern, cool, and yet still very Mexican beach vibe.. so easy and comfortable. We were pulled in right away out to the pool and spotting whales in the ocean while swinging in the day beds. All other commenters say this, but the food was about as good as it gets.. thoughtful, creative, beautiful, and so so so very good. We had many foodies in the group and they were blown away. You can tell that the owner Greg and his crew have cared deeply about all aspects of this experience. Btw, the entertainment options are 100% worth it. We loved the fire dancers, Mariachi band, fireworks, guitarists, etc. Thanks again Casa Del Faro!

Luxury Property with 5-star Service!

We were deciding between the Four Seasons and Casa Del Faro for our vacation to Punta Mita and we are so pleased we chose Casa Del Faro. The home is even more stunning in-person and the service is just as good if not even better than Four Seasons. The two chefs, husband and wife team Eduardo and Vivian are incredible chefs and accommodating to the varying needs of little kids and adults. Every single meal -- breakfasts, lunches, snacks and dinners -- were delicious with beautiful presentation. I would go as far to say better than the Four Seasons (but I only did lunch there 1x). The staff is always ready to make you a custom cocktail (with ALL fresh ingredients) -- fresh watermelon margs, raspberry margs, passionfruit, etc. -- you name it, they will make it happen! They also whipped up chocolate milkshakes for the kids, brought out popsicles to the pool. And they make a killer Mexican coffee. :) The views from the home are amazing -- we saw whales from the pool and had a blast playing pool, swinging on the swings and playing corn hole. The kids were always having fun as were the adults. We will 100% be back! The staff was some of the nicest, most attentive I've ever experienced. I'd recommend staying here and doing popping by the Four Seasons or St. Regis for a drink or meal during your stay. You'll be so happy you chose Casa Del Faro!

The Finest Resort in the World. FIVE STARS!!!

We have traveled all over the World and it’s official…. Casa Del Faro gets our #1 Rank. In our stays at luxury Villas, Four Seasons, St Regis, Mandarin, One & Only, Auberge, etc, we’ve never experienced the service and amazing food that we did during our stay at Casa Del Faro. The food is Michelin quality. We loved our trip to the Fish Market with the Chef to pick out the Fresh Catch. And then to watch the Chef create sashimi, Ceviche , and cook some filets on the wood burning grill was truly a special treat. The cooking class we did with the Chef and the Tequila Mezcal Tasting were also highlights of our culinary adventure. But the service was something we didn’t expect. The Butlers were attentive, yet not bothersome. They started to learn our preferences and habits immediately and I don’t think I ever had an empty glass. The fresh handmade cocktails were world class. My daughter loved the fresh coconuts the butlers chopped down for her each day. The twice daily housekeeping and turn down service was perfection. I left a shirt on the floor and I found it laundered and hanging in my closet the very same day! The linens, towels, and bath amenities were luxurious with clean gorgeous rooms. I will never forget the views while laying on the floating swing beds overlooking the Ocean. It’s something you have to experience at least once. The most painful part of our stay was leaving this amazing Villa and staff. It was a stay nothing short of ultra luxury and perfection. We will be returning to our beloved Casa Del Faro every year and count the days till our next visit. Thanks for an amazing experience!

Our stay at Casa Del Faro was nothing short of spectacular.

Everything about our vacation at Casa Del Faro was simply amazing. The owner was great to deal with from start to finish. The house itself is unbelievable and immaculate- our group of 24 fit very comfortably. The pictures online don’t do it justice...it’s even better in person. And the view of the ocean is spectacular. I can’t say enough enough about the staff. Oscar the butler is awesome. So is Lou Lu. They both went above and beyond to make sure our stay was perfect. And Eduardo the chef, and his staff, prepared delicious meals for us each day. Our group hopes to be back sometime in the near future! David
