Property was very well-maintained and easily became a home away from home. Staff were incredible and made us feel welcome and comfortable. We were 10 friends and there was more than enough room for us to comfortably stay.
Our vacation in Punta Mita was wonderful! We had the most incredible experience renting this house. The house was even more impressive than the VRBO listing. The spacious layout - plenty of room for my family of 15 and a fantastic pool perfect for small children as well as for adults. The real gem of our stay was Francisco, house manager /exceptional concierge, who along with his staff went above and beyond to make our trip seamless and unforgettable. Breakfast and lunch every day was amazing, delicious and so enjoyable. We had not decided when we booked our vacation to have our dinner meals provided for us but after the first night we were blown away at how delicious it was as well as beautifully plated. We ended up booking for the rest of the week! Israel, our talented chef made exquisite meals and we were in awe at how excellent the food was. Enjoying great meals with our grown children as well as our grandchildren around a large square dining table with a fantastic lazy susan filled with delicious food was such a blessing- lots of laughter and story telling - wonderful family time making happy memories. The added bonus of beach clubs access, the golf carts, the golf courses and the view of the water and mountains completed our perfect vacation. I can not recommend this property enough- a dream getaway! We will definitely return!
We had a wonderful time in Punta Mita. The house is fantastic and just like the listing. We had 12 people, and a mix of adults, teens and kids, and there was always a place for everyone to enjoy themselves and enough space for privacy if needed. The house pool is incredible. The beaches were easy to get to with the golf carts, and we also took a fishing trip that departed from the nearby town (10 min away).
I canât say enough about the staff at the house. Francisco was friendly, responsive and very helpful from our arrival to the departure. Israel is an incredible chef, who was very accommodating, making sure even picky young eaters had something they liked. He was so good we decided to have every dinner in the house. In fact, I think the only meal we had at a restaurant was the lunch when we arrived.
Overall it was a wonderful vacation for our large family and we hope to do it again.
The property was amazing. All of Punta Mita was so impressive. The house and staff were outstanding! Our family had the best time! We canât wait to go back!
We couldn't have been happier for our family of 17. It paralled a 5 star resort experience with everyone together but still private. The chef we had was amazing Francisco did an outstanding job taking care of everyone's desires and needs. We will return!
My wife and 7 of her friends went to Casa Joya for several nights and they can't stop talking about how much fun they had. The house, the surrounding property/resorts, and the staff were all amazing!
Best vacation ever. From start to finish our stay was perfect. Francisco told us not to worry about anything when we spoke to him in advance about our trip, and boy did he deliver on that.
He and his staff of 4 anticipated all of our needs and every single minor stress out of our vacation. The spacious home is beautiful - situated on the golf course with views of the ocean. It was impeccably clean, luxurious with plenty of room for our group of 13 (3 couples and 7 kids) to spread out and enjoy. The 12 person dining table offered some of the enjoyable moments of our entire trip - all comfortably gathered together.
All food and beverages were taken care of from the moment we arrived including Margaritas in fridge when we arrived, and delicious breakfasts every day ready when everybody surfaced for the day. There was never any pressure to sit down and being eating until everyone was ready.
The private chef Israel prepared some gourmet dinners for us (extra) including Surf & Turf, fresh Mahi Mahi (Dorado), Shrimp and Chicken Enchiladas, and Pasta and Pizza for the kids the one night we went to town for Dinner. They were better than most fancy dinners here in the US.
The two golf carts and SUV were perfect for getting around the safe and gorgeous community of Punta Mita - accessing the beach clubs, pickle ball, going into town, checking out the iguanas and mexican lemurs, etc.
Francisco is a master at his craft. Not only is he genuine, cool and fun, but he arranged every extra perf including really easy airport transport, surf lessons at a great spot for beginners, a fishing trip where we all caught a fish including a 35 lb Dorado. Other than cash tips, the property covered our costs and we settled up at the end which made is so much easier.
I would highly recommend this home to anybody looking for a zero-stress, luxury vacation where the staff is looking out for you every need.
One recommendation is to bring a bunch of $10 and $20s with you. The beach clubs include a 12% gratuity for drinks and food (both excellent), but the staff at the beach clubs deserve extra cash tips for their impeccable service.
Thanks to Francisco, Israel, Raina, Russ and the others for beings so cool and delivering on a trip of a lifetime!
We could not have loved the place any more. That house is amazing, the entire area is stunning, and the staff is the best. Francisco was fantastic and the food prepared by Israel, and the entire crew was absolutely incredible. Thanks again for a tremendous family vacation.
The house has an awesome pool to be enjoyed by all ages. Its back entertainment area is very nice. The location within Punta Mita is great. You get a very nice view to golf fairways and ocean. The staff is extraordinary and plus they have one main point of contact (manager onsite daily) to help with anything you need. Highly recommended for family trip or friends. We will definetly stay again.
The house couldnât have been more perfect for our large group. Plenty of space for all and Francisco and the entire staff go out of their way to be sure your every need is met!! We loved every minute of our stay!!!
This is one of the few properties we could locate in Punta Mita with a perfect 5 star rating. We now know why so many guests gave this house a 5-star rating. Our trip was fabulous and we highly recommend this property. Everything from the meals that the staff prepared at the house down to the shower gel in the shower was perfect. Nothing was overlooked or missed. The staff, the house and the owner (who has great communication skills) made our visit a great one.
Perfect for our family get together. Francisco and his crew were first class and personable throughout our stay and always accommodating with any request we had.
What you see (photos) is what you get: Beautiful, clean, & everything from the linens/beds to the golf carts and SUV are top quality and new. Francisco & staff were excellent and extremely attentive. FWIW - we had a large group across 4 families and our 1st night eating out became our only. Eat in, go out for drinks. Food/service/convenience/value of eating dinner in for a large group couldn't be beat. Communication/responsiveness from team was great.
The property was immaculate with a beautiful views of the surf break. We had very high expectations going in and this exceeded any that we had. from the initial communication with the owner, to the interactions with Francisco the house manager, to the beautiful meals prepared by the chef Isreal everything about it was 5 Star.
This vacation home is truly a dream in every way! From the attention to detail to the incredibly wonderful staff to the location itself, it just doesnât get any better than Casa De La Joya!
Absolutely loved this property! The owner was very responsive and helpful with regard to all our requests! The house manager, Francisco, made everything so easy and was delightful to work with! The chef, Israel, was honestly the best we have ever had. So much so that we elected to eat in every night instead of go out! Would highly recommend this home!
We went to Punta Mita to celebrate some family milestones. From the moment we arrived at Joya Del Mar, our family felt totally relaxed and cared for. Francisco's favorite saying, 'consider it done'! He took care of us very well. Reina, Israel and Nuni also were excellent. We loved the layout of the house so that each of us had our own space, and the common area was a great gathering spot. The outside amenities were wonderful. The food very, very good. Hint: get fish dinners. The fish is so incredibly fresh. Everyone in our group of 11 wants to return to Casa Joya del Mar!
The house is fantastic for a large group. Everyone has plenty of space. We were celebrating the Parents 50 anniversary and they walked away saying a trip of a life time. The main reason is the staff they are incredibly and catered to each person to make them feel like a King or Queen. Russ was always willing to help out in the planning stages of the trip. Francisco is truly an ambassador of epic ability. Israel, Reina, Nuni and Karina took care of all our needs and at the end it felt as if they were part of our family. We can not wait to go back!!!!!!! Thank you
