Mexico Resorts reviews

Wow. We were basically day tripping from Sayulita and saw the signs for this place and were headed there for a meal (Mascota? not so much to recommend it). That was some drive out there on a cobblestone road. Did it in a two wheel drive economy (but don't tell Thrifty -was a bit tetchy at times).
So we roll up to this place and we find a fully manicured lake with horse cart path around the whole thing. The entire scene was incredible. Individual cabanos overlooking the lake, private balconies, a four poster jacuzzi in my room? I was pretty sure I was going to spot a unicorn coming out of the woods. That place was filled with honeymooners, I think we may have been the only English speakers there. Good sign.
So I live in HI, and this resort would have been like $700 night, was just over $200, pretty stunning in and of itself and surprise, that was the actual price they charged! Not plus this take and plus this fee, etc. The food was fantastic in the restaurants, limited menu so we got to try most of it.
Free bikes, kayaks, paddleboard, fishing poles (we caught 13 small base, fun), nature walk guides. There was a game room with pool table, TV bar, poker table.
On the other side of the lake an open air chapel that you could have a wedding with 300 guests at. Stunning. Another building that could host a reception. Read another review here that complained about a two night stay and wedding for $600? Clearly, they didn't go, but frankly, their dumb. What an outstanding value that would have been. If you are looking for one of a kind destination wedding this place would be fantastic. Took us about 3 hours to get there from Sayulita, tourist pace. Pretty cool drive out too.
Definitely off the beaten path for Americans. I kinda like ti that way, you probably shouldn't go. :)

This resort on a high mountain lake is naturally beautiful and the way it has been developed and maintained only adds to its attractiveness. There are water sports, horse back riding, hiking, fishing, swimming, and pampering. . . but the best part is the quiet serenity of the entire area. Getting there on the one-lane cobblestone "road" is not for the faint of heart. Our only disappointment was the caliber of the restaurant food...the atmosphere was wonderful but the food was expensive and not up to the rest of the resort. Almost no English is spoken by the staff.

I live in Puerto Vallarta and this is the exact location a beach worshiper needs to getaway from it all. The cabins are stunning, the lake is gorgeous and all the activities are so much fun and add to the ambiance of being in the mountains. The staff are incredible, the food delicious and the views are breathtaking. I thank Cupocity.com for helping me find this treasure in the mountains of Mascota.

We had an opportunity to get away from Puerto Vallarta for a quiet, tranquil weekend. Enjoyed the drive up from PV. Fascinated by the changing scenery and the ever-expanding views of Mascota's valley setting as we made our way up the winding road over the rim of the crater.

Although neither of us are native speakers, we had fun puzzling over the choices on the menu (went all-inclusive). Although food choices were limited and 'simple country fare' it was very, very good. And the service was excellent.

Our little cabin overlooking the lake was small and cozy. We thrilled at watching the night star show, and soaked in the absolute quiet and clean air, listening only to the sounds of nature at night.

What could have been a forty minute walk around the paved path along the lake turned into a four-hour plus adventure seeing and photographing many plants, birds and flowers. Each day on our walk we saw something new to appreciate.

The many different types of flora and fauna living in the micro-environments of the volcanic crater setting of this resort give rise to fascination and wonder.

We really enjoyed our stay, and hope to return again, perhaps in the spring of the year, next time.

Our experience went on both ways:
1.- Getting there, we drove form Guadalajara to Mascota safe road with nice views took us around 3 hours, once in Mascota follow the signs there is a 20 minutes of a road with tire footprints passing along small communities and some farms, then will take you 25 minutes driving uphill on a one way road, following the signals, we did not feel insecure at any time; but in some moment my wife ask me where are we going??
Note: the road is not convenient for sport cars is more for SUVs or so, even with a sedan you can go through but driving slowly and carefully.

2.- once we get to the gate everything changes ,very polite security guard receive us, ask us for your last name and invite us to enter to the property, once there you continue driving until get to the reception building, meantime we saw some of the cabins, the lake and some of the recreational areas, at reception they had everything ready and prepared, all the cabins have name of trees or flower plants, in our case we were installed at the Fresno (ash tree ) cabin, quite comfortable king size bed, shower and bath tub inside the room, as well chimney with TV there, I shall mention there is no phone signal there, the room has WiFi but with limited broadband, at the main places as restaurants the broadband is a lot better.
The place is all inclusive not fancy but good enough breakfast from 8:00 to 11:00 am, Lunch from 14:30 to 17:00 pm, and dinner from 20:00 to 23:00 pm; meantime bar opens at the tempered water swimming pull from 12:00 to 17:00 at the Terrace (Main Restaurant ) from 14:00 to 23:00 pm, and at the game cabin (place with poll table, bar, and different games to play) from 17:00 to 23:00 pm.
All the cabins have lake view and the hills surrounding it, later we learn it was a volcanic crater but now if gorgeous, and very relax place to be, there are bikes, horses to ride through the road which goes around the lake good for runners (3 kilometres length ) you can take the boats, Kayaks or paddle board, they ask you to wear a life saver vest, due the low temperatures on the lake they do not recommend you to swim there.

Meals well served with local town taste, but well presented, the waitress are very eager and willing to attend your needs, the spa well equipped and not so expensive 80 minutes hot rocks massage cost around 65 usd.
And down to 40 USD depending on your preferences, they have a couple of external hot tub Jacuzzi which are great.

Finally we stay there three days/two nights and enjoy the place our company and all the services offered, certainly without a hesitation I will be back but looking to stay at least three nights the next time.

Great place to spend some quite time. Beautiful nature, good food , horse back ridding, lake. Cabañas are nicely equiped. Bathtub is great. Little bit hard to get there but worth it. Will definitely come back.
