  1. Great tips, I especially like the farmers’ market idea. It’s always good to avoid the restaurants in the main piazza, and their hiked-up prices.

    • Thanks! Plus you get to interact with locals, practice some of their language, and eat fresh 🙂

  2. The wife and I are planning a trip this year (6 month backpacking trip). We were looking at going the hostel route. Are they that bad? I’ve seen some nice ones on Hostelworld. They look better than some hotels. Don’t get me wrong we’ll want some privacy throughout the trip but we also want to stay on budget.

      Hey Edgar – great question. No, hostels are GREAT. Howstelworld has some great options and we love the work they do. However, when traveling as a couple, we have found it both more enjoyable and more affordable to book an Airbnb. You’ll probably want a 2 bed private dorm in a hostel which means you’ll pay more and sleep in twin bunk beds. Conversely, if you book an Airbnb you can probably find an entire small apartment for the same price. Check both, and also check other booking sites, but know you have many options. Your trip sounds incredible so have a wonderful time!

Unforgettable memories from the ultimate girls’ weekend getaway—with 18 kids, sunshine, and pure luxury at @lascasitaspm 🌴✨

Las Casitas is managed by @vehm.mx, the premier property management company in Punta Mita. They oversee the most exclusive villas in the area, and every one of their properties is fully staffed and loaded with luxury amenities.

This gorgeous beachfront estate in the exclusive Kupuri community features three private casitas, 12 bedrooms, 13.5 bathrooms, a stunning infinity pool, hot tub, gym, and beach access. It’s designed for big groups, but feels intimate, relaxed, and totally elevated.

The real MVPs? The incredible full-time staff. We had a chef, sous chef, pastry chef, butler, concierge, and housekeeping—literally someone looking after our every need. Every meal was a gourmet experience, and every moment was effortless (which, with 18 kids, is saying a lot).

@vehm.mx helped us coordinate in-house massages for the mamas, and organized a piñata for the kids and a mariachi band to celebrate Oliver’s birthday THREE-esta!

Perfect for a 40th birthday, girlfriend getaway, or large family trip—we’re already planning our return. I can’t recommend it enough (or stop talking about it)!
