Punta Mita Surf Lodge

The house smelled like there might be a sewage leak or another plumbing problem, and there was initially no hot water; it took ages to heat up. I saw cockroaches and ants throughout the house, and the beds had bed bugs. The photos seemed enhanced and made the place look much better than it was, so I felt it was falsely advertised. The surrounding area also looked run down and unsafe to me, with stray dogs roaming and barking, unfinished buildings that looked unstable, and dirty roads covered in debris and garbage. I would not recommend spending money here. If you still book, please research it first.

BEWARE! I booked this hotel for my group on behalf of a client for two nights. They’re well traveled and adaptable, having stayed everywhere from luxury hotels to budget places. In my 28 years booking accommodations, I’ve never heard so many complaints from everyone in one group. They said the hotel smelled horrible and was dirty, with excessive insects and bed bugs. They also didn’t feel safe. Tents would have been better.

Our group had a terrible stay. There were cockroaches and cobwebs, no towels and no hot water, along with bed bugs whose bites were still visible weeks later. The area was bad too, and it didn’t feel like a pleasant tourist destination. The one good thing was that staff brought towels and turned on the hot water on our second day.

A filthy, poorly maintained place with cockroaches and bedbugs. We had to sanitize our clothes when we got home. There was a strange smell, and some basic items were missing from the rooms. One-star hotel, a dump.
