"Set on a mile of white-sand beach, the resort slid under the radar when it first opened, mostly due to timing. One of the leading luxury brands of the Hilton Hotel Group, it first began welcoming guests back in September 2020. Now, it's slowly picking up buzz as frequent travelers to other Mexican beach regions—say Los Cabos or Oaxaca—are eager to find a new destination to explore. Located in Riviera Nayarit where the Pacific Ocean meets the Sierra Madre Mountains, Conrad Punta de Mita is set amidst towering palm trees in the Litibú gated community. When guests stay here, they have access to top-notch golf courses, clay tennis courts, and six miles of sprawling golden beach." - Jessica Sulima
"Ideal for relaxation and family travel, the beachfront resort sits along a quiet, wide white-sand beach and offers multiple infinity pools (including a lagoon-shaped ocean overlook), a secluded adults-only pool, and a zero-entry family pool with a water slide and splash pad; family perks include a complimentary kids club and a policy where all children under 12 eat free when accompanied by a paying adult. The property balances refined upscale touches with family-friendly amenities, features several boutiques, a spa, varied on-site dining, and polished rooms such as one-bedroom suites with walk-in showers, separate living rooms, and terraces with private plunge pools. Accessible pathways, ramps, elevators, and accessible-room options are available; the hotel participates in Hilton Honors, offers complimentary valet parking, permits one pet per reservation for a modest fee, and is moderately priced. The author notes a personal stay for a babymoon with a toddler and highlights the resort’s serene location about an hour from the nearest airport." - Emily Hochberg Emily Hochberg Emily Hochberg is a writer and editor with over 15 years of experience specializing in travel, lifestyle, home, parenting, and reviews.

"Set on Mexico’s Riviera Nayarit with direct beach access, this sprawling 55,000-square-foot resort blends luxury accommodations with local Indigenous culture. It has 324 rooms and suites—including beachfront units that exceed 1,400 square feet with patios and private plunge pools, two-bedroom residences with full kitchens, and ADA-compliant options—plus three pools (one adults-only infinity pool with a swim-up bar) and private butler-serviced cabanas. Décor leans on light woods, wicker, local artwork, and Byredo’s Mojave Ghost toiletries; guests can even enjoy a floating breakfast in a private plunge pool. Culinary offerings span seven venues: an elevated Mexican restaurant where a smoke energy-cleansing ritual precedes dishes like a standout tuna tartare molete; an open-fire beachfront grill serving zarandeado-style fish and smoked local oysters (with a beach barbecue featuring fresh catch from La Cruz de Huanacaxtle fishermen); a breakfast terrace where chilaquiles are a must-order; pool and swim-up bars; and an agave studio for guided tastings. The spa and wellness programming are rooted in Huichol-inspired rituals, with cocoon-like outdoor treatment spaces and a popular temazcal ceremony—a domed purification led by a local shaman that guests describe as deeply fulfilling but physically intense—alongside kupuri smoke-and-meditation sessions. On-site activities include biking, cooking and cocktail classes, sailing, fishing, horseback riding, zip-lining, a gym, and easy access to nearby attractions like Sayulita, San Pancho, the Marieta Islands, and an 18-hole golf course; families benefit from kids’ pools, a water slide, a Turi Kids Club, and kids-eat-free policies for under-12s. Practical perks include shuttle service from Puerto Vallarta airport, membership benefits through Hilton Honors and American Express Fine Hotels + Resorts, and nightly rates starting around $320." - Jalyn Robinson Jalyn Robinson Jalyn Robinson is the assistant travel editor at Dotdash Meredith, working for both Travel + Leisure and TripSavvy.
