Located in the Playa Rosa area and just beside the trendy beach club of the same name, these completely renovated bungalows have been called the world's smallest beach resort. The bungalows' interiors come in white with touches of pink and feature palapa roofs.
Formerly known as Hotel Costa Careyes, Casitas de las Flores is a series of renewed condos, part of the whole Careyes community face-lift. The casitas offer wide-open spaces with traditional Mexican decor and spectacular ocean views. They feature fully equipped kitchenettes and private balconies. Casitas de las Flores is located a few steps from the beach and inside a gated community.
A couple of friendly American expats run this charming cliff-top hideaway with gorgeous views of the ocean and Boca de Iguanas Beach below. The furniture is stylish, and homey touches like lamps and aquatic wall decorations make the snug apartments just right for holing up. The two apartments upstairs, with thatched roofs and kitchen and living room open to the elements, are not usually available in summer due to the rain; the rest of the year they're highly coveted.
Set on the spectacular end of a peninsula, this resort (hands-down the best hotel in the area) overlooks the Pacific Ocean to the west and the Navidad lagoon to the east. Rooms are big and luxurious, although the decor feels more mid-20th-century Europe than modern tropical Mexico.
This old-school resort was recently transformed back into a trendy destination among mostly Mexican tourists. The decor is a bit kitsch but in accordance with the festive style of the resort.
Perched on a beautiful headland, "Serene Point" enjoys balmy breezes and offers life-changing views from the infinity hot tub. It's an adults-only oasis of calm. Rooms have lovely furnishings and decor and shared or private terraces, some with fab beach views. The private beach far below is clothing optional. Spa treatments are inventive, and activities like horseback riding, tennis, and nonmotorized water sports are included in the price.
