There are no roads to the eight ocean-view casitas of Majahuitas, a beachside Mexican getaway just outside Puerto Vallarta. The 20-minute ride in the small boat sent for you, along a rugged and beautiful stretch of coastline with countless coves and rocky headlands, is a treat in itself. Landing on the white sands of a small bay with crystalline waters, a peaceful stranded-on-a-beach feeling will envelope you. From here on, everything is provided by your hosts and nature.
The rusticity of the open-air casitas, some perched on the hill, others right where the waves break, doesn´t mean comfort or service are spared. At Majahuitas it is barefoot-with-linen, and if you consider plugging in your laptop or making a phone call a necessity, this is not the place for you. There are no phones on the property and guest rooms do not have electrical outlets. Torches, candles and lanterns light the way when the sun goes down.
Whether it´s a romantic tryst or a family vacation, there´s something for everyone at Majahuitas. Your fancy may take you to the nearby underwater canyon, encountering sea turtles or manta rays on the way, gazing at dolphins and theatrical humpback whales on the horizon, or up the stream into the jungle where countless birds and incredible flora dazzle you. You may just choose to crawl into a hammock with a book and enjoy the attention of the amiable staff with your favorite tropical concoction.
Because the sun is the source of energy in this ecologically oriented resort, dinner is by candlelight. A highly varied menu features fresh-caught seafood as a predictable specialty. Breakfast and lunches are served at individual tables in a casual style. Dinners are most often served family style at the grand table under an immense chandelier. By special arrangement an intimate beach-front dinner for two can always be arranged.
