This was our first time in Mexico and we were looking for a lounging, beach experience. What we weren’t looking for was something I’ve seen depicted, or that I’ve heard about: the overstuffed “Sandals” type resort with all-inclusive cheap alcohol and boring food. We didn’t want it to feel like a time share we were visiting, or we were getting a cliche American experience in Mexico.
What Mvngata does well, it excels at. It is a small, boutique oasis with only 20 total rooms. A very sought after restaurant and environment, many people from other resorts will back the bottom floor with a day pass so they can get away from the bustle of their own resort. But as someone staying at the hotel, you get premium access to everything they have to offer. We were picked up at the airport with ease in a private SUV (35 minute drive that we enjoyed round trip). Our room was enormous with an ocean view, crisp and cool with the A/C along with a stocked mini bar and hammock on the balcony. Breakfast and lunch were absolutely delicious and the food was Mexican cuisine, but with high end flair. Beach access is wonderful, though to swim in the ocean you have to walk five minutes north or south to more sandy areas (a non issue). But having said that, I would recommend the rooftop - my wife and I lounged by the pool for the extent of our visit as it looks out on the water. Adan was very helpful at the restaurant, and Roberto helped schedule a private beach dinner for me and my wife!
