El Careyes Beach Resort

Small meeting and incentive groups join an elite community known as Costa Careyes at El Careyes Beach Resort. Hidden on Mexico’s Costalegre—the unspoiled Pacific corridor between Puerto Vallarta and Manzanillo—the hotel and community of privately owned estates cater to jet-set tastes drawn by the international polo facility, lack of paparazzi, creative laid-back vibe, and seclusion in a tropical paradise.

Some of the resort’s 51 rooms, suites, and casitas furnish private plunge pools. The Master Suites also provide second bedrooms and baths, kitchenettes, and spacious living rooms with balconies or terraces. The three casitas add an extra measure of open space and privacy. Together the accommodations form a U shape behind the pool and beach, affording ocean views for all.

A seaside spa intensifies the focus on rest, relaxation, and sensual pleasure with treatments derived from Mexico, the Far East, and Europe. Equally global in scope, the gourmet restaurant, La Lantana, treats guests to sumptuous menus of international cuisine—with an emphasis on the culinary styles of Mexico’s coastal states.
Groups with banquets or business on the agenda meet in two rooms equipped with the latest audiovisuals or, less formally, around the free-form pool and on the beach. Offshore, they kayak, snorkel, fish, whale watch, and bird-watch on Pajarera Island. On land, they play tennis and explore the surrounding jungle and coast by horseback and mountain bike.
