My spouse and I decided to attend a well deserved retreat at Mar de Jade in January. After a pleasant one hour coach ride from Puerta Vallarta, we arrived to find an open-air facility on the beach at the edge of a jungle. The check-in was as professional as at many five star hotels. Our beautifully appointed room faced the... more

From the moment we arrived we began to relax....the staff was so welcoming and kind. Our first room was a bit small and there was no problem in changing to a larger room with a beautiful view of the ocean, beach and palm trees. The food was simple, delicious and plentiful. Always a salad bar at lunch with lots of... more

An Amazing Experience - Letter to Mar de Jade owner: Hola Laura! I wanted to tell you once again how wonderful your hotel is...and especially you and all your staff! The Nia gang had a flawless time.

We often relaxed by the pool, which is clear and perfect for exercise. The food is simple, fresh, and outstanding. I noticed major improvements since my... more

I had a wonderful and relaxing stay at the Mar de Jade resort. All of the staff were kind and always first to help in any way. The food was superb. The meals were so frequent that it was hard to make it to them all. What really sets Mar de Jade apart though is the atmosphere. There is a... more

Beautiful setting! Next to ocean and forest. Beautiful gardens. Friendly locals. Rooms were in bad condition. Furniture was worn out and dirty. Plumbing was not working in room properly. Food was outstanding. Those Mexican locals were in the hot kitchen 16 hours a day, preparing three meals a day. They are not getting what they deserve. Only thing going on... more
