I have been here three times. It is an amazing place on Earth and has recently gone through a total upgrade. The palifitos are better, the restaurant is opened up, the spa is sublime. I will go here every year until i die!!! A must see.

This wonderful village of huts is located in Costalegre Jalisco, Mexico. I really felt like I was "somewhere else" when I was at this amazing resort. Someone has an excellent imagination to have created both the whole resort as well as each individual hut! There are 27 "stilt houses" that are scattered around a sandy series of lagoons. Each one...

The setting could not be more beautiful. We stayed at a Palafito on the ocean and it was lovely and as close to the surf as you could get without... More

My husband and I stayed here in November 2012. Mexico is our favorite place to vacation due to how quickly we can get there from Houston. We both prefer the smaller, boutique resorts to the larger ones, because we don't like people all up in our grills when we're trying to get away from people. Although my husband generally agrees...

Deep down, I wish I would keep this place unknown instead, as the name refers to it, as I wouldn't want to loose the exclusivity appeal that it offers. Need to let you know that I'm a world traveler and have stayed in many difference places around the world in my life and have a very kin sense of taste.... More

We had the good fortune to stay at Hotelito Descononcido between Christmas and New Year so not only experienced an amazing place but also a unique New Year's Eve of entertainment with a mariachi band and plenty of tequilla. This is a hotel that is easy to fall in love with. The location is pure magic with accommodation ("palafitto's") sitting... More
