Secrets Bahia Mita: A Blissful Escape in Riviera Nayarit

Nestled between the lush Sierra Madre Mountains and the sparkling Pacific Ocean, Secrets Bahia Mita offers a harmonious blend of relaxation, fun, and connection. A direct flight from Los Angeles to Puerto Vallarta made getting here a breeze, setting the stage for an extraordinary escape into Unlimited Luxury.

A Grand Arrival and Sky-High Cabanas

From the moment we arrived, the team at Secrets Bahia Mita made us feel welcome. Our Sky Bar cabana days were a highlight, offering plush loungers, soft gray towels, white umbrellas, and thoughtful touches like eucalyptus-infused cold towels and refreshing pineapple skewers. Regina, our concierge, added a surprising touch of care by cleaning our glasses—an unexpected but delightful detail. The service was impeccable, with Angelo, Efrain, Julio, Martinez, Asael, and Regina ensuring that every moment was flawless. Drinks arrived promptly, surprises like Oreo ice cream sandwiches appeared throughout the day, and a birthday cake with singing staff turned Heather’s celebration into a moment to remember. Add the sight of whales breaching and dolphins dancing in the ocean, and the Sky Bar became our personal slice of paradise.

The Giant Suite: A Luxurious Retreat

Our stay in the massive 1,000-square-foot Aspire Suite was an experience in itself. This luxurious space featured a large living room with a cozy L-shaped sofa bed, a dining table, a wine fridge, and two expansive balconies. The plunge pool was perfect for cooling off, while the freestanding tub offered serene moments of relaxation. The king-sized bed, premium amenities, and breathtaking views made it a haven of comfort and style.

Dining Delights

Every meal at Secrets Bahia Mita was a culinary masterpiece. Breakfast at Market Café felt more like a feast than a buffet, with fresh Montreal bagels, savory crepas, custom-made eggs, and chilaquiles stealing the show. The mimosas upon entry and the staff’s attentiveness to allergies elevated the experience even further. Lunches and dinners were equally memorable. At the Sky Bar, we enjoyed a mix of casual bites and gourmet dishes, while the Bluewater Grill served perfect steaks under the stars. Kudos to Martin at Olios and the chefs for their exceptional cuisine and attention to detail.

Hula Hoops, Laughter, and Connection

I brought my hula hoop along, and it became a source of joy and connection. Everyone joined in—Heather, Angelo, Regina, and Efrain showed off their skills as we hooped by the pool, on our balcony, and even at sunset. The hoop brought laughter, smiles, and a reminder to embrace fun and spontaneity.

Thoughtful Touches

Secrets Bahia Mita excelled in anticipating every need. From the luxurious cabanas to the attentive staff, every detail was curated for comfort. We were pampered with ice-cold eucalyptus towels, veggie sticks, and refreshing drinks throughout the day. And nature added its own magic, with stunning views of whales and dolphins set to a backdrop of vibrant skies and great music.

Final Reflections

Whether it’s the attentive service from Angelo, Regina, and the rest of the team, the luxurious Aspire Suite, or the joy of hula hooping at sunset, this resort offers a unique blend of relaxation, celebration, and connection.

Heather’s birthday celebrations continued at the Sky Bar, watching the sun dip below the horizon, the sky turn fiery red, and surfers carve the waves below.

Secrets Bahia Mita: A Breakfast Like No Other

After years on cruise ships and well over a decade as a travel journalist, I’ve seen countless breakfast spreads—but the Market Café at Secrets Bahia Mita Riviera Nayarit takes the crown. This isn’t just breakfast; it’s an epicurean adventure. It all begins with mimosas handed to you as you walk in—a bubbly start to a morning in paradise. From there, the options are endless: made-to-order eggs, savory chilaquiles, sweet and savory crepes, fresh Montreal bagels, and even caviar. The array of cheeses, meats, and tropical fruits is dazzling, complemented by Mexican breakfast favorites and eggs sourced right from the property. The attention to detail is extraordinary. Stations are promptly refilled, and the staff is incredibly attentive—ensuring everyone, including those with dietary restrictions, has a fantastic experience. Breakfast at Secrets Bahia Mita isn’t just a meal; it’s an unforgettable start to the day.

A Day of Bliss at Secrets Bahia Mita

WOW, what a celebration-filled day! Heather and I began with an incredible private cabana experience at the Sky Bar. Our setup was perfect: a relaxation chair, a table with two chairs, and the cabana itself—a sanctuary for enjoying the day. The Sky Bar menu delivered deliciousness, and while we almost returned to Olio (special thanks to Martin and the chef for an unforgettable meal there earlier), we couldn’t resist trying something new. Drinks flowed all day, we saw whales and the surprises kept coming: Oreo ice cream cookie sandwiches, and later, a birthday cake and singing for Heather by the pool. The incredible Sky Bar team—Regina, Julio, Angelo, Martinez, Efrain, and Asael—made us feel like royalty, with thoughtful touches like Regina cleaning our sunglasses. And the evening? Oh, it got even better! We enjoyed dinner at the Bluewater Grill, indulging in perfectly cooked steaks crafted by Chef Gabrielle. Our service team—Francisco, Fran, Alexis, and Manager Joan—made the experience exceptional. As if that wasn’t enough, we were treated to a stunning show of fireworks from a wedding happening on the property, visible right from our table! From poolside relaxation to culinary delights and unexpected celebrations, this day was unforgettable. Secrets Bahia Mita, thank you for delivering Unlimited Luxury at its finest! Special thanks to Cece and Frida for all their help and the property tour and Jose from Beach Club who didn’t give us directions but actually walked us back to the elevator and got us going to the right place.

Hooping, Whales, and Unforgettable Bliss at the Sky Bar

Yes, I brought my hula hoop to the Sky Bar at Secrets Bahia Mita, and it became the centerpiece of pure joy! Everyone joined in—Heather, Angelo, Regina, and Efrain showed off their hooping skills like pros. We hooped all day: in the afternoon sun, by the pool, and as the sunset painted the sky. The laughter and smiles were contagious, a perfect reminder to embrace fun and spread happiness wherever you go. Our second cabana day was just as extraordinary. From reading and relaxing to delicious food and drinks, it was a day filled with laughter, joy, and nature’s wonders—whales breaching in the ocean and even dolphins playing in the waves. The attention to detail was unmatched. The thoughtful team brought us ice-cold eucalyptus towels, pineapple and veggie sticks, and set up soft gray towels under pristine white umbrellas, ensuring we had everything we didn’t even know we needed. As the day turned to evening, we enjoyed dinner at Mezze, dining outdoors under the stars with a front-row seat to another spectacular celebration—a fireworks display from a party on the property. From playful afternoons to elegant evenings, Secrets Bahia Mita delivered unforgettable memories. Whether hula hooping at sunset, savoring every bite of exceptional food, or marveling at the natural beauty of Riviera Nayarit, this was a perfect mix of relaxation, excitement, and unlimited luxury.
