Susurros del Corazón Auberge Resorts

Susurros del Corazón Auberge Resorts

Susurros del Corazón sits five kilometers outside Punta Mita's town center, on a stretch of the Bay of Banderas that starts a kilometer from the property line and belongs, for the length of a stay, entirely to guests who book one of the 112 rooms here. Three outdoor pools step down toward that private beach, and between them the routine amenities of a nice hotel start with the beach bar, the poolside bar, and two more bars and lounges scattered so no view goes without a drink nearby. Windsurfing and volleyball are set up on the sand, tennis courts and a fitness room sit inland, and a full-service spa runs massages, body treatments, and facials for the same guest who spent the morning doing nothing more strenuous than reading. This is not the golf-first side of Punta Mita: come here to be near water, not fairways, though several courses (Punta Mita, Pacifico, Litibu, Higuera) are a short drive for anyone who wants a change of activity. Rooms keep the traded-off luxuries in place: minibars, LCD televisions, private furnished balconies or patios, and bathrooms built around deep soaking tubs and rainfall showerheads. Breakfast is cooked to order between 7 and 11, at a fee, and Casamilpa is one of two restaurants on site, backed by 24-hour room service and a coffee shop for anyone who wants less ceremony. Families travel with babysitting on call and a separate children's pool; dogs come along for a flat $150 per stay. Rarer than a spa or private beach is windsurfing gear kept ready on the sand, more at home at a surf camp than a resort. Book it for the water, not the golf. Susurros del Corazón puts 112 rooms on a private stretch of the Bay of Banderas, five kilometers outside Punta Mita's center, with three pools, a full-service spa, and windsurfing gear on the sand rather than golf clubs at the door. Come for the water, not the fairways.
