CASITAS MARAIKA HOTEL & BEACH CLUB, Puerto Vallarta

Such a hidden gem. This place is more than a stay. It's an experience. Things to note are that you have to take a small boat to reach the property so pack light. The nature and beach are beautiful. The rooms are comfortable, clean and the perfect blend of shelter and being one with nature. The restaurant on site is superb with quality organic ingredients that create art on a plate. Staff is friendly, approachable and super helpful. Can't wait to come back.

This was a beautiful property with the most beautiful views. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Perfect place to disconnect, relax and enjoy nature. Limited menu options but Great tasting food options. :) I would say this is more for couples/visitors who are very comfortable with one another without modern hotel creature comforts. The outdoor restroom and shower was greatly on theme for this nature focused stay - it includes a large sea shell as a shower head.

Power poll through the room Cheated out on mosquito nets for bed Not enough breakfast for all patrons Beautiful setting Gorgeous beach Incredible lunch and dinner menu

If you are looking for a beautiful, romantic and unique place to stay and connect with nature we highly recommend Maraika. We enjoyed waking up to birds and the sound of the ocean. The staff are welcoming and put a lot of love and care into the property and the food/drinks at the restaurant which is worth the price for well sourced, gourmet, memorable meals in an incredible setting. Be aware you must take a boat taxi from Boca de Tomatlan and may have to walk 10 minutes from Las Animas pier if the waves are too big for beach landing. The staff were very helpful with coordinating transportation, massages, and a sunset tour. What’sapp is the easiest method of communication.
