The restaurant DeMita in Punta de Mita is nestled underneath tall lit palm trees 5 feet away from the waves. Boasting world class service and the best Lobster I had in all my years visiting Mexico, enjoy the golden sunset with the sand under your toes and the sweet ocean breeze. Make reservations ahead of time to ensure your dining experience!

Consejos para la ciudad
Facilidad para moverse por la casa
Uber is your best friend while in Mexico!
If no Ubers are available, make sure the taxis have license plates that start with NUMBERS and NOT letters! This designates them as taxis by Mexican Law.
Make sure to always carry extra Pesos (10-20MXN) as tips for your drivers!
Costumbres y cultura
Not everyone speaks English!
Make sure to prepare with some basic greetings and phrases, locals are much kinder to foreigners who give it their best shot at the local language! You might even get a discount (;
Costumbres y cultura
Drink bottled water only!
The water in Mexico is not filtered and can cause severe sickness. Make sure to avoid ice in any and all drinks, and stock up on filtered bottled water for your stay!
Formas de ahorrar
Cash is the best way to pay!
Make sure to always carry around 500MXN per person with you at all times in small bills. Most places do not offer change, and if you pay with credit cards you risk getting information stolen or a higher price due to the taxes!
Qué debes empacar
Beware Montezumas Revenge!
All foreigners will experience some level of 'adjustment sickness' despite their best efforts. Think of it as your immune system leveling up! In order to make sure your stay Is as enjoyable as possible, I recommend packing anti-nausea medicine and picking up some Buscapina at the local pharmacy. Drink PLENTY of water, make sure you squeeze in a siesta or two, and start slow with the food! Straight tequila is your best friend(; You'll feel like a local in no time!
