This little oasis is not quite a hotel and not quite a resort. It is a retreat nestled in the woods, at the water’s edge – only accessible by boat and is situated about 30 minutes drive from Puerto Vallarta. There are about 7 “houses” and a main area with a fabulous restaurant and bar. One can obtain a day pass to enjoy the food, views, private beach, and serenity.

Here I will first share the house or casita I stayed in for four nights. It is magical. Its name is Firefly.

The view from the bedroom. Right, no window, no screen, just the open air…

The shower…

An afternoon snack. This place has the best food I have ever experienced. Each dish is a masterpiece.
