OMG what a surprise, it is AMAZING gourmet Mexican fresh made food with quality ingredients and the restaurant has the most amazing service. The price OMG is amazing we spend less than $40 Dollars in a meal that will be her in USA over $100. This place has the best of everything and I definitely will go back to stay for more days if we are in the area of Tepic Nayarit. High Five to the managers of this Hotel and all the Staff Members. Thank you guys for making our stay in your hotel the best.

The outside pool area was okay, not the cleanest pool but perfect for the kids. Their bar opens up at 3pm and stays open until midnight, they stayed open later since there was a big group of us. They are open to the public but there still was not a lot of people. There were local middle or high school kids cooling off in the pool, they were no trouble for us! They have loud music which i could hear when i was napping, but whatever! The rooms were decent, at least mines was but a few of the others had a broken a/c or other little things. They had no issues with swapping their room. This is walking distance to the mercado/the little town. My king room was no more than $30-35 a night. they also accept cards and our US dollars. I loved our bartender, he was the sweetest! We will continue to use this hotel for our future visits. Thank you Hotel Candelaria !

Most Mexicans know her for her role as advisor and judge on several cooking shows, but the locals in the San Blas area know her for the fantastic food her restaurant serves night after night. Our family and friends have had the privilege eating here for the last 14 years, and I can honestly say that it's one of the best restaurants we have encountered world wide. Mexican fusion at it's best, at a third of the price in my home town of Seattle. The wine list is small, but offers some well priced gems from Valle de Guadalupe, a very good region in the mountains of the northern Baja. Julio, our excellent waiter for the past 14 years, also makes the best margarita you will find. Start with that and finish with his excellent espresso. You can't go wrong! It's the only opportunity you will have in the Riviera Nayarit to feast on the offerings of a Cordon Blu trained chef. Don't miss it! *price range is compared to similar restaurants in Mexican resorts and worldwide.*

The service is great, I don't know if they speak English, but they speak money as most places do. It's pretty cheap here too! We got $70 a night with a 2br. And a perfect view of the beach. The hotel has 2 swimming pools one right next to the restaurant. The restaurant has amazing food! Anything you order is guaranteed to hit your seafood needs. After speaking with one of the cooks, we leaned that allot the fish and shrimp comes directly from local fisherman (literally right across the street). She says the food doesn't last a day in the fridge before it ends up in front of you ready for enjoyment. Overall, I recommend this place as it is very cheap and is quite a hidden gem.

A few steps from the hotel casual local restaurants offer shrimp, fish and lobster that was just caught. Each room has a little kitchenette and we enjoyed having breakfast and enjoying an afternoon drink each day on the patio overlooking the ocean. Jim, the owner, is an attentive host. He helped us with bus/taxi arrangements and suggestions for day trips as we desired. The decoration of the rooms and grounds is kitschy, artistic and fun. Note - if you are looking for a pool with a swim up bar kind of place, this is not for you.

Best time to come is during sunset so our reservation was around 6 pm. Although packed, we had excellent service and food. Margaritas are strong and highly recommend them!

One of our team members actually stayed here a few years ago and really enjoyed her experience there. Great place to stay and eat and highly recommend!

Each member of staff is delightful and helpful and ready to assist in any way possible, from booking transportation from the airport to arranging a nanny (We loved Marina, thank you!). We had booked a two-bed room with ocean view but upon check in found out we had been upgraded to a 2-bedroom suite! WOW! Our room was massive. Upon entry to the room, we entered the secondary sleeping area, with 2 twin beds and a large closet and shelf system. just beyond that was the shower, sink, and toilet area. This area is fully stocked with a variety of soaps and shampoo and conditioner, everything you need is here. Heading through the next door, you enter the main sleeping area with a king bed, a sofa, dressers, a wardrobe and a desk. Every detail has been thought of, from a water dispenser and glasses to a vase of fresh cut flowers. Beyond the sitting area is your private patio, looking out and over Mar de Jade out to the bay. The resort itself is large enough that you don't feel on top of the other guests but not so large that you can't find your way around. The pool area is lovely, we definitely spent some time at the bar drinking the amazing cocktails being created (they also have a great selection of Mexican and imported wine and beer), and the dining room is the perfect place to dine or relax. I was a little worried about the buffet-style food, never-really enjoying them before BUT the food being served at Mar de Jade is top notch. There was a salad or fruit station for each meal and then a different prepared meal each day. There was almost always a vegan or vegetarian option, and they were several GF options as well. We loved Every. Single. Meal. The staff was super accommodating, and often made our daughter molletes, or plain scrambled eggs for breakfast if the days options were too much for her. I will note, that we were there as Hurricane Roslyn was passing by and that combined with the prior storm had washed most of the beachfront away replacing it with rocks, so we were unable to enjoy the private beach but did find time to watch the sunset from the hammock palapa. We walked into Chacala to enjoy the beach and definitely recommend visiting town at least once, even if the beach is back at Mar de Jade. Make time for a spa service too, we had the most amazing massages. Next time we'll check out more of their offerings but the 90 minute massages were perfect for 2 busy parents. All in all, we loved our time at Mar de Jade and can't wait to return!

The family-owned retreat is still run by founder Dr. Laura del Valle and her daughter Angelica, who've made a tradition of providing guests with a personalized, custom-coordinated vacation experience. While the food service, accommodations and other amenities are all top-notch, what's really interesting is how party-oriented folks can intermingle alongside the new-age types -- with mutual respect. There's just something about Mar de Jade that exudes love.
