My 8 yo son and I made a last-minute trip to Careyes in December when our original Napa trip got cancelled during the CA lockdown. Plan B turned out to be so much better than Plan A in this case.
We had been to Careyes in 2018, when we stayed in Cuixmala. I fell in love with this slice of paradise where you barely run into any people. And, during covid, it was the perfect place to escape to.
I had heard of Las Almandas during our 2018 visit since it is owned by another Goldsmith. I've also seen it on social media and wanted to try staying here as it looked so beautiful. The hotel is exactly how you see it in photos.
Everyone at the resort was so accommodating and friendly, especially to my son. They were very flexible with plans snd took the time to get to know us and cater to us. The 1st night we were there, we were literally the only guests on the property so we got the full attention of all staff!!
There was a little issue we encountered towards the end of our stay but the staff was extremely quick to resolve it and to make it right. I've stayed at many other high-end resorts that charge way more but don't have the same level of customer service the staff here has. While the resort itself and the rooms aren't fancy or as upgraded as other places, the whole experience is a true luxury that I prefer (barely any guests to run into, customized/tailored activities and service, private excursions, etc).
Not many people know about this area of Mexico and I hope it stays that way. Would definitely come back to Las Alamandas soon! read more
