Punta Mita’s 2026 Club Access Fee: What Changed for Renters
The owner membership that used to cover rental guests now stops at the owner - what the replacement fee costs, who it exempts, and what varies by residence
Trip Planning
The guides to read first for any destination we cover: what the place is and how it is laid out, when to visit, whether it is safe, what to pack, how money and tipping work, and what changes if you travel with children or as a couple.
They are written to be read before you decide, not after: each one sets out the trade-offs plainly, dates every changeable fact to the bulletin, advisory or season it comes from, and links onward to the guides for where to stay and how to get there.
