The little town of El Anclote where the El Anclote Condos and restaurants are located (and various other condo complexes) is not recommended for beach goers nor children, ok for surfers. The water is brown from the jetty construction, the beach front road was an open raw sewage pit, the sewage treatment plant sends the treatment down a open canal... more

We are staying in the condos El Anclote, Punta de Mita. Our condo is everything the write-up said it would be but they neglected to tell us about the construction that has been on-going since 2006 and is not finished yet. We arrived Dec 19, 2007, tired and looking forward to our condo and were greeted with the sounds of... more

Having previously spent time to the south of Puerto Vallarta, it was interesting to see the differences in beaches and seascapes up north. Near Playa Anclote and Punta de Mita, the sand is much whiter, and the water much bluer, compared to the southern parts of the Bay of Banderas. It's almost Caribbean-looking!

El Anclote Condominiums in Punta Mita....gorgeous views of the Bay of Banderas! A gated community with tennis court and wonderful pool & spa. Somewhat isolated (45 minutes to Puerto Vallarta); a rental car is nice to have (but expensive); luckily, taxis and buses are plentiful. Several excellent restaurants on the beach just a short walk away! We especially liked the... more
