My wife and I just got back from a 5-night stay at the Mar de Jade and would like to share our experiences and give more details than the other reviews. In short, it is truly a special place. Located about 90 minutes from the airport (they personally called to check on our transportation plans), the Mar de Jade is... more

My Mar de Jade experience was profound. From the time I arrived until my departure I was enthralled with the lush tropical scenery, the beach, the facilities and most of all the outstanding service! The rooms were huge and well worth the $200. rate, but with meals included, it was the deal of a lifetime. Feasts of abundant healthy foods—... more

Just returned from a wonderful 10 day stay at Mar de Jade...we went with a group of medical students and doctors, but would also be great just for vacation with family or for couples.

Some other guests during our stay actually left in disgust, and rightly so. It seems... more

Mar de Jade ("Sea of Jade") is a real gem on the west coast of Mexico, about 90 minutes north of Puerto Vallarta. What a wonderful time we had there. This retreat shares the small bay with the village of Chacala. There are no high rise hotels, no parasailing, and no vendors to interrupt your quiet on the beach. This... more
