I searched everywhere for a place that could offer my partner and I a relaxing holiday with the possibility of yoga and massage - while at the same time truly welcoming and serving our small child. This is a tall order, it seems. Mar de Jade was a find. We don't care for big hotels, don't need exciting night life,... more

I just returned from a yoga retreat with Zack Dixon. Our group has traveled to Mar De Jade for three consecutive years. The rooms we stayed in were cleaned and mopped down every day. We often relaxed by the pool, which is clear and perfect for exercise. The food is simple, fresh, and outstanding. I noticed major improvements since my... more

I had a wonderful and relaxing stay at the Mar de Jade resort. All of the staff were kind and always first to help in any way. The food was superb. The meals were so frequent that it was hard to make it to them all. What really sets Mar de Jade apart though is the atmosphere. There is a... more

Beautiful setting! Next to ocean and forest. Beautiful gardens. Friendly locals. Rooms were in bad condition. Furniture was worn out and dirty. Plumbing was not working in room properly. Food was outstanding. Those Mexican locals were in the hot kitchen 16 hours a day, preparing three meals a day. They are not getting what they deserve. Only thing going on... more

My new husband and I had our wedding at Mar de Jade and it was a wonderful event! We recommend Mar de Jade for anyone looking to throw an easy, relaxing, fun, and intimate wedding. My husband and I did not have to worry about a thing all weekend. The staff took special care to ensure that the flowers, decorations,... more

It is not only the beautiful location (at the end of the white beach of Chacala Bay), it is not only the wonderful food (fusion of healthy, wholesome, Mexican), it is not only the interesting conversations during meals (amazing people from all walks of life), it is not only the inviting blue pool (and the secluded jacuzzi pool), that makes... more

My wife and I arrived at Mar de Jade on our 20th wedding anniversary after 14 hours travel from the east coast. There was no Marchi Band blaring, no plastic wrist tag to wear, no tour arranger to bug us about trips and specials, no time-share spectacles and shams, etc. In fact, as our collectivo bumped over the last few... more

We paid $275 per night per couple during the New Year 2007 week and had the following experience: The resort had a beautiful and unusual fire work on New Years Eve. But otherwise the stay was unpleasant. There were lots of biting insects around. Despite spraying the room with insecticide we woke up every morning with more insect bites than... more

Just back from five wonderful nights at Mar de Jade. Balm for the soul. From the moment we arrived, the owner, energetic and beautiful Laura de Valle made us very welcome. We couldn't believe our luck to find such an understated but stunning place , nestled between the tropical jungle and a long stretch of sandy (and rocky) beach. It... more
