“Excellent property and quite unique. We loved how sprawling the resort is and as a result, private. We stayed for a week in an Ocean Cliff Villa and a week in a 2 bedroom Ocean View Banderas. This is our 4th O&O property we've stayed at and it definitely is in the same class as the others. Because it is fairly new, they are still working out the kinks, but whenever there was an issue, they went above and beyond to correct it. I have no doubt within a year they'll be operating at the same level as other One&Onlys. They've got 4 different pool areas, one of the destinations being adults only. 2 of the pool areas have beaches. There are a host of unique activities to do on property to include riding polo horses, archery, jungle/rainforest ziplining, dining at the polo grounds with the horses milling about as you feed them apples, etc. Few recommendations: 1. Host/Butler: Ask for Eliezer Meza to be your host, he goes above and beyond, very pleasant, is always a step ahead/anticipates your requests. Carlos Galvan is also exceptional. 2. Utilize the onsite Babysitting services staffed from kidsclub: Xiochtl is an exceptional babysitter for both babies and toddlers, we completely trusted her. Roxanne was also very good with our toddler. They were flexible and accommodated our needs. 3. Our favorite pool was the infinity pool at Carao restaurant, it's adult only and the view is breathtaking. They don't really advertise it and as a result it's never too busy. 4. Start every evening with a drink at Treetop bar. It has an amazing view and the mixologists were always on point. Great place to stop before dinner. 5. You have two breakfast option places, but they serve the same food, always opt for Alma for the view. Papillo is indoors in the middle of the jungle, the benefit is it has AC. 6. Make sure you try Chukker for dinner (Argentinian Steak) on the polo grounds (open th to sun) and Allora on the beach for great Italian food. 7. The wading pool at Jetty Beach is very nice for toddlers. Get there early to get the cabanna (first come first serve) right beside it. Carlos, Cesar, Pedro and Juan will take good care of you during the day at the beach. They are very friendly and take pride in what they do.”

“Absolute stunning resort that offers both jungle and beach vibes. The One&Only Mandarina is a top tier resort, which also means it is quite expensive. However, every guest is going to have their own definition of what is a reasonable price.For some this resort is out of reach finically, where others wouldn't blink an eye at the cost. I don't think it is fair to knock off a star due to the cost. Beside, if this resort was a reasonable price, then everyone would be going. Part of the appeal is the exclusivity and luxury.I was aware of some of the kinks or problems other guest had. I witness a few moments where things weren't perfectly smooth. But for the most part my experience was amazing. I would rank the resort a 90/100; fantastic but not flawless.Property: Massive, lush and architectural stunning. The layout and size of facilities never makes you feel cramped or crowded with other guest. In my suite the shower door opened fully allowing me to basically shower outside.Spa: The treatment room for my massage was unreal and unique. The 90-minute massage was very calming and wonderful. There is a mud bath that is free for guest to use, along with sauna and steam rooms. Probably the most beautiful spa I have been to in my life and I have been to many. Suggest booking spa treatments in advance.Host: Every suite is assigned a host to help facilitate dinner reservations, answer questions, book activities, etc. Our host Alfredo always had our best interest in mind. He would check in with us, ensure we had dinner plans, etc.. We had some unique request and Alfredo went above and beyond to fulfill our request. (i.e., we requested to have the same incense from restaurant placed in our room...it smells sooooo good!...he quickly made it happen).Staff: Every single staff member was polite, warm, friendly and engaged in conversation with guest.Activities: I did a free yoga class and rented paddle board. Both were really fun. If there is any activity or spiritual treatment that you must do then I highly recommend reaching out and booking before you arrived. When on site I requested a quantum reading, but there was no one on property that week to perform that treatment. For me it wasn't a big deal since I was able to find other equally enjoyable activities. There is also a butterfly/insect pavilion that the resort barely promotes. It was amazing and there is a super friendly and knowledgeable tour guide there to walk you around.Food: Most of our meals we had were winners (i.e., everything at Carao), but there were a few fails (i.e., pizza). I highly suggest sticking to local Mexican dishes, fish dishes or healthy dishes; these types of dishes were typically very good. The cauliflower tacos (Jetty), octopus tacos (Carao pool), smoked fish and bagel (alma) were our stand outs. The menu is limited when it comes to more "classic American" restaurant standards; you won't find many steak, chicken fingers, burger options. I found the biggest misses were the more American traditional dishes; the pizza was not very good.Buggy: You will read lots of opinions about the buggy system. I under estimated the sheer size of the property. Based on the location of your suite you might be very dependent on ordering the buggys to get you around. It could easily take 5-7 minutes by golf cart to go from one side of property to other. There were a few instances when my buggy would arrive but someone else had been waiting longer for theirs. It can create a bit of an awkward situation. 90% of the time the buggys came within 5-7 minutes. We had one situation, where the buggy battery died on way to get us and they had to send another. But it was during the dinner rush. We ended up waiting 45 minutes to get buggy. But just remember you are on vacation, there is no rush to really get anyway.”
