<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nBrought to life by Italian banker Gianfrano Brignon in the 60’s when he was flying over the coast and decided to buy 20,000 acres of property on a whim to make it his own. He was quite literal blown away by how stunning the coastline was that he didn’t even step foot on it before purchasing it. He saw the potential almost immediately. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mr. Brignon started to build the land up slowly; wanting to create a getaway destination for just family and friends seeking privacy and of course some fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since then it has transformed into a destination where celebrities, soul seekers, artists and designers come to vacation and let me tell you it is something else. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is basically like living in a real life design and luxury travel magazine and awakens your senses in every way imaginable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am sharing the ultimate guide to visiting Careyes, Mexico so you can experience this slice of heaven for yourself<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How To Get To Careyes, Mexico?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n![\"Careyes](\"https:\/\/thedaydreamdiaries.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Careyes-Mexico-1024x575.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nHow to get to Careyes from Manzanillo<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Careyes Mexico is located 1.5 hours from the Manzanillo airport. Private transporation can be arranged through the place you are staying. We booked transporation through the El Careyes Club and Residences and we were picked up in a spacious SUV!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can also hire a local taxi which would run you about 1500 Pesos or $75 USD roughly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The great thing about flying in to Manzanillo is that the airport is very small as there is not a lot of flights that land there daily. With that being said, going through customs and getting our luggages was a breeze<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How to get to Careyes from Puerto Vallarta<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Flying into Puerto Vallarta means a longer drive at 2.5-3 hours. The good news is that there are many direct flights when you fly into Puerto Vallarta from most major cities. The drive from Puerto Vallarta to Careyes is also very scenic and beautiful! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Should I Rent a Car in Careyes?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
We did not have a rental car during our time there but next time I would secure one. For the 3 days we were there it was perfectly fine without one ( and made us stay put and take in the beauty right around us) but heading into town for dinner or to some near by activities would be more convenient with a car! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
When to Visit Careyes?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n![\"El](\"https:\/\/thedaydreamdiaries.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/IMG_0101-683x1024.jpg\")

<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nHIGH SEASON<\/strong>: High season in Careyes runs from November to March where weather is beautiful and there is little rain. Temperatures reach the 80’s during the day but you have cooler moments compared to the June- September months. High season also means it is much busier with it being the prime holiday season in North America ( Christmas, Thanksgiving, New Years and March Break)<\/p>\n\n\n\nLOW SEASON<\/strong>: August and September are considered the wettest months in the region and also the most humid. You can expect a greater chance of tropical storms to pass through the area but most of the time they do not last all day. Prices are lower during this time so if you are looking to budget a bit, this may be a good time to consider going. <\/p>\n\n\n\nLow Season starts in June and ends early October.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SHOULDER SEASON<\/strong>: We visited in October which is considered shoulder season. The crowds of high season were yet to be seen and the weather was still hot but very much manageable. We got some rain one of the nights there and some clouds one afternoon but other than that it was beautiful! <\/p>\n\n\n\nHow Many Days Do You Need In Careyes Mexico?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/thedaydreamdiaries.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/IMG_0145-1024x683.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nWe stayed in the area for 3 nights and felt that we could have stayed much longer. Like maybe for a year? haha. No but really. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I would recommend a week in the area to fully unwind, experience the magic of the surroundings and see everything on this list!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you are doing a whole trip through Mexico though, 3 nights would work! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nCareyes is not a place where you are going to find endless hotel options. That is not what Careyes is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
True to it’s exclusive and artistic vibe, you have the option of staying at the one hotel within the gated community, renting a smaller ( but very much beautiful) casita or a larger and over the top villa ( you know the kind that come with a chef or boat if you should need it). Though there are not endless hotel options, you still have several accommodation options to choose from- all of which are 5 star. <\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll of the villas have design elements that can easily be found within Architectural Digest ( no, really- many of them have been featured) and have their own personalities. Actually. When walking through some of the pathways, we saw signs for “Casa Azul” or “Casa Faro”- one was green, the other blue. One had integrated tile work along the door entrance while the other made me feel like I was transported to Morocco. This was just from the outside. I can’t even imagine how it would feel to step inside. I can’t wait to go back and experience one of the unique villas!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here are some places to stay in Careyes as a starting point..<\/p>\n\n\n\n
El Careyes Club and Residences <\/h2>\n\n\n\n![\"Careyes](\"https:\/\/thedaydreamdiaries.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/IMG_0120-1024x683.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nEl Careyes is the only hotel within the Careyes community and what a place it is! It is one of the more reasonable places to stay with rooms ranging from $300 – $1500 USD but don’t fret- it is still extremely high end. Like it has 5 insane infinity pools kind of high end. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We stayed in one of the two bedroom units which were made up of contemporary and mid century modern pieces, concrete floors perfect for the Mexican heat ( and sand), a full kitchen and gorgeous double sink bathrooms with jungle views. We also had a balcony that offered up pool and ocean views. You can read more about it HERE!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bungalows at Playa Rosa<\/h2>\n\n\n\n![\"Playa](\"https:\/\/thedaydreamdiaries.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Playa-Rosa-Bungalows-1024x576.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nA newer place to stay on the block, the bungalows on Playa Rosa beach are a perfect ( and very Instagrammable) place to hang your hat for a few days. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
These are pretty reasonable as well, starting at $350 USD and are DIRECTLY on the beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
