Which airport do I fly into?

How far is Punta Monterrey from the Puerto Vallarta airport?

• Approximately a 1 hour drive.

How do I get from the Puerto Vallarta airport to paradise in Punta Monterrey?

• Option 1: Uber

• • Expect to pay about 1000 pesos (roughly $54 USD) each way
  • The Uber app works well from the airport upon arrival *note you will need a data plan to use (recommend an eSim eg. Airalo)
  • All the same Uber options available eg. comfort, XL 
  • Be ready with the hotel address as Punta Monterrey may not come up in the prompt field, but simply input the address and search to find it no problem

• The Uber pickup area at the airport is across a pedestrian bridge where cars can stop and line up on the side of the road. Upon exit the arrivals area, turn left and walk down a long outdoor corridor, turn left again and over the bridge to find your car.

• When you arrive at the hotel, you can ask and arrange for a pickup from the driver and/or ask for their phone number to arrange/confirm pickup by using WhatsApp.
  • The hotel has no cell service, and wi-fi is not strong or reliable enough to order an Uber to the hotel. WhatsApp works very well and is what most people use in Mexico.

• Option 2: Private Driver

• • • Expect to pay about 2500 pesos CASH (roughly $135 USD CASH) each way, depending on how many people you fit in your vehicle
    • An SUV can be arranged for one way or return trip from the airport through Punta Monterrey puntamonterreyresort@gmail.com

• Option 3: Rental Car

• • • Rental companies run out of PVR eg. Enterprise, Avis
    • Expect to pay $200-300 for five-day rental *this does not include any incidentals or insurance

• Consider the dirt road and hill (when you turn off the highway (Las Lomas) the road will quickly become a dirt road, and in parts it is a steep hill down to the coast. It takes approximately 10 minutes from the highway to the retreat space entrance which can feel quite slow. It is a safe journey. Enjoy the jungle views!) entrance to Punta Monterrey, recommend for confident drivers

Can I choose my room?

• We will do our best to accommodate all room choice requests, but can’t guarantee we will be able to accommodate all requests.

Who do I contact if I have general questions about the retreat?

• info@thedaileymethod.com

Who is running the retreat?

How far is the beach from the retreat space?

• Punta Monterrey is on the beach! So it is a stone’s throw away from where you will be resting your head

What do I bring?

• Well, you will be on the beach for 5 days, so bring your favourite beach gear! You’ll also need gear to workout in. Sticky socks never hurt. We will have yoga mats available to take your classes on, but if you prefer your own, bring it along! Bathroom and beach towels and provided by the facility as well. It gets chilly at night and in the early mornings, so bring cozy layers.
