— Careyes runs along Jalisco's Pacific coast, roughly midway between Puerto Vallarta and Manzanillo, and Punta La Virgen is one of the headlands along it. Casa Papelillo has the end of that headland to itself. The trade-off is worth stating plainly: this is elevated ground with the ocean below it, not a house you step out of onto sand.
Casa Papelillo, Four Suites and an Infinity Pool at the End of Punta La Virgen
Four ocean-view suites, an ensuite library and media room, and a heated infinity pool along the cliff edge at the western tip of Punta La Virgen. Twelve guests, five ensuite bathrooms, staff and a chef working the house for the whole booking. Pets are allowed - two, cats or dogs. Rates come from the owner on request.
Open, layered interiors
Little of the living space is enclosed. The communal rooms sit under a palapa, open at the sides, which keeps them shaded and moving with the breeze rather than sealed and cooled. Craft pieces and modern furniture share the rooms.
Suites are specified identically: climate control plus a ceiling fan, Bose audio, a Smart TV, wireless internet, a minibar, tea and coffee, a safe and yoga mats. Constellations, the fifth room, works as a library and screening room with a bathroom of its own.
Practicalities on site: laundry equipment, iron and board, and heating.
Designed for the day outside
The pool is the centrepiece - heated, edged to vanish into the Pacific behind it, laid along the cliff and pointed at the sunset.
The Sun suite keeps its own porch and its own hot tub, which means the best view in the house is available without walking out to the shared deck.
Terraces attach to all five rooms. Meals can be taken outside, there is a garden, and the palapa shades a seating area. The kitchen will also set up picnics on the beach, grill dinners at the house, or lay on a bonfire supper.
Sleeping for 12
Sun - Master Suite: king bed, private porch, hot tub, and a bathroom carrying a jetted tub and a separate shower.
Star - Master Suite: king bed, bathroom with a tub.
Moon - Suite: king bed, bathroom with a tub.
Eclipse - Junior Suite: two queen beds.
Constellations - Library and media room: two twin sofa beds, shower room.
Count the fixed beds and the number is ten. Twelve is reachable, but the last two sleep on sofa beds in the library - fine for children or a flexible group, less so for six couples.
