Fast growing luxury hotel group Rosewood has just opened its newest resort in North America, and it\u2019s in the same development as another very well regarded luxury property.<\/p>\n
Basics of the new Rosewood Mandarina, Mexico<\/h2>\nThe Rosewood Mandarina<\/a> has opened as of May 8, 2025. This property is located near Puerto Vallarta (PVR), in the Riviera Nayarit region, on the west coast of Mexico. Specifically, the resort makes up part of the Mandarina complex, where you\u2019ll also find the One&Only Mandarina<\/a>, regarded as one of Mexico\u2019s best resorts.<\/p>\nThe 140-key property features rooms, suites, and villas, with panoramic views across the mountains, beach, and ocean. As far as dining goes, the hotel has three restaurants and bars, including La Cocina Mandarina (the Mexican restaurant serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner), Buena Onda (the coastal restaurant serving lunch and dinner), Barra Pe\u00f1asco\u00a0(the sunset bar serving specialty cocktails), and Toppu (the Japanese restaurant serving dinner<\/p>\n
When it comes to amenities, the resort boasts three pools, a fitness center, and a full-service spa with 10 treatment rooms. While there are limited pictures of the property as of now, the design is described as drawing inspiration from the local, pre-historic Huichole and Cora cultures, combining modern luxury and comfort with the riches of its setting.\u00a0<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/cdn.onemileatatime.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Rosewood-Mandarina-3.jpg\")

Beach and coastline at the Rosewood Mandarina<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nIn the Puerto Vallarta region, many people may be familiar with Punta Mita, where you\u2019ll find both a Four Seasons<\/a> and St. Regis<\/a>. Mandarina is similarly a \u201cluxury compound.\u201d The major difference is that the Mandarina area has more of a \u201cjungle\u201d vibe, in addition to the ocean and beach. So unlike at Punta Mita, most of the accommodations are built into a hill.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/cdn.onemileatatime.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/One-Only-Mandarina.jpg\")
There\u2019s also a One&Only in the Mandarina complex<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThis is Rosewood\u2019s fourth property in Mexico, complementing the Rosewood Mayakoba<\/a>, Rosewood San Miguel de Allende<\/a>,\u00a0and Las Ventanas al Paraiso<\/a>. Furthermore, the Rosewood Mexico City is expected to open in 2026.<\/p>\nI find it interesting how the developers of Mandarina chose to brand the property\u2019s two resorts as Rosewood and One&Only. Often developers try to branch out a bit to cast a wider net in terms of the consumer base they go after, while I\u2019d consider Rosewood and One&Only to be pretty close competitors (and neither has a lucrative loyalty program, which is another differentiator between many hotel groups). I\u2019d say One&Only has perhaps a bit more of a reputation for quality and being bespoke, but both are very well regarded.<\/p>\n

Rosewood Mandarina rates & how to book<\/h2>\nWhat are rates like at the Rosewood Mandarina? Luxury hotel pricing has of course increased considerably in recent years, particularly in Mexico.<\/p>\n
Thanks to an opening offer<\/a>, rates at the Rosewood Mandarina seem to start at a little over $900 per night, which is supposedly a 30% discount over the standard cost. Part of the challenge with hotel rates in Mexico is the high taxes and fees \u2014 all rates are before the 15% service charge and 21% in taxes, so you\u2019ll pay an extra 36% above the published rates.<\/p>\nFortunately accommodations at the Rosewood Mandarina are very generously sized. The entry level flatland studio suite king has 827 square feet of interior space and 498 square feet of exterior space, with an infinity plunge pool and outdoor dining patio.<\/p>\n
When it comes to looking up rates, I appreciate that Rosewood\u2019s website has a rate calendar, allowing you to easily compare rates for months at a time.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/cdn.onemileatatime.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Rosewood-Mandarina-Rates-1.jpg\")
Rosewood Mandarina pricing calendar<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nYou\u2019re best off booking Rosewood properties through a\u00a0Rosewood Elite travel advisor<\/a>, as that\u2019s typically going to be the best deal. This won\u2019t cost you anything extra, and a Rosewood Elite agent will be able to add extra perks for your stay. What value can a Rosewood Elite travel advisor add?<\/p>\n
