Twenty-six “Pacific Ocean” themed floats colorfully and creatively celebrated Carnaval 2019 on Friday, March 1st, parading their way through The St. Regis Punta Mita Resort and Four Seasons Resort Punta Mita lobbies and the streets of our community. Always one of the liveliest, family-friendly events of the season, this year was no different, including a great after-party held on the driving range, pumped up by Resident DJ Omar.
