Courtney Cox spent the whole weekend in our destination only a few days after publicly announcing her separation from husband and agent David Arquette, she stayed at Los Ranchos, an exclusive and private community in Punta Mita. The Punta Mita area is well known for the many luxury hotels such as the Four Seasons Resort and Regis, as well as many private luxury villas, many available for rent or if you are lucky and have a friend who owns such a villa you can visit like the well known Kardashian sisters, Kim and Kourtney who were here a few months ago and stayed in a friends private beachfront villa.
