Absolutely perfect spot for a large group who also want some personal space
We booked this place for my husbands 50th birthday party. We had 2 different groups of 16 people. We changed our groups 1/2 way through our 10 day stay, and the communication and all the details that they organized went very smoothly. We hired a chef WHO WAS AWESIME AND ALSO HAF A PRIVATE YOGA INSTRUCTOR WHO WAS GREAT AS WELL, Honestly, everything went better then we could’ve hoped.

Incredible Property - Wonderful Trip
My family and friends traveled from near and far to be with me to celebrate a milestone birthday. We stayed at Villa Pelicano's and we didn't have a single regret about our choice. The property is magnificent with views of the ocean from every single place you could stand. Mariana/Xavier/Theo and everyone else we encountered was amazing. Would definitely stay here again. Beautiful and relaxing. Exactly what my multigenerational group needed. Thank you, Villa Pelicanos!

Wow! What a place!! Location is perfect and place exceeded all expectations. Perfect for kids and adults……and even 1 senior citizen. Beaches were great and easily accessible but nothing beats sitting high on the hill at the pool overlooking everything!! Would highly recommend this property plus any/all extras (meals, yoga, etc.).

We enjoyed our stay very much! Theo was great to communicate with and provided assistance in booking tours. The staff at the villa were wonderful, we hardly knew they were there. Mariana and Nancy prepared delicious meals for us! The property itself is wonderful and immaculate! The pool was perfect for all our kids. Each family having there own villa was great. We could be together but privacy at the same time! We highly recommend this property!

A Slice of Heaven
This is our second time staying at Villa Pellicanos, and each time is better than the last. The pool, the villas, the finishing details, are all gorgeous. You won't regret staying here for one moment. One negative (and there really aren't any others) is that they really do mean ONLY 18 guests. Period. We had friends staying down the street, and they were very particular about when and how the guests visited. Annoying, as it should be our place for the week, and should feel comfortable, not stressed on vacation. Other than that, I can't recommend this place enough.

A beautiful view
An amazing property with beautiful views. Rooms are clustered in a way to give some privacy and space from the larger group. The staff was amazing to work with. Mariana and Jessica were wonderful to work with around planning our meals for 16 people including many kids. We had a great stay. There were enough stairs to keep you in shape while eating the wonderful food. You could hear the sounds of the bigger town especially at night but at a distance. I would highly recommend this property for family retreats or other gatherings.

Spectacular Stay!
I have stayed all over the world and our stay at Villa Pelicanos was one of the absolute best. It is the little things that make a difference, the rooms were wonderful, such comfortable beds, the outdoor showers were amazing, the pool and the gathering spaces were awesome. The whole lay out is perfect for families and our group of 15 and 2 babies had plenty of space to be together and our own personal space to go to when we needed to. Theo was magic, he helped me with all of the planning and everything he recommended was perfect, he is a gem and so great to work with. Mariana and Nancy cooked breakfast and dinner for us every day and it was fabulous, I highly recommend that luxury! The villa is really close to Sayulita, and we loved going into the town every day to shop and hang out, the location is perfect. The views are stunning, I am not sure there is another place with such a perfect view, it was such a magical place to be, I wish we could have stayed longer, and I hope to come back, it is that special.

Little piece of your own paradise!
We absolutely loved our stay at this property. It was such a great way to spend quality time with our extended family. It has a great combination of space that can be used as a whole group and individually. The fact that there are individual houses makes it great for those opportunities where you need to wind down or have different bedtimes. The staff on the property was absolutely marvelous and so personable. I highly recommend leveraging the staff for cooking needs to balance the opportunity of eating in and eating out in town. Cannot say enough about how special this week was for us at this property.

Back to Paradise (Again)!
So grateful to have experienced Villa Pelicanos once again. This property is such a serene escape from it all, tucked away where the jungle meets the ocean. A week filled with rest, yoga, ocean breezes and the surreal beauty of the Villa. High design, elevated service from property manager Teo, magnificent meals from Marianna and her team, the hospitality of Javier, and the awe inspiring beauty of the grounds that Jose and Jose present with their land caretaking. We felt so grateful to have experienced the magic once again of Sayulita in this very special place. Until next time.....
