Sayulita is dusty, dirty, and loud. Accordion music rises from the local Mexican bars late into most weekend nights. Everyone has a dog roaming the streets. There is a crowing rooster in every back yard. Many of the streets are dirt. If dust and dirt bother you, sound and smells offend, crusty pot smoking rasta surfers make you nervous, don't go to Sayulita. Stay on a resort in Cabo.
I love Sayulita; it is smudged jewel of Mexican and surf culture. We enjoyed the open air markets, the amazing food, Paraiso Yoga, and several of the local beaches/breaks.
Casa Marisol is a perfect launch pad for daily surf sessions, yoga, jungle hikes and beach runs. Location. Location. Location. Its not as loud and busy as town but its quite close to everything. The house is comfortable, well provisioned, and a short walk into town. This casa is huge for just two people. The big double doors lining both sides of the space combined with several ceiling fans are ample for keeping the house cool and comfortable. I love sleeping in the open air. The bed is comfortable. You can sip coffee on the back patio in the morning and coladas on the front courtyard in the evening. This space encourages use! We suggest you rent surfboards from WildMex and leave them at the shop. This allows a short walk to the beach with both arms free. Both arms free allows buying fresh guavas and smoothies on the walk in and stopping for al pastor on the way home. A WildMex rental includes the benefit of a locker/bathroom/changing area at the beach. There are other shops but I've used them several times and can't recommend them enough.
We had Kari plus two other local folks reach out during our stay to ensure all our needs were met. We needed nothing during our stay except for a water delivery which was seamless. We would absolutely stay here again. Thanks for a lovely visit! I look forward to many more trips to Sayulita!
