La Villa Buena Vida! WOW!!!! Highly recommended
We just spent an incredible week with 4 other couples over a very fun and festive week in Sayulita. Our accommodations were perfect. Cooling off mid-afternoon in the pool followed by a brief siesta was a perfect way to re-start the evening festivities in town which was a short 10 minute walk down the street. Very comfortable casitas with comfy beds and excellent air conditioning. We can’t wait to go back!!!! Melissa was a very responsive and accessible host!

Amazing family vacation
We thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful people of Sayulita. This wonderful place has left a lasting impression on our family. Our casita was lovely, fully stocked with everything we could need and close to everything. Spending time in the town square, enjoying the wonderful restaurants and shops was so fun. And we were able to do so many amazing activities, boating, ATVs and of course taking advantage of the amazing beaches! We are grateful to the host for our vacation and will definitely be back to enjoy the good life in Sayulita.

Awesome! Our 2nd time in Sayulita
Super cute little gem, only 6 units total so doesn't feel busy at all. Only a couple minutes to walk to the main square but just far enough to be away from the parties and noise. And no hill to walk up which is a huge plus for this very hilly town! Can't wait to come back, hosts, other guests and the cleaning staff were all great. Mucho Gracias!

Great little resort-like stay near town and the beaches!!
Our casita was extremely clean, well decorated with authentic artifacts and very comfortable. The courtyard and pool made us feel like we were at a mini resort. The pool was small and perfect for sharing with only 4 other units. The kitchen was well equipped with everything that we needed for cooking. My wife and I made fresh fish and all kinds of local Mexican dishes. There are several mini markets within walking distance where we found all of the ingredients that we needed for our dishes. We also tried the restaurants in town and they were very good as well as reasonably priced. (And this is from 2 people that love to cook.)The beautiful beaches are within walking distance. Actually, all of the action of this vibrant and picturesque town is a short walk from the casitas. Even though the entire town is very safe, the enclosed courtyard with it's locked gate, made us feel extra secure. La Villa Buena Vida is a rare find and an excellent value. I highly recommend and plan to return.

Beware of the safes in this complex
Beware of the safes in this complex! This is the first negative review I have ever given after over 29 years of extensive travel but I think it is important. I had excess American money when I arrived for reasons I won’t go into here. I put it into what I naively believed was a secure safe so I could retrieve it when it was time to leave. Half of it went missing. Management and owners changed the locks on our doors and brought in a safe auditor from the company that installed them to ultimately tell us that it was impossible to breach the safe and yet, unless American money now has the ability to dematerialize, that money did go missing from that safe. I have since learned through a simple Google search how easy it actually is to break into these kinds of safes. The money was never removed from that safe until suspicions were raised and of course it was too late. The loss was substantial enough to report it to management and the owner but in the end I had to defend my integrity as well as absorb the financial loss. It was a traumatic event I hope to never experience again nor want anyone else who is unaware of the problem to experience.

Response from Owner/Manager on 03/03/2023

I am very sorry to read that you felt you had to defend your integrity while we dealt with what happened over the last few days of your vacation. That was never our intention. It was a very difficult situation for all of the parties involved as has never happened to us before. As soon as we heard that you were missing some money we took all of the appropriate steps to investigate what could have happened, the most important being an audit of the safe with a professional. Through this we discovered that the safe had not been tampered with, nor opened in any other way aside from the code which you had inputted into the system. The final step in the investigation would have been to go to the police to report the robbery which you decided you did not want to do. We compensated you the amount of money you had originally said you were missing. A couple days after you had reported the missing money you a different amount was missing from what you had originally stated. Since this event we have changed all the locks on the house, we are installing a camera surveillance system and changing the safes. We did not and do not take this event lightly and are doing everything to ensure something like this doesn\'t happen again.

Amazing home & host
So happy with our stay. The location is absolutely perfect. A super short walk to the main square + beach, but away from all the noise. Melissa was SUPER helpful and friendly, the outdoor space was great after a long day of walking around. Overall it was perfect for our family of four. We also had some unexpected things come up which could have made for a huge headache and a lot of stress and the host Melissa quickly helped us out - no questions asked. Couldn't have asked for better hospitality and service. Thanks again!

This quaint little surf town won our hearts a little over a year ago. I enjoy exploring new beaches and conquering the waves with our shaky surf skills. We have one fur-baby, Charlie, who loves playing in the sand or just lounging around under a palm tree. I am a preschool teacher here at the local private school and my husband, Juan Luis, is an architect. We love to travel and meet new people. We are happy to help with anything you may need to make your stay as perfect as possible!
