                                Stayed here for 3 nights and we were very impressed. Great value for money. The apartments are beautiful and comfortable, the location is great and the courtyard and pool are awesome for hanging out after a day at the beach. Will be back for sure

                                Recommended for: Sightseeing, tourists without a car, girls getaway, romantic getaway, families with young children, adventure seekers.

                                Owner response: We (my staff and I) love to see people enjoying this beautiful place. I created that beautiful courtyard, so I can entertain friends when I visit from the US.

                                Recently a group of European and American friends and myself decided to check out Sayulita. There were 12 of us so finding a place that could accommodate was a challenge, and I was given that responsibility. The owner of Villa Buena Vida was very easy to work with and was a huge help in making me feel confident in the decision. Upon arrival and viewing the property everyone was very pleased with the property and their rooms. The garden, covered patio and pool area are extremely well cared for and the layout is perfect for a couple, small family or even a large group. The ability to have separate suites with their own living room, bathroom and refrigerator was a huge plus and made it easier than renting and sharing a house. The decoration and amenities are nice, simple and add to the beach town atmosphere. The cleanliness and maintenance of the property is exceptional and definitely added to the overall quality of the groups experience. Everyone was happy with the property and I know I will definitely return to Villa Buena Vida soon.

                                Recommended for: Families with teenagers, age 55+, tourists without a car, girls getaway, families with young children, adventure seekers.

                                We have stayed here 3 different occasions and will definitely come back. This place has many lovely features--nice pool, comfortable rooms, reliable internet, walking distance to beach and shops, perfect weather, lovely town. The photos on this site are a good representation of what you get. It's a very economical vacation since we cooked most meals in and did not need a rental car. The casitas were clean and well-maintained, and the owner was easy to work with. I hope to bring a group of friends down the next time we come.

                                We just spent the month of January at Buena Vida for the third year in a row, and love it there. The rooms are clean and well kept and the attendants are courteous and helpful. Our only complaint is the sporadic WIFI service. Next winter we hope to stay longer.

                              Owner info

                              Year Purchased: 2003

                              About the owner: Susan Campbell has been a relationship coach for over 40 years. A former professor at the University of Massachusetts, she is author of nine books on the topic of relationships and human communication. Her most recent work centers on how to use honest, presence-centered communication as vehicle for personal healing and expanded self-awareness. This body of work is described in her best-selling, Getting Real and her more recent books, Truth in Dating, and Saying What’s Real. Her work has been featured in many popular magazines including New Woman, Psychology Today, Self, Harvard Business Review, Seventeen, Men’s Health, New Age, Fast Company, and Yoga Journal.

                              Why the Owner Chose Sayulita:
                              I like being an 'innkeeper.' I have owned vacation rental property in the US since the mid 1970's. I love Mexico. And I wanted to have the experience of doing business in a foreign country.

                              The Unique Benefits at this Apartment:
                              Being in the pool with the views of the courtyard is so beautiful. It is a short walk to town--yet does not get the noise from town because it is not up the hill. You can check your email in the lovely courtyard in the shade. There are screens on all windows--so you don't get bugs. And this property has hardly any bugs anyway. It is essentially bug-free.
