This was my second adventure to Sayulita. I traveled solo the first go, this time we traveled as a family. Casa Colibri was the perfect location. It was a quick minute to all the amenities that Sayulita has to offer. Close to town, close to the beach. We did not have intentions of renting a car, and have not regrets with that decisions. Golf carts are available to rent if necessary, and taxi rides are cheap. If you want to wander into other surrounding communities, the taxi service is located with a 5-10 minute walk. Joan and Dave are very accommodating, they helped set up a car service from the airport with a quick stop at the larger grocery store along the way. The Casa has all the features to feel comfortable and homey. The basics are provided with a few surprise extras like beach chairs, towels, and boogie boards. The home itself is aesthetically very Mexican Chic, with beautiful foliage surroundings. It feels very private and safe which was a concern when traveling with children.
Sayulita is a surfing type of village, so the beach is a must. You can go south to a more private beach, by that, I mean fewer people, or head to the main beach which has a lot more vendors selling their goodies, beach massages, and surf schools. Other attractions to consider are a deep sea fishing guided tour, a trip the Las Marietas Islands, and a quick taxi ride to San Pancho (more primitive culture). A favorite restaurant was Rustico off the main drag and the street tacos from the folks close to the main fruit/veggie stand. We were going to cook at home, but food is so delicious and affordable that it was worth going out.
Consider staying a bit later on the square for some live gypsy entertainment, worth every minute. We are hoping that we meet Joan and Dave again for another stay. Casa Colibri will be our go to, and we will recommend to any other friends and family considering a visit that way.
