Sayulita's Best Location – 1.5 Blocks to Beach/Town with Private Pool & Gardens

Hi there, are you thinking about going to Sayulita? You must book a reservation at Villa Colina!|I was just there and here are few thoughts about my trip. Having not traveled very much in Mexico I had a few questions, concerns, and curiosities before going. My top ones were: Is it safe? (mainstream media has scared me) Will I get sick from the food or water? And will I see a donkey with colored stripes turned into a fake zebra, like the one I saw in TJ from the ‘80s?|My trip started easily enough. A short flight to PV, a driver patiently waiting with my name on his sign escorted me to a spacious, lux, SUV, for a pleasant 45-minute drive to Sayulita. Transportation pre-arranged by Villa Colina was effortless. The journey through town is full of interesting sights of this vibrant authentic Mexican beach village. You do NOT want or need a car. The streets are full of people, carts, and vendors. If you want to see the surrounding area, make other arrangements, but I’d advise not having a personal rental car for your stay, it’s unnecessary and likely more hassle than it’s worth. |Arriving at Villa Colina is like stepping into your own private resort. Behind the gate is an intriguing, well layed-out compound with four spacious en-suite bedrooms boasting understated luxurious appointments that will put any individual with the highest of standards at ease. This weary traveler may have been tempted to spend his entire vacation in the oh-so-comfy bed, understandable, but there is so much to do and explore. I eased my way to a lawn chair by the pool that overlooks the ocean and watched the surfers ride the break. Surrounded by tropical trees and plants with exotic blooms, I became ubiquitous with the inquisitive birds and lazy iguanas as we blended in to our natural habitat. |The amenities here are endless. There is something for everyone, young and old alike. Put your mind at ease as you take a refreshing drink of triple filtered tap water without worrying about stomach flu. An easy stroll down a meandering path puts you quickly in the vibrant town. It’s easy to become enamored by the music and food scene. Pay attention. It feels very safe but remember it only takes one bad apple to ruin your day. I didn’t witness any misfortune, thank goodness, and it would be naive to say it doesn’t exist, but the place has a good vibe of creative artists who clearly lookout for one another and that is really the only contagious quality I caught. Follow the guidelines laid out by the proprietor and you are going to have an amazing cultural experience in Mexico, weather you are a newbie like me or a seasoned Mexican traveler, it’s totally effortless when you stay at Villa Colina. I did not see any boarder town burrows, just hard working, jovial local folk who treat their animals with dignity by not painting them for tourist attractions. Enjoy your stay, you'll return home a new person. |Jeff F.

Villa Colina is a perfect place to Stay in Sayulita, Mexico if you want to relax, enjoy variety of restaurants, bars and cafes, surf fun waves, enjoy beautiful beaches, and do some hikes. All this is 2 minute walking distance from the Villa Colina. We spent a week at this home located right over the perfect beach, with beautiful views of the ocean. You have to experience this home with your friends and family to appreciate how spacious it is, gazebo, pool, view of mountains. It has a Spanish style and rooms have Mexican decorations, yet they have a comfort of modern day. Great size kitchen, indoor and outdoor space for family and friends to congregate/eat together and pool overlooking the sea. If you like to surf you will appreciate the real time surf report by walking over to the pool to view, of the “Sandbar” surf break. We felt extremely secure, the facility is entirely fenced with guard watching at night. The staff is great - welcoming, warm and helpful. We stayed here in February and loved the temperatures, the house was very comfortable. If you are coming from San Diego, we used CBX (and recommend it) to fly out from Tijuana to Porta Vallarta, this was a much cheaper alternative than flying out from San Diego, but do allow some time to cross the border. Once we reached the destination, we enjoyed the beach every day, went hiking to Playa Los Mertos or Playa San Panchito, and did Yoga at roseroomyoga, went horseback riding, and whale watching. Each day our rooms were made and spotless, most importantly our bed was extremely comfortable, and we were getting a great night sleep. Don’t worry about brining shampoo, soap, conditioner the bathroom had a great products. We liked the extra shower by the pool we used after beach day to shower off before jumping in the pool. If you are working remotely, the wireless service is excellent. Sayulita should be on your bucket list, a short distance from Porta Vallarta with charm you will not forget. We would definitely stay at Vila Colina again, highly recommended.
