exceeded my expectations
Beautiful and peaceful property perfect for our first visit to Sayulita. Included breakfast every morning, the best breakfasts I've had in the last few years of travel in US and Asia. The friendly property manager provided top notch service everyday so we could truly enjoy our mini-vacation. I plan to return and I am recommending Casa de la Ballena to friends and family.

Wonderful Stay!
What a beautiful location. Our room was large and clean. The pool area was beautiful. The breakfast was very good. But best of all, the staff was so friendly and accommodating. (My friend spoke Spanish so that helped, but they speak English there too.) Someone recommended it to me and I'm so glad I chose it. I highly recommend it too.

Couldn't be better!
Wonderful all around.
Clean, close enough to the action to walk to easily. Just far enough to be quiet.
Breakfast was fantastic every time.
I seriously can't wait to go back.

The small hotel was absolutely perfect. Martin was incredibly sweet. No noise in the evenings which was so nice. Calm, private, clean & super relaxing. The included breakfast & lattes were delicious too! I would highly recommend this property if you are looking for a serene/chill vibe.

Loved this hotel! Martin and his staff treat their guests like family. The property was well kept, in great condition, and very comfortable. Downtown is a short walk and it was nice to be a little outside the busy area. The neighborhood felt safe and the itself was a little oasis. Also, the daily breakfast offered a variety of options and was delicious. I would definitely recommend.
Thanks for a great stay!

We enjoyed the beautiful property, whether lounging at the pool or sitting in the dining area. The hard-working staff was very pleasant and it was a joy to walk into our lovely super-clean room at the end of a busy day. Martin, the manager, was helpful, no matter the request. The room was spacious and the little kitchen had everything necessary to prepare a meal. Only 5 minutes walk or less, to the beach and the town! If I had to come up with one suggestion, it would be to add grab bars in the shower. Otherwise, it’s a lovely oasis!

Amazing hotel
We stayed at Casa de la Ballena during our recent 10 day Sayulita trip and absolutely loved it. The location of the property is less then a five minute walk into town, so no need for a golf cart unless you plan to explore further out. For as much noise as there sometimes is around the town, our experience while in the hotel was always extremely peaceful and quiet. The entire property always felt clean, safe and really secure.
The pool was a perfect place to lounge on the days we didn’t want to hangout at the beach and kept us cool in the heat.
From 8-11am you’re also welcome to join on the patio for breakfast and coffee, which was included in your stay and really delicious. You’re provided a small menu of options, spanning from pancakes and bacon to chilaquiles, and everything was super yummy. Martin and his staff are incredibly polite, accommodating and take a lot of pride in the property. The place was even more beautiful then the photos led on. I highly recommend staying here and plan to make it our regular spot from now on.
