My family and friends traveled from near and far to be with me to celebrate a milestone birthday. We stayed at Villa Pelicano's and we didn't have a single regret about our choice. The property is magnificent with views of the ocean from every single place you could stand. Mariana/Xavier/Theo and everyone else we encountered was amazing. Would definitely stay here again.

We just returned from a 1 week stay at Villa Pelicanos...It was by far one of the 'BEST' weeks our family has ever enjoyed...From the moment we confirmed our reservation, to our communication with Theo, to our fantastic meals from Marianna and Nancy, to Javier's on site assistance to make sure our holiday was just 'Perfect'. We celebrated our 50th Wedding Anniversary with our full compliment of 18 in our immediate family. Our 8 Grandchildren, our Children and their spouses ALL were absolutely blown away by the beauty, cleanliness, the views, the rooms, and everything that makes this property stand out as one of the 'BEST' we have ever stayed. However it is the people of Villa Pelicanos that make the difference. They are warm, generous, genuine, and fun. Can't say enough about them and our magical experience in Sayulita for our 50..Celebration!

A beautiful view

An amazing property with beautiful views. Rooms are clustered in a way to give some privacy and space from the larger group. The staff was amazing to work with. Mariana and Jessica were wonderful to work with around planning our meals for 16 people including many kids. We had a great stay. There were enough stairs to keep you in shape while eating the wonderful food. You could hear the sounds of the bigger town especially at night but at a distance. I would highly recommend this property for family retreats or other gatherings.
