I believe we were over charged. I paid $1723 Canadian Dollars for what was supposedly $1162 USD. I stayed in PV the following 4 days at a hotel basically the same price and was charged almost $200 less on my card. No hot water for 4 days and every time I asked about it I was told that everyone else had hot water. I wouldn’t stay here again. The property is off the beaten path. The price bothers me.

Avela is wonderful!! The location is out of town away from the noise but close enough to walk. The staff are so kind and lovely. Highly recommend anyone staying :)

My husband and I stayed at this lovely hotel for almost two weeks and we did not want to leave!! We debated whether we should stay closer to the beach, but once we saw how loud it was in Sayulita we were so thankful for the peace and solitude of this hotel. It was the perfect respite after touring through the city all day. We would come back to the hotel at about 3:00 and just relax at the pool until evening. All of the other guests were friendly and respectful and from all over the world. The owners were extremely warm and friendly. Very professional and made sure that we had everything we needed. The food at the hotel is incredible! We ate breakfast at the hotel every morning and it was our favorite meal. The coffee is also delicious. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. I loved the private balcony and the huge showers. The entire facility is beautifully designed down to every last detail. It was a short walk to the town and there was a small hill. I think the hotel has golf carts you can use as well. We actually loved the walk though and petting the little chihuahuas along the way. It was fun to be a part of the neighborhood. :) They helped us set up a cab to the airport and for pickup. Just know that traffic from Puerta Vallarta is AWFUL so you may have to wait a bit for them to arrive. It’s worth the wait! We mistakenly cancelled when they weren’t at the airport and then paid way too much for the cab to Salyulita, just be patient, We HIGHLY recommend this hotel!

What a beautiful property! Far enough from town where you can get a quiet nights sleep but close enough to walk or golf cart to town. Erik the owner and his staff are simply the best. They went above and beyond for us everyday. Highly recommend Avela!

very friendly staff and spacious rooms

Nice new to look at but to stay in, it’s not as advertised. Sometimes you have water, sometimes you don’t, sometimes there is no hot water. Walls are paper thin and service is rather disappointing :) On my last day I was charged extra $400 and since I got notification on my phone I was able to address it right away. Lady working said she needs help to solve it and ask me to leave because she’s on phone ( samples of many ) :). No respond to emails regarding transactions arrangements from airport to hotel or questions regarding billing.

Been to Sayulita many times. This is the first time I stayed within the town and this little hotel was perfect. Clean, amazing staff, great spacious rooms, 10 min walk to downtown, close by little stores, pharmacy, restaurants, zero noise and easy access to other parts of Riviera Nayarit. We're definitely going back and staying at Avela. Fully recommend this adorable hidden gem.

Spent two nights at the Avela. Overall, very nice property. Easy to get to from downtown Sayulita. Pros: nice clean hotel; nice clean rooms; great pool area Cons: No coffee....; small bathrooms. Overall pleasing experience. Had the pool to ourselves all day Sunday which was actually quite nice.

Wonderful stay made better by the wonderful service of both front desk employees. Great pool and clean and comfortable rooms too.

Nice place, very helpful staff, no breakfast as advertised but staff found us coffee! ONLY people in the hotel! A bit strange, but felt safe. Nice ten minute walk to town. Comfy beds!! Used the Last Min Deals.....so it was a good deal $$$

I had the most amazing time staying at Avela last week. The concierge Oscar was incredible, starting with the check in. We arrived earlier then the check in time and because they had the room available already he let us check in right away. Which was so nice after a long travel day! He gave us some tips for getting around town and told us all the best spots to check out for food and drinks in town! Our room was perfectly clean and the beds were a dream! Still wishing I could pack the whole bed in my suitcase to bring home with me. We were very lucky because it was a slow week at the Avela and we only had a couple other guests to share the entire property with. The hot tubs are set up on timers so they were only hot during the day. When we asked Oscar about it he made sure to turn them back on each night so that we could enjoy them before bed! Such a thoughtful touch! Both Oscar and JC were absolutely incredible hosts for the week, it felt like I was staying with a good friend not at a hotel. Which is something you dont get very often! I cant wait to come back to Sayulita and I will definitely be staying at Avela when I come Back!
