quiet, peaceful boutique hotel close to center of sayulita, but away from the bustle and noise. deluxe king room was very comfortable. Rooms did an excellent job of keeping sound out from any chatter in the courtyard or from neighboring rooms. Well sized, very nice bathroom and great mattress. Having the kitchenette was nice for our 8 day stay. Staff was very kind and helpful. Pool area was just the right size for the number of guest. This is great place if you are looking for a peaceful retreat and not the party scene.

Everything was great

I highly recommend Casa de la Ballena. Martin and his staff are amazing. Very responsive and always looking to accommodate their guests. The breakfasts are delicious (pro tip: go for the huevos rancheros divorciados!).

Our stay at Casa de la Ballena was wonderful. Martin was super welcoming and accommodating. The free breakfast offering was generous. The grounds were immaculately kept. The hotel is a short 5min walk from the beach and downtown Sayulita which I appreciated because it was quiet enough but still close to the action.

Casa de la Ballena was great! Quiet and quant with all of the amenities needed for a relaxing stay. The room was spacious, comfortable bed/sheets, large fridge and kitchenette, and a very nice restroom/shower. The staff was attentive and very kind. Breakfast every morning was perfect and was only a few steps down from the room in the main courtyard. Just thinking about Casa de la Ballena has me planning my next stay.

Great location that's just outside of the centro, but still quiet and peaceful at night. Gorgeous facilities, superb staff, and the complimentary breakfast was very good.

The hotel is clean, small, quiet and beautiful. The rooms are well appointed and large. The water on the entire facility is potable and a kitchenette is a great convenience. The breakfast options were plentiful, delicious and healthy. The location is perfect - close to but not in the bustle of the plaza and easy walks to two beaches.

Really great lil boutique hotel. Facilities and staff were great. Location

Every little detail... perfection! Can't wait to return to this sweet paradise. Excellent rooms, grounds, and hosts!

Nothing at all.

Senor Martin and his staff...wow! For those of you viewing all of the 9s and 10s for this property with some skepticism....you need not worry. I am not sure if I have ever given a property a 10 rating...but the property and staff well earned it...especially for the value. Staff: These guys are so kind and helpful with seemingly perpetual smiles; a great way to start the day. Breakfast is included and if it isn't on the menu, Martin and his team were always willing to bend over backwards to keep the guests happy. The housekeepers were warm and friendly and kept the place and the grounds in tip top shape. Location: 4 short blocks on cobblestone streets to either town plaza OR to the beach. Pro tip...easy walk to Playa de los Muertos; a somewhat more quiet beach than the main Sayulita beach with chairs, umbrellas, and delivered food and bev...but no bad options. This property IS the definition of boutique hotel with very few rooms so a very intimate experience. If you are into nightlife, countless restaurants, bars, coffee shops, and myriad clothes and other shops exist. We found Sayulita a safe albeit bustling small beach town which was just what we were looking for. If you want to retreat from the nightlife, the Casa de Ballena is precisely that retreat as the high walls limit virtually any outside noise excepting the wide range of tropical birds that come in and out (NO...you don't hear them in your room; in fact, you don't hear anything in your room...a huge plus). Rooms: Like new...full sized refrigerator/freezer, sink, and two burner stovetop if you feel like eating in. Note that the only food and bev service here is the breakfast service but countless great options "outside of the walls" including markets to buy anything you want to eat for lunch or dinner (if you choose not to go out).

- Wifi is great throughout the property for small device/computer use, but in our room, we struggled mightily during the evenings to get and keep our television connected to Netflix/Prime note: FUBO does not work in Mexico - Transportation: Recommend working with Martin early to identify a reliable taxi driver and plan your transportation needs for your stay. We almost missed our dive boat due to one self-professed "reliable" driver that we procured on our own...not Martin's referral so that was on us. Ended up with CJ of Sayulita Taxi Service as our go-to for fair fares and a professional that clearly prioritized timeliness and cleanliness.

Close and convenient to town and beach, but far enough for peace and quiet when we wanted it. Excellent staff, particularly Martin. A perfect breakfast every day. A calm enclosed courtyard and pool area. Our room was spacious, quiet and well equipped including a kitchenette, Nespresso machine and sitting area.

Really nothing, although I guess if I had to find a fault, the WiFi connection fell off in the depths of the room.

I wish they had do not disturb signs to hang on the door

Everything was amazing and the staff was really helpful-

It's a little pricy for what it is, but I would stay there again.

quiet, classy, clean, convenient, comfortable

only thing I would have liked was some different gym equipment, but no problem bc the town has some great gyms

Martin and staff were exceptional!!!! Facilities were a 10/10 Best breakfast in Sayulita!!!

No complaints

What a wonderful place to stay. We enjoyed the location and proximity to everything.

Location is close to everything but also quiet. Pool and hot tub are great. Good breakfast. Very nice and accommodating staff.

Nothing

Quiet, clean, friendly, relaxing and Martin is an amazing host who makes every one feel welcome. An oasis in the heart of Sayulita.

I really liked the central location and just a few blocks for all the action in town and between both beaches

Great hotel with comfortable rooms, design and spacious bathroom, very friendly personnel and finally, perfectly located. In town, but away from any noise at night.

Nothing. Perfect stay, excellent service.

Great place, close to everything. Super clean & spacious rooms. Loved everything!

10 out of 10 property manager was awesome, grounds are well maintained and beautiful, and super close to the town square and beach.

nada

Casa de Ballena was the perfect vacation getaway - we loved the ease of waking up and going out for a delicious coffee and breakfast on the patio. The pool was a great afternoon retreat in the shade after spending time on the beach and the AC in the rooms made it easy to sleep and the location was close enough to walk and far enough to avoid the the nighttime noise of downtown Sayulita! Martin and his staff are helpful and kind! Also a perk is the filtered water! Lovely room, can't say enough good things!

Not a dislike - but the door locking system took a us bit to figure out! But felt very secure once we got the hang of it!

Martin was really lovely when he checked us in. The pool was so nice to hang out at, and we enjoyed having a complimentary breakfast every morning.

everything, the place is beautiful and comfortable, the staff is always kind and ready to help. The decore and quality of the rooms is amazing. No complaints at all, breakfast is complete and an overall 10 por this wonderful hotel, will stay here next visit.

Excellent property, the staff take pride in keeping the hotel clean and being attentive to whatever you need. The beds are super comfy and the wifi was pretty good. Martin, the manager, is the hardest working man in Sayulita! From late check-ins, cleaning the grounds, making us breakfast, he does it all! He really goes above and beyond to make you feel at home. I would defintely stay at the hotel again.

clean, modern, great location and friendly, helpful staff.

loved it all.
