The Casa de la Ballena is a beautiful hotel with great staff, that is very relaxing and peaceful.
My wife and I had a wonderful stay at the Casa de la Ballena, even with 5 days of rain. The rooms, pool, hot tub and grounds were beautiful. The perfect relaxing environment. The hotel was also in a great location, close enough to easily walk to town but far enough to be quiet in the evening during sleeping time. What made our stay perfect was the on-site hotel manager, Martin. Martin was an outstanding host and helped us with any issues we had, from driving us to town to find an IT store to fix our dead cell phone, helping secure parking for our golf cart rental and arranging airport transportation. He made sure we were happy with all of our time at the Casa de la Ballena. The hotel was a special place with special staff. And, the breakfast is awesome, with many delicious options.
The only thing I can say we didn't like - was that the hot water in the shower did not stay hot very long, about 8 minutes then start to cool. My wife found it a little challenging shampooing and rinsing her hair, but she made it work and the hot water would reheat fast after the shower. A few days we had to make it a two-shower day, but that was okay.

Un lindo espacio para descansar
Nos encantó la tranquilidad del lugar, espacios muy bonitos para descansar, comer y relajarse. Atención cercana del personal y mobiliario muy bien cuidado.
Hubo una situación excepcional en la que se presentó una fiesta por la madrugada en el sitio, una desconsideración de los residentes, sin embargo, el personal ofreció disculpas y nos permitió hacer un late check-in sin costo extra.

Very pretty, well designed and beautiful landscaped. Not super warm and friendly.
The property itself is beautiful, very well maintained and landscaped. The landscapers/cleaning employees were terrific and very much keep up the property. Our king room was a great size, very quality materials/cabinetry. The pictures online don't quite show how pretty and well made the hotel is.
The breakfast was fine, nothing above and beyond. It was fresh cooked. Small plate of fruit, no salsas or special pastries or juices that I'd expect at a more expensive place like this hotel. The hotel reviews about how quiet this hotel is what made me book it. Their rules are quite strict that if you party or disrupt other tenants that you can be asked to leave. However, one night there was a loud bass party that lasted from 2:00am to 4:00am. We could hear other guests trying to figure out where the party was coming from. We figured it was from a neighbor to the hotel. In the morning I found out it was from the owner and his friends that had come to stay at the private penthouse (not accessible by guests) & had a party. We were so tired in the morning and I felt that the owner (who i didn't meet) was very rude and insensitive. A double standard. It seemed to put the hotel manager in an awkward position, and he seemed stressed the entire length of our stay. He was kind but not overly friendly like I had seen in prior review. I don't believe the owner lives there, I think he was there on holiday. It was only one of the nights we were there. Only a few rooms were booked for the remainder of our stay, I don't know if others left coincidentally at this time or because of this party.

Great place to rest and relax.
private, quiet, serene setting, just the right distance from town and noise. Staff was great and even met owner who was gracious.
Internet was spotty.

Great location, yummy breakfast, amazing stay.
Location was perfect, slight hill to get to hotel - not enough to make you huff and puff but enough to feel good in your body. It was about a 5-10 min walk to the main plaza, downtown where all the shops and restaurants were. It was about a 10 min walk to Sayulita beach and maybe 25 min walk/hike through some jungle to both Carricitos and Muertos beach. Ma Pasa beach was VERY secluded, was able to sunbathe and get in the ocean nude. That was a little past Sayulita beach-maybe a 30 min nice hike, can either go over the rocks or through the jungle. I ended up going there 3 days in a row. Amazing and grounding energy there. The hotel was in the perfect location in my opinion, far enough from the town so you didn't hear the music all night, so you could get some sleep-but close enough to walk to everything pretty quickly. The first night I was there, Friday night, did get a little loud. Earplugs completely drowned that out though. Fri and Sat can be like that. AC was nice and cold. Internet was in and out but fine for what I needed it for, was wanting to mostly digital detox while I was there anyway. Was good enough to check on things back home here and there. The staff there were lovely, very heartwarming and hospitable. I can't say enough good things about them. I am vegan and gluten free and they were able to cater my breakfast to my diet.
Heavily scented cleaning products. The scent was nice and fragrant but I am super sensitive to smells and get migraines often. It helped a little when I took the air freshener out of the room. If you aren't sensitive to smells-it won't bother you and you'd probably find the smell enjoyable. Other than that, no complaints at all and I wouldn't really consider that a complaint.

Comfortable stay, delicious breakfast, quiet location, spotlessly clean. The service is top-notch. Martin runs a tight ship.
