Just returned to the States after our Second Visit to Casitas Tortugas. My family of four absolutely loved our stay (again). If you're looking for a safe, clean, convenient stay in Sayulita you don't need to look any further. We stayed in the Jungle Penthouse both times and we couldn't have been happier. Marcelo treated us with care and respect,... More

My wife and I have visited Sayulita four times and each time we have stayed at this place. It is convenient for the town (being a minute away) and beaches (being only two or three minutes away). The rooms are comfortable studios, furnished nicely and clean. The gardens are superb with tables and chairs supplied plus a pond filled with... More

I was so excited to book the Penthouse for my trip to Sayulita and just couldn't wait. When I arrived and pushed my bag up the precarious stairs the owner said that the neighbor had been burning and getting ash all over. His even demonstrated by wiping some off. Then he left. I proceeded to sweep the ash some of... More

Kimberly! I'm so sorry that you had a bad experience in the Jungle Penthouse, it's truly the first time ever that someone complains about it! It was terrible that those neighbors were burning wood and leafs those two days, I had cleaned everything really well the day before your arrival. When I showed you to your place, I just saw... More

There are lots of beautiful getaways in the world. And with the palm-lined sandy beach of Sayulita just two blocks away, Casitas Tortugas is unquestionably one of them – indoors and out. The home and grounds are beautiful. The architecture is delightful – lots of organic curves, natural materials, artistic touches, with views of the city and the hills, plus... More

I'm staying at Casitas Tortugas for a month, Marcelo, the owner gave me a special deal during this low season ending at the end of October. I love the place, inside and outside. I was also able to see the process of making a video that Marcelo and a friend have just created and posted in the Casitas Tortugas website.... More

Casitas Tortugas was a lovely home away from home in Sayulita. The owner, Marcelo, has designed and maintained the casitas with lots of charm and character. His artistic flair and attention to detail are apparent everywhere. There was more than enough space for our family of four and the location in town was great. ...close to everything without being directly... More

I'm sure there are a lot of great places to stay in Sayulita, but for our money this was perfect. We actually stayed somewhere else for the first half of our trip, and only wished we had set up camp here the whole time. It's really close to "downtown" and the beach, but without the noise. Very clean and comfortable,... More

My husband and I recently returned from a 10 day stay in Sayulita at Casita Tortugas. I would highly recommend Casita Tortugas to anyone. The whole place is meticulously maintained and cared for by the owner, Marcelo. Even if it is hot outside, it stays remarkably cool inside, I believe due to the palapa roof and the concrete construction. Also... More
