Recently stayed at the Casablanca and had a lovely time. Our group made the mistake of looking at the recent reviews on here and completely panicked days before our trip to Sayulita. We were so pleasantly surprised by everything the hotel had to offer. We had two different room types, one in building A (furthest from the beach) a few floors up, and the other in a building closer to the beach on the ground floor. Both rooms were great. True, the ground floor rooms are a bit darker because of the lush plants on the property, but they're still great rooms. We actually reread some of the terrible reviews while relaxing poolside and found them to be kind of crazy and hilarious. If I had to guess, the people who wrote them have never been to Mexico. We did not have a sewer smell from our bathroom, but the times I have had that in Mexico, it was when I was flushing toilet paper - so it makes me wonder if that was the culprit for folks who have complained about that. We left food out on the counter and did see some tiny tiny little ants the next morning, but they disappeared when we put the food in the fridge. The rooms are bright white, and I loved it, it feels very clean. The sheets and towels were fine, but the beds are quite firm (we never had problems getting to sleep, but they are firmer than I'd like). The pool was clean and the beach is a quick stumble away from even the furthest room. We really enjoyed this hotel and will absolutely stay here again! In our experience, after staying in several hotels and airbnbs in town, this location in Sayulita is the best! The only things I would change are the beds, and I would love if they had some sort of fridge behind reception where you could buy canned cocktails, drinks and snacks!

My family stayed in the 'penthouse' over Christmas and LOVED it!! The view is incredible. Like mesmerizing. It's a special suite and we will remember it for a lifetime. Unfortunately, my husband has a bad knee that acts up occasionally, so 4 flights of stairs were a little challenging. Don't book the penthouse if you have mobility issues. That being said... we all loved it. The open air 'treehouse' feel was very cool. The kitchen was equipped with whatever we needed although we mostly ate out in Sayulita.
The internet was a little hit or miss, my kids spent a fair amount of time at the pool to soak up the best wifi. The pool was very clean and the beach was STUNNING. They got surf lessons down the beach.
The staff were great and were very helpful. I believe the hotel was fully booked but never felt busy. Free bottled water is available in the room and the front entrance.
I will be coming back.

Casablanca was a wonderful out of the way hotel right on the beach. It is not a resort. The hotel is an older, traditional style building(s) with a pool in the center of the two buildings. The suites have plenty of room for two with all the amenities to be comfortable for your stay. It is quite a walk to the main plaza but there are several restaurants close by as well as markets for groceries. The beach is right in front. Never felt crowed and all we came across were gracious and friendly. If there was any negative, the WIFI is not “high speed” but didn’t impact anything we needed. The transportation company that works with the hotel has top notch drivers. Loved it!

We did not have a pleasant stay at the Casablanca Hotel. In a nutshell, the bed was a board, sheets scratchy, had almost no remaining bottled water and the towels were ripped, stained and threadbare. The toilet paper is in the same holder and of the same quality as a gas station. No dish towels and a tv with no remote. Everything I looked for, was not there. At every turn, I felt like the owners were saying “we want to spend as little on you for your stay as possible.” The shame is that it would not take a lot of money to make the rooms quite comfortable; new beds, linens, some decent tissue and ensuring the room is well stocked. I will say the front desk is helpful and the grounds are absolutely stunning but we won’t be staying again.

We stayed in the Main House for a week with 8 adults, one infant and 2 small kids. It’s really a dream layout and location, right on the waterfront w gorgeous views and your own private pool and outdoor living space. Each master suite is private from the others, spread across 2 free standing buildings. So no one is sharing walls which is nice. The kitchen is great to have, and the hotel staff replenishes the purified water bottle tank throughout your stay which is really helpful. Altho you’re on the quieter side of the beach, which is great, there can still be some loud noise — there was a wedding party next door at an AirBnB that played loud music til the early morning on 2 nights. Nothing the hotel could control, obviously. Also the waves crashing so closeby on the beach are VERY loud. Not in the gentle, white noise kind of way, but in a thunderous kind of way. A few of us had a hard time sleeping, even w ear plugs. But I doubt the waves are always that intense, I think we just happened to be there when some big swells came in. Being on the north side means you can also easily hike over to Mal Pasas beach, which is gorgeous and unspoiled. We even hiked all the way to San Pancho one day, from the hotel. Other things to note — the showers have *some* hot water, but low water pressure. The outdoor shower worked the best. The bathrooms are not the most private setup, with half doors made of bamboo. The bunk beds are situated in 2 of the main suites, in a semi-private but not really separate way. We didn’t experience any bug issues while we were there, but it was winter. Also, the big windows do not have screens, so if you have small kids you have to keep them shut for safety. Overall I think this was the perfect place to stay in Sayulita, if you like a rustic paradise.

This could be a very nice place. The location is a quick walk to the plaza and is on a quiet street with direct beach access. At first glance all looks good- it is obvious they have lots of staff that keeps the buildings painted and the grounds manicured and swept. The pool is lovely (although it was heated so warm it was more a bathtub). But the rooms really need updating! Our sheets were old and stained. The bed was way too soft. The whole accomodation was musty smelling but especially the closet- we wouldn't even put our clothes in it. The doors to the balconies came off the tracks every time you opened or closed them. The shower had almost no pressure and was lukewarm. The towels were old and fraying. If they updated the rooms to current standards, this place would be a 4 star.

I stayed here for 8 nights with my extended family, we had 4 rooms including the penthouse. This place is magical, we all loved it here. Communication was great before we arrive with Octavio and when we arrived. The woman at the front desk was very welcoming, my husband and kids went fishing with her husband , a great experience , later we had dinner at the penthouse with the fish that a woman who works at the hotel prepared, all was delicious. Would definitely return, loved it here. I slept so great here with the sounds of the ocean

Hard pass…. We went for the new year. Left 2 days early. Place was all painted white so everything showed. Reasonably priced but expected it to be nicer with all the good reviews. The only place I would stay is the main house where you have access to the pool on the beach.

The website and photos are deceiving unless you book an upper room, penthouse or Front House. We were booked into a ground floor room and it was dark and damp with very little natural light. The kitchen was well stocked but lots of things in the bedroom and bathroom were broken and bedding and sheets frayed and worn. Beach lounge chairs were stained and dirty. It would be helpful to price and promote ground level or garden view suites vs ocean views as they are very different experiences and I would have been very disappointed if we had booked longer than 2 nights. It was definitely a quieter hotel at the end of the beach and people staying there were very friendly.

We had a great experience at this hotel. The front desk staff are extremely helpful from recommending restaurants, booking a rental car, booking covid tests (so we could return to the US). It has a nice pool and is steps to the beach with beach chairs and umbrellas for guests. We stayed in a room on the second floor and it had two quaint balconies-one in the living area, one off of the bedroom, both very private with the surrounding foliage and the ocean so close we could hear the waves. If you are high maintenance expecting first class amenities this is not your spot; but if you are into a boutique hotel experience with amazing staff, this is your spot.

No, but it is a 2 minute walk to the beach where there are two bars. La Isla has great margaritas and fresh ceviche. They have other food too but we always had the ceviche! Loved this hotel - great rooms and wonderful staff.
Hello! There was shampoo, conditioner and soap provided daily along with clean towels and a blow dryer.
We got a taxi outside the airport and the cost for 2 adults from the airport to Sayulita with a stop at Sam’s and the grocery store was about $60.00 USD including tip. (If you arrange your own transportation, you will save money if you walk outside the airport across the bridge.)
Also, always confirm the price before getting in the taxi. One other hint, confirm that the AC works and will be on during the ride!
There are more places to choose from in the Sayulita area.
