Cute hotel, recommend for young people

4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Mar 14, 2024
Super cute little hotel offering basic accomodations right in the heart of Sayulita.
The room itself was just what we needed - a simple, no-frills, safe place to stay with some cool common hangout areas. We felt very secure there, with three different access keys (one for barred gate, two for your room) and the other guests were chill and respectful.
We upgraded to the "deluxe" room for a little more space and an extra single bed/lounger. The bathroom was not fully enclosed, just separated by a partition wall. While the essentials of the room such as the bed, bathroom, mini-fridge, and tabletops were clean, I noticed that some of the other areas such as the shelves and corners of the floors were a little dusty. Not a big deal to us, though.
The lobby area is really just an entryway, and office is not open all day - just mornings for check-outs and afternoons (4 PM+) for check-ins. Staff was very friendly. We were asked to put a $20 cash deposit upon checking in, which we received back during check-out after confirming that we left a tip for housekeeping.
There are three outdoor common areas on the upper levels that were really cool. A level with small pool and running fountain, a patio with table, chairs and loveseat, and a tall wooden upper deck with great views of the city. The hotel also had a filtered water station for refilling your water bottle on the 2nd floor.
As I said, the hotel is situated right in the heart of Sayulita, just across from the main plaza. There are a lot of loud bars right beneath and adjacent to the property which play loud music until around 2-3 AM. I read about that in the reviews and it wasn't a problem for us, since we are experienced festival-goers and heavy sleepers.
Definitely a win! Thank you Petit Hotel Hafa.

Room Tip: Head to the store for drinks and snacks for your mini-fridge! Uber from hotel to Sayulita is...

The small cafe, Flor es Ser was awesome!!! The couple running it were super friendly as well as a couple local customers, Leo and his brother Armando! I had avocado cheese egg toast and a matcha iced drink! Colorful pictures and their puppy, “Monster” a bonus!

Room tip: Paid parking up the street, look for the mural wall- see pics attached!

Travelling from Canada to Nuevo Vallarta each winter since 2013 my wife & I have stayed at this hotel on two occasions when overnighting in Sayulita, most recently on Jan.08 & 09. Previous reviews by other guests adequately describe the rooms, the noise and hotel location within the town. I will simply confirm that our young, female receptionist was courteous & helpful when we walked in off the street having made no reservation. She showed us a room that was spotlessly clean with minimum but tasteful decor. It suited our every need for our two night stay and the ear plugs negated any outside clatter. The rooftop area is simply wonderful and feels like an oasis when one wants a break from the bustling town centre. We would definitely stay here again.

Cute little hotel one block from the central plaza. This was the second time we stayed here. There is only about 10 rooms, so it’s difficult to book. Love the ambiance,the rooftop lounge, courtesy tequila, and hammock. The rooms are clean and perfect size. The bathroom is an all-in-one sink, shower, toilet combined (interesting but it works). The air conditioning works well which is important too. Really cute place for couples,

We where in Sayulita for the day, and decided to stay.
We found this little hotel close to the main plaza and loved it.
Because it is so close to the main plaza it can be noisy at night but they provide earplugs and we didn’t even notice the noise.
It has a many beautiful details like hearts in the doors, and a gorgeous terrace. The owner must be an artist that makes us Arabian style Decor with a Mexican flair.
The room we chose didn’t have AC, but it was cool enough with the fan.
Very affordably priced!!
Will definitely plan on returning in the future.

We stayed three nights and absolutely loved the room. We were in room 1, which is the heart room. A magical walkway and a comfortable bed. The bathroom has a palapa roof which ads to the charm.
There is a noise issue on weekends from the surrounding bars, but just stay up with the party people and it’s not an issue.
