We wanted to mix luxury resorts in Puerta Vallarta with a bit more relaxed vibes in Sayulita. Not only through a day visit but for a few nights.
Based on good reviews and a nice price offer from Hotels.com we opted for Ximena. It lived up to all expectations. Good location on walking distance from the beaches. Very nice staff and with good command of English. Clean and modern rooms with good AC and a little fridge.
Roof top pool is not big but not the smallest we’ve seen either. We were almost the only guests using it and then the size was no issue at all. Towels provided for the pool. And a big plus, towels for the beach was also provided by the hotel!!
No meal service at the hotel, but no problem to find breakfast close by. If looking for good morning cappuccino there is a nice place a few blocks down the road, same side as the hotel across from the big sports bar and next to the veterinary.
We mixed very relaxed dinners on no name places with a more fancy option at Don Pedros, well worth a few extra pesos.
Uber from the airport to Ximena cost us MXP 890. No problem to find uber for the return to PV.

This place is a true gem in Sayulita. The location is central and the town square and beaches are only a few minutes walk. The hotel is clean, new, and the rooftop pool was super. Coffee and water in the hallways is a great touch and staff was very accommodating. The rooms are appointed very well. Beds are comfortable, toiletries were awesome, and everything was modern and convenient. Would not hesitate to stay here again. The design of the suites is great for larger groups wanting to stay together.

We stayed 3 nights and it was so nice. I am sorry that I can only remember Jose “Joseph” by name but everyone at the Ximena was Great. Breakfast, room,comfortable bed and nice warm pool, all so nice. Located a block away from the bus station made it easy to travel to Guayabitos, San Pancho and South if you wanted.We plan to return again!
