Thanks for the video! I’m super excited to go and stay for awhile!

[@jess49497]

Mexico, a country full of culture and traditions, I hope to return soon.

[@peterronchetti1736]

We just returned from Sayuluta and we were equally impressed, can't wait to go back. On the tail of the Californian storms the surf was amazing for photography! One important omission here - for craft beer fans - YamBak bar right off the central plaza has some really good IPAs and other options, and it's flanked by a couple of really good taco stands, from which you're welcome to "eat in".

Awesome video! Thanks for the travel tips 🤙🏽

[@pippa3150]

Thank you so much for the great video!

[@StephenOshea]

lovely scenery thanks for posting

[@SasoCasablanca63]

This is great, PS: I laughed when you said "for groceries there are no big supermarket chains here", Thank god there are none, as that is why I would go to a place like Sayulita: Shop local , small and fresh.

[@alalesc3796]

Nice video! Sayulita is beautiful! Gastronomy in Mexico is amazing, Mexico is the best option in Latin America for vacations.

[@russelltheone6969]

Looks like I've got a new place to go experience

[@WalkingVibes4K]

Great video👍✔

[@ShauninParadise]

fun video. san pancho, where I live to the north, is as you said... a quieter option.

[@FlippedSociety]

Hi Hi, We're headed here and I'm taking notes! What beach is shot with drone @ 1:10? Do you have info on the 4hr surf excursion?! Thank you!

[@julieta12]

Did you guys try Xochi (restaurant)? If so did you guys not like it?

[@JohnS-er7jh]

looks like a nice place. As for not bringing valuables to the beach. That goes for anywhere (including in the United States, even in upscale towns there are people who will steal). $40 a day for an electric golf cart, wow. That sounds like a great business to run. They are a lot cheaper to buy/maintain then a car, and they will last longer since you aren't going to be putting that many miles on an golf cart (vs a rental car).

What is the best hotel in Sayultia, Mexico? I am thinking about going in December.

[@blakep528]

Pay with cash where possible to avoid the shop owners losing out 3% to the credit card companies. Makes a big difference in the long run.

[@anjelicayoder1177]

Do most restaurants in Sayulita that you mentioned and Mary's restaurant take credit card?

[@silverzsz]

the thatch link doesnt work! is there another url to try?

[@katbennettphoto]

It works best if you access via your mobile phone rather than desktop!

[@WosbaldoPalafox]

You nop need internet and telephone you need to enjoying la vida dios bendiga a Mexico 🇲🇽and his president and gavinete

Mexico is the best,

[@samcampese2066]

Visited Sayulita a few weeks ago. From what I had heard about the place, I was expecting much more than what it is today. The beach is indeed good, surfing is popular. However, the beach is overcrowded with chairs, tables etc.. The town itself is grubby, it is overrun with golf carts going every which way, and the beach on the north side smells of sewage and the sand littered with dog poop. It is most definitely NOT my idea of what an idyllic Mexican getaway is all about. It's past may have been a paradise cove. However, at the present time, Sayulita is drawing upon its past merits. Unless you are a surfer or a wannabe hippy, my advice is to steer clear of this place and find a much better place, of which there are many in Mexico.

[@concernedcitizen4933]

It was a paradise when I went 20 years ago. Sounds like it has been ruined.

[@Soleille777]

Where would you recommend then?

[@vszinke]

@samcampese2066 Where do you recommend to one who has never been to Mexico? We were planning to go here!

[@samcampese2066]

@@Soleille777 one place to consider is San Pedro, just north of Sayulita and reputably as great as Sayulita used to be during its heyday.

[@samcampese2066]

@@Soleille777 correction.....meant San Pancho (not San Pedro).

I think you’re fantastic 🌹

[@SunnyBinjola]

sounds like expensive

[@michellecartwright1120]

Great Video 👍 May I ask for help? Might any of you have encountered a woman who walks around selling her homemade big cookie covered Cocada. She has a big wooden tray with 4 different types of coconut flavors she wraps around a big cookie. Very Delicious! Might you know her contact info, Her Name, contact number. What day she sells them around the beach and beach front restaurants? I so appreciate it.

[@grilla1006]

Lol cause she went to the whitest cafe in the place…..

[@vegantastebetter]

65$US/ night is not what I call budget…

[@Jungle1048]

Cheap ass

[@michaelmarkunas]

The internet has ruined all the secret spots in Mexico. As soon as you say “thriving restaurant scene’ I know it is overrun with gringos…’

[@fredulrich6770]

and you are not a gringo?

[@ploweddog424]

I live in sayulita and it is actually full of Mexican visitors coming from close city’s like Guadalajara

[@donaldojulianuribe9288]

What does that have to do with anything? Sayulita has been ruined by American tourism, that’s a fact.

[@RRr-yl8zr]

😅 The prices she was quoting for most Everything were definitely to see if they can get gringos to pay that much! 😅

[@whynot8082]

Yes the ones that complain about gringos ruining an area contributed themselves to what they are complaining about. You will hear them say the same to Nationals who will chuckle, but not for the reason the “gringo” believes

[@Jeffcarr719]

You can get great weed here.

[@piknick111]

That town has changed too much and not the sleepy surf spot it used to be, now a tourist dump.

[@hectorcampos9244]

O well, that is happening all over Mexico...

[@RRr-yl8zr]

Dang you are quoting some High prices. ones to see if they can get the gringos to pay that much! 😅 OK Trying to see if they can get those crazy high prices from "stupid gringos" 😅 😉

[@javiruiz8365]

It’s annoying that you don’t even speak Spanish
