The Problem with Sayulita, Mexico...

[@kinetickennons]

Although Sayulita is not exactly a hidden gem, we have really come to embrace the laidback atmosphere here. Sure it gets busy, but I think the lack of huge condo buildings, grocery stores, etc. really makes it feel like a pueblo/village compared to Bucerias or Vallarta. What other beach towns in Mexico do you think we'd like that are on the small (think village) side?

[@davidnarain8783]

San Pancho is my fav ❤

[@Xmaslightsallyear]

San Pancho (San Francisco) is much cleaner, much greener, less chaotic, and less pretentiously hip. Also less brazen drug use. Also, almost all real estate titles in San Pancho were privatized (i.e. regularized) years ago. Few if any risky properties still with ejido papers. (Soy 25 year Nuevo Vallarta and Bucerias resident but now living in Playa del Carmen.)

[@Xmaslightsallyear]

My three favorite places are Playa del Carmen, Munich and Garmisch. Enjoyed your European videos.

[@tomv4145]

Todos Santos Baja Sur I might be in a minority, but I wasnt to impressed with the restaurants in Sahualita. Do like Sahualita Public House for drinks

[@lorisanchez9491]

Hard to answer depending on what your interests are within that small community. There are plenty of small beach towns that are “suburbs” of the bigger tourist areas giving you the benefits of both. Pie de la Cuesta is one of those small village feels just outside of Acapulco that I initially liked….as a tourist. As a resident, I prefer being closer to a grocery store where I can walk with my bag lady cart and not struggle with grocery bags on a bus. I have some fellow Mexico traveler friends that merely got on a bus and cruised down the Hwy 200, stopping where they liked. Found some hidden gems that nobody knows about that way. My suggestion is to get out your map and do some exploring until you find what feels like home to you. Can’t wait to see where you are going to travel to next :)

[@lagunastevest4]

The lady at that little store where you bought the beans is SUPER nice. We shopped or chatted with her almost everyday for the month of February when we were there. Glad to see you're enjoying!

[@JazzyJ5G]

What a coincidence! It must be the algorithm, as I happened to watch a video earlier this morning from a solo female traveler who just moved to Sayulita. I was pleasantly surprised to see that it is near Vallarta. Seems like it has a nice small town vibe and beaches.

[@nalleliconga]

I'm so happy you're back in Mexico

[@billyd647]

Great to see you back in Mexico 🎉 Interesting comparisons with the cost of food. Very informative 😊

[@AndyCleveland]

I found this regarding Cap'n Crunch not having his face shown in Mexico: Captain Crunch is not openly sold here in México, you can only get it at more exclusive supermarket as imported product. Since some years ago, it's required to put a sign on products with high levels of sugar, carbs, sodio, etc. Indicating the same It's also not allowed to put advertising targeted to minors in those products, so that's why the captain is hidden

[@kinetickennons]

WHAT?! wow. this is fascinating!

[@AndyCleveland]

I'm glad I could be of service to you and help you uncover some of the idiosyncracies of Mexico. 😂😂😂

[@helobsidiana5138]

Exactly, that's a relatively recent law.

[@emanuelscmorales9625]

I'm having fun just by watching you guys thanks for the videos. Be safe out there.

[@avalonmist254]

We are in the Decembre district in Vallarta thinking of checking out Sayulita ...so thankful for your videos that got me here!

[@edrcarro]

You are exactly right about Sayulita. I hope to visit again in May. I will be staying Bucerias but will drive to Sayulita.

[@cwsnowpro1959]

You shop at La Comer on a budget? Across the he lot is Mega!

[@pepawspostings9231]

So glad you are back in Mexico where we first started to watch your videos. I enjoy these much more than your world traveling ones.😊

[@PriorityFocused]

Mexico's not allowed to have "characters" on their junk food. No Captain Crunch, no Nesquik Bunny (although I've noticed some exceptions to the rule...)

[@PriorityFocused]

@@RedroomStudios I think the hope is more for the next generation, not the current ones... but I like the lack of "billboards" if that makes sense... feels less cluttered.

[@lewizzrocks]

Lol Mexico trying too hard to be woke lately. If they were serious about their health issues they would ban Coca Cola.

[@aboch6628]

@@sleepybear7642 Yes, that’s exactly why! It’s obviously part of the marketing and I totally support its ban. Behind this campaign, or part of, is the fact that Mexico is the second country in the world with the highest levels of obesity, only after the USA, if I’m not mistaken, so they’re trying to mitigate this problem. They’ve also banned junk food being sold/fed to students in schools.

[@jonathanramos8414]

​@@aboch6628 yeah Mexico is a pretty chunky looking country lol. Mexican cuisine alone is pretty fattening. Lots of grease. On top of that with American fast food brands in the country. So it gets both worlds

[@fuetball]

You can find many items in Sayulita. La Comer has much more selections but also very expensive. Only go there if you need items not found in Sayulita.

[@at9362]

Excellent vid, so glad you're back! While I Love Sayulita, San Pancho (San Fransisco) just up a short way is more my pace.. Can't wait to get back down there!

[@FlyingCameraGuy]

Wow Hillary, I'm impressed with your quick popup.

[@cindyk3076]

I didn't realize that Sayulita was that small, very cool! I saw another video that said no cartoon characters on cereal boxes as Guillermo Carrillo said. If you don't have to shop all that often, I guess it's not too bad having to go to Bucerias. Glad you are relaxing and enjoying!

[@fersleal9555]

I do my groceries every two weeks because I don't have a lot of time to go shopping. It works out fine because I save time and money. Plan your menu ahead of time

[@brianwest1501]

I was in La Comer and a frozen pizza was $12 US. Here in Virginia it's like $7. Mexico is not that great on prices. La Comer is expensive. Go a bit further to Walmart. Much better on the wallet.

[@waynevandermeer3050]

BTW you also don’t want to sit at the back of the bus also. I learned that the hard way. Also I liked going to LaComer and sitting for a bit in the coffee shop. They give you two little cookies with your coffee. Enjoy

[@arturgrabczewski3816]

We were in Sayulita about 6 years ago. We had high expectations but we found the place to be overrated, expensive and really smelly. Have they fixed the sewage problem? It was actually stinky, not smelly. People were swimming in the Ocean not realizing a large sewage was only a hundred meters away from them. I hope they managed to sort it out.. I remember lots of people complained about being seriously sick after swimming in Sayulita back then

[@brucelipnickas3968]

I am a Polish/Lithuanian USA citizen,, i want another country,, I plan on visiting Krakow ,, but mexico sounds like a good option,, whats your opinion?

My wife and I joke that La Comer is the Whole Foods of Mexico.

[@kokohead333]

Like 'Whole Foods' but affordable!

[@NarsilRenewed]

Re. Capt.Crunch: in Mexico, you are not allowed to put cute little mascots on anything that sells or advertizes to kids.

[@xsportingx79]

Did you notice the two small dogs that were the "Gringo Alarm"? Bark Bark! "Here come Gringos to ask for stuff Mexico doesn't sell! No, we don't have any Dr Pepper!"

We are in PDC right beside a mega and shop everyday bc we have 3 kids and they don’t eat out with us at the cheap taquerias. We buy a lot of mangoes + choc milk which are heavy 😂I want to go other places like Huatulco or P.Escondido but I see how convenient having a grocery store is, but still walking dist to beach!

[@Brendan2Alexander]

Visited Sayulita once and seemed like a crap-hole. Nearby San Pancho seemed nice.

[@dannyandrade8506]

Why you didn't choose San pancho? Is not it better?

Seems a Michelada is a copy of a Canadian Caesar....that's OK but you gotta use "Mott's Clamato" A Caesar is a cocktail created and consumed primarily in Canada. It typically contains vodka, tomato juice and clam broth, hot sauce, and Worcestershire sauce, and is served with ice in a large, celery salt-rimmed glass, typically garnished with a stalk of celery and wedge of lime.

[@kinetickennons]

sounds like a bloody mary! haha.

[@questionmark4348]

@@kinetickennons Except Bloody Mary uses only tomato juice FWIW The Caesar was invented in 1969 by restaurant manager Walter Chell of the Calgary Inn (today the Westin Hotel) in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. He devised the cocktail after being tasked to create a signature drink for the Calgary Inn's new Italian restaurant. But what ever, they are all good on a hot day around the pool.
