Question

Where should I plan to stay?

Sayulita does not have large resorts or hotels like other major Mexican towns. Accommodations include Airbnb style rentals and small boutique hotels. And there are plenty to choose from! If you don't know where to stay please reach out to the bride and groom for help finding the right type of accommodations for you. We recommend booking through the Sayulita Life , Airbnb, or VRBO websites. For hotels, its best to book directly on the hotel's website.

Question

How do I get to the wedding ceremony and reception?

Answer

Brisa Mar Palapa is on the top of a small hill overlooking Sayulita Beach. Parking will be limited so the best way to get there is by foot. If you have a golf cart you can shuttle your family and friends to the venue, then park in the main town and walk up. We will be running golf cart shuttles to the venue for those who need a lift. Please let us know if we should plan to pick you up.

Question

How do I get to Sayulita from the Puerto Vallera Airport?

Answer

The small town of Sayulita is 28 miles North of the airport, about a 45-60 minute ride You can fly directly into Puerto Vallerta International Airport Upon arrival, we recommend taking a taxi or pre-arranged shuttle to your rental in Sayulita. Uber and Lyft are not an option at the PVR airport Renting a car is not necessary, and you will have a hard time parking a car in Sayulita Once you get to Sayulita you can walk or rent a golf cart to get around To take a taxi from PVR Airport: Walk outside the airport and ask for the taxi line, line up Go the Thomas and Alison way: exit the airport and go left through the giant crowd of people. Stay on the sidewalk and head towards the main street. Take the footbridge over the busy Tepic - Puerto Vallarta road then flag down a taxi. It should cost $40-$70 USD, negotiate price and plan to pay in cash. To take a shuttle from PVR Airport: Book your shuttle online through a company with positive reviews on Trip Advisor or Sayulita Life websites. Our wedding planner recommends Diva Tours Transportation Services. You can contact Pedro Diaz at Tel 001 + 52 322 136 86 11 or email him at info@divatours.com

Question

Where can I get groceries?

Answer

Sayulita has small convenience stores that have the basics you will need- water, beer, tequila and snacks, eggs, bread, and cheese. Your hotel or Airbnb will come stocked with drinkable water. If a larger grocery shopping trip is in order, tell your taxi or shuttle driver to stop at the Mega grocery store on the way to Sayulita. It may cost a little extra, but your ride will wait for you to do any shopping you may need.

Question

Should I get Mexican pesos before I travel?

Answer

Yes! Your bank probably can order you some pesos before your trip. Give them a call and make the arrangements. This can take a week or two so do this in advance of traveling. If you cannot get pesos at your bank, there are bank-run ATMs at the airport in PVR and within the town of Sayulita. Bring some US dollars in cash so that you can tip and get from the airport in Puerto Vallerta to Sayulita. Just make sure you let your bank know that you will be out of the country so they don't shut off your ATM card. Most restaurants and shops will take credit cards and US dollars.

Question

Tell Me About Sayulita...

Answer

Sayulita may be known as one of Mexico’s best kept secrets, or it may not, depending on who you ask. If you ask the locals, they’ll say the secret’s been out for years, we beg to differ. Based on the size of the town, the benefits it has to offer including some of the best eateries to be found in Mexico, 300 days of sunshine a year, and best of all, warm water and waves all year long, Sayulita makes for great surfing! Known for its consistent river mouth surf break, roving surfers "discovered" Sayulita in the late 1960s with the construction of Mexican Highway 200. Today, Sayulita is a prosperous growing village of approximately 4,000 residents. Hailed as a popular off-the- beaten-path travel destination, Sayulita offers a variety of activities such as horseback riding, hiking, jungle canopy tours, snorkeling and fishing. Still a mecca for beginner surfers of all ages, the quaint town attracts upscale tourists with its numerous art galleries and restaurants as well. Sayulita has a curious eclectic quality, frequented by native Cora and Huichol peoples, traveling craftsmen as well as international tourists. Sayulita is the crown jewel in the newly designated "Riviera Nayarit", the coastal corridor from Litibu to San Blas. Its natural beauty and easy access to Puerto Vallarta have made Sayulita real estate some of the most sought after in all of Mexico. With a growing ecological awareness and stricter zoning enforcement, development is being regulated to help safeguard the environment and quality of life of the community.

Question

Is Sayulita "safe"?

Answer

We know safety ranks high in the list of priorities while traveling. The small, charming fishing village of Sayulita is just that – small and charming. Although it has grown in popularity on an international scale, Sayulita Mexico is still a quiet tranquil town with friendly faces eager to meet and greet visitors whose patronage is essential to the local economy. The homes, villas, and rental units are privately owned with no chain hotels which in turn facilitates a very strong sense of community in Sayulita. However being precautious is always a good rule. So pay close attention to your personal security and those around you.
