The entire package! What an outstanding vacation. Host is so awesome. Communication was excellent and fast. Highly recommend Villa Pelícanos! So much that we are already planning for 2027!
We enjoyed the most glorious Christmas week at Villa Pelicanos!!!!! The staff was truly outstanding and Theo was always on call and responded promptly to any questions we might have….we could not have been any more pleased with this gorgeous, spacious property!!!! What a treat!
We came back for the third time and so glad we did! Words can’t express the magic of Villa Pelicanos. This property is starting to feel like home and can’t wait to go back next year. Make sure you have Mariana and Nancy prepare all your meals. They are fabulous hosts and excellent cooks.
We could not have been more satisfied with our stay. The property is so gorgeous and well maintained. The manager and all other staff there were so helpful and friendly. We are just dying to go back.
Everything was perfect, beautiful home, Amazing staff beautiful home stunning views it’s truly a magical place. Nothing to say other than we were so well taken care of and everything was super organized!
We just returned from a 1 week stay at Villa Pelicanos...It was by far one of the 'BEST' weeks our family has ever enjoyed...From the moment we confirmed our reservation, to our communication with Theo, to our fantastic meals from Marianna and Nancy, to Javier's on site assistance to make sure our holiday was just 'Perfect'. We celebrated our 50th Wedding Anniversary with our full compliment of 18 in our immediate family. Our 8 Grandchildren, our Children and their spouses ALL were absolutely blown away by the beauty, cleanliness, the views, the rooms, and everything that makes this property stand out as one of the 'BEST' we have ever stayed. However it is the people of Villa Pelicanos that make the difference. They are warm, generous, genuine, and fun. Can't say enough about them and our magical experience in Sayulita for our 50..Celebration!
Beautiful Location, close to everything, great for families.
The villas are really beautiful with enough room for everyone to be comfortable. You can easily walk to the beach or in town. The staff was great and the food was really good. Theo was very responsive and great helping with arrangements. The property was very lush and well maintained, would definitely return.
Amazing property in great location - perfect for large family gathering or groups with separate sleeping accommodations and space. Theo and staff were very attentive. Overall a 10/10
Every corner you turn you'll be in awe. The place was beautiful, peaceful, and the service
from the house was wonderful and accommodating as well. Will be back!
Amazing villa. Perfect set up with the ability to have separate rooms for groups of people but then a large common area for socialising, meals and plenty of room for kids to play. Great pool with the most amazing view!
Beautiful location in a unique area of Mexico. We enjoyed the privacy of the beautiful property and the fun atmosphere of downtown Sayulita! The staff is amazing. they were able to help us arrange multiple events and prepared delicious authentic Mexican meals. We had a wonderful time
16 of us gathered at Villa Pelicanos to celebrate not 1 but 2 50th birthdays! Theo, Marianna, Nancy, Javier and Jessie made all our disorganization, organized! Thank you all in making our celebrations magical and memorable!
Wow! What a place!! Location is perfect and place exceeded all expectations. Perfect for kids and adults……and even 1 senior citizen.
Beaches were great and easily accessible but nothing beats sitting high on the hill at the pool overlooking everything!!
Would highly recommend this property plus any/all extras (meals, yoga, etc.).
My family and friends traveled from near and far to be with me to celebrate a milestone birthday. We stayed at Villa Pelicano's and we didn't have a single regret about our choice. The property is magnificent with views of the ocean from every single place you could stand. Mariana/Xavier/Theo and everyone else we encountered was amazing. Would definitely stay here again. Beautiful and relaxing. Exactly what my multigenerational group needed. Thank you, Villa Pelicanos!
We enjoyed our stay very much! Theo was great to communicate with and provided assistance in booking tours. The staff at the villa were wonderful, we hardly knew they were there. Mariana and Nancy prepared delicious meals for us! The property itself is wonderful and immaculate! The pool was perfect for all our kids. Each family having there own villa was great. We could be together but privacy at the same time! We highly recommend this property!
Absolutely perfect spot for a large group who also want some personal space
We booked this place for my husbands 50th birthday party. We had 2 different groups of 16 people. We changed our groups 1/2 way through our 10 day stay, and the communication and all the details that they organized went very smoothly. We hired a chef WHO WAS AWESIME AND ALSO HAF A PRIVATE YOGA INSTRUCTOR WHO WAS GREAT AS WELL, Honestly, everything went better then we could’ve hoped.
