Casa Makawe ONLY ADULTS

Pool area was super Dirty (lot of bird droppings, also in the pool was a dead bird). We didn’t use the pool for the hole stay. Even after we asked to clean the pool it still felt a bit unhygienic. Actually planned to stay a second time during our trip in this place, however we cancelled the second stay.

Our room/apartment was fantastic - extremely well set out with everything you would need. Beautiful view over Sayulita. Loved the hammock, lounges etc, air-con worked great. Fantastic location. Restaurant downstairs was good but for breakfast make sure you check out Yah Yah's up the road. Best I ever had. Lots of good info provided by signs in room, check in video etc.

Possibly just the time of year we were here (July), but just a warning that the pool water in summer is HOT. It really was not useable after maybe 10am, like being in a warm bath, and given the heat outside, was not quite the experience we were planning on having (we specifically booked here for the pool area). Also the pool area seemed a bit neglected, no music playing, no vibe. The shower also has terrible pressure. Keep in mind there is no included cleaning service, even for 8 night stay (though we requested, and got a free change of sheets/towels which was much appreciated). I think if you look at this like an Air BnB you will understand - definitely not a hotel.

Location is super close to the plaza and everything the heart of Sayulita has to offer. Rooftop pool is great! Apartments have everything you need for an enjoyable stay! Comfortable bed and pull out couch for a good nights sleep. Quiet inside at night with doors and windows closed. Strong AC. Our bathroom light went out during our stay and it was fixed quickly. Keyless entry felt safe and secure.

Pool and pool area was dirty and not tended to by staff. Having a gym or fitness area would be a great addition. Bathroom toiletries were watered down and in old mislabeled bottles.

The room was great. I like that it has complete kitchen.

Needed 2 extra pillows. The pillows were too soft and flat. The air condition light was too bright. The shower head was too high and water splash everywhere.

Very well located to everything.

Location was amazing

Confused on how the pool bar worked?? Self service or order only??

Amazing place to stay, we loved everything! The apartment is comfortable, spacious with a great kitchen, the filtered drinking water tap was a bonus. Loved the full width sliding doors that open the whole room onto a big balcony, gorgeous lush views and lots of sunshine. Definitely worth paying a little extra for the apartment over the studios. The location was perfect, a few mins walk to the beach or the lively main square, yet Casa Makawe feels like an oasis away from it all. A little store across the street stocks essentials, and lots of bars and restaurants around. Everything is within walking distance. We felt really safe at this location and the staff went above and beyond for all the guests. The highlight is the rooftop pool of course! We spent many happy hours up there. Loved how it is adults only, it meant the pool terrace was super relaxing and chilled. We will be back!

Nothing! Only that we had to leave 😅

Great place to stay in Sayulita. We wish we could have stayed longer. Great location and the room was large and comfortable. The rooftop pool was a nice bonus.

Great location

Nothing

The location is perfect, on a pretty cobblestone street and just a short walk to the beach, the plaza, and lots of great cafés and bars, but still peaceful and quiet. Everything was very clean and well maintained. We enjoyed the rooftop pool and bar; it was a relaxing place to hang out and had a great view over the town. The photos are accurate—the amenities look just like what’s advertised.

Great location close to town but away from the noise. Roof top Pool was a great spot to hang out. Room as large and spacious for my length of stay,

Only comment would be that for the price of the room I would expect the cleaning to be included and catered for. I stayed for 3 weeks so would probably expect to have a once per week inclusion.

la piscine sur le toit, le petit déjeuner

petit lit trop ferme à mon goût

I liked the location. Very close to town center yet completely insulated from any of the noise. The rooftop pool was great. The staff were fantastic. Lalo and Kevin were so kind and helpful. All the restaurant staff was fantastic. Check in and out was super easy. Will definitely stay again.

No complaints at all.

Property manager (Aaron) was responsive. Great location and good value for price. Spacious rooms.

Kitchen could have been better stocked - very few dishes and flatware. Pool was a bit dirty.

Very healthy and amazing

If it was free

This place is awesome! Rooms are very large, awesome infinity rooftop pool and 3 min walk from downtown area. Highly recommend.

Really cool room. Lots of wild lofe outside. Your balcony. I saw half a dozen iguanas in the tree right below our balcony. The A/C was amazing.Helps in the Mexican heat.

La ubicación es muy céntrica por lo que la playa está muy cerca. Se puede descansar agusto, no hay ruidos en el exterior. La cama y las almohadas son muy cómodas. La habitación es muy espaciosa. Cuenta con alberca en el último piso, tiene una vista hermosa.

Todo estuvo muy bien, solamente la regadera no contaba con agua caliente para bañarse.

Good size unit considering it is a studio. Great view from the balcony. Nice touch with roof top pool.

Absolutely LOVED this place - I’ve been to Sayulita 5 times and this might be my favorite. Perfect location, awesome pool, and loved the room. The one & only thing that was not good —shower had ZERO water pressure…at least it was hot water though I guess 😉

Nice little studio with everything you need.

Slight smell of damp coming from the AC.

Great small hotel. Perfect for an easy low-key get-a-way. Great location and easy to downtown Sayulita. Well equipped and quiet!

Very comfortable room, beautiful rooftop pool, and the restaurant downstairs, Sur 38, is outstanding.

location

didn't really see any staff to order f&b at the rooftop

The location was great and the rooftop pool

The only time we ever saw a staff member was checking in. Room cleaning was only for a price, we were there 4 nights and couldn't even get fresh towels (the ones we got smelled of mildew). There was no cleaning supplies in the room either. The photos way over sold it, for the same price we stayed at Casa Anjali and it was a dream (highly recommend that instead, and probably most other options). Our room was on the first floor and the "terrace" felt like a dungeon of concrete walls with no view, sun, and nothing dried. Bed was not comfortable and there was only 2 lumpy pillows. The room smelled musky which makes sense since there is almost no airflow (due to previous mentioned concrete patio). There is no staff ever at the rooftop bar (like in the photos), only an option to order from the restaurant downstairs which is quite expensive. Definitely not worth the price we paid.

Beautiful property/room and excellent location. Entrance isn’t completely obviously (it’s right beside the restaurant entry door). Great pool too!

The location was great! Centrally located but quiet. Walkable to everything in town and beach.

Huge room and an awesome rooftop pool! Close to the beach and all the action in downtown Sayulita. Having the Sur38 pool service is also a nice treat!

Great location and the pool is really nice

The windows in our room were both essentially interior fencing, one window by the interior stairs and the other faces “outside” but a wall, the balcony is essentially useless and neighbors can see into our room from their balcony

Location was great! Away from the busy areas, but easy to walk to. Roof top pool has a great view! Room was large, bed was comfortable, fully stocked kitchen. Sur 38 was delicious, was really nice to order room service to our room and the pool. Would stay again!

Shower had low water pressure, fan lights turned on randomly throughout the night.

The location of the property was great, you far enough away from the square so you can have a quiet night and only a block from the beach.

Upon arrival after our first nights sleep we noticed our bedding was dirty. At first I thought it was stained then I used a little soap and water on the sheet and washed out the blood or whatever it was on our sheets. There was also crust black stuff on our bedspread. The hotel charges for your room to be cleaned and your towels to be changed out so luckily we could take our stuff to our friend’s place to be laundered. You can’t dry your towels after you outside because the sun never hits your balcony to get them dry. The dampness in the air keeps the towels damp and then they stink after the first use. Again thank goodness for our friends place. We had friends staying at another location that had a dryer so we would use that to dry or towels. We had our bedding washed there as well after we realized it was dirty. However you wouldn’t expect that when you are paying hundreds of dollars a night for your stay. Our final straw was the dead cockroaches in the hallway - we paid over 2k for 8 nights I would not expect there to be dirty bedding extra charge for towels and cleaning as well as bugs. We are well travel and unfortunately were extremely disappointed in our stay.

The pool and the location were the best part!

Well stocked, beach towels, cooking supplies… having a few coffee packets would have need nice. Room was very spacious, clean. Area was quiet too and just a few minutes to town center and beach

We had a great stay

We would prefer a small table & chairs,stools are to high & uncomfortable for eating .Hot water at the kitchen sink,other places we stayed had hot water at kitchen & long stays cleaning services should be free once a week..We were there 3 weeks. Our stay was wonderful @ the Casa Makawe in the large king bedroom with large front balcony very clean. Would definitely recommend a stay @ the Casa Makawe..

Good stay. A mistake with the almost double charge. But found and taken care of. Hot water went off on first and last day. Turned back on right away. Fast replies.

The pool was quite nice - a little smaller than photos depicted but a nice temperature Sun deck was also quite nice. Shower was good.. Bed was comfortable but small.

Room was not very clean. Bedding was very creased and i wondered if it was actually freshly laundered. We were only given 2 bath towels for 6 day stay and they were always damp after 1st use. It was humid and impossible to dry anything. In fact the room smelt musty and moldy after day 3. Extra towels and housekeeping was an extra charge which we felt was very unfair after paying $230.00 CAD per night. Kitchenette sink had no hot running water. We had to boil a kettle to wash dishes. Bed was only a double when booking info said it was a queen. Outdoor patio was extremely small with high walls 4 levels in total on all sides so very little light or air flow. A drying rack was supplied but without air flow nothing dried. It was such a small area that with rack extended their was little room for the 2 chairs.

Host contacted us through Whatsapp as we landed at the airport. Great communication. There is no reception but a restaurant next door that is owned by the same people. Upon arrival host met us outside, showed us where to park and showed us the room which has a coded entry. Room was spacious and clean. Nice little kitchenette. Rooftop pool was great for late afternoon swims. Very convenient location with only a 3 minute walk into town and the beach.

Great just. Juan. Sur38 restaurant, great staff food and drinks downstairs. Easy walk to everywhere. We’ll be back.

The room was great, everything was essentially as pictured and the building was quiet. Everyone was friendly and the location was perfect!

A couple bugs around the room (to be expected in Mexico), no kitchen garbage can and only one set of towels. I'm sure we could have requested more but without a front desk it wasn't very clear how to contact our host and request things.

Awesome large room with hammock in, balcony, beautiful rooftop pool ! Loved it!

Perfect location, full equipped kitchen, really charming, and the pool is such a nice treat. I look forward to return soon!

Overall we liked it very much. However, the first time we entered the room it had an unpleasant odor and was dark. Over time we got used to it, but perhaps something to work with. It has everything we needed. The owner was very nice and we he accommodated us with an inflatable mattress! We really liked the restaurant downstairs, The waiters who work there are very nice, but you have to wait very, very long for the food! It is close to the center and the beach! We will definitely come back and stay in the same place!

Great cafe downstairs, nice view on rooftop, quiet and comfy room.

Small things could make this hotel go from good to great like, small rips in bathroom mozzie net, pool towels were thin&old and white stripes had turned grey, tile damage to pool.

We loved the well equipped kitchen. The bed was comfy/but should have a headboard, the pool was great - late sun and sunset. The bathroom is nice, but needs more hooks or towel racks. We booked the hotel because I wanted the adults only - but of course one still has noise from outside, maybe a cute sign reminding to be quiet at night in the open stairway/hallways as the concrete enhances the noise. There is a nice vibe to the hotel, and it is great to have an elevator for luggage. Very close to beach and town and endless great restaurants.

The furniture is quite uncomfortable, I think they would do great to remove at least one of those big chairs on the patio - too big, (put it in the hallway/landings) and replace the one chair with something a bit smaller and comfortable. The inside area should have two comfortable chairs and a regular sized small dining table-instead of the bar-table and chairs. There should be more hooks everywhere or a rack (or pull out line) of some kind on the patio- or bathroom, it was impossible to dry towels and bathing suits. The hammock should have one of the side hooks open so one could close/detach. The shower head needs extending or changing, I had to fill a bottle of water to wash hair, the bathroom vanity is loose and wobbly. The price is on the higher side compared to the quality/comfort. Would not take much to improve it.

Lots of room in the apartment. Great bathroom and kitchen area. Large fridge. Pool area was great. Location was amazing and cafe downstairs served great food. Staff were super friendly.

Nothing! It was exactly what we were looking for.

Location was good, the restaurant staff was great providing the breakfast included with the stay

No hot water in the shower, we inquired and the answer was that that issue never happened before, but nothing was done to remedy the problem

I had an amazing stay at Aaron's Resort I would highly suggest it to anyone!

Very clean, no bugs

Not super aesthetically pleasing but got job done

Location

Good spot

Great room and rooftop pool

Great location, great studio, amazing breakfast at Sur38! The room has everything you need and the pool is AMAZING. Even though there is no reception- the host was super helfpul and easy to get a hold of! 10/10

Casa Makawe was absolutely perfect for our stay in Sayulita! -Communication/customer service: Amazing! The host was fantastic about communicating prior to our arrival, during our stay, and after we left. He was incredibly kind and honest! (We accidentally left a large sum of cash behind in our room and didn't realize it until after we were on our way back to the states. The host went above and beyond to ensure we got our money back. You don't find this level of honesty and customer service often and we are so incredibly appreciative!) - Location: Ideal - very close walking distance to the beach, town square and all the restaurants/shops but just far enough away to be nice and quiet at night. There is a little shop for necessities right by Casa Makawe, along with two fantastic restaurants (Sur 38 and Yay Yay Sayulita Cafe). - Accommodations: Just right! We stayed in room 301. The room was wonderful and as pictured in the photos. It's a large room with two balconies facing different directions. There are two AC units to keep the room cool, as well as 3 ceiling fans. The bed and pillows were very comfortable. The shower is huge with a rainfall shower head and plenty of hot water. The kitchen area has everything needed to cook a meal, and the sink has a filtered water tap for drinking water that we drank without any issues. There's also a pitcher provided to fill and keep in the fridge. Coffee maker is a drip coffee maker (not k-cup) in case you're bringing your own coffee/filters. We highly recommend Casa Makawe and look forward to staying there in the future!

Everything was wonderful!

Really fantastic location, amazing pool grade vibe. Food at the restaurant is out of this world. Although there is an extra charge, if you’re having dinner, you should definitely do it.

I wanted a view, that is the only requirement that they was hoping for. There is definitely a view at the pool, the rooms are spacious and lovely come on, but no view within the room that I booked.

The location is great and being able to relax at the pool with restaurant service at the end of the day was amazing!

No complaints, everything was great.

Service was great

Location breakfast was good

No view no staff

Very clean Great restaurant linked next door Kitchen in room is well equipped Rooftop pool is as expected

Nothing

What a find! Tucked into an Area close to where I normally stay but, sooo much quieter. The rooftop infinity pool? Bones! And then, the Restaurant on the Ground Level, Sur38…well now, words can barely describe this hidden gem. The food quality and variety of this Tapa style place, I just wish I could have been there long enough to try everything. I will return, and often!

Nothing!

The staff were warm and accommodating. Our room was spacious, clean, and bright! The food served from the restaurant in room was delicious - we samples all of their desserts and recommend them all!

Ordering breakfast and letting them know in advance of our time schedule did not help - it took quite awhile for our food to arrive, so we asked to switch to take out/to go instead, which they did accommodate. We walked quickly to ensure that we made it to our pickup on time and then only had a few minutes so if possible, I would request that their kitchen open earlier to accommodate guest activities that begin early morning such as ours (which was a day trip to La Isla Marieta).

The room was extremely nice, clean and air conditioned. The unit had a beautiful view that overlooked the town and even had a hammock. The property manager was extremely personable and was able to arrange atv rentals for us and even helped up accommodate a late checkout because of a late flight home the next day. There was an excellent restaurant on the ground floor called SUR38 with amazing breakfast and dinner I highly recommend. The property was walking distance to the beach and all the town amenities which is a huge plus to us…. Oh the roof top pool was great with amazing views of the town!

The rooms, pool area, restaurant

The location was loud, busy street noise. Closing the restaurant on Wednesdays, let people know this in advance and offer other options prior to arrival.

Roof top pool, complimentary breakfast

Bed was extremely uncomfortable, no soap, shampoo . No front desk checkin . Hard to find any kind of staff. They want to charge for fresh towels. No house keeping

Location, restaurant downstairs, adults only, pool

Lack of consistent hot water in shower

Location and pool are awesome!

Wish you could flush toilet paper.

Great Location. Very friendly and helpful staff. Easy access to building, room, pool. Off street parking was available though you don't really need a car - more like a golf cart or 4 wheeler would be approrpriate

There were occasionally off smells in the unit, due to the water traps drying up - so we needed to run water in all the drains frequently to prevent it, but this is pretty usual for Sayulita.

The Suites with the pull out couch are large and comfortable. The room had everything we needed. It was in a perfect location. Quiet but still close! The traditional breakfast was delicious.

Great resting point of my journey! Juan was quick to respond to any questions, roof top pool was amazing!! Room was comfy and had all the little amenities needed. People were lovely who stayed there and the restaurant was v good that was attached!

Juan is the best! You won’t be disappointed in this property!

The location of the building was very good. Far enough away not to be noisy but close enough to the main areas with restaurants, bars etc... We wound up changing rooms after 7 nights to a larger, brighter room facing the street. It was great! lots of space, a couch, well-appointed kitchenette. The rooftop area with infinity pool and chaises was great! The breakfast was in the restaurant at the bottom of the building. It was very good. The staff of the building and the restaurant were very responsive!

Our original Queen room was quite dark as the balcony faced the back and the only window faced the inside staircase. As we were there for 13 nights, we changed after 7 nights to a larger, brighter King room and it was literally night and day! We liked the fact that the rooms had a purified water spout, however, we didn't like that there was no hot water in the kitchen sink. We had to wash our dishes in the bathroom sink if we wanted hot water or settle for a tepid wash in the kitchen, which didn't feel very hygienic. The "included breakfast" was only up to a certain amount of pesos. If what we chose exceeded that amount, we had to pay extra. So essentially, one of us would have to forgo a hot beverage if we wanted to stay within the allotment.

Rooftop pool was incredible and location is great for walking anywhere in Sayulita.
