Viajero Sayulita Hostel

I must say, I had such a wonderful experience at Vijero Sasyulita! I am a male senior retiree and stayed there for as a base camp whilst I was exploring eco villages in the area. I stayed in the private suite for the first days, then, as I realized, this was such a nice place, I wanted to stay for the duration of my two week trip, I changed to the dormitory in order to save money. It was just as pleasant! The staff were all quite accommodating and friendly. The regular activities were so fun! From karaoke, to 'beer pong' ( w/o beer BTW), to the trivia nights, to the baby turtle rescue program (which I did not attend but got to see the posts). Although, it would have been nice to see some folks closer to my age. It's a lot about twenty-something hard-body folks, more suitable to them. Oh well. Still, a wonderful place to stay! The town has much to offer with fine cuisine.

I had an amazing time staying here! The hosts—Paola, Esteban, and Nico—are incredible. They truly bring people together and create a fun, welcoming atmosphere. Pros: The pool and rooftop pool are great for relaxing and socializing. Fantastic social atmosphere with daily meet-ups and plenty of tours available. The hosts go above and beyond to make sure everyone has a great time—I can’t say enough good things about them! Cons: Some showers have inconsistent temperatures. Mine was almost too hot, but that’s to be expected in a hostel. The Marietas Islands tour had an unexpected extra fee ($180) at the marina due to missing inclusions, plus the standard $33 port fee. It’s worth double-checking exactly what’s included in your tour package beforehand, as I met others who had the same issue. That said, the tour itself was worth it! Personal Experience: Unfortunately, I had a negative encounter with another guest, which affected my experience. A girl named “H” spread rumors about me, made negative comments about my age and lifestyle, and even warned others against me. I was nothing but kind, so it was disheartening to feel excluded. This led me to withdraw from social events, as I felt uncomfortable being mocked. It was disappointing that even a staff member seemed to change their attitude toward me, making me feel unwelcome at times. Despite this, I still had an overall great stay thanks to the incredible hosts, the fun atmosphere, and the social aspect of the hostel. I’d still recommend this place, just be mindful of group dynamics.

Super sick time there. Never been to mexico and my 2nd time to a hostel. The atmosphere was really chill, inviting and a great place to meet people from around the world. Would highly recommend especially for a solo traveler to make friends!

front desk only responds sometimes to select people. the bathrooms smelled so moldy and they don’t care about how loud people are at night. I’ve heard multiple people complain but nothing being done. the front desk is pretty nice just not very helpful

with better and more signage some guests might be encouraged to clean up after themselves - some guests need to be reminded to be considerate of others especially in the shared spaces
