3BR Condo in Nuevo Vallarta

Fernanda

Excellent, 4 weeks ago

A pleasant, comfortable place. It's a spacious place and met all my expectations.

Host Response

Thank you for your review! We're very glad to hear that the space met your expectations and that you felt comfortable. We look forward to welcoming you back to Attalea 101 soon. — John & Shawn

Actually, the house is better than in the photos. It has everything you need to spend a few very pleasant days. The hosts were very accessible, and the bonus of the immediate response to grant my husband easy access to the beautiful pool on the terrace was great. Thank you 🙏🏻. He was able to enjoy it without any hassle, and they were always very attentive with everything. We will definitely be back soon. ☺️

Everything was excellent. It was nice. If I came back, I would rent the apartment again.

Host Response

Karla, thank you very much for your kind words. It means a lot to us that you say you thought everything was nice and that you would rent the apartment again if you come back to the area. That's exactly the feeling we want each guest to take away from Attalea 101. We're glad to hear you loved your stay from start to finish. If your plans bring you back here, we will be happy to welcome you again. Warm regards, John & Shawn

The photos don't do it justice. An impeccable accommodation with wonderful views. Everything was excellent. I would definitely come back a thousand times. The pool area is very nice and has everything you need to have an incredible time.

Host Response

What a joy to read this! We're delighted that the views and the pool area exceeded your expectations. You'll be welcome back as many times as you want. — John & Shawn

We had an amazing stay in Sayulita! The hosts were incredibly welcoming, responsive, and made sure everything was perfect from check-in to check-out. The property was spotless, comfortable, and in a great location to enjoy everything Sayulita has to offer. We truly felt at home and would highly recommend staying here to anyone visiting the area. We would definitely come back!

Host Response

Liana, thank you so much — hearing that you felt truly welcomed and at home is exactly what we hope for every guest. We'd love to have you back in Sayulita anytime! — John & Shawn

Can't express enough how beautiful and peaceful this place is. I have never felt so welcoming and at peace. Everything you need to spend time with your loved ones is here. Stress free, quiet area, beautiful view and loving condo with plenty of space. I now understand why this place has returning clients. I soon will be returning back!!!!! Thank you J&S

Host Response

Elia, your message genuinely moved us — knowing you felt so peaceful and at home with your family means everything. We're working on the elevator situation and hope to have better news by your next visit. We can't wait to welcome you and your daughter back to Sayulita! — John & Shawn

Beautiful place.....we absolutely loved it. Shawn and John were wonderful to work with and made sure we had all of the information needed. They were very responsive when I had questions and they provided us with recommendations on places to visit and eat before we even thought to ask! 5+ stars. Made my daughters wedding and our trip to Mexico stress free, thank you!!

Host Response

Macey, what a special occasion — congratulations on your daughter's wedding! We're so glad we could help make the trip to Mexico feel easy and stress-free. That means the world to us. We'd love to host you again in Sayulita! — John & Shawn

the Airbnb was amazing, we enjoyed the place so much, especially the view from the infinity pool on the top floor, close to town and perfect for us to walk around. I would suggest to anyone to book this place for a relaxing getaway. the hosts were quick in replying to questions and offering suggestions on what to do or where to go for activities.

Host Response

Thank you, Art — we’re glad you enjoyed the infinity pool view and that our suggestions were helpful. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d love to welcome you back to our condominium for another relaxing getaway.

I went with a group of friends, and we were all pleasantly surprised by the place. You can tell it was designed with great taste; they thought of everything, and it is very well-equipped and beautiful.

Host Response

What a joy to read this! We love it when a group of friends leaves with that feeling that everything was thought out — that's why we designed it. We hope that Sayulita has treated you well and that you will come back soon. We look forward to seeing you here! — John & Shawn

It's a 100% recommended place; everything works perfectly, absolutely everything was in perfect condition, and I have to say that it's the only place I've visited so far with such excellent kitchen and house amenities. If we come back, it will definitely be here.

Host Response

Thank you so much for your very generous words! We were very happy to be able to help you with the directions for getting here, especially with the unexpected street closure — we want the experience to start well from the moment you arrive. We are delighted that the kitchen was so much to the family's liking. We take great care with the equipment to make you feel at home. We hope to welcome you back to Sayulita soon! — John & Shawn

We had an excellent time at this AirBnb staying with my parents and our two kids. The apartment itself is very elegant and has everything one might need. The rooftop pool is great for kids & adults. John & Shawn were fabulous hosts - very responsive, very kind.

Host Response

Multi-generational trips are some of our favorites, and hearing that everyone from the little ones to the grandparents enjoyed the rooftop pool made our day. We're glad the apartment had everything you needed and that you felt well taken care of throughout your stay. We hope to welcome your whole crew back to Sayulita again soon! — John & Shawn

We loved our stay and we’ll be back. This is one of the best AirBnB’s we’ve ever stayed at. It’s beautiful. The unit was incredible, very modern and such amazing decor and design. The beds and pillows were like staying at a 5 star hotel. So comfy. We really appreciated the unlimited drinking water, ample towels, beach chairs and all of the thoughtful inclusions and amenities. We felt incredibly safe and at home. It’s a very quiet and peaceful part of Sayulita. Can’t wait to return!

Host Response

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, Creighton. We’re so glad our condominium felt like a home-away-from-home and that you enjoyed the modern design and thoughtful amenities. We look forward to hosting you again soon!

John & Shawn’s place was exactly as described—if not better. The home is beautiful, perched on a hill with incredible ocean views from the pool and rooftop. It was spotless and thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed, including beach chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, and Turkish towels. Every detail felt intentional. The beds were new and very comfortable, and the towels were plush and fresh. The location was perfect—peaceful and away from late-night noise, yet an easy walk to the beach, restaurants, and great breakfast spots. Shawn’s recommendations for restaurants, beaches, groceries, and golf cart rentals were spot on and made our stay even better. Communication was excellent. They even had beach toys delivered for our kids and accommodated an early arrival, which we really appreciated. Above and beyond. A perfect home with outstanding hosts—ideal for making lasting family memories.

Host Response

We’re so glad our condominium hit the mark and helped make your family getaway memorable. Thank you for highlighting the little extras—your kind words motivate us to keep refining every detail. Hope to welcome you back soon!

We had a lovely stay here. They did a beautiful job with the decor and the space is really nicely kept. The rooftop pool is absolutely stunning. We love the North side of Sayulita for its peaceful, quiet vibes. The place is easily walkable to everywhere, but we always get golf carts anyway, which does just make it easier. The only thing I will say about this place, which really wasn’t an issue for us, but could potentially be for someone else, is that there is almost zero privacy in the bathrooms. The doors are slatted barn doors, so provide no privacy and the door to the toilet itself is only partially frosted a there’s no latch or anything. Again, this really wasn’t a big deal for our group, but a few jokes were made and I could see it potentially being an issue for a specific type of group, so best to know that. Overall, this is most definitely a 5-star stay and was perfect for our family of 5 for the week!

Host Response

Thank you, Jenn — we’re so glad our condominium and rooftop pool were a great fit for your week in Sayulita. We appreciate your thoughtful note about areas to improve and will work on them to make future stays even better. Hope to welcome you back soon! — John & Shawn

Shawn was attentive from the start. The house is amazing, it made us feel very comfortable and at home. Everything is just like the photos! It's impeccable and they have everything you need to spend a few super great days! We didn't want to leave… We'll definitely be back! :)

Host Response

Thank you, Daniela, for the wonderful review and for treating our condominium like your own home. We’re delighted you found everything just as pictured and felt so comfortable, and we can’t wait to welcome you back next time!

Excellent accommodation. Shawn and John were very attentive hosts and were always attentive to anything we needed. The place is on a very quiet street, just a few minutes' walk from downtown Sayulita, a very pleasant walk. The accommodation is in perfect condition, it is very nice and comfortable. The pool on the terrace is practically private, as it is shared with very few apartments; during our stay we always had it just for ourselves. We would definitely come back.

Host Response

Thanks so much for the lovely review, Ibai — we’re glad you enjoyed your stay and found the rooftop pool and location relaxing. We’d be happy to host you again anytime at our condominium; safe travels and we look forward to your return.

Really lovely condo, clean, comfortable and well appointed. The location is great since it's not too far from downtown and actually not much of a hill coming from that direction. It is a huge hill if you access from the entrance to Sayulita using Google Maps, so easiest to come from downtown. It's a really lovely spot and they're great hosts, I recommend this place.

Host Response

We really appreciate you taking the time to review your stay — we’re glad you found our condominium comfortable and well-appointed. Thanks for the note about arrival, and we’d love to host you again. — John & Shawn

We had an amazing stay at this home in Sayulita. John & Shawn were truly exceptional hosts — incredibly responsive, thoughtful, and accommodating with everything we reached out about. It genuinely felt like they cared about our comfort, safety, and overall experience, which made a huge difference. The home itself is absolutely gorgeous and very spacious. The kitchen and living areas are beautiful and well laid out, the outdoor deck and patio are perfect for relaxing, and the rooftop space is an absolute highlight — such an amazing place to hang out and enjoy the surroundings. A special shoutout to Pedro, the on-site maintenance manager, who was incredible. He was always nearby, friendly, and quick to help with anything we needed. His presence made the stay even smoother and more enjoyable. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Sayulita!

Host Response

Thanks for this review, it really means a lot. We are so happy you enjoyed your time there. And Pedro is the absolute best - we absolutely adore him!

We loved our stay at John and Shawn's place. They were very helpful in providing us with local recommendations and were very available to answer our questions. The accommodation was clean, very well decorated and very quiet! We loved the location, although a little far from the grocery store. We rented a golf cart because the road to the accommodation was not very well maintained. We had a lovely stay and would recommend it!

Host Response

Thank you, Andréa, for sharing your experience and recommendations. We’re glad you enjoyed our condominium’s decor, calm atmosphere, and local tips. We would love to host you again!

We loved our stay at this Sayulita home! The condo is beautifully appointed and the rooftop pool was unbelievable! We even saw whales while lounging! The patio was a highlight and a peaceful way to spend our mornings. John and Shawn were incredibly helpful as this was our first visit to Sayulita. They were proactive and responsive. The restaurant recs they gave were on point - one became our favorite spot and we went twice! We felt welcome, safe, and comfortable from the moment we arrived. Thank you so much!

Host Response

Thank you for staying with us and for the lovely review — we’re so glad our condominium, rooftop pool and patio helped make your first Sayulita visit relaxing and memorable. It was a pleasure sharing our local picks with you, and we’d love to host you again next time you’re in town.

We had a great time in Sayulita. This was our 2nd trip there coming from the US. The Airbnb is perfect. The rooms are nice and spacious. They feel clean and make you feel at home without feeling cluttered. The kitchen has everything you need. The decor even fit our style so much we started wondering if we should buy a place in the same building. If we come back to Sayulita we will definitely be staying here again.

Host Response

So glad you enjoyed your time in Sayulita — thank you for the kind review. We’re happy our condominium felt like home and would love to host you again when you return.

Very nice place at top of a hill. Road is pretty tough walking up especially if you have less mobile folks with you. Quite rocky and a little steep towards end, which I guess is somewhat expected in a small beach town. Was fine for me but not everyone in my party. Positive is that they offer ample car and golf cart parking so that was great. Place itself was very clean and well organized. Had everything we needed. Comfy beds, nice bathrooms with good water pressure. Host was very responsive.

Host Response

Thank you Ian for the wonderful review and for choosing our condominium. We’re glad you found everything clean and comfy, and we’ll use your feedback to make arrivals even smoother. Hope to welcome you back soon!

This place was spotless and clearly professionally managed—everything felt clean, organized, and thoughtfully set up. The linens and amenities were 10/10, and the space had a modern, comfortable style that made it perfect for our entire family. It honestly couldn’t have been cleaner or better equipped. That said, it’s not walkable, and you’ll definitely want a high-powered golf cart (the roads are steep, bumpy, and full of potholes). With the right cart and a sense of adventure, though, it’s an incredible spot and a must-stay.

Host Response

Thank you, Lauren, for your kind words—I’m thrilled your family enjoyed our condominium and found everything spotless and comfortable. I appreciate your feedback and will work on offering clearer guidance for cart rentals and routes to help future guests navigate with ease. Hope to welcome you back soon!

This was honestly among the best Airbnbs we have stayed at! The attention to detail, cleanliness and thoughtfulness with which the place was designed is beyond words. John and Shawn were so accomodating and provided everything we could ask for. The kitchen had everything one would need and the rest of the Airbnb was immaculate. We would highly recommend this place 100%.

Host Response

Excellent accommodation! With a spectacular pool view, the apartment is practically new and with very nice and pleasant finishes. Very comfortable and spacious. It's well worth staying there. John & Shawn's technique is excellent! Very helpful and friendly at all times! I would definitely come back!

Even though we unfortunately had to cancel our trip, I wanted to leave a review because the host was great to deal with. From the moment we booked, communication was clear, prompt, and friendly. When our plans unexpectedly changed, the host was incredibly understanding and accommodating, which made what could have been a stressful situation so much easier. I wouldn’t hesitate to book this property again in the future and highly recommend this host to anyone looking for a smooth, worry-free experience.

We booked this Airbnb for our family of 5 and absolutely loved it! It was very clean, quiet, and was decorated beautifully. We really felt right at home. It’s also very close to town & the beach, which made getting everywhere super convenient. Lastly, the hosts are incredibly kind, responsive, & made everything super easy. We highly recommend this place for anyone heading to Sayulita!

Host Response

Alyson, so glad your family of 5 felt right at home — that's exactly the vibe we hope every guest walks into. The location really is unbeatable for exploring town and getting to the beach without any fuss. We'd love to have you all back in Sayulita! — John & Shawn

We had an absolutely amazing stay! The house was brand new and stunning. Beautifully and thoughtfully designed and decorated. We felt right at home. The home was very well supplied with all of the essentials you would need. The beds were very comfortable, and the linens were all soft and luxurious. The location was perfect! Peaceful and tucked away. Everything was super close by golf cart or a 10 minute walk into town. The building is brand new gorgeous, guard gated and very secure. The security guard Pedro was so sweet and friendly. He was able to help us with anything that we needed. We all really enjoyed the rooftop pool with views overlooking the ocean. We watched some beautiful sunsets up there. Shawn and John were wonderful hosts. Very friendly and responsive. You can tell they really put so much love and thought into making you feel right at home at their beautiful Airbnb. We definitely look forward to coming back and staying there again in Sayulita.

Host Response

Renee, those sunset views from the rooftop pool are something we never get tired of hearing about — so glad you and your group got to soak them in! We put a lot of love into the details of the space, and it means the world that you felt right at home. We'd love to host you again whenever you're ready to return. — John & Shawn

After our flight, this was the perfect place to rest . We couldn’t really sleep when we arrived because of some work that was being done when we checked in, so the perfect spot to rest and lounge was at the rooftop pool with an ocean view. We ordered fruit and some groceries to be delivered to our rental unit and it worked out great. The lady that was cleaning the house gave me a phone number when I asked about deliveries like uber eats.

Host Response

We are so happy you chose to stay with us. And thanks for your understanding with the construction noise. We would love to have you back anytime

We had a wonderful stay at this Airbnb! The place was lovely, with everything we needed to feel at home. And WOW.. it is decorated with beautiful design intent! It’s in a fantastic part of town, on the north side of town just minutes away from all the action, which made it so convenient. We loved the walkability to both the beach and town… but loved spending time on the rooftop deck with infinity pool….the views didn’t disappoint. The hosts Shawn & John were incredibly responsive and made sure we had everything we needed. We would highly recommend this place and would definitely stay again!

Host Response

Love you loved the walkability and the space! Come on back anytime!
