6BR Villa in Nuevo Vallarta

This villa is gorgeous and the photos, while beautiful, don't give it full justice. The decorating touches are lovely and not the same old predictable rental items. Perfect for a group with a perfect pool area, lots of seating and dining spaces. Water jugs are provided for plenty of clean drinking water and a great blowdryer in every bathroom were so appreciated! Even though it's on a main but small road, still a little hard to find for taxi's etc for some reason but a convenient location to use golf carts for the beach and town. No town noise but roosters and dogs are in the background for sure - we were fine with that! Manager Esmeralda and Housekeeper Lupe were outstanding and did a wonderful job - very very nice, professional and responsive. My group would definitely stay here again!

We love this house! We've been renting it for 5 years now and it's perfect for our extended family with kiddos. Lupe does a great job taking care of the house and the grounds and pool are spotless every morning. Monica is great with recommendations (we loved the masseuses she recommended who came to the house, the golf cart rental company, and the airport transfers) and the house has everything we need. Highly recommend!

My group and I absolutely loved this property. It was the perfect home to comfortably accommodate all 15 of us. We especially enjoyed the backyard, with the pool being a highlight. While the home is located slightly outside the central town, the walk was only about 15–20 minutes—and the added privacy meant we didn’t have to worry about being too loud. The host was also very responsive whenever we needed anything during our stay. Overall, I would highly recommend this place.

We had a wonderful stay

We love El Dorado! This is our 4th year renting this house. It’s perfect for our big family and we love the new additions of hammocks and the fire pit. We recommend renting golf carts to easily get to the beach (Monica connected us with a great company). Highly recommend!!

I had an amazing experience at this Airbnb! The property was exactly as described, if not better. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warmth and hospitality. The space was immaculate, beautifully decorated, and had all the amenities I needed for a comfortable stay. The host went above and beyond, providing thoughtful touches like local recommendations and quick responses to any questions I had. I truly felt at home and could tell the host put a lot of care into creating a welcoming environment. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway. I can’t wait to return! Thank you so much for a fantastic stay! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This was the second time our group booked this house. Monica was nothing short of incredible. We had a large group booking and the person getting to the house first was not the person who booked - she was flexible, kind, understanding, and helpful. She reached out the day before the booking and made sure she understood the details. We trusted her and that was priceless! The housekeepers were incredibly kind and the house was spotless! Will definitely be back again!

The house and yard were beautiful. Location was close to town and beach, only a 5 minute golf cart ride. Monica was quick to respond and very accommodating. She let us check in an hour earlier and check out an hour later, which was super helpful with our travel itinerary. She put us in touch with contacts for transportation to airport as well as golf cart rentals. We didn’t need a chef for this trip but she had contacts available. I would recommend this house to anyone visiting Sayulita with a large party and would definitely come back in the future.

Monica and the entire staff at El Dorado were AMAZING. Very attentive to our needs, great communication, very nice and sincere. The casa is beautiful, cleaned to perfection each day, bedrooms are great for everyone. The pool gets a little dirty even after being cleaned, it's more of a jungle pool. Hot tub is not a hot tub, it's the same water as the pool. Waterslide can be dangerous as you're dropping into minimal water. All this said, our stay was not impacted as the house and porch area are fantastic.

Monica was a great host and super responsive. She also had great reco's for a private chef, car service, and golf cart rentals. Home was exactly as described and came with lots of extras like a fully stocked kitchen, filtered (water in jugs) water, beach chairs, and boogie boards. It was on a private, beautiful, property that made it feel like we were in the jungle. I did read some reviews that the hot tub doesn't get hot and that is accurate, but the kids didn't mind at all. Some of the tiles between the hot tub and pool need to be replaced and we did have an incident where one of the children cut their heel. Other than that the kids loved the pool. The home is a 5 minute golf cart ride from town on a busy road so we'd highly recommend golf carts especially if you have children. Also, there is no washer, but there is a drying rack for wet swimsuits.

This was the perfect place for our 10 adults and 6 children. The pool was fantastic with a large wading area for children and a slide. The house was spacious, beautifully decorated and well furnished with many spaces for sitting and socializing both inside and outside. The landscaping was beautiful and contributed to a feeling of privacy. Monica was very responsive and the staff was friendly and helpful. The house is luxurious, well maintained and everything works. Also very clean. Everyone agreed this was our favorite spot in Mexico.

My family and I have stayed at El Dorado for the past 3 years and we absolutely love it. The backyard, outdoor dining area, and pool are well set up to host a crowd. We also loved renting golfcarts to make it easy to get into town. Highly recommended!

The pictures of the home do it no justice. This is a home you must see in person. The grounds are beautifully kept. The pool is awesome and private. The home had everything we needed for our stay. It is walking distance to Sayulita plaza but not so much for the elderly. I loved how much space we had and how private it felt. We loved cats and Felix sure made it that much more enjoyable. Lupe and Esmeralda were super friendly and helpful. The only negative thing about the house is that it doesn’t come with a washer/dryer. So if you’re used to having one then this might change your mind. We were a large group and this was a huge downside. A party in the group also mentioned the downstairs bedroom bed is very squeaky. The smaller bedroom.

The house is as amazing as the pictures are. Close to town. 15 min walk or 8 min golf cart ride. After a few follow ups, Monica was able to put me in touch with a ride to/from the airport and a chef to come cook at the house. I had to reach out to her a few more times than I would have liked, but the referrals she eventually gave me were amazing. Jesus breakfast and dinner was some of the best food we had. Such a fun experience having someone come to the house to cook. Esmeralda came by the house daily to check in, but be aware she doesn’t speak English, so communicating about house questions was challenging for us coming from the US. Wish there was general information about the house available in a book to reference. The cleaning fee is pretty hefty for the services provided. We were there 4 days and had someone tidy the outside everyday, and someone came inside to make the beds and empty the trash. All things considered would stay there again.

We had a bachelorette here and everything was so clean, accurately described, and Monica gave us local recommendations for golf carts and transportation to and from the airport. The staff would come to clean daily and always left everything spotless. Anything that came up was responded to immediately and Esmerelda the caretaker was very sweet and accommodating. They even had a house cat outside named Felix who we loved! Would 10/10 recommend and come back!

The house is beautiful and spotless, thanks to Lupe! The kitchen was well appointed too. The house looks exactly like the photos and was great for our family of 15. The grounds are in need of more constant care and water. The lawn area and walkways were in poor shape and neglected. The pool also needs some work and a good cleaning at least twice a week. The pool was clean but the constant drop of leaves and debris from the trees means it needs cleaning more often. We skimmed the pool a couple of times a day, which was no big deal, but a certain amount always went to the bottom or clogged the filter baskets. The hot tub is not heated which was fine with us, but others may be disappointed. Oddly, it emptied every time the slide was turned on. The slide was a hit with the kids though! Monica's communication was good and her recommended chef put a really nice dinner together for us. The golf cart recommendation worked out well as did the airport transfer. Sayulita is just FUN!

We rented El Dorado for the week of our daughters wedding at villa Valentine, as a place for all our grown kids to stay with the families! It was the most incredible Airbnb we’ve ever stayed at and perfect in every way. Monica help recommend great local companies for transportation from airport, golf cart rentals and a caterer for a wedding brunch we hosted. Every single recommendation from Monica was amazing and made our whole family trip the best we’ve ever done together ❤️❤️❤️. Highly highly recommend staying here and we will be back soon. Catering from Jesus was absolutely the best food we had in Sayulita all week! Monica is the best host on the planet

We had a wonderful stay at El Dorado! 12 of us came for my bachelorette party. We all fit very comfortably. The place itself is amazing and clean. The staff are all super friendly. Caterer Jesus makes the BEST guacamole I’ve ever had- so if you’re interested in some catered meals- totally worth it!! Very good value. We also had golf carts delivered and made it super easy to get around sayulita. And they’re super fun! I would highly recommend staying here if you have a large group!

We LOVE this house. Our family has rented it for a few years now and there's a reason we keep coming back. It feels like a sanctuary from the bustle of Sayulita and it's a great house for kids and big families. It comes with everything you need for the beach (umbrellas, chairs, towels, beach toys ...) and has a fantastic pool for non-beach days. Highly recommended!

Outside of my poor communication with Monica, the house was amazing! A few things: 1) I sent multiple messages to her over two months and she did not respond and when she did and we were mid conversation, she disappeared. This happened many times on Airbnb messenger and whatts app. 2) when she did finally connect us to a chef and golf cart companies, they were a LOT more expensive than the competition and you don’t have to actually rent the household size worth of golf carts. 3) she never asked for my arrival time or flight information so our flights got delayed by 1.5 hrs and she finally reached out to see when we would arrive and mentioned someone would meet us and seemed annoyed. 4) the hot tub is luke warm and the pool is too. The water slide was broken when we arrived and I asked her to fix it and she never confirmed…but then a mechanic showed up two days later and got it fixed, which was great. ****Overall amazing house, terrible communication. Choose your own adventure.

The house is incredible! We stayed here with 9 girls and there was plenty of space for all of us. Super helpful that each room has its own bathroom. The house is beautiful, decorated nicely and feels like a mini jungle. Monica was slow to respond and didn’t offer options for chef, transportation etc until after I had already booked things on my own. You technically could walk to town but would take 20 or so minutes and is off of a busy street. Would recommend getting golf carts or calling a cab. Overall great spot for a large group!

Everything you’ve read about this house and Monica are TRUE!! El Dorado is truly a one of a kind home in Sayulita. Our group of 16 had the most incredible time here to celebrate my 30th birthday. Not only was the house clean, modern and beautifully decorated, it was private while also centrally located (3 min golf cart drive into the heart of Sayulita). The daily maid service and cleaning crew were exceptional. Admittedly, we had some late nights but the house and backyard were spotless by the time we woke up the next morning. Monica was the most communicative and helpful host of any rental I’ve stayed in. She shared recommendations for a round trip shuttle service to/from the airport, golf cart rentals, massages and a private chef cooked dinner at the house. If I could give Monica and her staff more than 5 stars, I would!! I will cherish the memories we made at El Dorado forever and I cannot wait to come back.

My review does not align with the other ones listed. I messaged Monica 4 times before getting Airbnb involved to get a response. From there, she was still slow to respond. The hardest part was getting the house address to book the accommodations. Once we got to the house, the staff was super nice, and Monica became super responsive. The house is large and private. The only negative is the noise; you are next door to what I believe is a rooster farm so expect to be woken up early. Overall the house and area are great, and if you get lucky in your communication with Monica, I am sure the experience booking will be better. Just be prepared to wake up early. Also the jacuzzi doesn't work or get hot (so if that is a deal breaker, which for us was a pretty big deal, be prepared)

Casa El Dorado is a fantastic place for a big group looking to be close enough to explore Sayulita, while still being a secluded and private oasis away from the crowds. I definitely recommend taking to the host about on site catering options, golf carts, and airport transport. These add ons were super convenient and affordable, and everyone involved was very pleasant and helpful. Enjoy!

Excellent staff, clean home and well appointed. Easy to get to town. Great pool for kids. Golf carts make getting to town and beaches a breeze. Monica helped set up the airport transfers, golf carts and the catering/chef. The pool is perfect for children and is very warm. The only downside was the noise, at night you will hear lots of chickens/roosters and dogs. Since it isn’t on the water it’s hard to block out those noises.

The house is beautiful! Great! Well luxurious! This house is huge, luxurious and tastefully appointed. Fue suficiente para nuestra familia, especialmente para entretenernos - adentro y afuera. It was a great space to stay and entertain our family both inside and out. We used their in-house caterer to provide a tasty brunch. The pool and patio were absolutely fun and relaxing after a long day on the beach. The house was conveniently located close to town. We highly recommend staying here with Monica Andrea as your host!

If you're considering this place...book it now! The house is gorgeous and the amenities/services made us feel like VIP. Why? House: -It's immaculate and huge--we had 14 people in our group and we had tons of room to move around...best of all, each room has it's own bathroom -The property is gated so we always felt safe -The patio and pool area had so many areas to hang out and chat, play games, etc. -The pool is not just a normal backyard pool, it's actually pretty big--and the waterslide was so fun! Amenities/Services: -Water is provided--I missed this and we had planned to buy water for everyone. Great surprise when we found out they provided drinking water. -Staff was so sweet, helpful, and made us feel at home. They did their thing under the radar...I didn't even get to see a few people until our last day. -Caterer - Monica connected us with Jesus, the caterer. This was so convenient for the amount of people we had and the food was delicious! The beans and grilled shrimp were the favorites within our group. This service even came with clean up after. -Golf Carts - These were so fun to drive into town and I think are necessary...it would be quite a walk from the house. The company Monica connected us with were great and flexible to work with in scheduling the drop off and pick up at the house. -Massages - Monica helped us coordinate massages at the house. They showed up, did their thing, and left us even more relaxed. -Airport transportation – Monica connected us with a company for roundtrip transport—pick up from and back to airport, even stopped at the grocery store on the way to the house which was really convenient. Monica and the whole team of people supporting the house were so communicative and accommodating. You’ll have a fabulous time here!

A beautiful trip we really enjoyed it as a family and 16 !!!! Jesus is a success and delight as well as a very friendly lupita and emerald, everything is very clean and well-equipped house tidy,the house is spectacular when you stay there you have to try what chef Jesus prepares, the village and the beach a natural wonder, it is 2 km. from the house but the cobblestone road to go to the beach is wonderful , you go for the vegetation, we do it daily. We don't need a golf cart, because we carry a car for the elderly who couldn't walk much , but I recommend that those who can walk ,very good atmosphere, excellent atmosphere, excellent !!! thank you all for your hospitality, you have a very good Monica team!!!

Our stay was AMAZING!! Communication, check-in, everything was wonderful. The home is GORGEOUS, in a very good location (close to town, especially with golf carts), and the property itself was amazing. I loved the attention to detail throughout the home, it was very cute and felt luxurious while also having a ‘homey’ and relaxed feel to it. Monica connected us with wonderful services in town (a chef and golf cart rental) and we are beyond pleased with their service as well. Honestly I cannot praise this home and experience enough, we had an AMAZING time. The house was always kept very clean (thank you to all the staff) during our stay. I have to say it wasn’t without hiccups, but the only issues we encountered were due to the weather and things out of Monica’s control. One day we couldn’t access the pool because the rain the previous night dirtied the pool, and then we had one day without electricity and one day without water (due to weather and possibly our own mistakes respectively). I will say, when we encountered these issues Monica + team were VERY quick to respond and helped us resolve the issues as quickly as possible and I really appreciated it. 5/5 stars and very well deserved!! I hope you go visit if you are reading this :-)

Wow! What a beautiful property. The house is huge with plenty of room for everyone to have their own space (we had 12 in our group) and nicely decorated and stocked! The pool was so fun, although the slide was not working. The cleaning staff was so kind and did a lovely job! Monica responds in a timely manner. The house was well equipped, the only thing we thought it might have but didn’t was soap/shampoo/conditioner in shower! All and all, loved the stay and I highly recommend getting the private chef to cook a meal or two!

Beautiful house and fantastic pool! This house was everything our extended needed for an excellent vacation. I highly recommend renting golf carts, you can get by without them but they make it super easy to get everything and everyone to the beach. Added bonus - the house comes with everything you need for the beach (including umbrellas and chairs). I also recommend getting detailed instructions to the house, the google maps location made it a little harder to find. I highly recommend staying here!

We had a good stay at El Dorado. The place is well apportioned, clean, and relatively close to town. A few things to note if you are evaluating this place…. Strongly suggest a golf cart if you are not someone who walks much. Roosters near the house begin crowing at 4am so you may want some white noise or earplugs. The jacuzzi is warm (not hot) and can not be adjusted. If you plan for the above items, you will be pleased with your stay. The house is really nice and kept in good order.

Monica was so phenomenal and this house was beyond perfect! We were 15 girls and each room had its own bathroom which made it ideal for getting ready and privacy. Monica helped us coordinate and get in contact with everyone we needed for rentals, events, a chef etc. she was beyond amazing and I can’t wait to go back to this house. It was a very quick and easy golf cart ride into town, but felt very safe and out of all the chaos!

We rented El Dorado for a week-long family reunion. The villa is beautiful and spacious, and worked out perfectly for our group of 12. The property is lush, with many seating areas and a lovely lagoon pool. Honestly, I enjoyed spending time on the property more than Sayulita itself. Communicating with Monica was easy and she was very helpful, as were the house staff. Golf carts are a must to get into town and hiring a private chef is wonderful (we used Chef Oscar Limon). I highly recommend El Dorado for a Sayulita holiday.

Excellent communication, service and cleanliness. We really enjoyed our time at El Dorado! We stayed for Christmas with the extended family and we had everything we needed to have a great and comfortable time there. They had also really nice details like decorating the whole house for the holidays ❤️

Great house for our group of 10 adults and 3 kids under 4. You’ll def want golf carts to get around town and there is plenty of parking for them on property. Each room was great size and had its own bathroom so offered privacy to everyone. I wish they had W/D for guest use, that was something I missed on the amenities list. Monica was super helpful with our arrival. Our shuttle got stuck in terrible traffic and I was having a number of extras delivered to the house. She managed all of it which was super helpful. Can’t wait to make a trip back.

I stayed here in January 2020 with a group of 11 friends, and absolutely loved it. We were looking for a place a little more secluded and outside of, but near to, the center of town, so we could have more privacy, and that is exactly what this is. With a golf cart, you can be downtown in less than 5 minutes. Probably a 10-15 min walk, depending on your speed. The outdoor area here is very large and blends into the jungle on one side. There are a lot of awesome huge plants. There is a magic house cat named Felix. The pool is super warm and great for swimming at night. The host, Monica, was incredibly nice and a very gracious host. She hooked us up with an incredible chef, Jesus, to come cook for us. She helped us get dope custom made all terrain golf carts, the list goes on and on. I really liked these people and this place. I’ll definitely be returning.

House was spacious and extremely comfortable. They even decorated from top to bottom for Christmas! The cleaning staff did an amazing job of keeping the house in immaculate condition and with 8 kids running around that was no easy job. Golf Cart rentals are a must with all of the kids and it made an easy escape for the moms to go into town on shopping trips. The pool was perfectly heated and WiFi was working great. El Dorado made the perfect vacation retreat.

Monica was a super host with a beautiful home for us to stay at. She was very diligent in making sure that our needs were meet from the moment we booked the house until the end of our stay. She made our stay in Sayulita one to remember. Her staff welcomed us as an extension of Monica’s family they catered to our needs and didn’t disappoint us with their services. My family and I celebrated my mother’s 62 birthday and she cried of joy because of the amazing time she had in Sayulita. Thanks to chef Jesus an his amazing local cuisine and Lupita’s help around the house. If you have a big group and you’re looking for someone to make your stay in Sayulita memorable Casa El Dorado is the place for you. Highly recommended!!!

We had a great stay and loved Monica’s home. Our group of 14 slept quite comfortably, the home is beautiful, and the pool was the biggest hit with everyone big and small. Loved the town of Sayulita, as it was a nice quiet retreat from the hustle and bustle of PV. Thank you so much for making our family vacation memorable and lovely!

I booked the El Dorado for 13 ladies for my 50th birthday. The villa was incredible, and much more beautiful in person! There was more than enough space for all of us. Although the majority of beds are listed as doubles, they felt larger. The kitchen and dining space accommodated us all easily, and the outdoor lanai was so relaxing. Lord all mighty... let’s not forget the pool! It is heated, and has a hot tub and slide attached. I feel so bad for the surrounding properties..... as we were having WAY too much fun all day and night with the pool! The grounds surrounding the pool are beautifully manicured, and it is truly a tropical oasis. Monica, Lupe, Jesus, and the rest of the staff at El Dorado were amazing! So kind, and accommodating. We were truly lucky to have such a wonderful group of people helping to make our trip spectacular. We had a couple of snags with keys, arrivals and departures, and Monica came through with complete professionalism, touched with kindness and understanding. Jesus, with Sayulita Life Lab Cuisine, cooked amazing meals for our huge group. He and his crew did a fantastic job of accommodating our group that had several dietary restrictions and vegans. I cannot stress enough how wonderful it was to arrive, after a long day of traveling, and have such a wonderful meal waiting! Thank you so much to everyone at El Dorado!!! Keep doing what you are doing, and we will be back☺️

We just departed El Dorado Casa after a glorious week-long stay with three generations of of our family. The home is well-designed and thoughtfully amenitized for people of all ages. Lots of places to sprawl out for various group activities, both indoor and outdoor. Rooms are well appointed and they do a great job of branding El Dorado to feel like a private resort - from the towels to mugs to crew uniforms. The home is located ~.5k from Pueblo Sayulita - very convenient by foot or golf cart. We adored the authentic charm of the area and the cobbled streets of this heavenly oceanside community.

The El Dorado house is beautiful. My family and I went to celebrate my daughter's birthday. We are a large group and we were all super comfortable. Besides the house being beautiful and clean, the extra touch was the house Chef. They always took great care of us. What more could you ask for? My family and I were super happy with our stay at Casa El Dorado. Thank you very much, Monica Andrea and Jesus, for all the attention you gave us. I definitely recommend it!

We had a wonderful stay at El Dorado Casa last week. We were a group of 12 girls celebrating my sister's bachelorette and I could not have asked for a better house for the celebration. The house was the perfect size for our group; we all slept comfortably with a bathroom in each room (the master bedroom also has an incredibly comfortable King bed!) and our beds were even made for us each morning (thanks to the lovely housekeeping staff!). The outdoor area was spacious and surrounded by luscious tropical greenery (perfect for pics!). The location was convenient, about a 10-15 minute walk and a short 5 minute drive with golf carts, which I highly recommend. Monica was also wonderful to work with. From the moment we confirmed our stay, she connected us with transportation to and from the airport, a company who supplied golf carts and Jesus who stocked the house with groceries and cooked a wonderful meal at the house for us. They were all very easy to communicate with and responded promptly. Additionally, during our stay, Monica was incredibly responsive and helpful. If you're hosting a larger party in Sayulita, I could not recommend El Dorado Casa more. You'll have a wonderful time!

Great spot right outside of town away from noise but still very convenient. You can certainly walk to town during the day, but not recommended at night because there isn’t a real sidewalk and it’s a busy road. Hosts helped arrange golf carts - highly recommend. The pool and slide were fun, the chef was great, the rooms were spacious, cute, and clean...the list goes on. The hosts worked with my maid of honor to arrange all details of the bachelorette trip and they were very communicative and thoughtful. I’ll also note that there seems to be overblown concern regarding “sayulita sickness” this year - I spoke with the hosts and they gave helpful tips and reassured our concerns. With 13 of us on the trip, eating and going out in town, no one got sick while there and all seem healthy a day after our return. Go check out this cute town and this wonderful house!

Casa El Dorado is a beautiful space that would be great for a large group. There are 6 rooms all of which have their own bathrooms. There is a beautiful pool with a water slide and hot tub. The house is outside of town, so be prepared to walk a distance or rent golf carts to get into town. This is a must if you are traveling with small children. The host is very responsive via email and phone. She set up golf cart rentals, a private chef, and transport to and from the airport. There is also maid service everyday and security cameras around the entire property, which made us feel safe on our vacation.

Our family thoroughly enjoyed staying at the El Dorado Casa. The villa is wonderfully designed for a large family like ours and we found every detail anticipated and fully prepared. The house was immaculately cleaned upon our arrival and Lupe, the housekeeper came daily to keep the home sparkling. Our grandchildren spent every available moment when we were at the villa in the swimming pool which was well maintained and includes a wonderful surprise waterslide. We hired an outside chef to prepare our meals daily and he and his staff found the kitchen to be excellent for his preparations and service. The villa is located in an area that provides great access and a short drive to all interesting areas on the peninsula - Sayulita, San Francisco, Puente Mita and the great beach of La Lancha. We highly recommend El Dorado Casa to any large family/group of families looking for a wonderful oasis that enables you to safely and comfortably enjoy the "real" Mexico. Our thanks and all our best to Andrea and Ricardo the ownders of this beautiful villa and property. Jake and family

We can't say enough good words about this place! The home completely exceeded our expectations and has such a wow factor when you arrive. A beautiful entrance, gorgeous yard, the pool, the patio, the outdoor dining table and then you walk inside to see all that the home has to offer! It was plenty of space for 16 ladies (bachelorette party!) and every single person was in love with the property! The staff is wonderful and you hardly know they're there. Things were tidied by morning, the yard always looked great, and every evening when we came back home, bathrooms were cleaned and beds were made. Monica Andrea was wonderful from the day we booked. They made so many incredible recommendations and introductions to boat companies, transportation rentals, beaches, and restaurants - the list goes on! And one final but very special piece for me, there is this adorable kitten/cat that lives on the property, Feliz. He is black and white, so sweet and loving and enjoys the company. Please be sweet to him, he deserves more than that! He appreciates scraps that have fallen on the floor (and more), and lap time if you're willing to give it. His purrs will make you melt! I miss him already and want to come back to visit. I would recommend this house to anyone, and I plan to be back! Thank you thank you thank you for this wonderful experience!

We are already planning our trip back! We were a group of 11 adults (2 couples, 7 singles) celebrating my husband's 40th birthday. Everyone had a bed and the house was much bigger and the layout better than even the pictures give it credit for. I was nervous about having so much staff around because I was thinking it would not feel so private. I was completely wrong Juan, Esmeralda, Lupe, Martin, and Jesus added to our experience and were so kind to us during our stay. We had Jesus cater our first night since we were all getting in late and it was so amazing and delicious that we decided to do another night! It was well worth it and Jesus' dishes were the best we had during our stay in Sayulita. I love the house, the location is perfect. The hot tub is not very hot, so just get over it. Everything else is amazing! If you are up for the 15 minute walk I would say that golf carts are not necessary for this house unless you have people who are not as mobile or small kids. Part of the walk to town is on the main road, but it is short and there are so many speed bumps the cars are moving slow. We took taxis after dark just for safety and they were pretty cheap. Transportation from the airport I would suggest the SUVs for pick up so you can stop at the grocery store (limit 7 persons), but the taxis from Sayulita to PVR had a lower rate for small groups ($35 for regular taxi) and slightly higher but more comfortable for large groups ($75 for a 12 passenger van). We were connected for a trip out to Las Marietas that was fantastic. The snorkeling was not great due to visibility, but if there ever were a clear day it is an awesome spot. We saw so many whales (mid Jan) and the islands and birds are amazing. Taxi was $50 US each way for a 12-passenger van. We went with Isai Tours and it was great ($35US pp and 3ish hours) Places we loved: El Conejo, Marys, Terrace Bar, Agave Liquors Did not enjoy: ChocoBanana

Monica's space is luxurious, gorgeous, and extremely well appointed with amenities. Her brother Jesus (who helps manage the property) is very hospitable, and willing to make your stay a dream vacation. The house is spotless, and the pool area is kept sparkling. We had hoped for the circular tub to be hot, and for the slide to be in the deep in end (it was difficult to use because adults hit their bum in the shallow), but otherwise the pool/patio area is dreamy and comfortable. We can't wait to stay to at this property again in Sayulita!

Welcome to Mexico…. You never really know what you are going to get when you travel to Mexico. This is our 8th trip to the area. We have experienced both the joys and challenges of vacationing in Mexico. We stayed at Casa El Dorado for a week over the spring break/Easter holiday week. Joys included: - Monica (the owner) allowed us to check in early - super accommodating for our large group arriving at different times. - Ricardo (the property manager) met us at the house for check in and quickly reviewed the property features and rules. - The house is beautiful, the grounds are lush. The house was clean and well appointed. The overall setting was perfect for our group of 15. Ages ranged from 10 to 69. There was something for everyone! - Many areas for small groups to break out depending on their activities. Large dining tables indoors and out. Comfortable seating areas inside and out. A gazebo tucked away in the back corner of the property. Large area to sit, visit and eat at the kitchen island. - The pool was clean and warm. The staff cleaned it every morning. The slide was a blast for the kids but it lets out into a very shallow section of the pool so it is not ideal for bigger kids. Also of note: the “hot tub” in the listing is not a hot tub but a jetted tub, no warmer than the pool water. Our surfers were a little disappointed as they would have liked a hot tub to relax their tired, paddling shoulders. - The outdoor pool house (restroom / shower) is genius. Very convenient. - Each suite had its own bathroom and was stocked with soap/shampoo/conditioner/lotion. - Large selection of pool/beach items in the “garage” behind the house. Beach umbrellas, folding chairs, rolling cooler, lightweight table, inflatables, pool toys and straw beach mat. Having these items available saves rental money on the beach, just consider the walk / drive to the beach to accommodate transport of these items. - Extra fridge/freezer available in the garage. - Large side yard for the kids to run and play. - Even though we faced some challenges, Monica was extremely responsive to emails regarding issues we encountered and addressed most items in a day or two. - Lupe, the housekeeper was efficient and we appreciated her tidying up the house daily. - Juan and Esmerelda, the caretakers, lived right outside the gate and provided an extra level of security/comfort. - The fresh fruits and veggies as well as warm freshly made tortillas at the stands around town were delicious! - Check out the cheese shop at the entrance to town (near the gas station and Subway restaurant). Excellent. - The surfing was great for newbies as well as seasoned surfers. - The vendors on the beach didn’t seem as numerous as we have seen at other locations around PV. Challenges included: - The televisions did not work in all the...
