Ramon

Thank you very much, Mr. Ramon, for your hospitality and flexibility!

This place is amazing! The pictures do no justice! Ramon is a great host. Very king and attentive. Will definitely be coming back here in the near future.

This is our first time visiting Casa Markel. We were looking for something big on the app because we were going as a family, and this one convinced us, in addition to the view it offered. Wow! It's better than I expected. It's very close to the main avenue. The road is flat, and to get to the house, there's a roughly 150-meter climb that's somewhat steep but accessible. It is quite spacious, has 3 bedrooms, each with a full bathroom, and 2 beds with a canopy and ocean views, like the master bedroom 😍 It has a swimming pool, a wading pool, lounge chairs and really everything you need to have a good time. What I loved the most is that if you are in the living room, kitchen or dining room, you have a view of the ocean 🌊🌴 Ramón was very friendly and helpful at all times. Thank you for making us feel right at home! 🙌

Casa Markel was absolutely wonderful and exactly as advertised. Communication with our host was excellent throughout our stay — we admittedly reached out quite a bit, and he was always kind, responsive, and helpful. One thing I would recommend to future guests is renting a golf cart, as the road leading up to the villa is quite steep and may be challenging for some guests. That said, the moment you step onto the terrace and see the view, it is completely worth it. I’ve worked in hospitality for over 30 years and now own a travel agency, so my expectations are naturally very high. We intentionally chose Casa Markel because we wanted something more authentic than a modern luxury resort experience, and it did not disappoint. The open-air living room and kitchen were incredible, while the enclosed bedrooms with private baths and AC kept everything comfortable at night. Casa Markel truly captures the charm and spirit of Sayulita. Thank you to Ramon and his wife for an amazing stay!

The most beautiful view and home we could have imagined. Our family enjoyed our stay very much. The pool was a definite plus. It was very welcome after a day at the beach. The kitchen had everything we needed. We brought our own coffee set up. There is a pantry to keep your food. The pantry has a toaster oven and microwave. The living room sofas are very comfortable and the open air concept was ideal this time of year. The two downstairs bedrooms have air conditioning, their own bathrooms and are very quiet at night. The upstairs bedroom is beautiful with a spectacular view, air conditioning, but has virtually no water pressure. Everyone thanked me for finding this beautiful home and we would definitely stay here again. Ramon was very responsive to any questions and requests. ps: We rented 2 golf carts for the 6 of us from Sayulita Golf Carts and we really enjoyed having them!

Ramon was an incredible host! So kind and attentive! We would absolutely stay there again and can recommend this place enough! My family agreed it is the most beautiful house we have ever had the privilege to stay!

Amazing spot, great price, even better hosts. Would highly recommend to anyone staying in Sayulita.

This villa was a gorgeous place to stay and Ramon was so responsive! Would highly recommend!

Our stay at Ramon’s place went above our expectations. I don’t think we could have found a better view in all of Sayulita. Ramon was responsive to our needs and was incredibly helpful navigating the town, additionally he gave us very helpful advice driving the golf carts up and down the hills. We were a larger group staying with Ramon and all of us felt right at home as soon as we arrived at the house. Ramon specifically made our trip extra special by picking us up from the bus station and giving us recommendations of local restaurants. The pool was perfect for hot days and there was more than enough kitchen supplies for us to make meals at the house. I would definitely recommend staying here and I this would be my first choice in stays when I return to Sayulita.

It was truly perfect! Shampoo and body wash and conditioner weren’t provided in all 4 bathrooms - only in the primary bedroom. Maybe add a hair dryer too! Perhaps an included golf cart :)

We really enjoyed our stay at Casa Markel. The home was spacious and beautiful with a gorgeous view. Ramon was an excellent host. He was very responsive and helpful during our stay. We would recommend this home for families and groups looking for a quiet location

A wonderful spring stay at the beautiful and unique Casa Markel. Perched high on a hill with gorgeous views of Sayulita and the sea, easily walkable to downtown and the beaches. Steep, but our kids who are between ages 6-9 were able to do it without much complaint. Ramon was very responsive with any requests we had. The pool was wonderful for the kids, surrounded by what felt like a jungle oasis. Air conditioning in the rooms worked very well and plenty of hot water for showers. Next time we are in Sayulita, we wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again. Gracias Ramon!

Ramon was super friendly and Amable, we had an issue with the refrigerator and the next day he arrived with a new one. The house is Beautiful, and the views are even better. Highly Recommended.

Great stay!

This place was absolutely beautiful. Like, completely stunning. Ramon was super nice and helpful, great English and responded quickly to any request we had. He lives onsite but with a separate entrance down the hill and never bothered us. Sunsets here are great, the hill was fine for a group of relatively fit college age travelers. Recommend a gas golf cart, reserve it ahead of time.

Everything went smoothly and the views were wonderful! Ramon was great and very helpful!

Gorgeous and unique home with incredible views! Ramon could not have been a better host. He was quick to respond and had excellent recommendations. We would definitely recommend this home.

We had an amazing stay at this beautiful property with absolutely incredible views! The location is perfect—just a short walk to town, making it super convenient while still feeling like a private retreat. We highly recommend renting a golf cart to get around, but note that the 6-seater carts won’t make it all the way up the hill—you can park at the bottom and walk up. It wasn’t an issue for us. Ramon is a fantastic host—so responsive, kind, and helpful throughout our stay. The home itself is stunning, with thoughtful decor and a spotless clean interior. We especially loved the pool and the fully stocked kitchen, which made it easy to prepare meals. One thing to note: the room with the twin beds is essentially outdoors, but with the perfect weather, mosquito nets, and a little time to adjust, our boys ended up loving the adventure of it! The AC in every room, along with ceiling fans, was a huge plus and kept us comfortable throughout our stay. Being able to do laundry was also great!

Beautiful home with beautiful views! Ramon was great to work with and was very helpful. Definitely recommend a golf cart rental the house is within walking distance but is at the the top of a steep hill.

What a beautiful place, with a wonderful view of the seaside!! We had a wonderful time. Ramon was very helpful and gave us great recommendations.

We had the most amazing and relaxing 10 night stay at Ramon’s! The place was like no other and had the most incredible views and rooms. Ramon was highly responsive and able to help out with different requests and recommendations. We had some previous concerns after reviews of construction noise however this was no issue at all, the construction is still going however we hardly noticed it and did not impact our stay whatsoever. Could not recommend highly enough, Thankyou Ramon and family! I hope to be back again

large house, the pool good for children and adults, very quiet at night, we hope the construction ends soon so that everything is much better

Great views and very beautiful house. Great host. We will come back in the future.

Very attentive and communicative host - helped us with anything at all we needed. The home was perfect for our families to all all stay together - lots of room - and the view just cant be captured in photos. Incredible! Would definitely stay again.

My family stayed at Casa Markel for about a week and had a great time! The views are incredible and made the vacation so special. Ramon was friendly, helpful and accessible. We were so happy to stay up on the hill and away from the noise in town. We rented a golf cart which was really helpful - the hill is a doable walk, but I wouldn't want to have to make that trek every time we went out. We also took a surf lesson and zip lined through the jungle - both highly recommend. We would definitely come back to Sayulita for a vacation and would love to stay at Casa Markel again. The house is wonderful, and Ramon is a great host. Also, the construction next door was not an issue for us at all.

Ramon and Karina are wonderful hosts! So friendly and accommodating. Their home is amazing and we would definitely stay there again.

The pictures don’t do this place justice, it is even more beautiful in person. We were deliberating over a couple other AirBnbs and I’m so happy we chose this one. The weather was perfect every day, so the open air living spaces were ideal. The view of the water cannot be beat. We loved that there were several places to hangout on the property, not just the main living room. We had everything we needed in the kitchen and bathrooms. Construction is listed in the description and was only one morning, nothing a pillow over the head couldn’t fix. We had other friends staying in town that complained about loud roosters that kept them awake, but we didn’t experience that in the slightest. It was great being on the hill away from the hustle and bustle. Ramon helped us plan a chef the first night and golf cart rentals, both of which were extremely easy and worthwhile. Ramon was also patient with us as we were there for a bachelorette. Gracias a usted!

We enjoyed the beautiful home and amazing view. Ramon was a great host. The house was exactly as described. Our family enjoyed the pool.

Stayed at Casa Markel with a group of friends to celebrate my birthday in Sayulita, and we loved it! Ramon gave us such a warm welcome, and was always responsive. The views from the place were incredible, and we enjoyed watching the sunsets from the balcony. The construction next door didn’t bother us since we were mostly gone during the day, and there was no construction on a couple of days so we were able to relax by the pool all day which was really awesome! We enjoyed being a little outside of the hustle and bustle of the city, but it was definitely close enough to easily walk into town for meals and events. I would highly recommend this home to anyone visiting Sayulita!

Ramon was a wonderful host! The home boasted amazing and unobstructed views of the ocean which we loved. Ramon was so helpful, kind, and responsive. The ONLY drawbacks for us about the house is that it is currently surrounded by construction on multiple sides so during daylight hours there is a lot of noise. In the evening, as you probably see in other reviews, the sound from town travels up the hill. Most nights during our stay we could heard very loud music until at least 2:30 in the morning. Since we travel with ear plugs and a sound machine we were good but had we not had those… nights would have been troublesome. Definitely things out of Ramon’s control.

Ramon was a great host! The house was comfortable. The kitchen was stocked, not for a chef, but good for making margaritas, guacamole and salsa. There is construction which was noted when we booked. It was a non issue. Friday night there was really loud club music playing a couple of houses down playing late until the early morning, which was a nuisance, however, the rest of the stay was quiet and lovely. The house is on a hill as described. We got some good workouts in climbing the hill! If you have any knee issues or injuries, beware it is a steep climb if you plan to go on foot. We rented a golf cart but I still preferred to walk down the hill, it’s steep! We would definitely stay here again. Great location and host!

Casa Markel is stunning. The views are amazing, the beds are comfortable and it’s a great location right outside of town. Ramon is super responsive and helpful. A great experience all around

This place is truly wonderful - the view from the house is amazing, the space is comfortable, and location was private and quiet, yet close to some great restaurants/beach locations. Ramon was incredibly helpful from airport pickup, to coordinating golf cart rental (as others have said - a great way to get up the hill & around town), to recommending an in home chef, and making sure we had all we needed & pointing us in the right direction during our stay!

I can’t say enough about Ramon’s place !! Love love the outdoor living loved the location! Ramon was a spectacular host and made sure we were taken care of down to providing a maid as we were there almost 2 weeks!! Will definitely be back we love Sayulita during Christmas and for sure will rent from Ramon again!!

We had a great stay at Ramon’s. The view was amazing to wake up to every day and the indoor/outdoor environment was exactly as described. We would definitely come again!

Our stay was great. Ramon was wonderfully accommodating on all fronts. The house is on a steep hill but the view was absolutely worth it! Do recommend a golf cart, however, if you still opt to walk less than 10 mins to North Beach.

Most beautiful view from the house! Will definitely stay there again.

Case Markel was the perfect spot for our girls weekend. The views are breathtaking. Ramon was a great host, very responsive during our stay and helped us get transportation to the airport booked. He also helped with golf cart rental, highly recommend doing that because the house sits on a very steep hill.

We loved the house! The view is truly, breath taking! Ramon was a wonderful host. He took care of our every need. Including extras! We had an unforgettable vacation!

6 guests This place is awesome! The living room looking out over the ocean ended up being our group’s favorite spot to chill. The pool area was also great. Every room had AC that gets COLD. The hill up to the Airbnb is super steep when walking back. If you drive down that hill, make the right on C. Chiripa, and park right before you get to Ave. Del Palmar the walk into town is not bad at all. I highly recommend this place!

The views from this house are unbelievable. More than enough space for 4 adults, 2 teens and 2 babies. Ramon was very helpful and accommodating with an early check in and late departure, recommendation for arrangement of golf cart, and use of pack n play. We were there over the very crowded Easter week and at one point the city turned off the water. Ramon hooked up a backup system very quickly. There is drinking water provided. We were very glad to have rented a golf cart. You don't get that kind of a view without being on a very steep hill. Very steep. Major construction project still in the works next door, but it was not a bother for us at all. Very little noise from it while we were there. Loved the house and location. Would stay there again.

Ramon’s place has a spectacular view and it’s easy to get to town from there. There’s AC in the bedrooms which is a must! We loved our stay here!

We just returned from 4 wonderful nights at Casa Markel! First off- the view is absolutely incredible. The open air space is so nice. The house is beautiful and just as pictured. The location is great but the house is on a very steep hill. We had golf carts and I’m glad we did! It’s just a couple minute drive into town which was super convenient. Ramon helped get us our carts as well as round trip transportation prior to our arrival and that made things so easy! We had 7 people and the house was extremely spacious for everyone. The construction next door is real and is still going- however, we were always out and about during the day plus I was aware of it so it wasn’t an issue for us! We had a private chef come in for dinner one night and it was the highlight. I can say enough about that view! The pool was great to have for the kids. It’s super shallow and perfect to relax in after a beach day. Loved the place and hope we can return!!!!

Ramon was a great host, extremely responsive and helpful. This house is beautiful with a view that you just cannot beat. Very clean and comfortable. The house is very open format with no walls to the view. This does allow for mosquitos to come in so be prepared for this. Beach and plenty of restaurants in walking distance, but some steep hills so be prepared for that as well or rent a golf cart. We did have some electrical issues when we first arrived with very few lights and fans not working, but Ramon had an electrician come and got it all sorted out in a really timely manner. Would absolutely stay here or at any of Ramon’s properties again in a heartbeat. Thanks Ramon!

This place was amazing. The house looks just like the photos… bright colors, beautiful tile work. We were a party of 7 and we all fit perfectly with a bed to spare. I would definitely recommend renting a golf cart. The hill leading up to the house is quite steep. We did without the cart for a few days and my 60 year old mother was struggling a bit, my 34 year old knees were also mad at me! The house is about a 10-15 min walk from downtown but you can still hear music at night. I came prepared with ear plugs since I’m a light sleeper and it was fine. Same goes for the construction next door. It wasn’t terrible but we were out of the house for the most part anyway. We cooked a couple of days at the house and they had everything we needed, except for maybe a few spices. They had salt though! Ramon was super helpful with arranging rides when we needed and was super nice! I definitely recommend!

It is a beautiful place, I was hesitant because I had read reviews about construction noise next door. There was some noise (I did not think it was bad) but I think the majority of the work is done. I would like to come back

Everybody in my family loved it! It is far enough from the beach that we didn't go back and forth very often during the day, but the view and the gorgeous house made up for that. The house has three bedrooms that felt really private for each of the three couples. What is truly amazing are the communal spaces with big tables, couches that made it really easy for all of us (8 people total) to hang out with really fantastic views. The pool was clean, but still a little chilly for most of us to swim in (we were there in December!), especially when we have the ocean nearby! Overall a really great space!

Place was as beautiful as the pictures. Couldn’t ask for a better view. Pool was great and house was awesome. Ramon was responsible to any questions or small issues that came up. Wifi was pretty good but didn’t reach the upstairs bedroom. Beds were too firm for my liking but overall was very happy.

Casa Markel is quite the property. Ramon is a great host. There when you need him (very responsive to messages) and was great helping us book a dinner at the house. We had beef, chicken and fish. Would recommend asking for spicy dishes specifically if you want to some kick to your meal. 😉 The fish was my favorite. You definitely want a golf cart for this property. Taking that hill after heading to the beach or the bars is a challenge by foot. Like it’s crazy steep. Side note on transportation, you may not find the property’s address in Uber/Lyft. Ramon was great trying to help us and his typed up directions were helpful, but unbelievably valuable to have actual GPS location so you can navigate your app of choice. We had 7 crazy, adventurous people and everyone loved this house! The AC in the bedrooms is legit. And no one can complain about the view. Thanks, Ramon!

This house is amazing with breathtaking views of Sayulita! I’ll definitely stay there again!

Beautiful home with a beautiful view of the ocean to match. We enjoyed our stay, thank you!

Great place to stay. Beautiful house and great view! Very clean and Ramon was great and really made us feel at home.

Casa Markel was great. Ramon was very helpful from start to finish. He helped us book airport transportation and golf carts to get around town, both at a good rate. He also promptly responded to any questions or concerns, especially communicating with our taxi when our inbound flight was delayed several times. Golf carts are basically essential during your stay because of the steep hill and distance to town. However, the location is perfect. Casa Markel is just far enough away from the sounds of the nightlife and the balcony and pool views at the top of the hill are incredible. As stated in the description, there is noise during the day from construction, except on Sunday. The noise is pretty consistent from 8am until late afternoon. Personally, the noise/construction didn't really bother us or impact our visit. It's pretty easy to ignore between the pool and view, plus some added music. Most of our time was spent exploring the area anyways. We did massages at the house one day - if you do this, obviously do it on a Sunday. All in all, I highly recommend Ramon and Casa Markel.

Host is responsive and the place is great. The view is awesome!! As other reviewers have said if you are planning on walking into town understand the property is at the top of a very large hill and some may have trouble walking up there. Can get to the beach in about 10 minutes, 15 minute walk to square. The two twin beds are in an open room upstairs outside of master bedroom- no way to close off the outside but the weather was great and we had no issues. Overall would recommend!

Excellent house and location!! The pictures do not do this house justice. The views are amazing! Everything was perfect!! I would highly recommend and would return anytime!!

Casa Markul was an amazing house for our family. Ramon and Carina were very accommodating and kind. Very comfortable accommodations and still close to the center of town. Also, it was nice quick access to the less busy north beach.

This house was perfect for our group of 7 to stay for a week. Plenty of space to hang out together or find solace on one's own. Spent beautiful mornings in the large open living room watching the ocean and listening to the birds. Super easy to cook meals together and enjoy. Pool was an awesome place to hang out too, with a view of the ocean from the pool itself. The pictures honestly don't do the spaces justice. The king bed is on second floor with its own living room (where the two single beds are). The other two rooms have their own doors off the front courtyard, making them feel very private. Overall the house affords a lot of privacy for three different couples. Host was very accommodating and helped us drop our bags early and store them late on check-in/check-out, and on-site host helped us when we had questions. The location is really nice, outside of the center of town up on the hill for the awesome view and quiet nights. We had two golf carts to get around and it made a big difference for our group so we could get around quickly - plus the hill up to the place is pretty steep so it was nice to have an option to zip up vs. walk.

This place is amazing. Our group of four had a wonderful time. The house is awesome, looks just like the photos, and the views are spectacular. Super easy to walk into town. Ramon was exceptional communicating and offering to help with any local recommendations. Lock this down if it’s available, you won’t be disappointed!

Unique open air home with idealistic views filled with art and rustic tile designs that transport you to exactly where you’d like to be. Top of a hill so nice to have a cart or vehicle to get up and down. Easy communication with Ramon that made the stay comfortable.

Amazing house. Ramon is a great host. We would definitely stay there again.

This place was beautiful, the view is amazing. There’s is construction next door but other than that Karina and Ramon were really attentive to our needs when something went wrong or we needed something

Great place beautiful ocean view.. the only issue is the location the house is in a steep driveway hill not much room to turn around with your vehicle if you drive a large van or large SUV will be ok with a small car… make sure if you rent a golf cart make sure it has enough power to drive uphill dont want to push…

This place was a gem! We stayed here over New Year with my family and we just loved the house. It is so beautiful with magical views. There was so much room for the adults and kids of various ages, everyone could be together or have privacy. It is located a few blocks from great restaurants and the beach near the house is less crowded but you can still get any types of food and drinks brought to you at your desire. We fell in love with Sayulita and the house. The hill is a bit steep the last 50 yards, thus the amazing view, and we were not able to get golf carts because of this (possibly the gas ones can make it but not sure of that because we waiting last minute to order), but we had no problems getting around in town and up and down the hill on foot even with little kids in tow, everything is so close. The house is so worth the value, it is truly a gem and Ramon is so helpful in everything.

Our stay at Casa Markel was absolutely amazing! The view is stunning and the house was perfect! Ramon was also so helpful and available whenever we had a question or needed a taxi ride into town because the hill is a bit steep to always walk up and down. Overall 10/10 and would love to stay here again!

This house is very nice! The location is luxurious, the view is wonderful. Ramón was very kind to us, he bought us an umbrella to go to the beach because we forgot ours. Although the construction is together, on the weekend we didn't even notice it. we really enjoyed our vacations. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The pictures do not do this house justice. The house is beautiful, the view is breath taking and sunsets are like none other. The house is up on a hill overlooking the town and the ocean. Easy to walk, but better to get around in golf cart. Ramon, the host is great and has good referrals. We visited in July and enjoy the town and beaches, but we're happy to return to the house and enjoy our private pool in the evenings. This place is paradise. We would definitely return. One side note to beware of: there's quite a bit of construction in the area, but did not take away from our experience.

The house is super, the view is spectacular, you are away from the hustle and bustle of the village, which became ideal ,the super cleanliness, the common areas very well with a beautiful view that is 100% recognizable

Our host definitely made our stay enjoyable. Amazing place. Great location, everybody enjoyed the house.

Amazing stay and memorable views. Ramon was helpful in every way and provided top level service. Will definitely be back again.

Beautiful home, great view. Ramon responds almost instantly. What a place!

Place was great and a discounted rate due to the construction. Definitely a crazy Steep hill but the view of the place is worth it

I can’t say enough good things about our stay . The number one benefit is the view from this house it is insane but a close 2nd is the property manager Ramon! To say he is attentive is an understatement! His timely communications and immediate help is the best I have ever had from any Airbnb experience. Regarding the beautiful home it does not disappoint. It was so nice to have bottled water available for our trip. Already delivered to the kitchen it almost lasted our whole 6 days. All 3 of the bedrooms have Great bathrooms, air conditioning and comfortable beds and pillows. The indoor outdoor living area has fans for the day time but there seemed to always be a nice breeze coming thru as well. Ramon set us up with Lulu who is an amazing cook!!! Both of our meals that she prepared in our kitchen were as good as anything in town. Plus our sunset view beats anything you will find in town. FYI the kitchen is stocked with whatever you will need in regards to dish ware and silverware. The pool area is great. The sun hits it by noon and by the time you have had a great breakfast in town it will be shining bright on the pool. Do you need a golf cart...not necessarily if you are only going into town a bit . You are in walking distance but you do have a steep hill to get to the house so be able to walk that. In the end a golf cart is a fun addition and always a highlight to have! There were 3 of us working and the WiFi was pretty good. Zooms were a little harder but worked. One area to note: construction has begun next store which we were aware of prior to arrival, hence the lower rate on the house. If you plan to enjoy the beach durning the day you won’t even notice it and after the first day we didn’t really pay attention to it. They only work till noon on sat and off Sunday. To be honest it was worth getting this great rate for this unbelievable house. A few other tips: We hired a private yoga instructor to take a short 30 min walk to a private beach and yoga session on the beach it was amazing. Anahi Anahi’s a.yoga on Instagram. Www.Ajexperiences.com is amazing. Getting our COVID test was super easy. We had a local dr come to the house and we had our results 4 hours later. Dr Pena penapla@hotmail.com $68.00 We have been to sayulita 4 times and this was our favorite location by far!

I would say the main attraction of the house is the splendid view of the beach and the town. The host is very attentive and kind. I would 10/10 recommend this place.

Very nice house, big terrace, pool, each bedroom with their own bathrooms, beautiful view, 10 min walking from the beach! Great host. We had a great time
