Sayulita Recommendations?
Seems that a lot of folks on this site have traveled other places in Mexico so I hope this is not too off-Baja topic...I am taking a trip to Sayulita
at the end of August (I know - rain, humidity, bugs, slow season, worst time of year to go, etc.) and am looking for cheap accommodations near the
beach and short walk to town - Junto al Rio? The Sayulita Trailer Park & Bungalows? Others you might know of? Thoughts? Comments? Traveling
alone and I don't need anything fancy at all. Fishing, scuba, snorkeling, have a couple of drinks, listen to some music, relax. That's what I'm
looking for. Also in PV for a couple of days on my in and out flights and looking for the same. Thanks

I was there in October, only stayed one night before heading North. Other than the hostel I think you will have a hard time finding anything cheap by
Mexican standards. Same with San Pancho. I ended up staying at Bungalows Aurinko, a very nice couple own it. Would stay there again.

I have a home on the Pacific coast about 20 miles north of Sayulita and have friends I visit often...I like the Sayulita Beach House right on the
beach,a few feet away is Pattie's surf school and in front is Adriana's restaurant, take a look at this site with interactive maps..have
fun.............

Troncones is a nice place and generally expensive....I spent two weeks in a very nice beach house....single rooms are generally over $75/night in
other hotels....1/2 hour from Zihuatanejo and its busyness...
Don't believe everything you think....

I prefer San Pancho/San Francisco. Haven't been there in 10 years though.

Thanks for your feedback, everyone! I was looking at the Hostel and Sayulita Beach House after I posted this question, so it looks like I have
identified the cheapest places and will decide from there. Thanks again!

As far as I know the sewage dumping into the river and then onto the ocean was fixed ......All Mexican beach towns or Palapa restaurants that have
banos do not have a sewer system, dig a hole, dump, leaches to the ocean, even San Pancho...

I was there a couple of months back, nothing but hippy gringos, if that's your thing then you will fit right in, otherwise San Pancho (San
Francisico)SI seemed a little better, but not much

That's too bad the stinking sewage is still polluting the bay at Sayulita. I would recommend Saladita and The Ranch over Sayulita any day. Plenty of
reasonable places to stay too.
Sayulita is too much the little surf town with a huge local muchachos surf team to deal with every session!!
We used to stay at (Tia)
Adriana's in Sayulita.

Just got back from my trip and stayed at the Hotel Posado de Roger in PV and the Sayulita Beach House - both were perfect for what I was looking for!
I'll post a trip report separately but wanted to say thanks for the excellent recommendations!
