HI
all in all the place is good but different from my last stay.

There were a few issues. Initially I was placed in a noisy room but the room change was accommodated the next day. . The TV in the second room did not work and I could not get streaming. Thankfully I had a computer.

The restaurant area was great, they were pleasant and the breakfast was good, albeit with a minimal menu.

The pool area was lovely.

Unfortunately the front office staff was aggressive and told me that my daughter and her husband could not visit me in my room, and were not welcome at the pool area. One of the reasons I chose this hotel is the proximity to where thay live.

This made for a very uncomfortable situation. I get that in high season with a busy pool area that they should not be at the pool area, however we were the only ones there.

It is a lovely place and this experience was significantly jaded by the front office staff.

We were staying at a place in Sayulita that turned out to be a poor fit for us. My wife found this hotel, and Avela was able to get a room for us for the last two nights of our visit. Daniel and his team at the front desk, and the restaurant, were tremendous. Very friendly and super helpful. They even allowed us the use of the pool for a couple of hours after we checked out, and before our ride to the airport showed up. Very accommodating, the rooms were great, much appreciated!

Daniel and Ama were very great and gave good recommendations for around town. Our room was clean and spacious, the breakfast was great, and best of all was the pool area. I do recommend having a golf cart while there, but they can assist with rentals and there’s enough parking/chargers. Overall great stay and would recommend!

We have stayed at this hotel many, many times but each time we visit it gets worse and worse. During this visit the hot water did not work and we had to endure cold showers. We were assured it was fixed, it wasn’t.
The pool was absolutely filthy (nothing like in the photos where it looks crystal clear).
It is full of old bugs and all kinds of things at the bottom of the pool. I even saw a black water beetle swimming about!!!!
It's cloudy and gross. I would never get in it.
It's starting to get very run down, very little amenities (no microwave, no kettle, tiny little tv)

It certainly is not a 4 star hotel imo.
We used to be loyal customers. Having no hot water and the pool being so filthy was the final straw. We won't be back.

So many things to say about this place:

Gorgeous hotel, great pool, amazing food, friendly staff.

Things to keep in mind: the rooms are on the ground floor which I can appreciate are a safety issue for some solo travellers. There is no dinner service here BUT the town is 5 mins away and has amazing restaurants.

Very tourist friendly and yet you feel like a local. Will be staying here again for sure.

We stayed here for 8 days and felt right at home. The location is super convenient to walk into town, but if you’re not up for walking, they’ll arrange golf carts for your stay. Staff can also arrange in room massages, which were so nice after a morning surf session.

The staff are super friendly and attentive. We had a few incidents (not due to the hotel) and the staff was always there to help us and go out of their way to make sure we were good.

Property is really quiet. We had great sleep and pool was super to chill during the day. Some nights some neighbors would play music really loud, but only for an hour or so.

Rooms are simple and clean.

Only negative — If you have a rental, parking on property is limited/tight. Be careful backing out of the garage.

All around will definitely be back :)

Great stay..but

Always a lovely time here but when you have very drunken Americans sitting drinking by the pool all day and bought it gets very, very loud indeed. Perhaps look at some better soundproofing of doors. Also stop them slamming so hard.
The staff are absolutely charming as always. So very helpful and kind. It's a little off putting though that there is no staff on site at night. What happens in an emergency??

Avela for the WIN!! Lovely stay!

Our stay at Avela was AMAZING!! This was our first trip to Sayulita and we fell in love! It was such a cute little beach town with such a laid back vibe.... You can literally forget about all your cares or worries, and just ENJOY your time there. And the Avela property is removed enough from the heart of town so that it is very quiet and peaceful, yet still within walking distance. They are literally able to take care of all of your needs there -- they have meal service, a great pool area, golf cart rentals, etc... Daniel was so friendly and accomodating. He helped with anything we needed, they even took care of our laundry needs for a very reasonable price, and offered additional services if needed (if you need a ride somewhere, they'll arrange it. If you want massages in your room, they'll arrange it, etc.) Breakfast each morning was a treat. We will definitely be back and recommend to others. Thank you again!!

Avela Boutique Hotel was an absolute gem! From the moment we arrived, Daniel, the hotel manager, was incredibly helpful and made sure we had everything we needed. The hotel is a peaceful oasis, just a short walk from the main town, and the beautiful pool was the perfect spot to relax. The complimentary breakfast was a great bonus, and the entire staff was friendly, professional, and always ready to assist.

I highly recommend renting a golf cart through the hotel if you want to explore further into Sayulita or visit other nearby beaches. Our room was modern, spacious, clean, and had a secure safe with a key. One unique touch I loved was the selection of cute jewelry for sale in the lobby! The hotel also arranged taxis for us to visit nearby towns, which made exploring so easy.

I can't rave enough about the hotel—it was so peaceful. I highly recommend a stay here and would absolutely return! Thank you for the wonderful vacation.

My stay at Avela Boutique was very pleasant. The room was very clean, comfortable and the ac worked amazingly well! If you need a quiet place to stay this is the place for you! The best part for me staying at this Hotel was definitely the service and the attention the staff gave to me. For the first time in my life I was traveling somewhere by myself due to this I nervous and worried about where I was staying. I felt so safe thanks to the staff especially Danny he was awesome made me feel at home! Danny provided everything I needed, food, drinks, rides. I didn't feel alone thanks to the staff! The area around is so, so but it didn't matter because I felt totally safe! I would stay again and I do recommend this hotel! 👌

Water was cut off a couple of times during our 4 night stay. Unfortunately these things happens but the pool area is very nice. Overall properly lacks personality a bit. The breakfast is too late at 8:30. Would be better if they at least offered coffees earlier than that. We went out to get coffee every morning. Not a bad place overall but the boutique is a bit of a stretch. The staff were lovely though and I can’t fault them for anything.

Not value.

Positioned away from the noise of the main town, on a quite road. The staff are helpful, friendly. Easy walk to the action.
1) no bed side lights... only light in bedroom are two bright overhead lights, and you have to get out of bed and lean over the fridge to switch off or walk to the door. Staff said \"well he thinks something is wrong because all the other rooms have bedside lights\"
2). The safe - it's there, batteries were flat. Staff fiddled,, then said it was broken, I wasn't to worry because they had never had an incident. That's great, until something does happen, I asked if they could take care of my valuables, after realising I had quite a lot of cash, they declined. Note, upon leaving the hotel, the lock on the gate was sticking, rather a large, serious looking lock, and the gentlemen said yes... for security!
3). Room wasn't serviced... not sure if that was made clear in the listing, but It's kind of a minimum expectation in these \"boutique\" hotels.
4). Hot water, or rather NO hot water. Staff firstly explained that the hot water had to come from the other side of the hotel... you know... silly engineers. The amount of water that was wasted while we waited for the hot water (that never arrived) to arrive was criminal.

I have the feeling the staff KNOW about all these problems but continue to take bookings, and are providing less than promised. Pity... otherwise loads of potential.

I believe we were over charged. I paid $1723 Canadian Dollars for what was supposedly $1162 USD. I stayed in PV the following 4 days at a hotel basically the same price and was charged almost $200 less on my card. No hot water for 4 days and every time I asked about it I was told that everyone else had hot water. I wouldn’t stay here again. The property is off the beaten path. The price bothers me.

My husband and I stayed at this lovely hotel for almost two weeks and we did not want to leave!! We debated whether we should stay closer to the beach, but once we saw how loud it was in Sayulita we were so thankful for the peace and solitude of this hotel. It was the perfect respite after touring through the city all day. We would come back to the hotel at about 3:00 and just relax at the pool until evening. All of the other guests were friendly and respectful and from all over the world. The owners were extremely warm and friendly. Very professional and made sure that we had everything we needed. The food at the hotel is incredible! We ate breakfast at the hotel every morning and it was our favorite meal. The coffee is also delicious. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. I loved the private balcony and the huge showers. The entire facility is beautifully designed down to every last detail.

It was a short walk to the town and there was a small hill. I think the hotel has golf carts you can use as well. We actually loved the walk though and petting the little chihuahuas along the way. It was fun to be a part of the neighborhood. :)

They helped us set up a cab to the airport and for pickup. Just know that traffic from Puerta Vallarta is AWFUL so you may have to wait a bit for them to arrive. It’s worth the wait! We mistakenly cancelled when they weren’t at the airport and then paid way too much for the cab to Salyulita, just be patient, We HIGHLY recommend this hotel!
