The beach is way ample, nice sand and good that there aren't many beach sales people. Sunsets are great looking, very secluded if you wack few hundred meters south towards river Ameca, waves are not large and it's shallow so swimming in the ocean is possible. Downturn is that Vidanta keeps you "locked" in to consume only in their restaurants which are extremely expensive even compared to the US. Great place at for photoshots and family time!

Nice long beach with Puerto Vallarta in the back drop. Good place for sunset with a sandbar. The resort is also close and easy to access from here. Once on the beach the sand isn't the best and the amenities are limited. But it's just a nice large beach.

Awful, Awful, Awful experience. 23 pools but if you stay at the Mayan palace you can only go to 1 pool, happens to be the pool everybody goes to, even if they have access to all pools. In 7 days we could not sit within arms reach of our small children because every chair was taken by someone 60+ reading a book around the shallow kids pool. Cannot buy day passes for the kids to play at the kids centre, no lazy river, no water slide. First family vacation ever for my 5 and 7 year old kids and I have never been more dissapointed, we will not return to Vidanta EVER! I Will also share my experience with everyone I know so that other families do not spend money on a vacation and end up as dissapointed as us. In another 5 years, once we can afford a vacation again, we will go anywhere but here. VIDANTA YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES 💔

I wanna start off by saying that the grounds are beautifull, there's a lot of bamboo everywhere, it's so pretty I feel like it's easier to access everything at this Vidanta compared to the one in Cancun. Every worker we encountered during our stay was so nice and helpful, they deserve a raise! We stayed at the Grand Bliss and that lobby is so pretty. Every restaurant we ate at was delicious. Getting a taxi to go back and forth from the resort and the Malecon was super easy and inexpensive. The most we paid was like $45 but that's because there was 11 of us and we had to get a van. The only complaint I have is that the sheets smelled dingy, and I know it's because of the humidity. My Mom stayed at the Grand Mayan and she had the same issue. Maybe they need to stay in the dryer longer to get all the moisture out. We did not access the beach from the resort because the tide was so far and there's crocodiles. We saw one in the canal at the Malecon. And the day we went sailing we saw a shark...no thank you! I will admire the Puerto Vallarta Beach from a distance...lol. I recommend the resort, its family friendly and beautiful. There's so many activities do to if you don't want to venture out.

Resort had its good and bad. Lush greenery with excessive walking between pools, restaurants and other. We had a full paid vacation but once we began checking in they hard pressed us to do the time share presentation, once we declined the 2 bedroom condo we received had a great view (see attached photos). All and all it was a mediocre stay. We wouldn’t recommend.

Overall it’s a nice looking resort, but way too big for my liking. Check in was a nightmare, 4 hours, as our room wasn’t ready till 7:15pm. We were in an ocean view 2 bedroom for 14 nights in the Grand Mayan Copan. I’m not sure how many guests the resort holds, but I was told there’s 8000 employees and covers 3000 acres at Vidanta Nuevo Vallarta. There is a golf cart/bus service to take you from place to place on the resort, but it’s not real clear on which cart to take to what destination. The grounds are well kept. The rooms are good. The food is way over priced for the mediocre quality. It’s good, but no better than a lot of all inclusive resorts. I get the feeling that they believe if they charge more, people will think they’re getting more!! The food store on site is also way over priced as compared to off site, Mega, El Comer or Walmart. Being a non all inclusive resort, everything is cost plus. Example: to rent a boogie board at the beach is $300 pesos for 1 hour. To buy a boogie board at Walmart was $300 pesos. We bought at Walmart and left it behind when we left for home. With the resort being so large, to get off the resort is not easy or cheap. To take a taxi anywhere ($380 pesos minimum), and the only way to walk off the resort is via the beach to the north, which takes you to the marina where there are more reasonably priced Resteraunts. Now for the TIME SHARE presentation. They say it’s not a time share, but it’s a time share. They say it’s 1 hour, but it’s 4 hours. They start at $140,000 U.S. and after 3.5 hours they’re down to $5,000 for the same 2 bedroom. Of course there’s no maintenance fees, instead they charge $1,500 per week to stay there, once you bought??? Makes no sense to me, but time shares don’t make sense to me. Pay for a holiday you haven’t taken, nor may never take?? And we encountered the same rules here as other resorts which is: there are different rules for different people. We were told by security that we weren’t allowed to have our soft sided cooler on the beach or at the pools, yet there were people all around that had the same coolers. We were told to either take it to our room or they would confiscate it. Wow! Overall, it’s not a bad place, but for me I’d sooner be at a much smaller resort. I will not be returning to any of the Vidanta Resorts. PS: read some reviews on the Vidanta time share tactics and on going lawsuits in regards to the time shares, and if you still feel compelled to buy, GOOD LUCK!

We have been coming to the one in cancun for years. This year we decided to come to the one in puerto vallarta and the service has been horrible. All the employees are extremely rude. Servers are always with a mad face when you ask them for anything. They complain if you ask them to split the check. EXTREMELY RUDE STAFF.

Unprofessional staff, check-in process lied about free/discounts at the restaurants. Attended the presentation and they were upset we didn’t buy into the membership. We were denied our promised 7 night free stay for a later date. Janitorial staff was upset when we called to have the trash can exchanged. It had a strong, fishy odor that stunk the entire room. Overall not worth visiting. Entire place is runned down and they do not seem to want to re-invest. I’m sure staff is unpleasant and unprofessional due to their lack of compensation. Steer away from this place, there are plenty of other resorts worth staying at. Good luck!

Beach was lovely to hang out at all day. Service was great too.

A wonderful resort getaway with top notch amenities. Golf, relaxing, great food, and craft margaritas were part of the daily activities. The staff is warm and welcoming!

Nice place to stay and enjoy the mix of luxury and nature. One fellow said "This is like a Jurassic Park resort". Night Par 3 Golf, nice restaurants. Vidanta should take care of the cleaning of the walking path "outside of the property along the Ameca River" Please instruct the children to use their sandals when going to the sea, the sand is always hot, seeing children cry because their feet burn is not pleasant. Better photos of the resort in other reviews.

A friend and I stayed in the Grand Luxxe Tower #4 and it was EXCELLENT. Everything about the while property was more than we'd ever experienced. Now, unexpectedly, we own there and plan to enjoy different places to stay, while at Vidanta. We were there for hurricane Lidia (Category 4) and felt VERY SAFE. They do have a special shelter as well. The staff were always helpful and there are many projects going on. Even a theme park, pro golf courses, etc. Once on the Vidanta property, there is never sa need to leave. It's all there or they shop for what you need. It's MAGNIFICENT, so go and enjoy it!!!

Ah, let me regale you with the tale of my escapade to the resort of wonders, nestled in the bosom of nowhere! Picture this: a place so remote you'd need a map, a compass, and possibly a search party to find your way back to civilization. And once you arrive, oh dear traveler, prepare yourself for a rollercoaster of delights and disappointments! Firstly, let's talk transport. Forget about hailing a trusty Uber; here, we're at the mercy of the resort's chariots of extortion—er, I mean, taxis. And boy, do they know how to charge! It's like they've invented their own currency where instead of dollars, you pay in your firstborn child. Now, onto the check-in saga. You'd think they'd hand you a golden ticket upon arrival, but no! It's like a scavenger hunt for information. Want a map app? Too bad, you'll have to decode the secret message hidden in your room's wallpaper to find that gem. It's like they're playing a game of "hide and seek," and guess who's always it? Spoiler alert: it's you! And the perks! Oh, the promised perks! Complimentary drinks? More like complimentary disappointment. Discounts? Ha! You'll need a magnifying glass to find those. And don't even get me started on the sales pitch. It's like being stuck in a never-ending infomercial. "But wait, there's more!" they cry as you slowly lose the will to live. Let's not forget the logistical nightmare of trying to access those elusive discounts upon checkout. It's like trying to crack a safe with a toothpick. And speaking of hidden fees, remember those government charges? Yeah, they conveniently forgot to mention those until you're already knee-deep in debt. And don't even get me started on the prices! $450 pesos for a shot of Mark Wahlberg's tequila? Does it come with a personal serenade from the man himself? Because if not, I'll pass, thanks. And as if all that wasn't enough, they dangle the tantalizing temptation of a discounted timeshare in front of your weary eyes. But if you have to go through one ... choose Jose Luis. He was good. In conclusion, dear reader, if you're considering a trip to Vidanta Nuevo Vallarta, I suggest you pack your sense of humor, a sturdy pair of walking shoes, and possibly a therapist on speed dial.

i was there this week and it was amazing, the attention to detail is insane. If you get a chance book the Heart of the House tour its free but you have to book 3 months in advance it gives you an inside look at how the resort operates , they have tunels under the resort !!! the chocolate is all made there its just crazy i called it the hive because all the wqorkers are busy little antz all day long . You appreciate the service even more . The room at the grand luxxe was more than enough room for me and my girlfriend with a jacuzi and a balcony facing the ameca river with ocean views and a view of puerto vallarta. If you get a chance vist Vidanta world the theme park under construction but they have some of the park already open and its like 60usd per person but deff worth it amazing theme park rides and attractions , water and light show, and a amazing ritual show at sundown to say goodbye to the sun , just loved the entire experience , Cesar our guide was the best ive had at a tour and by far the best resort ive been to including in the US , the luxury and service in uncompared unless your a karen then yeah

Busy beach with many seaside restaurants and folks selling souvenirs. We enjoys a snack and drinks and watching surf for about about an hour. We enjoyed it, but that was about our max for saying know to the sellers. Good people watching, lots of activity. If you're looking for a relaxing beach, this isn't the one but it's lots of fun!

Actually a nice place to hang out but it’s ridiculous how dirty it gets. People leave the beach when it gets dark leaving their rubbish everywhere. Found used baby diapers 3 days in row at the beach.. I can’t unterstand why it it so difficult to many to just take your stuff with you.

Have to say, this is one of the biggest scams I encountered. Sayulita itself and the beach as the main point, are super dirty, noisy and full of rubbish. The beach isn’t walkable (many stone and also construction materials on the beach), there are beers cans and cigarette butts all around. There is literally sewage (“water treatment facility”) that is flowing in the middle of the beach and it smells. The reason you see/read such good “news” about Sayulita is because some people who work if the tourism industry here (surf shops, hotels, influencers, etc) publish great articles with photoshopped photos in specific angles, to make it like heaven on earth, so people like you and me will come to spend their money here. But once you come here, you will be super disappointed, though most of you already booked a flight and paid for a hotel, so you can’t absorb the financial damage and go somewhere else. So you will stay here for a few days, maybe a week, post some photos with filters and in an angle that can’t see the garbage, cause you want your Instagram “friends” to be jealous and play into this scam. But if you can, leave, or better don’t even come.

A bit rocky at places and crowded with chairs and parasols. It’s a great place for surf but it can also be crowded with surfers.

This surfing village is a great for surfer and watch the waves. Some waves get quite big. Swimming area isn’t so big and many people enjoys for high waves. North side is a bit rocky. Reserving beach chair is a bit pricy and it is a busy beach. The wave is definitely a big attraction here.

I didn’t have a lot of time to spend at this beach but took a quick stroll while checking out the town. The sand was soft and the beach was pretty clean and not too crowded. There was lots of vendors and places to eat.

This is a great "local feel"beach and our family loves it here. We like to stick to the northeast part of the beach past the mouth of the Sayulita River. Past the river the crowds thin out and its easy to find a place to just plop down in the sand and watch the day go by. Be sure to learn about rip currents before swimming here, or else talk to the lifeguard and ask what you need to be aware of. The rip currents here are frequent and fairly strong. If the tide is out the rocks are full of little tide pools with lots of life to check out. Once you have enjoyed the sunset head into town for a great dinner and really fun shopping.

It is a small surf town with a rustic environment. The reviews could be the equivalent of the saying "if the music is too loud you may be too old". I went 30 years late but enjoyed a sunny day.

Nice enough beach, but when we visited in October, at the end of the rainy season, we found that there was a significant amount of trash in the water and on beach. Water also had more sediment and wood - probably due to recent rains. Not as well kept as Puerto Vallarta. Beach chairs are for rent and do not come with a minimum spend from the restaurants. The town is lovely.

It's an OK beach. The waves are nice but during the holidays it gets very busy and dirty. There's also a river that flows through town and empties onto the beach. Not so much when it's the dry season, but it smells like sewage and should be avoided.

If you’re a pirate you might like this beach. Super hippy, very local, the beach has a lot of rubbish. Be careful where you swim because the city river runs right into the beach bringing lots of waste. Cool live music everywhere. Very hippy, young, surfer kind of beach. The water was not great for swimming as it is very powerful and better for surfing. The beach sand is also very rocky and gravelly. Fun for a day. Might not be for everyone.

Consistent waves. Not really beginner friendly unless you book lessons. La Lancha has smaller waves that are more beginner friendly with surf board rentals at $30/day! Book online!

We went with our two children. It was a very enjoyable experience. The trainers were engaged and helpful and the dolphin experience was just magic. The kids loved it. One thing to know, the photos are pushed pretty strongly and they’re..: inordinately expensive.

Dolphin experience- I contact the company directly and got a better deal. I would suggest that. In addition, I had already seen a lot of people complaining about the cost of the photos; so when i checked in and the lady offered $90 for a package I was sold! In addition we were the only ones in the group that took family photos, which made us stick out, but also felt smarter because we didn’t have just individual photos. It’s about being smart when you book excursions like these 😉. Everyone was super friendly through the park. My daughter got scared at one point and just sat on the sidelines, but because the photographer knew we got the package beforehand she took extra photos with my daughter in it. The trainer was super friendly and accommodating to her fears and the group of people we were with, were also encouraging to her: it was a great experience over all. Other stuff at the park- You should note that if you get the dolphin package, you should remember to do the other activities you get free with it; like zip lining because I didn’t pay attention to the last ride, and we missed out on it. My kids; ages 10-12 had fun going down the slides with the tubes. It was over all a wonderful experience and worth it. Storage locker - You have to put a $50 peso deposit in cash, but they will take any denomination $50 and above and mark it in east their book. It is fully refundable once you return the key; so essentially the locker rental is free.

It was very nice to be with these cute dolphins but very limited. The ride was only few seconds! The waterpark itself is very old and out of date! the standard is treble! there is a concrete island in front of the slides! The pool for one of the almost vertical slides is very shallow and my daughter came down with head but she was very lucky not hitting the head to the pool floor. overall it is so so to spend that money for waterpark.

Beautiful day and place for the family! Aqua adventures is the best place better than "splash" we done both but Aqua is so good by far they're food is great and prices for club 🥪 and Hamburgers 🍔 are 5$ to $7 dls that's actually beers are 2$ dls a good deal for a water park or any theme park.

It was a wonderful experience with the dolphins, the trainer was great with our group. My only caution is we were told our picture package would be around $100 USD come home to find it was charged over $300, we are currently seeing if the company can/will do anything to fix it and I will adjust my rating accordingly.

The dolphin experience was fun. They were very accommodating to our 6 year old who injured himself the prior day and was advised to stay out of water due to his injuries. They made the experience special for him too. We really appreciated that. My complaint is that we spent a lot of money on a picture package and yet I haven't received the email with the pictures. They told us 24 hours but that was July 4th and still no pictures. So I have to sort that out yet. They also decided to take a picture with a sea lion which of course wasn't part of the almost $200 I spent on a picture package. I felt annoyed by that with the amount I spent and they wouldn't slip in 1 more picture. We didn't use 2 of the 4 free lunches because as an adult I didn't care for a hot dog or pizza, so they really made money off of us. Only my husband and daughter used the Waterpark as my son couldn't. Overall good experience but I am still upset about this picture situation.

Reviews of this facility are skewed. It is aged, run down, and badly in need of renovation or decommission. Half the attractions are closed and there are severely sun-faded advertisements throughout the park telling you what a great time you should be having. It's just weird. The dolphins are not wild, and their habitat is small and sad. Two to three hours in the park is all that most adults will be able to tolerate.

It was the most amazing time of my life. The Dolphins are very well trained and passive they're no threat at all. It was pretty amazing to be in the water such a big animal. The Dolphins were very gentle and treated all of us with a lot of respect. I was amazed on how strong they were in the water. They pulled us through the water as if it was nothing. I definitely recommend this to anyone that goes to Puerto Vallarta. Like I said it was the most amazing time of my life.

We had a fabulous experience swimming here with the dolphins! The kids loved it and so did the adults. The photos the photographer took are fabulous, but be aware you have to purchase a photo package as you can't bring your camera.

My husband and I had so much fun with their horse ride at sunset. We absolutely loved it. The horses were well trained and calm, the guides were great (especially Carlos!), and they took great photos for us at the beach. Absolutely loved walking down the authentic streets of Mexico, too. We highly recommend it!

Ruben and team were awesome! RZR tours in the Forest, mud, rivers and Sayulita! So cool! Stopped for pics and drinks along the way. Great day!!

Our family of 6 had a great time here. 2.5 hours of zip line with Ruben Fish and amigos. A short - 30 minute - break to eat and use the restroom, then 2 hours of horseback riding through Higuera Blanca, jungle, to the ocean and back with Pedro. Fernando the photographer went on both trips with us and was spectacular. Could not have asked for a better time, with better people. Many, many thanks 🙏.

Absolutely love this place. We were 2 adults and 2 kinds, 9 and 11. We did the horse tour which was absolutely fantastic. Our group was all different levels and our tour guide Ricardo was very friendly and provided an excellent experience for all of us from jungle, to town to seaside riding…. But that wasn’t all. The actual place was super cute and had different animals that were all well taken care of. All the staff were extremely friendly. Would definitely recommend and come back again.

Horseback ride with Pedro was the highlight of our vacation. He was so calm and confident with the horses. He made our ride the most enjoyable. I would highly recommend.

Highly recommend checking out their services. I did the Hiking Monkey Mountain and the staff were as wonderful as the views from the top! The facilities are spacious and accommodating. Charming restaurant on site. Lockers available to store your stuff.

Not only was this place beautiful and spacious, but the zip lining was so much fun and the staff are so friendly! Zip lines felt safe and were well worth it! Enjoying tacos with a tequila tasting after were a fun treat after too. The estate is full of life, with a variety of animals and so much color. So happy with our visit and will definitely be returning next time we’re in town!

We visited this excursion while here on vacation. The facilities are so beautiful and well maintained. Lots of birds and animals throughout the small park. The zip lining staff was so knowledgeable, so professional, and so fun. It was our first time zip lining, so I was nervous, but they calmed my fears easily because I could tell we were in safe hands. The zip lining views were incredible!!! After, they have a Tequila tasting that was lead by a very joyous young man who made it so fun. I would HIGHLY recommend this adventure group for your excursions.

Carlos is a legend. Best horseback riding ever!!! I hate touristy things but this horseback riding experience was top notch. Ride through the jungle and then on the beach 🏖️

Absolutely one of the best places we have visited in Nayarit. The pickup spot was not far from where we stayed about 30min uber ride...the driver was really good he was there before our time (30 mins earlier). They had great customer service, and they greeted you once you got off the van. They show you around, and they explain everything to you. They have games for the kids to play while you wait... They have different animals you can see while walking around exploring. They have restrooms and a restaurant. They also have tequila tasting and different activities like ATV...zip line... horseback riding, and the place is beautiful. We had a private horseback riding tour, which was one of the most amazing experiences my husband and I could have. We left from the ranch they took us into the mountains... into a small town, and then we finished off racing our horses at the beach. I wish I could remember my Cowboys name but he had a pretty difficult name to remember it was really unique and different but he was amazing gave us good instructions gave us information about the town about the horses the beach and surrounding areas. Our cowboy was actually born and raised in the small town he took us into, which was a different but beautiful experience. His tour was definitely a 5 star. Everyone at the ranch spoke English and Spanish. The food at the ranch was absolutely delicious. My husband's not a fan of seafood, and he even loved it. If you're looking for a nice quiet place to spend quality time with your family, this is definitely the place you want to come to.

Spiterman and Freddy were excellent guides and their attitudes are awesome. They kept everything safe and at the same time fun and exciting. Summertime is hot, so if you go then, be prepared to sweat and get just a little bit of exercise on one specific trail. Everyone at the ranch was incredibly friendly and helpful. From the moment we drove onto the property they were directing us to park under the trees in the shade. The check-in and pay process was simple and easy, too. Get the picture package and leave the photos to their on-site photographer. We only did ziplines on this trip, but we'll back to do more the next time we visit Punta de Mita. Thanks for a great time guys!

Best team! We were so lucky. Our team included Pepe & Naff, they were quick to respond to any incident and were very informative with how to use the quads for the newbies. They showed us beautiful scenery and had a great sense of humor! Highly recommend this resort.

Super fun. Friendly staff. Although the slides were deteriorating a bit, what do you expect with the weather here. Slides were so much fun, the ones that were open. Great experience with dolphins. Not everything was open, but they are still dealing with this pandemic as everyone else I'm sure. Good place to check out.

Nor really worth it. Not safe for the kids. Not well maintained. I guess for 70 dollars you may at least do a new painting yearly to make it look attractive. The dolphin show was short but not bad. Kids' attractions stairs are concrete and steel as in the pic which makes them completely unsafe. I left early because it was really boring.

A little run down but lots of fun! Check the ages on the slides and make sure you bring extra clothes for the rock climbing, and zip lining because you can't be wet. You also need closed toe shoes for some activities. They also didn't announce the dolphin or sea lion show, so we missed them. The ground going into the lazy river is super slimy, but it wasn't crowded and was very relaxing. They seemed short on staff so a few slides weren't open, but my kids had a blast.

Went for the dolphin experience and the park was included, as well as the zip line, challenge and lunch. Not too busy and a nice way to spend a few hours. Lockers are provided to store belongings.

The water park was ok. It's not amazing and not all out bad. We got free tickets to this place. We were there when they opened at 11 am. Not many people were there, but they got busier as the day progressed. The place needs some work, and the lazy river had stuff floating in it as it got busier. I believe it was algae?? There are 10 slides, I believe. Several were not open at 11am but opened later in the day. It was a bit unorganized when it came to one operator running 4 slides. Kind of a line, but people were jumping in front. Disorganized, and the operator at this particular spot didn't speak English, so it was hard to communicate other than just pointing. Lots of kid birthday parties in the reserved areas. Dolphin show (which is about 15 mins) was cool. The food was ok, not great. The water in all attractions got really warm as the day progressed. We left at about 3pm as the water was just too warm (mid-July), almost hot tub warm. It was fine for a one-time, free afternoon. But, I definitely wouldn't want to blow a day of vacation if I was only here for 5 to 7 days. *Note, we are probably a bit spoiled and have a higher bar as we are from California, where there are some really nice, huge water parks.

We had an amazing time with the dolphins. No personal camera is allowed, so if you want pictures you have to purchase the picture package in advance. We did the medium priced package which was a lot of fun. Thanks to the other reviewer I called to book and saved $200 compared to the website prices. You have access to the water park after. Is it the safest thing…. no, so use your best judgment on which rides to use or not use. This was a great day away from the resort to mix it up and have an experience like non-other!

It is a great place to take your family. The slides are fun. If you have the means, I definitely recommend swimming with the dolphins.

My family and I went there for a few hours while our ship was at port. General slide entry was approximately $25 usd for myself, husband and daughter. We were told that their zipline was closed when we called. Also, we were told we did not need reservations or purchase tickets online all in a courteous manner in Spanish. They have several tube slides, open air slides, 5ft pool, kiddie splash, lazy river, zipline, sealion & dolphin experience, restaurant, snackbar, bar, and gift store. We were extremely pleased with all amenities which were clean; lockers, bathrooms, dressing rooms, showers. Our waiter Ricardo was very courteous and friendly. We paid about $3 usd for soda and ice cream. I would recommend if you are looking for a fun experience for children and families. This is Mexico, so if you don't like to see roaming cats this park is not for you. fyi since we were coming from a ship at Port we were told our taxi driver would honor the rate we paid to get there. So we did not need to negotiate taxi rate. This may differ for anyone coming from another destination.

Is great for the dolphin but the facility need to be clean and touch up in paint. It feel ghetto place. Definitely an upgrade will be awesome have everyone clean the areas and organize the equipment they are not using.

The park was fine. During the low season (August) on a weekday it was not very crowded. Some slides didn't work but working ones were fun. On the slides you can feel the seams with your back (that's quite usual). Shoes (including water shoes) are not allowed on the slides. You can hold them, put them in the handles of your tube, or leave downstairs. We ended up just putting them in the locker. You can rent a locker at the store about 50 yards to the left from the entrance. We had to wait in line at check-in for about 15 minutes despite having the tickets bought in advance. The QR code was not enough for them, they wanted the confirmation number from the email.

Very old and not maintained for the extermerly expensive experience we had.they charge alot just to have the photos. They asked you to pay 2400 and if you don't take the deal, then they ask you to pay 2800 for four people after the tour is done or 600 for just one photo. Really taking advantage of the tourist.

The dolphin experience was wonderful. The staff was great and the pictures were phenomenal. Having access to the water park was nice however about half of the sides were closed. Food was decent but nothing special. We did have fun on the rides that were open though and everyone was very friendly.

Dolphin experience was worth the time and the cost. The Waterpark makes a family adventure last all day. Very memorable day out!

Would we go here again? Sure! We came here because we were on a cruise. We found that booking directly from its website was half the cost than from the cruise line. Yes, there's a possibility that we could be left if we didn't get back to the ship in time, but it was such a long port day that we weren't worried. We found an Uber to get us there from the cruise terminal. It took 20 mins, and It was about $15 for 6 people to get there. We were pleasantly surprised that our tickets included lunch. We couldn't pick from their full menu with it, just a cheese hamburger, hot dog, chicken nuggets, or a salad. It came with a drink. It was something to hold us over until we left to find tacos! We booked the sea lion experience. Dolphins are great, but sea lions are just fun and hilarious. Sea lions don't get enough credit, and we were the only ones in the group! We got to meet and interact with Diego and Popeye. Diego is a sweet young sea lion who was very gentle with our kids. All the interaction with Diego and kids were done on land because the sea lions get close and personable. They would knock the kids out in the water while giving them a kiss. Popeye is a bigger sea lion. All of us in our party got to pet Popeye as he swam numerous times by us. The adults were then able to get the same experience as the kids by sticking our tongues out, opening our mouths with the sea lion, and getting a great big kiss! This was done with pictures that cost 5,400 in pesos. That is about $320 US. That is ridiculous since we can't bring phones/cameras in. That's how they make their money. They won't haggle with you. After our fun with Diego and Popeye, we spent a couple of hours in the water park. It's a little run down but still very fun.

Had a blast! Great experience dolphin swimming and being guided by the one and only Monkey D. Luffy aka Emanuel lol. Great guy super informative and made the experience unforgettable. Will definitely recommend this place.

If you want a change of scenery and somewhere to cool off, this offered it. Book online 24 hours in advance to save around $5 pp, otherwise its $25usd per 13+person. Its tired and rusty in some spots but our teen loved it.

Had a great time here yesterday. Mid week was not busy at all. We went for the dolphin experience, and it was incredible. The trainers and animals have a great working relationship, and the animals are well cared for and seem happy. We stayed for the waterslides and had fun the rest of the day. Even adults have a blast here! The waterslides were open on a rotating schedule, and kept us having fun all day. The tube slides were the best. We also enjoyed many trips around the lazy river. There is a younger kids water park, zipline, and aerial terrain park that our kids weren't interested in. We ended the day with a sea lion show. One drawback was the limited meals with the food vouchers- it was just deep fried American food. We've already recommended this place, and would love to come back for all the aerial activities.

Will never go back. Entire property needs several updates, and you will need to bring your own towels. The food and drinks are very below average. Do yourself a favor and stay far away.

It is a good place to spend the day we the kids. The food is not good in the snack area. The bar seems to have a better menu. The pool and slides are clean but in general it needs maintenance, there is rusted pipes, things than need pain etc. A good reno is needed. If you take pictures at the park with the dolphins the picture packages are IMO extremely expensive, they abuse the fact that you want the pictures so be prepare to pay or live without the pictures of your memories. I don't think this is fair since they do not advise of this in advance. I'm not sure if there something similar in PV but I will advice to try another park.

Nice beach to come to, less people to relax and enjoy with family and friends. You can rent the chairs or bring your own. You can rent a golf cart to get here but you can also walk from the hotel area, it's about 12 minute walk. You will have to pass the cemetery to get here, you'll know it's the right way. You can eat, drink and relax at this place. If you're in the area, make this one of your stops.

Our favorite spot in Sayulita. You can rent two chairs and an umbrella for 300 pesos and have food and drinks delivered to you all day long. Beautiful beach, close to town and perfect if you want to swim and do not surf (which is our case) - lots of locals and families, we loved it !

Great beach that is worth the effort to get here. Less crowded than main beach. Lots of shade and palm trees. This place looks exactly like what you think about when you think "tropical beach".

This beach feels like a private beach because it's between 2 rock formations. It feels very exclusive, the water is so beautiful, & warm. When I went there, there was not a lot of people. It doesn't get too crowded. At least not when I was there. There's a row of umbrellas with chairs, & you can rent them out for $300 pesos & you can also get seafood & drinks taken to your spot. I loved this beach. It was my favorite spot in Sayulita. I can't wait to go back. I miss the sound of the ocean waves & how peaceful the environment is. It was heavenly.

I feel silly for never having explored this little beach until a recent visit. Exceptionally clean and not crowded, with privacy to be found as well. Expensive but necessary beach bar at the entrance. Cute walk there too. Parking for 50 cents if you drive.

Beach was a good walk in Sayulita and literally have to walk through a cemetery to access the beach, hence the name Playa de los Muertos. Be prepared to pay in order to get some shade beneath your head. Restroom, which also you need to pay, were not desirable at all. So if you have kids, take a note of that. Beach was awesome though, not rocky and could walk pretty inwards.

Great alternative to the busy main beach in Sayulita. It’s a beautiful area with a sandy beach with a dedicated swim area that is surrounded by rock outcroppings.Short golf cart ride from town or a 15-20 minute walk, follow the bay around to the beach. It’s 100 pesos to park a golf cart or car, you have to pay to use the port o potty, there is also an area before the beach where you can buy beverages and snacks. The cemetery is very unique and colorful.

Small, lovely and quiet beach. There is a lifeguard and umbrella rentals available. It was not crowded and free of beach vendors. If walking, the dirt road goes through a small cemetery thus, the explanation of the beach name.

A short walk from Sayulita you'll find this beautiful beach. The white sand beach has a roped off designated swimming area, but be mindful of the tides as the current might be too strong for novice swimmers. There are rocks framing both sides of the beach with lush vegetation filling in behind the beach heading back inland. Friendly vendors walk the beach. If you're in the mood for shrimp 🦐, a cool drink 🍹, or donuts?! 🍩, they have you covered. If you forgot your umbrella and chairs, or just don't want to bring your own, you're in luck! You can rent a spot right on the waters edge. Otherwise just set up wherever, just be respectful of folks who arrived before you 😉. There are two primary ways to get to the beach. Google Maps will show you both, depending on how you plan to approach. For most people it's easiest to approach from Sayulita on foot. Walk the waterfront of the main beach, past the fishermen and follow the road until you get to the small hill up to the (beautiful) cemetery. Just follow the hill down and you can see the beach from there. If you want to drive, there is paid parking (Mex$100).

Defenetly the best beach from Sayolita. Bring your beers and snacks, you have there some vendors also. How you get there? Revolution street, make a right and keep the coast till villa amor, after that make a left next to the cemetery and down to the beach! Lovely place for pictures, good shade, nice people all around and the water is nice and clean...also the beach!
