It's a very nice hotel, three blocks away from the beach and one block away from the bus station (that you can use to go to nearby beaches or to get to Sayulita from, for example, Guadalajara. The pool is large enough and a great for when you're done with the beach. Sayulita's didn't impress me, but it ends un being a very nice place to relax.

The beach isn't great. Sayulita in general is dirty, but it's cool and relaxing. So a combination you have to try. For me it worked, I was happy, I got to get used to the place. From the hotel, front desk service could do better upon arrival. Then they are really nice.

Good sized rooms, nice & quiet area (5-10min walk to the main square), friendly staff. Beds not the comfiest but also not the worst.

The security door at night. When ppl return & don’t line the doors up it constantly clicks lousy until someone adjusts it. You can hear if from your room, woke us up (& kept us awake) a few times. Not what you want when you stay somewhere out of the square because you want silence. Think there’s a night watch person but he was often asleep when this happened & wouldn’t hear it. Pool is warm but to expected for a rooftop pool. Rooftop bar doesn’t open until 2:30pm

This boutique hotel is absolutely awesome! From the decor, to the staff, to the room, to the location, I could not be more impressed. Everything about this property feels just right, from the room accent lighting & amenities to the pleasant smell of the lobby. The staff really seems to care about their guests, and a lot of thought was put into the design of the rooms and common spaces, including the rooftop pool / bar area. If you can afford the 1 Bedroom King Suite, I strongly suggest this option, as a family of 4 could easily stay in this room for a couple of weeks. A stay in this room type is more like renting a condo than a hotel room, and the kitchen is huge! Ximena will forever be our go-to place for a fun get-away in charming Sayulita!

Nice location We had the Spacious 2 room/2 balcony unit

Although Ximena is new, there are parts showing poor upkeep and maintenance. For instance, the paint was starting to peel outside where our balcony was, the entryway plants are uncared for and the planters are only half full, no restaurant service even though there is one, rusting lounge chairs sitting in the pool water, a great bar area where the pool is, but no one was working behind the bar for the 3 days we used the pool

We loved our stay at Ximena!! The location is absolutely perfect, 5 minutes walk from the beach and the city center with many amazing restaurants. The staff was so helpful and extremely nice. The rooftop & bar made our stay perfect, we enjoyed many hours in and around the pool. Lastly, the rooms were so clean and luxurious with great WiFi, nice shower with soft towels and a great king size bed. Highly recommended!

We had a room on the street during our first night, but it was a little too noisy for us. My husband had a hard time sleeping through the cars and motorcycles driving by. Therefore we asked to switch to a room on the patio, which was much better! And the staff was very helpful

Located just across the road from the main bus stop, and just a short 10 minute walk to the main, buzzy square, and also a short walk to the beach, Ximena hotel is like a calm oasis, away from the hustle and bustle of Sayulita. The building is spotlessly clean, and rooms are very spacious. We had an issue in our room when we first arrived where one of the sinks was leaking. But we reported it and were immediately given another room instead, without any trouble. The shower is huge and very good, lovely toiletries provided too, which smelled gorgeous. There is lots of space for luggage in the room, and a nice fan plus AC to keep cool. We had a small balcony with a table and chairs, perfect for enjoying a morning coffee. A bottle of purified water is provided in the room, and there is a cold water dispenser in the main corridor which can be used to refill bottles, which was so handy. The rooftop pool was the highlight for us. So peaceful and relaxing to lounge up there away from the crowds, and enjoy the heated pool.

Only slight negatives were, the bed was a little hard, but that might be personal preference.

The room was modern and spacious. Was kept very clean throughout our stay. We loved the coffee and tea making facilities right outside our door plus the access to clean, cold water. The location was super convenient 3 min walk to the beach and 5 min walk into town. We used the rooftop pool frequently as was more refreshing than the ocean.

No complaints

I have absolutely nothing but amazing things to say about my 5-night stay at Ximena and will stay here every time I visit Sayulita moving forward. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, and everything about the room was 5 stars (comfortable bed and bedding, private porch, shower). The beaches, all the restaurants, and the center square are a max 3-block walk, making this the perfect location to escape from the noise and party in town.

Nothing. I travel 20+ times a year for work and leisure, and this was the most pleasant hotel stay I’ve had in years.

The room was beautiful with great amenities and very spacious. The hotel was definitely boutique with a faint/familial feel. The pool was cute with great views and plenty of seating to hang and work or relax. The staff was kind. I also liked that there was coffee/tea/water available in each hallway at most times of the day. And I liked that the shower (which was huge), toilet and sink were all separated by walls. I was alone but thinking about someone who is traveling in a pair or with friends would be able to have someone showering, someone doing makeup, and still have access to the restroom.

Location was a little “far” from the city center/hot happening part of Sayulita. Most things were closed by 10pm. The restaurant was never open, the only food available was guacamole (which wasn’t good) and the “bar” had no consistency in its open or close time. The bartender was nice but also not a great drink maker. So that part of the experience could definitely use work.

The hotel was beautifully decorated, clean, and welcoming. The rooms were a great size and had everything we needed. The facility was smaller, so it was never crowded and always quiet. The rooftop was large and had space to relax in the sun or shade, and swim in the pool.

The restaurant was't operating and the upstairs bar was rarely available for drink service. This didn't bother us much, since there were plenty of other restaurants around and we could bring our own beverages to the pool.
