“Absolutely beautiful, Awesome location, Relaxing!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 October 2011
3
people found this review helpful

Casa Blanca is right on the beach overlooking the bay! Your choice of beach or pool and the jungle is all around you. Lots of palm trees and beautiful flowers. There were 6 girls that rented the main house with the private pool and deck overlooking the Pacific. We had Alvaro do the grocery shopping for us and stocked our refrigerator for our arrival. We walked to town every day for dinner, shopping or a street taco. We took the boogie boards out in the ocean and had a great time. There is a scientist that is helping save the leatherback turtles and he is educating the Mexican people on not eating the turtle eggs. We watched him hatch the turtle eggs and then release them into the ocean later that day at sunset. Truly amazing.
If you want to relax on a beach and just plain chill out then this is the place for you! If you are low maintenance and understand that you are in a third world country then this is a 5 star resort for you.

Room Tip: Ask for a room that has a balcony with a "view" of the ocean.

“Relaxing place right on the white sand beach”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 October 2011

people found this review helpful

We liked it here. The rooms were nice and well-maintained with cable tv and a fully stocked kitchen. Comfortable and right next to the ocean, they have a nice large pool, and a hot tub on top of the hotel, which was really cool. The place was within walking distance of all the restaurants and stores, but it was far enough away to give you that feeling of being away from it all. There is a lovey beach right in front of it where you can go horseback riding for $25. The guy who works at the front desk is a little odd, and he kept screwing up our bill, but I do not think it was dishonest; I think he is just a bad accountant, lol. Other than that, the place was great.

“Perfect”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 April 2011

Casa Blanca is ideal! We went with a group of friends for a wedding, we all stayed there. It was so convenient for everyone. Right on the beach, each room had a kitchen with a couch, and two balconies. Beautiful. The wedding was on the beach in front of the hotel. The hotel is within walking distance of town, yet far enough away from the hustle. The staff was very helpful and the two pools were so fun. Los Afortunados is the best restaurant in town. We plan on returning to Sayulita and we will stay at the Casa Blanca every time!

Clean, nicely appointed, kitchen, ocean views, great pool & cabana, quiet location near the action. Good for young and old alike. Very pretty. We'll be back.

“Good and Bad but could be Incredible”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 February 2011
3
people found this review helpful

We come to Sayulita because we cannot stand all inclusive's and love the laid back nature of the town. We are not the type of people who need to be pampered or be waited on hand and foot. I also work in the airline industry travelling for a living and see a lot of hotels.

We stayed one week in the Suite A option.

There were good and bad things to Casablanca
The Good
*The location is fantastic. Right on the beach.
*The grounds are very well kept and beautiful.
*Great Pool
*The groundskeepers and cleaning staff are very nice and work very hard.
*Rooms are clean and nicely appointed.
*Security Guard on duty all night.

The Bad
*The management sucks. The owners son is apparently the manger and won't lift a finger to make your stay better. Not very welcoming and if you ask him for anything he yawns and acts very put out like your inconveniencing him. No hospitality what so ever.
*If you try to pay by credit card they act like you are the devil.
*While they advertise that they supply beach towels and umbrellas they forget to tell you about the deposit on EVERYTHING. $20 for each towel, $20 for umbrella, $30 for room keys and this must be CASH. Apparently they think you are going to steal everything.
*You have about 4 minutes of hot water. Seriously don't even think about a shower that lasts longer you will freeze.
*The manger lives next door and had a LOUD party until about 4am one night. Music cranked till all hours. No consideration for the guests in the hotel at all. 10 feet from the main house which was rented for $2800/week. They were not impressed.
*We were given a suite on the ground level when the same suites with ocean view were vacant for the week? Why not make a good impression on the guests you have?

All in all it wasn't a bad place but could be an amazing place with better management. I would get a house rental for the same price next time.
