TRAVELING TO SAYULITA

Flights arrive daily to Puerto Vallarta (PVR). It is important to note that this time of year is high season for travel to Sayulita, so we highly recommend booking your flights ASAP. Allie + Sandro will arrive on Monday, October 30th and will be staying through November 8th. Come for 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 nights or whatever floats the umbrella in your drink. We understand that not everyone will be able to join us for the entire week but a weekend in Sayulita is well worth the travel.

THINGS TO KNOW:

  • In the world of booking flights, it is generally thought that prices are best on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. 
  • Note for San Francisco Guests: There are only two airlines that fly non-stop from San Francisco to PVR.  Those are United Airlines and Alaska Airlines. These flights tend to be more expensive but are well worth the convenience.
  • Check Kayak.com for smokin' deals and setup price alerts for price drops. 

Time Zone: 

Sayulita is conveniently located in the Central Time Zone. 

PASSPORTS

Please make sure those passports are renewed! For flights to and from international destinations, including Mexico, government regulations require the use of a passport for entry into, and exit from the United States for U.S. Citizens as well as foreign visitors.

from the airport

We recommend taking a Taxi: Sayulita is a 40-minute drive north of Puerta Vallarta International Airport (PVR) by taxi. The cost is around $50USD.

Rent a car: If you want to explore beyond Sayulita, you'll want to rent a car. But if you plan on staying in the heart of town, Sayulita is a very walkable town and a car may be a waste. The walk from the north end to the south end of town is about 20 minutes, with the main square located in the center of town. Taxis are common and easy to catch in the town square, or you can call for a pickup from your house. When we were there, we never found the need for a car

Rent a golf-cart: If you don't stay in the heart of town, you might find yourself up a hill or two. Golf carts are the most common mode of transportation within the town and can be rented for $50 USD per day here: http://www.sayulitalife.com/pacificcoast

Safety in Sayulita

Sayulita is well known for its crime-free streets. It is safe to walk around at all hours. Please, however, exercise normal travel precautions by locking up any valuables when leaving your room.

Money Exchange // ATM’s

There are several ATM’s at the airport and in Sayulita but before you go, be sure to notify your bank and credit card companies that you will be using your cards in Mexico. Visa or Master Card is more widely accepted than American Express, but some restaurants in Sayulita do not accept credit cards.

You can exchange your money for pesos at the airport, but expect to get a poor rate of return. There is also an ATM machine near the airport entrance. Sayulita has several money exchange places, the rate is generally better here than at the airport.

What to Pack

Sayulita is hot and a little humid at the beginning of November. Many locals told us this is their favorite time of year with mid 80's days and mid 70's nights. The town has cobblestone streets, so it is best to pack flat sandals or sandals with low-stacked heels. Sneakers are also an option, especially if you plan on taking advantage of nature hikes during your visit. In the evenings, the temperature tends to drop slightly, so be sure to pack a sweater or lightweight jacket, just in case. Because of the humidity, we recommend packing breathable fabrics like linen and cotton clothes. Don’t forget sun protection including sunscreen, sunglasses and a hat.

Our wedding will be at a private villa with flat, concrete floors so heels are welcome! As long as you're prepared to dance your face off.
