First off I will say that the staff were warm and friendly, everything was clean and we felt very safe here. We wanted to like this place so badly. We opted to stay in one of their ''luxury yurts.'' It was very nice and well-equipped. The problem we had seems to predominatly only effect the eco yurts which are located... More

Me and my friend stayed there for 2 nights on a 2 bed bungalow. Our plan was to stay in Junto al Rio for 2 nights then head off to Punta Mita. We were coming from Guadalajara so we made the trip from Guadalajara to Vallarta to Sayulita. We arrived Junto at Rio at like 1pm and the manager was... More

I was there in June 2010 and took my two teenage boys and daughter. All I can say was that the place was great because of its rustic decor, its kitchen facilities, and its cleanliness. The sewage issue had long been fixed. The owner and his wife were super cool and I want to go back.

My boyfriend and I stayed here in February, in the 'Mangle' suite, a duplex type building right on the sand. It had two comfy beds, a simple restroom, and a small fridge, hot plate, and sink so you could prepare small meals in your room. It was clean and we loved it! We came to Sayulita mostly for the surf,... More

This place is really amazing...I can't understand any of the negative ratings. This has been our second time at the Junto al Rio. I can highly recommend it to everybody. At nighttime you can hear the ocean. In the morning you wake up with all the birds in this oasis. The entire place is very clean and the staff is... More

I had read all the mixed reviews before booking and decided to go for it because of the beach front location. I managed to cancel the 3rd night and received a full refund. We, my husband and my 8 year old son, stayed in the mangles suite and the room was terribly small, with almost no space for using the... More

My partner and I, our twenty year old son and his buddy, spent a week at Junto al Rio just last week. I fell in love with the place and we all had a great time. I give a rating of three stars because I am rating the facilities not our experience. These are definitely rustic quarters. If they were... More

Unfortunately, it is impossible to escape the fact the the sewage treatment plant aerator is only a few yards away from the Junto al Rio property. Even when the sewage treatment plant is operating properly, you WILL smell the odors at various times depending on the direction of the breezes. Our second floor "suite" (Almendro #2) was particularly vulnerable. I... More

We are a pair of women who stayed at Junto al Rio once before & are on our way back there this spring. We loved the palapa bungalows & the hammocks under the trees. We bought tamales from a vendor who walked right by the place & we loved walking 5 minutes to the town centre for fun and surfing.... More
