Beautiful but Dangerous

Cancion Del Mar and La Cacita are beautiful. They are both well decorated and the views are amazing, especially from the top floor of a Cancion Del Mar.
The one thing I do want to emphazise is the fact that it's situated on the very top of a mountain, literally in the jungle, and there are three set of long steep, slippery stairs. There were scorpions in the shower, crabs, moths & bugs everywhere a light was on after dark, and the airconditioners in every room were loud. The view, cleanlyness, beauty and size of the house were the most redeeming qualities.

Owner's Response: Cancion del Mar & La Casita are up on Nanzal Hill, away from the dust and noise of the city below. This is why we have such incredible views! We do tell our guests that we are up on the hill (not mountain) and that a rental car is really strongly suggested. We make every effort to keep our villas clean and safe and we have never had any issues regarding this. It is also noted that we are in the jungle and that you should bring bug spray. Because of the early rains this year, scorpion and crab season has started early, and this affects everyone in Sayulita that has a villa near the jungle. The jungle views allow one to watch the most incredible animal life, from iguanas to a vast variety of birds, and then you turn and you are looking at the ocean in search for whales! This is pretty incredible!
Cancion del Mar and La Casita are privately owned villas. The whole idea of being in Sayulita is to enjoy the feel of old time Mexico. And being that our villas are in Mexico, we do our very best to keep everything in working order, and minimize any discomfort from the "creatures".
We are glad that you gave us a four star rating. We take great pride in Cancion del Mar and La Casita, but in no way would we ever say that it's "Beautiful and Dangerous". Any time one is using stairs, one should always be careful, especially if it has rained and the stairs are outside. So, yes, please do be careful on the stairs after a rain.
Thank you again for your visit.
