What our guests say about Villa del Oso
Start Your Comfortable Stay
From destination weddings to family gatherings, Villa del Oso has been the setting for countless unforgettable moments.
Here’s what our guests have shared about their experiences.
Straight out of a dream!
We booked Villa del Oso as our venue for our wedding in June 2024 and stayed there with our family for 5 days. There were a total of 14 people staying in the house between the bride and groom’s family members. The venue was a dream for the wedding. It has two sections – a ceremony area up top and a reception space down below. Both spaces have breath-taking views of the ocean with lots of space to set up your dream wedding. Since Villa del Oso is such a popular spot in Sayulita, there’s plenty of options for set-up and inspiration you can take from previous events. We were also able to do a bonfire on the beach after our wedding which was amazing and very easy. The only thing to note is that there is a steep hill down from the ceremony to the reception area. Luckily, everyone in our wedding was able to make it down the hill (including an aunt who is handicapped and needs a cane to walk). The villa was also a super lovely way to get our families together during the wedding. We had both the bride and groom’s immediate families staying there and it was so lovely having everyone together for breakfast every morning. The only issue we ran into was having with the AC. The AC in a few of the bedrooms didn’t work upon our arrival which caused some room shuffling. But the staff was very responsive and diligent about getting it fixed up. The breakfasts were amazing -- this was mentioned multiple times to us by all of our family members. The staff was also exceedingly responsive and super sweet (special shoutout to Eduardo for helping us with every request).

Incredible Villa + Wedding Venue
Villa del Oso is INCREDIBLE!!! Staying at the vacation rental with our bridal party was a phenomenal experience. Add the fact that we had the luxury/convenience of hosting our 107 person wedding on the lawn and we truly couldn't ask for more. Luisa the property manager is super easy to communicate with. Visiting/booking the villa was a breeze especially given I only contacted her a few days before my scouting trip to Sayulita. She also provides a lot of support in advance of your trip to help ensure your trip goes as planned. The house staff of chefs, cleaners, security and on-site manager were so friendly and helpful. Shout out to Eduardo, Maribel, Alma, Claudia and Don. Our crew loved the daily breakfast/lunch they prepared and we were so happy to enjoy each meal on the patio to pair with the beautiful views. They also do daily cleaning so the villa stays clean throughout the entirety of your stay. The villa as a wedding venue was absolutely stunning. So many of our guests expressed we hosted the most beautiful and memorable wedding they'd ever attended and I know the venue played a major part in that. To address the elephant in the room: we talked to Luisa about the security concerns and she assured us they had since increased their security measures. We did not have any issues. All in all, I cannot rave enough about Villa del Oso and can only hope to return for another vacation... or maybe as a a wedding guest. : )
