So you’ve selected Sayulita, Mexico, as your next vacation destination, but where do you stay? So many choices! There’s a place that’s right for everyone, from upscale beachfront hotels to budget beach bungalows and everything in between. But there are some important things to consider before deciding on which of the Sayulita hotels to choose from that have more to do with lifestyle norms in Mexico that may not be top of mind.
Mexico Living
Life in Mexico can be wonderful, but certain things do need to be anticipated, since it’s a developing country and a different culture than our own. Here, you’ll get exactly what you pay for so make sure you take these important considerations into account. If the following amenities are not mentioned for your Sayulita hotel, assume they won’t be available. So without further ado, let’s make sure you get what you want.
Hotel Amenities
Maybe you don’t need all of these conveniences, but you may discover not having them is a little uncomfortable. Depending on your vacation plans and personal preferences, consider if your Sayulita hotel has:
- Plumbing: Having running water – both hot and cold. Not every building has a hot water heater, since many Mexicans don’t see hot water as a necessity.
- Electricity: Most buildings are wired for electricity and use the same 110-120 voltage as the USA and Canada, but many outlets are not grounded (two prongs) and require three-prong adapter plugs.
- Air Conditioner/Window Screens: Not every Mexico hotel has air conditioning or screens on their windows. The average hotels and beach bungalows don’t. Even though the ocean breeze can be refreshing, humidity sometimes runs high and without screens, you may become a mosquito buffet.
- Internet Access: Most areas in Mexico have Internet capability, including wireless, but it’s not necessarily free or accessible in hotel rooms.
- Room Essentials: Items such as coffee pots, hair dryers, toiletries, telephones, televisions, and room safes are not necessarily standard issue, depending on the hotel classification.
