"The rooms are awesome! You can really see the attention to detail that Marcelo made while designing these units. Nice tile floors, huge shower, and a comfortable bed will make you feel at home. The kitchenette was all we needed to make some basic meals so we weren’t going out to eat all the time. I would HIGHLY suggest staying at Casitas Tortugas, as I plan to come back as soon as I can! Thanks Marcelo and family!"

"We have been going to Sayulita for three years. We found Casitas Tortugas on our first trip and fell in love with it. We liked it so much that we returned for our honeymoon! The locations is ideal, being only a couple of blocks from the ocean and the main plaza. However, it is far enough away that noise from the plaza doesn't drift in. The turtle and the koi pond in the back yard, along with the iguanas in the trees, create a calm, relaxing atmosphere and wonderful place to have your morning coffee.
The casitas themselves are beautifully designed and furnished. Each has a separate sitting room, bedroom, bathroom and kitchenette. Tasteful decor and open, bright rooms make the casitas feel incredibly comfortable and roomy. Everything you need to prepare basic meals is provided in the kitchenette. A TV set and access to the owners' personal DVD collection is also included. The owners, Marcelo and Brynne, make you feel as though you are staying in an extension of their home, and their kind presence makes you always feel comfortable, secure and welcome."

"My husband and I recently stayed at Casitas Tortugas for 10 nights. We absolutely loved it and couldn't have been happier. The property and the rooms/apartments are meticulously maintained by the owner, Marcelo. He takes a lot of pride in his property and it really shows. He and his wife are also usually around to give recommendations, and it is clear that they really care about all of their guests.
The location is perfect, as it is only about a block from the center of town, and then another block or so to the beach. It is far enough from the town that you do not get any of the noise from the crowds, but close enough that you can easily step out for breakfast and then go back home to change for the beach, or stop back home throughout the day.
We loved the little one bedroom casita that we rented. In addition to the bedroom and bathroom it included a small living room and kitchen. There are also ceiling fans strategically placed throughout so that it stays remarkably cool inside, even when it is hot outside. That may also be due to the concrete construction and palapa roof.
We felt extremely safe and comfortable at Casitas Tortugas, and the prices are very reasonable. We would definitely stay there again and absolutely recommend it to others! "

"Five teacher friends and I just returned from two wonderful nights at Casitas Tortugas. We stayed in the 2.5 Bedroom Suite, one of the nicest places I have ever stayed in all my world travels. Marcelo (who is an incredibly friendly and helpful host) has handcrafted the apartment into a true piece of architectural and design art. The location is great as well - just a short walk from both the beach and the main plaza. I highly recommend a stay at Casitas Tortugas! Happy travels!"

"My friends and I have been treated like royalty here in the upstairs 2.5 Bedroom Suite by Marcelo and Brynne. It is built as a two bedroom, but actually it's a three bedroom (sleeping 7 people!!) but the little bedroom has a single bed. We have had a fine time at the beach during the day and either cooking our own food or going out to eat (there's at least 20 restaurants within 2 blocks from the house!!). In the evenings we enjoy sampling Marcelo's outstanding collection of movies. All of us enjoy the front veranda, watching the passers-by on the street... and especially the back veranda with its magnificent view up into the jungle-covered hills, with little houses and great big mansions!! The back veranda has a table and chairs and sunlight streaming in all day long and stars so bright you can almost read by them at night!!"
