Is the tap water safe to drink?
NO! Do NOT drink tap water in Sayulita. Don't even brush your teeth with it. When ordering drinks, ensure they're being made with bagged ice. They're usually very good about this. Bottled water is safest. If you buy vegetables & fruit, you can soak them in 8 drops of Microdyne per liter of water for 15 minutes.
How do I get to Sayulita?
Closest Airport: Puerto Vallarta (PVR)
Delta has direct flights from SLC–PVR once daily. This is the easiest option, however, other airlines fly there with connections daily as well.
Puerto Vallarta to Sayulita: Approximately 45 minutes by car, there are plenty of car rentals at the airport. If you do not want to drive in Mexico there are taxi's/uber or private transfers can be setup through the hotel.
The cheapest option is to take the local bus from the airport to Sayulita. The station is across the street as you walk out of the airport. Take the pedestrian bridge for the easiest route to the bus stop.

What should I bring?
Comfortable walking shoes! As mentioned in another question, the city is walkable, but is a bit hilly in some areas. The streets are also variable and bumpy so best to avoid any tall heels.
A swimsuit! There are a few pool options at the hotel, as well as walking distance to the beach. If you are staying at the hotel, surf boards are included.
Sunscreen! Remember we're going to be in a tropical climate where the sun is stronger and more direct. If you do forget to bring any, it's okay, there are a lot of shops or markets nearby to purchase it.
How do I get around within the city?
Within Sayulita: The city is a small and walkable surf town with shops and restaurants all within a few minutes walk. It is rather hilly in a few places, especially the farther from the beach you go. If you don't want to walk, golf carts are available for rent everywhere.
Why Sayulita?
We typically don't like traveling to the same place, however, Sayulita will never get old! It is easy to get to, in the safest state in Mexico and has a lot of options for everyone; See a list of activities under the 'Things to Do' tab on this site.
How long should we stay?
We have a room block at Amor Boutique Hotel with a check in on Thursday, the 29th, and check out Sunday, the 1st. You are more than welcome to come earlier, or stay longer to make this trip a vacation for you and your family. Cam and Connor will be there for a few days before the wedding, and staying until the following Tuesday.
Do we need to stay at Amor Boutique Hotel?
No, however, having been to Sayulita a few times the location is perfect on the south side of the bay, walking distance to the beach. The rooms are incredible, and reasonably priced, but mostly it would be fun to have as many people as possible staying in the same area. This is also where the wedding and reception will be on Friday, the 30th. Below is a map of all the villas available:
