About this property

Welcome to Firebird

Firebird is a hillside hotel located on Av. del Palmar in Sayulita, offering partial ocean views and easy access to the nearby beach. The property features two large swimming pools, including a heated pool, and provides guest conveniences such as Wi-Fi, free parking, and an airport shuttle service. Family travelers will appreciate the kid-friendly atmosphere available here.

The accommodations are spacious and well-maintained, though guests should be aware that the property is spread across multiple levels without an elevator, which may pose challenges for those with mobility issues. Several guests have noted the abundance of stairs and ramps, indicating that ground-floor units may be a better option for those requiring easier access.

Positioned within walking distance of Sayulita’s town center and beach, the hotel benefits from a quiet environment while still being close enough to enjoy local cafes, vendors, and recreational options. Guests frequently mention the convenience of using golf carts to navigate the hilly terrain and explore the nearby Riviera Nayarit coastline with its resorts and archaeological sites.

Overall, Firebird appeals to visitors seeking a scenic and comfortable stay with family or groups who do not require full mobility accommodations. It offers a practical base for sightseeing and beach activities, although those with accessibility needs should consider their room placement carefully due to the property's layout.

This place was amazing. In such a beautiful position with amazing views. Lots of stairs though so need to be physically fit if you are staying in the upper apartments, no lift and we were here dead in the middle of summer, needed the fitness so not complaining. Would live here if I could. Spacious apartment. Pool is amazing. Staff were great. Can’t wait to be back here.

Great option to stay, beautiful ocean view. Nice apartments but not suitable for wheelchair and handicapped people. No elevator and ramp of parking is wauful for regular sedan cars. Think twice if you have wheelchair and ask for 101. I will come back for sure.

We had a 4 bedroom 4 bath unit for a month! Was fabulous! View was beautiful! We had a small gathering of 17 people and were married right in our unit, which it didn’t even seem overcrowded! Short distance away is a great access to a very beautiful entrance to the beach, and very little people on this side. Photographer loved pictures here! If you have any mobility problems, I would recommend requesting a bottom unit. Staff is amazing, and very helpful and quick when needing water, and a cleaning. Our cleaner was Olga! She is amazing! all around loved staying here!

Excellent accommodations. Would come here again. Get a golf cart to get around to town and you'll enjoy it even more.

Beautiful grounds and everything is well maintained. Pool area is terrific and clean, with a large heated pool and a large cool pool. It's away from the noise, but an easy walk into town. Units show some age, but they're in great condition for a place near the ocean. The entrance is steep and you might have to climb several flights of stairs, so this may not be the best choice if you have mobility issues.

Beautiful place very clean, friendly security guards. It has two huge swimming pools. Partial Oceanview from the condo we stayed, it was beautiful. Location to the beach was nice, but the place itself was hard. It's located on a hill, you have to walk a lot of stairs, although there are elevators, still difficult. I don't know if I would go back to this place.

Great place, fantastic views. A bit strenuous with the amount of ramps and stairs.

Stayed in the Quetzal penthouse and couldn't have been happier. The reservation process through Sayulita Life was easy, the room was very affordable, and the staff was extremely helpful. They even assisted in carrying stuff up the stairs. The pictures didn't do the place justice - much better in person. Would be happy to stay again in the future! Location was easy into town by foot or golf cart and very close to beach access. Quiet enough to hear the surf at night.
