Hotel Diamante Sayulita

The Best of Sayulita An amazing resort, so close to the beach, the musical festival and of course shopping and food!

Rooms are not worth the money I paid on ******* . Our first room didn’t have a window.

We are seasoned travellers. Our recent experience at Diamante was the worst experience we have had in over 50 years of travelling. We had booked 4 nights at the Diamante through Booking. com, about 3 weeks prior to our trip. We had received a confirmation number shortly after our booking and were looking forward to our stay. On our arrival in Sayulita, we received an email stating that our reservation had been cancelled because they couldn't verify our credit card. This occurred about 1 hour prior to our arrival. When we arrived, the lady at reception told us that *********** had cancelled our reservation and furthermore, the Diamante didn't have a room for 4 nights. They could offer us 2 nights, which we took and paid for, with the same card that 'could not be verified'!! When we contacted Booking. com, we were told that the hotel had cancelled our reservation. Upon further discussion with the lady at Diamante, we were told that a film crew from Mexico City was arriving and would require the whole hotel to film their telenovela. She suggested another hotel a couple of blocks away and we were able to book 2 nights there. The bottom line is that the hotel lied to us and essentially kicked us out of our reserved room to make way for the film crew. As we were moving to this new accommodation, another couple followed us from the hotel. The same thing had happened to them! The following day, we noticed that the hotel had been completely blocked off. The only vehicles to be seen in the hotel parking area belonged to the film crew. The only positive thing to come from this was that the hotel to which we had moved was considerably nicer. What is most upsetting to us is that we were "thrown under the bus". We were lied to by the hotel and basically left to fend for ourselves. A great business model!!!
