accommodations & Amenities

Corazon was built to feel like a small village in the jungle, with casitas and villas nestled amongst winding paths through the property’s jungle-like gardens.

Schedule

TO BE EDITED BY HEIDI, CHERYL AND HEATHER -

People who arrive before Day 1 may be able to have their individual buzios reading with Henrique during the day on Day 1 before dinner. We will also sometimes schedule a free skill share workshop during the day on Day 1.

Each retreat will officially begin on Day 1 at 6 pm with a plated group welcome dinner (usually Sunday)

Most days will begin at 7 am with morning chanting and prayers, followed by a fresh breakfast buffet.

During each day, there will be a combination of group work, council, healing, ceremony and many surprises thrown in!

You will have short breaks throughout the group sessions along with a longer break after lunch is served (buffet style).

In the evening, we will all sit together for dinner (sometimes plated, sometimes buffet) in our outdoor dining area. After dinner, around 8:30 pm, you will be free for the remainder of the evening.

Retreats will end at lunch time on Day 7. Closing council will happen that morning followed by a lunch buffet which you are welcome to take to go on your way to the airport.

Massage Appointments

We host two (sometimes three) massage therapists on the Corazon property during the retreat. They will take appointments for 90 minute sessions during the afternoon break time Day 2 - Day 6. The cost for a 90 minute session is $150. You can either add the cost of a massage onto your reservation or bring cash to pay your massage therapist directly.

Please email us to schedule your massage! Due to availability, we limit massage appointments during the retreat week to 2 per person.

Safety and Money

money

• This little beach town subsists on mostly a cash economy, but lucky for us things are changing fairly rapidly. Plan to pay cash (mexican pesos) for most items while you are here. Outside of the provided retreat meals, we use an estimate of $50 per person per day for meals. But that said, there is more use of credit cards now than ever before, so give them a try at most restaurants and shops.

• Don’t bring large amounts of cash or travelers checks to exchange when you get here. We prefer using Mexican bank ATM's to get pesos given their safety and good exchange rate. Call your credit card companies before you leave home and tell them that you will be in Mexico using your cards, otherwise they will likely decline any charges to them. Some credit card companies also charge large fees for international purchases so look into that before coming down.

• We recommend on arrival having your driver stop at a bank so that you can get cash at a bank ATM before you get to Sayulita. Once in Sayulita please only use ATM machines that are inside stores, restaurants or at the bank. Do not use the ones on the street as those are often corrupted. There are two banks on Revolution, which have ATMs.

• You will need cash to tip your massage therapist if you are booking a massage during the retreat. You can do this in either pesos or american dollars, however, they prefer pesos.

Safety

Our little surfing town is very safe, however, whenever traveling to another country we suggest the following precautions:

• Don’t walk into town with large amounts of cash

• Leave super expensive jewelry at home

• Take a friend when walking off the property at night

• Don’t walk on the beach at night unless your with a group for an activity

• Make sure the gates to our property stay locked at all times and lock your door at night when your sleeping

• Keep your valuables in the safe in your room, including your passport (just don’t forget it when you leave!)

MIsc.

• Call your cell phone provider and check if you have coverage in Mexico. If not, add an international plan for the time you're in Mexico, if you plan to use your phone (though at Corazon you can use the wifi for your messages, internet and facetime).

• Bring your binoculars for bird and animal watching, there are some really cool ones here.

• Bring a small flashlight with you for night wanderings.

• We do have two dogs, so if you are dog sensitive please let us know.

• The lights on the property automatically go off at 12:30 am

• Familiarity with the language will serve you well here.  Go to You Tube and check out “Que Hora Es?” a silly Spanish language soap opera for those who have had 3 weeks of language classes (tongue in cheek).  

Cancellation Policy

TO BE EDITED BY HEIDI, CHERYL AND HEATHER -

We know that life gets in the way sometimes and plans change. That’s why we are happy to offer a full refund (minus CC processing fees and the $500 non-refundable portion of your deposit) up to 2 weeks in advance of the start of the retreat. 

We hope you can understand that by the 2 week mark, it is extremely difficult to fill your spot and we have already paid fees to the Brazilians, our caterers, teachers and prepared for the retreat assuming your attendance. After this point we are unable to provide refunds except under extenuating circumstances (see Terms & Conditions page for more info on this).

We encourage you to reach out to us if you would like to attend but are not sure you’ll be able to.

Staying before or after the retreat

Room Rate

We welcome you to stay over or come early and make your time here a real vacation. Please reach out to us or check the Price List to get the nightly rate for your accommodation before/after the retreat.

Activities

We are happy to suggest our favorite companies for each activity, but as a very small family team we do not have the resources to book these for you. Please use the links below to reserve any activities before/after the retreat and email us if you need any help.

Sayulita has many of Mexico's best surfers so it's a great place to learn to surf (getting lessons with some of the best requires advance planning), paddle boarding is a big sport here as well.

Our favorite surf instructor is Risa with Surf It Out and you can rent a surf or paddle board at any surf shop in town.

There is horseback riding, trips to the Petroglyphs, a catamaran to the Marietta Islands (whale watching too!), home of the blue footed boobies and snorkeling, many jungle tours and wonderful restaurants.

Sayulita is known for its wellness community and thus we have many yoga studios with a variety of different types of classes. Our favorites are studios Rose Room at Don Bonito Hotel and Hotelito Los Suenos.

There is a new wellness space in Sayulita called Alchemize House where you can go to take an exercise class then hop in the sauna and end with a cold plunge. We highly recommend it!

We also have wonderful massage therapists available at any time during your stay (there is an extra charge for this and making your reservations ahead of time is advised).  

Food

There are several restaurants close to the house (between Corazon and town) that are quite nice.

La Puesta - 3-5 minute walk - a new luxury hotel around the corner from our property. The restaurant has a beautiful view of the water, though can be chilly so bring a jacket! The food is high end mexican food and quite delicious, though not an inexpensive meal.

Jakal - 5-10 minute walk - (just past the pizza place on the left after the school and Tropical House) our go to favorite, an easy stroll from CORAZON and dependable quality food at a great price……great mole, mostly seafood and veggies……great margaritas.

Just down the street from us on the left, going towards town, is the new boutique hotel Bonito (3 minute walk).  They have lovely breakfasts, coffee, tea, brunch and smoothies.  They also have Yoga classes.

Continuing down the street, towards town, to the first street past Jakal is the street Miramar.  Turning left there you will find the Northside Cafe (7-10 minute walk), another good breakfast place, very popular.

Rubens (15 minute walk)- from the plaza go to the street with the flags - Rubens will be on your left and they have the best sandwiches in Sayulita. They will also be catering some of the meals during the retreat.

L’Ulivo (10-12 minute walk)- if you want something other than Mexican for dinner you should choose this new Italian restaurant.  He (Giovani) is from Sardinia and the food is really good.  

Alas Blancas - If watching the sunset and having dinner on the beach is what you are looking for then head into town on Palmar (the street in front of our villas)and have a lovely dinner at Alas Blancas.  Food is delicious, price is middle of the road and you can’t beat the location!

Wakika Ice Cream - Got a sweet tooth? Locally owned and made, Wakika is an amazing place for ice cream, sorbet and local fruit flavored waters. Just after Tropical House and about a 5-7 minute walk from CORAZON.
