Why Choose Bungalows in Los Ayala Beachfront?
Los Ayala is more than a destination—it’s a retreat. Unlike other, busier beaches along the Pacific coast, the experience here is more intimate, relaxed, and authentic. Choosing Los Ayala beachfront bungalows means opening your door and stepping directly onto the sand. But there’s so much more:
- Prime and safe location: Away from the crowds, yet connected to key spots in the Riviera Nayarit.
- Real comfort: Bungalow-style accommodations with kitchenettes, private terraces, and plenty of space for families or groups.
- Local experience: Friendly hosts, home-style food, hiking trails, and direct contact with nature.
- Authenticity in every detail: From the architecture to the Huichol-inspired décor, everything has a story.

Comparing with Guayabitos and La Peñita de Jaltemba
Choosing where to stay in the Riviera Nayarit can be challenging. Destinations like Rincón de Guayabitos or La Peñita de Jaltemba also offer lodging near the beach. But if you want a peaceful, comfortable, and authentic experience, Los Ayala is without a doubt a smart choice.
Guayabitos: Popular but Crowded
Guayabitos is known as “the world’s largest swimming pool” thanks to its calm waves. It’s ideal for families who want a lively beach with plenty of entertainment and street vendors. However, that same popularity can work against it: the beach is often full, traffic can be heavy in high season, and intimacy is harder to find.
Best for: Those who enjoy a bustling tourist vibe.
Less ideal if: You’re looking for rest, space, and a deeper connection with nature.
La Peñita: Urban Convenience, Less Beach Access
La Peñita de Jaltemba is a more urban area with a traditional market, banks, transportation, and restaurants. It’s great as a daytime stop to explore local culture, but it’s not known for its beach or beachfront bungalow options.
Best for: Shopping and exploring local life.
Less ideal if: Your priority is falling asleep to the sound of the waves and enjoying direct ocean views.
Los Ayala: Privacy, Nature, and Uncrowded Beach
By contrast, Los Ayala has the charm of a fishing village, with a cleaner, calmer, and less crowded beach—perfect for families who value true relaxation. Here, you can enjoy long walks along the shore, explore hiking trails, spot tropical birds, or simply watch the sunset in peace.
