Majahua Hotel-Casitas de Playa sits directly on Playa Chacala in Chacala, Nayarit, a small, low-key beach village north of San Blas known for its horseshoe-shaped bay and lack of large-scale development. The property is built as a collection of individual casitas set among tropical gardens leading down to the beach, giving it a rustic, low-rise character distinct from Nayarit's high-rise resort towns. Rooms are split between Garden Casitas and Ocean-View Casitas, both simply furnished to match the beach-village setting. The on-site restaurant serves fresh seafood and Mexican dishes with views toward the bay, and a yoga deck offers morning sessions overlooking the water. A pool is available for guests preferring not to swim in the ocean. Service is relaxed and personal, fitting Chacala's identity as a quiet alternative to the more developed beach towns of the Riviera Nayarit, popular with travelers seeking a slower pace and direct beach access.
