点评:We were searching for a fun, meaningful, community-style event for Christmas Eve in Sayulita. It felt like a tall order—but we found it in the most unexpected place.
As a family of three with a 15-year-old, finding somewhere we would all genuinely enjoy felt like a miracle. Enter Sayulita Sandbar—a true playland for kids and adults alike, run by absolute salt-of-the-earth people.
There’s a plethora of activities, and we dove right in. We tried pickleball for the very first time, and when a local noticed how pathetic we were, he jumped in, coached us, and had us actually playing by the time our delicious burgers arrived.
Next up was Cornhole—another new challenge that felt impossible at first. With friendly encouragement from the staff, we soon found ourselves in an organized competition, laughing alongside other patrons as strangers came together in good-natured fun.
Our teenage daughter, who is usually quite shy, was having an absolute blast—playing games, including ping pong and foosball, and fully joining in. Hours flew by, and to top it all off, we all sang karaoke. I was completely shocked (and thrilled!) when my daughter willingly got up and sang.
I’m writing this novel of a testimonial because the staff and the Sandbar gave us the best Christmas Eve we could have hoped for. It was truly the highlight of our trip—bringing strangers together in joy, which turned out to be the greatest gift of all.
Thank you so much. We’ll be back!
翻译:我们一直在寻找萨尤利塔(Sayulita)圣诞夜的有趣、有意义且充满社区氛围的活动。这感觉像是一项艰巨的任务——但我们却在最意想不到的地方找到了它。
我们一家三口,其中一个孩子15岁,找到一个大家都真正喜欢的地方简直像个奇迹。萨尤利塔沙洲(Sayulita Sandbar)就是这样一个地方——一个真正适合孩子和大人的游乐场,由一群非常朴实真诚的人经营。
这里有丰富多彩的活动,我们立刻就投入其中。我们第一次尝试了匹克球,一位当地人注意到我们笨拙的球技,便主动上前指导我们,在我们美味的汉堡上桌之前,我们已经能玩得津津有味了。
接下来是投掷沙包游戏(Cornhole)——这又是一个新的挑战,起初感觉几乎不可能。在工作人员的热情鼓励下,我们很快就加入了有组织的比赛,和其他顾客一起开怀大笑,陌生人之间也因此充满了善意的乐趣。
我们十几岁的女儿平时很害羞,但这次却玩得不亦乐乎——乒乓球、桌上足球,各种游戏她都玩得津津有味,积极参与。时间飞逝,最后我们还一起唱了卡拉OK。女儿竟然主动站起来唱歌,我真是又惊又喜!
我之所以写这么长一篇推荐信,是因为Sandbar的员工和餐厅给了我们一个梦寐以求的完美平安夜。这绝对是我们这次旅行的亮点——让素不相识的人们欢聚一堂,这才是最珍贵的礼物。
非常感谢!我们还会再来的!
