You get what you pay for…and you may pay more for it later
After reading all the positive reviews, I was pretty disappointed in this property and with the property owner.
The positives: Bucerias is a beautiful place that is tourist-friendly without being completely crowded, even during Christmas week. It wasn’t nearly as crowded as Sayulita, but it has a great vibe and charm. The house has three bedrooms, three bathrooms, A/C in every room, a good-sized kitchen, and a lovely patio area, including a big patch of grass in the shade that was perfect for my little daughter to play. The infinity pool is very nice, and just steps from the condo. The location of the complex is OK – it’s about a 10 minute walk down to the beach, or ~15 minutes to the town and market, but to get to town you have to walk along the highway and it’s not a nice walk. If I went back, I’d stay closer to the town and beach.
The negatives: When we arrived, the house did not feel at all ready for guests – there wasn’t even toilet paper in the bathrooms, or soap to wash your hands, or garbage bags in the bins. We had to immediately go shopping for the very basics. The beds and couches were pretty uncomfortable. Things in the house are old, and when they break it takes time to get them fixed. The hot water heater wasn’t working (the pilot light wouldn’t stay lit), and it took 3 days before a plumber could come fix it. The toilet seat fell from my hand and broke in two in the middle of my stay, so we sat on a half-broken seat. All of this wouldn’t have been a big deal, but then Jose charged me $85 for the toilet seat. I’m still working with VRBO to contest the charge—you’d think after 3 days of cold showers and 2 days balancing on a half-broken toilet seat, the property owner would be offering concessions, not adding charges.
All in all, if you can afford something a little nicer, do yourself the favor and go for it. Stay close to the beach, on the other side of the highway.
