“Felt like we had a private beach!”

This quiet little gem had everything we needed. We stayed in a basic room which was large, clean, and safe. Bed was comfortable, shower had hot water, and there was a mini fridge and a/c. It’s not fancy but the beach access is worth it… we were usually the only ones at the beach every day, and the … lisää

This quiet little gem had everything we needed. We stayed in a basic room which was large, clean, and safe. Bed was comfortable, shower had hot water, and there was a mini fridge and a/c. It’s not fancy but the beach access is worth it… we were usually the only ones at the beach every day, and the waves aren’t as strong because you’re sort of at the top of the bay. There’s a bit of rocks as you go into the ocean but then it’s soft and sandy. Short walk to the town square (10 minutes or so). No wifi in the rooms, only by the pool. It’s not close to the action but we enjoyed the quiet.

we stayed at Los Picos for 18 days last month. Our first unit was a sizeable 2 bedroom but was quite "dated t overland while it overlooked the pool we were right above the airconditioner fans quite for the complex making sitting out side noisy. Due to a burst pipe in the bathroom and were fortunately moved to a almost brand new unit in the tower next door. We had a quite sizeable seperate bedroom with 2 Queen sized beds and bathroom and the main room had a pullout couch, kitchen and another bathroom. The kitchen was quite large with a table that seated 4, a 4 burner stove, full sized fridge and microwave. The unit was clean and we had a great water view. I highly recommend staying at Los Picos, especially in the new tower! Our thanks to "Ray" for assisting us in our relocation to a room in the new tower.

“a good deal in an overpriced place.”

I find Bucerias, for a first time visitor, to be an overpriced and mediochre tourist location. I say overpriced because the room rates are higher than neighboring PV, mediochre because it has a less than average beach. And really - the beach seems to be the big draw for the place.

I find Bucerias, for a first time visitor, to be an overpriced and mediochre tourist location. I say overpriced because the room rates are higher than neighboring PV, mediochre because it has a less than average beach. And really - the beach seems to be the big draw for the place. Therefore - I have given Bungalows Princess a 4 out of 5 rating - as it offered a great deal for a standard room in a field of high priced hotels. The place offers the basics, and a good location. It is at the quieter end of the busy Bucerias beach, and is right on the beach. The room was clean, shower and hot water worked fine. A/C worked fine, TV worked fine. There is a fridge and basics in the room - table, chairs, etc. All in all - what more does one need if you are spending all your time on the beach? Nearby there are several small stores, a great pizza/takeout place and a nice bakery. The on site restaurant offers a fair variety at reasonable prices and other restaurants are close by. For someone who loves walking a beach - the trek to Nuevo Vallarta is a nice walk down a beach which is largely sandy, not impeded by bouldery rocky areas like the ones in PV. The sand is rough, but apparently as good as it gets there. Of course my favourite beaches are in Hawaii, Tanzania and Australia so its not a fair comparison! No wifi in the rooms - only at the pool area. The area is very safe, the staff are helpful and friendly - especially the night watchman and his 'guard dog'. I stayed in one of the basic rooms, I consider the upgrad price to the ocean side rooms a little high. Yes, I would return!

“A sad, faded lady of a resort”

Once this place was grand, I'm sure. It has all the trappings of an all inclusive from back in the day. But it is sad and faded now, and literally falling apart.

Once this place was grand, I'm sure. It has all the trappings of an all inclusive from back in the day. But it is sad and faded now, and literally falling apart. In the very very warm pool we stopped frequently to pick up tiles from underfoot, tiles that had fallen from the pool walls. They probably won't be replaced, as many repairs have gone undone; this place is in its declining year. They recently sold off several of the bungalows (which at least looked large and clean from the outside) and a major condo is being constructed literally overhead - the cool pool has tarping over it to keep debris from the construction site from falling in. We had a junior suite - very spacious and clean, lots of white, but dated and broken things like a tilted fridge, missing door handles and a microwave that made a very scary sound when in use. You'll save money if you go here - we paid under $85 a night (but that was supposed to be just a room, not the suite - they lost our reservation so we got a free upgrade). But consider if it's really worth it - there are many nicer places just down the street for just a little more $$.
