"This was one of many visits to the Puerto Vallarta area. We truly loved our condo, the staff , the weather and our location. We have stayed in Bucerias many times before, and found we were a 5min cab ride away---perfect. Made a trip to Sayulita (20mins) for the Day of the Dead celebration and loved the festivities, the food and the cute little surfing town. Our trip was fun filled and we plan to return in the future."
