Our family of five (2 adults, 3 kids ages 7 & 8) rented Arrecife 1, a condo that is part of a large, secure condominium community in Punta Esmeralda, just north of Bucerias, Mexico. The condo we rented was called Arrecife 1 and it is on the ground floor of the Arrecife group of condos. We LOVED the location as it is steps from the beach (which is very rocky so don't expect to swim much) and steps from the restaurant. The view was spectacular and the pool was simply fantastic for our children. We also visited the pool by the restaurant, which was equally beautiful. You can order drinks for you / ice cream for the kids. Bring pesos as they don't take credit card. Breakfast was our favorite meal at the restaurant, which also serves lunch and dinner (they do not close at 5 PM as some of the other posts indicate but were closed on Tuesday). They will even deliver to your room. We visited a local grocery store (La Comer) to get supplies on our first day. For day trips...we went to Puerto Vallarta, which is about a 30 minute ride by taxi and Bucerias. There is a market in Bucerias and the restaurant we visited was really good. We chose not to leave the property much as we just wanted to relax and swim. We paid a cook to make a meal one evening (recommended by Alejandro) and it was FANTASTIC! Overall, we really enjoyed the condo, the location and Alejandro was very helpful and responsive. We would definitely go back.
