Barlovento is a small boutique resort without the loud music and various activities of larger, hotel-style resorts. It is private, yet only a couple of minutes from stores and restaurants. It is relaxing and very safe. We have a lap pool and a main family pool, with in-water lounges and the beach just steps away. We have two parking spaces in the underground secured parking garage. Bucerias is a 2-minute drive or cab ride, with over 100 restaurants. We often walk to Bucerias on the beach and enjoy their well-known beachfront restaurants. La Cruz is also a 5-minute drive in north of us, where you can find more restaurants, a modern marina if you are a boater, and the La Cruz fresh seafood market. You can buy all kinds of fresh seafood, unloaded from the small fishing boats.
Shopping is also very convenient with Mega, La Comer, Chedraui, Super Walmart and Sam's Club just a few minutes away. We are conveniently located about 40 minutes north of the airport.
Nuevo Vallarta is a 20-minute drive, just past Bucerias, where you will find resorts, more restaurants of every kind, a water park, and plenty of nightlife. Continuing south another 15 minutes, is Puerto Vallarta.
Of course, Bandaras Bay is where the whales and dolphins go in the winter months to give birth. There are many whale-watching tours. We have even spotted whales from our deck!
