Comfortable, quiet, close to beach and good dining options. Outstanding staff. Bottom units can be a little dark, not a lot of natural sunlight...but we did not spend much time in the room other than sleeping.
Very secure and safe buildings, very organized and helpful staff. We had a great time at our stay. While the pool's aren't anything extravagant, they are nice, well taken care of and offer nice privacy. Each building has its own pool as well so they're never busy. We would definitely stay here again, the staff went above and beyond to help us enjoy our stay in bucerias. Great place to stay
Very clean, large, beautiful suites. Nice pools, pool in building two is the biggest and nicest. Very well maintained grounds. Jorge was very helpful and thorough with check in, maid staff very friendly. Great stay in Bucerias, we will be back!
Oasis away from so many tourist. Both good experience for couples or family. Proximity to restaurants, bars, town center.

First time visit
First time visiting Bucerias. Our stay was pleasant ant Casa Damian. All of their staff were attentive and kind. Various restaurants to choose from. Although we were told we would receive a 10% discount at Cafe de Bucerias, 5% was given. Beach is at a walking distance. We enjoyed watching the many iguanas that were lounging on a tree across the street from our room. Pool water was very warm.
The pool was very warm almost hot tub temp. The golf carts were all out of comission. No dish soap or cloths to wash dishes. We received no discount at Cafe de Bucerias like we were told and we ate there 5 times.
