Bucerias was extremely dirty and the whole area had a very strong odor of urine. More

Buceria was only a 10 minute taxi ride from the resort we stayed at Villa del Palmar Flamingos in Nuevo Vallarta. We ate here most nights, because the restaurants are right on the beach and there is a variety of them to choose from. The market is small, but also wonderful and we also spent a day just checking everything... More

Loved the market in town so much that we visited it 3 days in a row! It's just small little market but there's so much else to see and do along the way. Try the tacos from the street vendors, be adventurous, the locals are friendly and many of them speak very good English. More

I love this place. I've been there for the past 4 years and we are planning a trip again. It's a nice quiet place. There's not a lot of activity like Puerto Vallarta. I like a quiet place much more than beach with wall-to-wall people. It has a lovely sandy beach and you can walk it for miles. The market... More

There are lots of better beaches in the PV area. The restaurants are a bit expensive and the service is poor on the beach. Lots and lots of vendors. We had 15 to 20 in about a half hour before we had to get sheltor from them. Outside of the restaurants there is a flee market that sells the same... More

The flea market in Bucerias is great. Yes the vendoers are aggressive, but where in Mexico are they not. You can bargain with them and they have everything the beach vendors have and more. More
