Tres Palmas - 63732 Bucerías

Está súper !!!!

Cozy

We stayed in the Casita Ola, the two storey, 1BR casita at Tres Palmas in late November. Lisa, the owner lives on site and was a pleasure to work with both before and during our stay. All casitas are in an inner courtyard around the refreshing pool. The casitas are well equipped for dining in. The air conditioning and fans work very well. The location is perfect with many restaurants in the immediate area and others a short walk away. The small grocery store around the corner has a good supply of staples and fruits and vegetables. A large store is a 15 minute walk away that has everything. The beach is a short block or so away and the town centre is an easy walk. We will be back the next time we come to the Vallarta area.

To be honest, I'm reluctant to "spread the news" and spoil this oasis in Bucerias... a small, 5 unit property, very close to the beach, restaurants and other attractions. The casitas are fully equipped and the kitchen had everything we needed (including sharp knives) for when we decided to eat in. Hosts Lisa and Jair are outstanding, make you feel at home as soon as you arrive and, if you stay long enough, you learn reasons to stay with locals rather than at one of the white tower condos where the majority of people you encounter are tourists. Bella, the cute watchdog, rarely barks, patrols the garden and pool area for trespassing critters (usually iguanas) and provides a humorous antigen for boredom. We learned about the different drive-by vendors, bought fresh fruit from one who came by daily, went to the weekly local market, learned where to buy fresh seafood and spices, took a bike tour and two cooking classes. Thank you Lisa, Jair and Bella! We enjoyed ourselves so much and there's much more to discover... we can't wait to return!
