Hi Aly, I started watching your videos 2 years ago and thanks to you and a few other channels , I moved to Bucerias full time and bought a place last June You really helped me pick Bucerias over Nuevo and PV. I can't thank you enough and I Love your videos . Bucerias is more amazing than I ever imagined and I love it so much.
Ali your videos are some of the absolute best. ❤️ It is such a treat when you pop up on our screen!! We love Bucerias so much that we bought a home there. What I love most about your videos is all the places that you find that you love are our places too!!
My husband, some friends, and I are headed to the Bucerias area next month and I can't get enough of your videos! Thank you for being so thorough, well-spoken, and a joy to watch. Love your content!
Aly, your videos are one of the reasons I decided to book a trip to PV. I've been watching almost for 2 years now. We will be in PV this weekend. Thank you
Great decision, PV is a lot like an excellent coffee, it takes a little bit to get used to the taste, but once you do you will never go back to anywhere else. Have a blast and get to Bucerius you can!
It’s always a good day when a new Aly video drops😃 Feb will be my 3rd trip to PV but first to Bucerias…will be there for 2 weeks so will be checking out some of these places. Thanks Aly!
Aly - your videos are the best, and one of the reasons that I decided to invest in Bucerias. If I see you guys around, I will definitely buy you a round of your favorite drinks. Thank you so much for creating and sharing these videos!
Love your videos, but if I could make a suggestion, try to include an area map showing the locations you're talking about. We spend a lot of our winters in PV's Romantic Zone and know PV in general well, but have only visited Bucerias a few times so it is hard to picture the areas you're featuring. Thanks for your work and safe travels.
Good idea! I'll see if I can make a link to a google map, too, with all my favorite spots (there's so many more that I didn't include in the video lol)
Glad to see you are back in Bucerias making more videos. My wife and I bought a place in town (3yrs ago) after much consideration, and watching many of your video/bar/restaurant/activity tours in Bucerias. We absolutely love it there. Also, kudos to you for tactfully sharing feedback about a sub-pat hotel experience. We walk by that place all the time. Hopefully they make improvements
Hi Ally! Love all your food recommendations! Will be in in PV in a few weeks and will be close to Bucerias, and hope to spend lots of time exploring there.
Hey Aly! Love your vids! my wife and I are going in April and we are staying at the Pinnacle 179 and doing the las animas hike thanks to your previous vids. Looks like we will do a day trip to Bucerias now too haha. We stayed there in 2017 and it looks like it's grown so much. Thanks for all your hard work with all your videos, we think you have the best one's on UA-cam!
We spent 10 days there in November. We always stay at Hotel Palmeras. We love it. This time we made a list of restaurants from your videos that we havent tried. None of them dissapointed. So thank you for doing the videos. I dont know if you have ever tried Sandrina's? Its one of our favorites, along with the Red Apple.
omg, I would LOVE to do a group trip with you guys. We've been going to Bucerias every winter except during Covid for 15 years. We love it here, we feel so comfortable walking and exploring. Unfortunetly won't be there this winter😢going to Europe this summer instead.
OMG don't know where to start. Love your videos you do an incredible job of mixing your excitement with absolutely fantastic tips on what to do. My wife and I have a Elite membership at Flamingo's in Puerto Vallarta. which as you know is the closest resort to Bucerias. We have been going for 10 years now and can't wait for this coming trip in March 2025. I am so glad you spoke about our favorite band in the world. The Gecko Boys. We see them at least 4 times every year we go. The two surviving members, Bluebeard & Victor are amazing. So much fun. Thanks for all your tips and ideas not just in Mexico but also in the USA. Our Son lives in Las Vegas and love your videos their as well. Fremont St.? Love you keep the amazing videos coming.
I had to watch this video a couple times, You look like the love of my life that passed away two years ago💔 her legs were amazing and she looked awesome in jean shorts too, hard to believe that someone that was in amazing shape could die. She was forced to take the 19 shot to keep her government job and then passed away of multiple blood clots.
Just back from Bucerias , and found your videos to be super informative and all of the places you recommended and that we’ve tried were great !! We will have to come back cause Tere are still some more 😅
Ann and I just watched your latest video and have just requested a 5 day stay at the Unelma Bungalows. Praying we get it! Then we are going to Puerto Vallarta for 5 days!
I went to PV for the first time on a girls’ trip in August 2024, and your videos gave me so much inspiration! I’ve been watching your content for almost a year, and I absolutely love it. Thank you for sharing the updated PV videos. I’m already looking forward to my next trip back! Any chance you’ll be sharing some updated Cabo San Lucas videos soon? 😅
We were just there in Nov '24 (the third time) and have been to a lot of your recommendations! This trip we ventured across the highway and we can't wait to return to try some of the eating places you suggested! We also found a brand new coffee/brunch /lunch place that we were to support at the Itare Beach house, we had a lovely conversation with one of the owners (a family venture) I think they also own Nueve...so many places to try We have stayed at Refugio del Mar each time we have gone to Bucerias, it suits us, great pools, great people.
Been watching for months and finally here in puerto will be I bucerias Sunday to Wednesday.! My wife and I moving here with son and dogs your videos have been so helpful! Would love to meet you and your while here if possible dm?!
last night we ate great El pastor tacos at Mr Taco and had a great night drinking across the street at voodoo bar. We saw Jax bar and it looked like a great place to hang out . we will definitely check that place out. thanks for the video and keep them coming
Hi Aly, I really enjoy your videos! Very informative! I just got back from Bacalar, Mexico, beautiful town and lagoon!! I was wondering if you had a video or any tips on stomach issues (no matter what I do, I encounter this) in Mexico! Thank you!
I definitely say it is. My wife and I go frequently, we have gone with our adult kids, and I have gone solo, including a solo trip coming up the first week of March. There are plenty of spots to chill on your own or have a conversation with people at the beach, having coffee, or at the bars.
@@alysmallsone of your blog posts mentioned that you use InDrive instead of Uber but I’ve read where non residents couldn’t use the app because you need a CUPR # (unique population registration code).
Thanks for all these great videos on Bucerias! We are going in February. We wanted to book a taco tour but unfortunately My Mexican Kitchen is all booked up on the dates we will be there for a group our size. Is there another reputable company you can recommend? Thanks!
We are heading to Bucerias first week of March. This video was very helpful! Do you know if there is a place in town to rent fishing gear for surf fishing? Thank you!
Aly, we are going to Bucerias in February and staying at Costa Dorado based on your recommendation. We have been to Bucerias a few times but never ventured over to the east side. Is there a way to cross over that avoids the busy road?
Aly, how did you get to Bucerías? Did you fly into PVR and take a taxi? The last time I was in PV my uber driver said it wasn’t the best idea to uber to Bucerias.
If you’re a bit adventurous…..when you get outside turn left, go to the end of the airport, cross the overhead bridge and get a taxi (or bus) on the other side.
WOW girl, somebody is taking over the PV area YT vids! Whoop Whoop! Some have said Bucerias is only old retired people. In your visits there (how many times have you been?) what has your observation been?
yes, it's definitely a mature crowd, not a wild party place lol. That's why we like it for a week or 2 - chill time by the pool or beach, good food, nice happy hours & sunsets and some live music every now and then☺
I love following your travel advice . I am looking for a place in Bucerias. I remember seeing a video where you reviewed Casa Maria, but can’t find it. How would you compare it with some of your other favorites. Would you recommend it . There are some big rooms that sleep big families. We love Unelma but it’s not available .
Yes it happens occasionally - maybe once every few trips. t's just a mix of different bacteria or sun/heat or both. Honestly never know where it comes from. Rest, hydration and Treda does the trick!
We just got home from Bucerias and we stayed at Five Frogs. The Renos are pretty well complete and the grand opening is on Monday Jan. 13. Our suite was Absolutely Gorgeous and we got to tour the other suites as well. Fresh, new and modern, all the comforts of home with authentic decor. The staff went above and beyond and were an absolute pleasure! We will definitely be going back!🥰
I'm glad you had a much better experience than we did! It's just too bad only one pool gets any real sun and that there's not really any lounger space to enjoy it.

Wow, what a fantastic video! I've visited Bucerias only once before, about 30 years ago when it was just a beach bar or two. Amazing. Nicely done! 👍
My husband, some friends, and I are headed to the Bucerias area next month and I can't get enough of your videos! Thank you for being so thorough, well-spoken, and a joy to watch. Love your content!
I just started watching your videos and in five years I’m ready to relocate to somewhere in Mexico . Actually back to my roots
Bucerias is the best bang for you buck for sure. It's great that it isn't over crowded.
Yet.
Aly, your videos are one of the reasons I decided to book a trip to PV. I've been watching almost for 2 years now. We will be in PV this weekend. Thank you

Great video! The food looks so good,so are the drinks lol. Uncrowded and lovely beach. Cheers from West Coast Canada!
We will be in Bucerias soon. Love all your videos from there!

Back there in April. I cannot wait for my Happy Place. We discovered Casitas de Bahia but they are booked up through winter so spring it is
Love your food videos and the sunsets!!!.❤
Hi. We're loving your channel. Inspired us to go to Bucerias end of March for our 1st visit.
Definitely will say hi if we see you.

Check out Playa Destiladeras if you haven't already been. Nicest beach in the area and usually much calmer water.
it's so beautiful! been a few years, need to go back!!
Hi ,i love Your videos saludos cordiales desde Guadalajara México ❤
There is another great breakfast place now called Cobojo….best avocado toast ever!
Looks good there!
I know the family that owns that place….they are from Saskatchewan!
last night we ate great El pastor tacos at Mr Taco and had a great night drinking across the street at voodoo bar. We saw Jax bar and it looked like a great place to hang out . we will definitely check that place out. thanks for the video and keep them coming
Beautiful, my uncle owns a building very near where you were.
Make me wanna go back 😎
It's been a loooooong time since I was last in Bucerias and it didn't look like. It's more touristy now, but not in a bad way if you're a tourist.
Hi Aly, I really enjoy your videos! Very informative! I just got back from Bacalar, Mexico, beautiful town and lagoon!! I was wondering if you had a video or any tips on stomach issues (no matter what I do, I encounter this) in Mexico! Thank you!
Another great video! I had a laugh when Chris spilled his beer and you gave him 'the look'!😂 Have you guys ever stayed at Casa Victoria?
Love your video, we'll be there for feb 2025 (Zona Dorada) for our 6th year in a row. Let's do a gastro/pub crawl! Cheers, Marc
lots of options!!
Amen!!! ❤🎉😊
Would you suggest this place for the solo traveler? Widowed, looking for some places to explore. Thanks.
Yes I think Bucerias is a great spot for solo travelers 😊
I definitely say it is. My wife and I go frequently, we have gone with our adult kids, and I have gone solo, including a solo trip coming up the first week of March.
There are plenty of spots to chill on your own or have a conversation with people at the beach, having coffee, or at the bars.
Aly,
Not a minute before you said the beach didn't have seaweed, i thought, wow, no seaweed. 😂
I'll be there for the first time in April!
We are staying at unelma 2 weeks in February. Its the open air unit. Will we freeze at night? PS, we go there often, based on one of your old videos
we stayed in that unit in February one year and it was lovely!
what was name of bar at min 10:40? Thx luv your videos. watched them last year before we went and rewatching this year!! I live in BC
that's Huika ☺
Love your videos, just came back from Bucerias. Hey, what camera do you use?
Hello Aly! What is the best way to get transport from the airport to Bucerias? Thanks! Love your channel!
either taxi or Uber!
@@alysmallsone of your blog posts mentioned that you use InDrive instead of Uber but I’ve read where non residents couldn’t use the app because you need a CUPR # (unique population registration code).
mmmmm that ham and pinapple pizza looks so good ..mmmmmmm
Thanks for all these great videos on Bucerias!
We are going in February. We wanted to book a taco tour but unfortunately My Mexican Kitchen is all booked up on the dates we will be there for a group our size. Is there another reputable company you can recommend? Thanks!
Thanks for the video. Is there a reason you not saying the prices of each of these hotels? Thanks
Yes, prices fluctuate drastically based on time of year and how far ahead you book
We are heading to Bucerias first week of March. This video was very helpful! Do you know if there is a place in town to rent fishing gear for surf fishing? Thank you!
Aly what tour did you do with the Mexican kitchen?
The coffee margarita looks yum!
Do you know if it’s reg tequila and coffee or espresso or coffee tequila?
Aly, we are going to Bucerias in February and staying at Costa Dorado based on your recommendation. We have been to Bucerias a few times but never ventured over to the east side. Is there a way to cross over that avoids the busy road?
Yes, there's a pedestrian overpass just west of Javi's (it was shown in the video for a few seconds just before I mentioned the food tour)
Aly, how did you get to Bucerías? Did you fly into PVR and take a taxi? The last time I was in PV my uber driver said it wasn’t the best idea to uber to Bucerias.
From the airport you can get a bus for 35pesos just look for one that says Bucerias on the front window the driver will make change if you need it!
@ oh thank you!!! I go next week to PV….might take this trip 😊
Yes, we flew into PVR and took an Uber
If you’re a bit adventurous…..when you get outside turn left, go to the end of the airport, cross the overhead bridge and get a taxi (or bus) on the other side.
@@Katepweoh that’s what I always do 😊 and catch an uber.
WOW girl, somebody is taking over the PV area YT vids! Whoop Whoop! Some have said Bucerias is only old retired people. In your visits there (how many times have you been?) what has your observation been?

@alysmalls I suppose PV isn't too far away to get a younger crowd vibe every once in awhile. How much time have you spent in Bucerias?
Great
I love following your travel advice . I am looking for a place in Bucerias. I remember seeing a video where you reviewed Casa Maria, but can’t find it. How would you compare it with some of your other favorites. Would you recommend it . There are some big rooms that sleep big families. We love Unelma but it’s not available .
Hmm...do you mean Casa Maria in PV? If so it's in this video here: ua-cam.com/video/afm0Kb-3ZvM/v-deo.htmlsi=wyLTGXv32MK7ZFTp
Nice
Any snorkeling tours? Good for families? Tks
So about that $250 bottomless margaritas on Fridays at the Red Apple Place, is it just for HH or anytime on a Friday?
it's at Paco Taco and I'm not 100% sure - check their FB page for the details, they post a lot!
@alysmalls my bad I thought it was the Red Apple Place lol
@@Shansico sorry if it was confusing in the vid!
oh and please show where each city is located!!
yes please tell us all the prices on everything and the peso and dollar, thank you!!
Do you ever get an upset tummy/food poisoning when traveling to Mexico?
I never have. I’ve been to different cities in Mexico and the food is always fresh and delicious!! No upset tummy 😊
Yes it happens occasionally - maybe once every few trips. t's just a mix of different bacteria or sun/heat or both. Honestly never know where it comes from. Rest, hydration and Treda does the trick!
watched this one 2 days in a row now lol. wrote them down. especially Jax and 3 others!! 80 more days,,,, but whos counting.
We just got home from Bucerias and we stayed at Five Frogs. The Renos are pretty well complete and the grand opening is on Monday Jan. 13. Our suite was Absolutely Gorgeous and we got to tour the other suites as well.
Fresh, new and modern, all the comforts of home with authentic decor. The staff went above and beyond and were an absolute pleasure! We will definitely be going back!🥰
I'm glad you had a much better experience than we did! It's just too bad only one pool gets any real sun and that there's not really any lounger space to enjoy it.
Thanks for your information..good for you to promote buccerias..or western Canada tee hee
Where is this place located? What city do you fly into?
You fly into Puerto Vallarta. It is about a 30 minute cab ride from there.
PARTY FOUL
Is this on the Gulf of America?
Ally, I'm a retired American living here in Mexico for many years. Its spelled cochorros with an o, not an a.
Hi
So you preffer a less touristy place than PV
cheapest beer, ....and what my dear might that be? since no cost is spoken of ? =)
22 MXN
Great video. We are selling our little casita in the golden zone. Reach out if interested.
Can you share more about your experience at 5 Frogs?
I was like cool place but then the hotel cost. Go to any Asia country way better value.
DON'T
another narcissist gringa in PV with a flat back
too touristy and dirty looking
Definitely not!
??????Nice area!!!
This woman Is mexican because she born in América Mexican
