Bucerias
Bucerias is a very laid back, eclectic destination located on the Ocean in Riviera Nayarit. It is a favorite destination for Canadians and Europeans. Some of the tastiest Restaurants can be found along the Beach in Bucerias downtown. Elegant Oceanfront Villas dot the beach, and our favorite is VILLA ENCANTO, a stunning oceanfront villa with the best staff in Riviera Nayarit. The owners have lovingly redone the villa so that it offers a classic Mexico feel with all of the latest creature comforts for any seasoned traveler.

Nuevo Vallarta

Developed in the 1990's, Nuevo Vallarta has seen a recent rebirth. Top hotels include Mayan Palace with elegant theme styled accommodations and a wonder day Spa for the discrimination client. Mayan Palace Resorts offers accommodations for rent and great prices as well.

Grab your tie dye shirts and visit Sayulita, an old school classic Mexico pueblo with high speed wireless and trendy new age Restaurants. Sayulita has quickly become Europe's favorite destination with and eclectic mix of Surfers, Bohemians, and every once in a while Hollywood's elite. The Surfing beach is second to none and there are wonderful shops and Restaurants at every turn. A visit to Sayulita is a must!

San Pancho
Often called San Francisco, San Pancho is a much slower version of Sayulita. With real estate prices lower than most, Snowbirds are flocking to San Pancho for some great deals on property and real estate for sale.

Before the early 70's San Pancho was a drowsy fishing village with a handful of palapa-style houses on the beach and no basic amenities. Then former president (1970-1976) Luis Escheverria took a proprietary interest in the town, building schools and the only hospital between Vallarta and Tepic - 90 miles away. It's said he had hoped to end up with a prestigious United Nations post by creating a self sufficient town that would be a model for Third World Development. Instead, Escheverria fled Mexico in the 70's and his family's estate here fell to ruin. But the schools and hospital remain a central focus of village life and a testimony to his vision.

Surfers love this place with some of the best wave riding in Riviera Nayarit. Visit San Pancho and you will not regret a great day trip.

San Blas
San Blas is at the top of Riviera Nayarit and is a classic sleepy fishing village with a strong focus on Seafood and Eco tourism. Highlights include Beach combing, Fishing, Bird watching, and all things eco. Make sure you visit the Crocodile farm where you can get up close and personal with a 15 prehistoric creature! The mangroves and saltwater swaps resemble the Bayou's of Louisiana, with creatures rarely seen in the wild. Visit San Blas and Eco-Travelers Paradise!
