Casa María Resort

I appreciated the beautiful ocean view. Every suite has this as each one is long and narrow. As others have written, it is a 40 minute walk on the beach to downtown Bucerias.

This is a great place if you want to rest and enjoy the ocean view. The suite is large. The kitchen is not great but passable. The staff are wonderful. It is tricky to walk very far on the beach. Getting groceries takes time and you have to have transportation both ways. No corner store. Nowhere to walk really unless you walk beside a very busy highway. I would go again just to hear and sea the ocean.

Good value overall. Staff was great, very friendly and helpful. Ivan makes a great Pina Colada for 100 pesos and has good advise generally. Rooms very clean and spacious, well kept. Only complaints are (flip side is this is why the property is reasonably priced): (i) the location, a little further from Bucerias than we would have liked, about a 40 min walk to the Centro part of town. The nearest Kiosko (good for brewed coffee/supplies; or just bring your own coffee and filters to the casa) is about a 20 minute walk, which gets you to the town limit (there is a nearer Oxxo, but unreliable for coffee and certain supplies); also, close to the highway which means background traffic noise; the one positive to the location is that it is 30 minute walking distance to Le Cruz to the north, which enabled us to discovered that quaint little fishing village which we otherwise wouldn't have, and (ii) the beach is small and rocky right out front, so not good for swimming, but better beache five or ten minute walk to the south towards town. I would recommend this place to anyone on a budget, but with good walking legs.

This is a great charming Mexican jewel right on the water. Only a short walk to the fantastic restaurant Sukha. The manager, Ivan, was the best! Will definitely stay here again.

Our stay at Casa Maria was only for one Night*) but, we certainly enjoyed it! The hotel is conveniently located close to town. We caught a taxi into town for dinner and then walked back along the beach to the hotel. We were a little surprised to learn that the stairs that access the beach had been destroyed by a hurricane so we had to climbed up the ruins like a jungle gym. We learned the next day that there is a pathway going through the undeveloped adjacent lot that can be used for temporary access instead of scaling the broken staircase. There is a restaurant close by called “Suka” that had great food and a beautiful ocean view. Ivan our host was fantastic! He gave us all sorts of helpful information and was very friendly! We would definitely recommend staying there and we would stay again.

Huge room, could easily sleep 8 (although not in separate bedrooms). Well-decorated, fantastic ocean view, balcony overlooking the pool and the beach, full kitchen, comfortable beds, big screen TV. Staff are polite, friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, because of the recent hurricane Lydia, the steps providing access to the beach were washed out and haven't yet been replaced. We chose this location because we wanted to go for long walks on the beach. We did so, but had to get onto the beach after walking along the road quite a ways. Hopefully they will repair beach access soon! If you like small boutique hotels with a true Mexican character, you will enjoy Casa Maria.

Very large room, very clean, excellent staff! Ivan was the best, very helpful!

Huge room with great view. Needed a ride everywhere - not walkable. Helpful staff. Very low water pressure in shower. Decent pool to cool off in with gorgeous view. Cab ride to nearest restaurant was $14 round trip.

Ivan was fantastic, the room was nice and clean, (too big for 2 people) but comfortable. The pool needed a good shock treatment, water was kind of cloudy looking, cleaning staff were great. A little far away from where we were wanting to be but taxi's were reasonable.

Very good service and the staff is awesome
