Feel free to ask me more.

Answer 4

The truth is that Bucerias is a small town of retired people, there is not much to do.

Swim, work out, eat fish could be options, if you're looking for action the right place is Pto Vallarta.

Answer 5

how close to Buecerias are you staying?

there are lots of activities in the area and PV has the best food and restaurant choices outside of Mexico City in the entire country.

check banderasnews.com for stuff on the area

also during may there is restaurant week where you can have a 3 course meal for very cheap and most of the best restaurants participate

so that translates to roughly $15 or $25 per person USD
