A time worn property, but well cared for. Much construction in area, and i heard this property will be shut in the spring to make way for more luxury condos or higher end accommodations. Sad to lose a modest option on this beautiful beach.

The property was nothing special, but it was clean and the staff were friendly. It is a good location within walking distance to downtown. Our room was quiet and there wasn’t a lot of people at the hotel so we were able to enjoy the pool and beach pretty much to ourselves. For the price of the hotel, it was just as I expected.

Rooms are nothing fancy but they’re spacious and clean. The beach is the selling feature for this hotel. No crowds, calm waves, beautiful sunsets.

The hotel and staff were great, but there is much construction all around resulting in noise and roadway dust.
We would definitely stay ther again.

Doors in rooms did not feel secure
Poor lighting
Long deserted - feeling walk from centro
No drinking water available after 5 on site
No desk staff after 10:30
Room was clean but I felt very isolated and ended up staying with friends

Liked that it was ocean front and had security guard overnight for vehicles.The mattresses were hard as a rock,the bar fridge is in dire need of repair and need more seating area for the hotel rooms at the back.

Good and bad things: the view of the sea was a bit good, it had good space to rest, the space was very good, we had two rooms and two bathrooms like an apartment, the air conditioning did cool but it smelled very bad and humid, I think they don't give it service and the mattresses are the worst we have slept on, I think they are the same ones from when they built the rooms. My unit was # 222

I rented a cheap room there it was in the back, I didn't like that the front door had a 2" gap from the bottom, I wasn't able to relax I was concerned of insects crawling under the dood, the room was clean however the bed was uncomfortable, outside the smell was horrible, I checked out as soon as I was able to book a different place I left even though I had 3 nights left.

Staff is the best. Amenities were few. Clean,quiet and quaint, but reserved two bungalows and ended up with one and a junior suite. It worked out, but not what I was expecting.

Rooms were clean, staff was lovely and the beach was right at our doorstep. Lots of construction surrounding the hotel but that was everywhere you went. Restaurant had basic offerings but we went into town to eat at local places rather than staying at the hotel. The pool is a bit tired and can use some updating but we prefered to swim in the beautiful ocean and spend our time on the beach so werent bothered by the pool. It was just what we needed for our stay in Bucerias. Not fancy but had everything we needed, clean, safe area and friendly helpful staff.

The building is closing and being knocked down next month. My door wasnt secure, my view was concrete pikes and old toilets, there were cockroaches in the front suites and the pool was a dirty mess. The Expedia pictures are old and do not reflect what the Princess looks like now. I checked out after spending 1 night.

This probably used to be a grand dame in Bucerias resorts, far from the madding crowd, large private bungalows and spacious suites. Now it's a faded lady, dowdy and broken down. Very clean, I have to say that. But tiles literally falling off the pool walls while you are swimming (water is VERY VERY warm though). The hotel is IN a construction site, so very dusty and noisy.

Bungalows Princess Suites Bucerias Review
The staff was very friendly and accomodating. Mary, who cleaned the room does great work. Alphonso, the bartender, makes the best Marguerita in Bucerias ( I ordered one at all of the 10 restaurants I went to ). The restaurant food was good. The laundry service was fast and everything folded nicely. Paco, jack of all trades, moved like an energiser bunny. Rose, at reception, was very accomodating - from calling taxis to providing information. Lots of palapas in front on beach, and many loungers around the pool. They get lots of repeat business. It's a gem of a place !!

Our stay was very disappointing! We had two pieces of jewelry stolen on separate days! There were cockroaches in our room and the smell of sewer was horrible. There is construction all around us and the noise woke us up daily.

They need a new pool. I like the 'bird hut.' Good amount of eye candy which will wind up being your main recreation being that the internet doesn't quite make it to your room. Works good in other areas though. Restaurant works for a while but as you get familiar with Bucerias and La Cruz you will find more options. Little bit of a walk to both though. Trees still shade the road a little though sometimes and the Gaggles make pretty songs.
