We stayed at the Palladium resort. It is about 20 minutes further up the coast past Bucerias. To get downtown from the resort you walk out to the road, ( 5 minute walk ).vvThe buses go by every 5 minutes. There is alot of construction at the road by the resort. After that it is fairly smooth sailing ( almost ). The bus passes thru Bucerias. Get off the bus as it turns around at the Sheraton. You can walk downtown from there. It takes about 50 minutes in total to get downtowm. To go back to the resort, you can catch the bus in front of the Walmart. The bus you want is the Punta Mita bus. These buses are always alot of fun and everyone should try them at least once a trip. 15 pesos each.
