Hacienda Alegre is a unique creature in the Bay of Banderas. The main house stands on a 25-foot cliff overlooking the beach. You enjoy sweeping and uninterrupted views east to Puerto Vallarta, with Matisse-style mountains providing a backdrop right around the horse-shoe-shaped bay. And to the west, you look along the rugged coastline towards the Pacific Ocean. Surfing is daily delight. The sunsets are totally magic! During the winter and early spring seasons, the bay is visited by whales and dolphins, and other interesting sea characters. Every day, summer or winter, the theatre of lines of pelicans gliding along the tips of the ocean waves never cease to amaze one!
