About Punta Esmeralda
Punta Esmeralda is the gated master-planned community on the south-facing point between La Cruz and Bucerías: ocean-view condos and villas on a headland with its own beach, pools and the boutique hotel Destino inside the gates, the prestige address of La Cruz. The marina and the town's restaurants are a few minutes by car; Bucerías's Zona Dorada about the same the other way.
Buyers are retirees and second-home owners who want resort amenities and a view without a resort's crowds. Dues cover a lot of infrastructure, so ask for the actuals and the reserve; rental rules differ between the condo phases; and the point's beach is small and rocky at the ends.
