The Staff were wonderful. Rooms were very clean and enjoyed our pool. It was warm and clean. Unfortunately there is a lot of construction going on and daytime was noisy, no fault of of the Refugio Hope to go back when the building construction is completed

Beautiful property! The pool area was like a secret garden and the rooms were clean, spacious, and comfortable. My only complaints were that our room was located across the street from a restaurant that was loud at night and that we were unable to relax at the pool for half of our stay since other guests reserved the lounge chairs for the whole day.

Very secure and safe buildings, very organized and helpful staff. We had a great time at our stay. While the pool's aren't anything extravagant, they are nice, well taken care of and offer nice privacy. Each building has its own pool as well so they're never busy. We would definitely stay here again, the staff went above and beyond to help us enjoy our stay in bucerias. Great place to stay

The 2 bedroom apartment we stayed at for 5 days was spacious with a big kitchen, fully equipped with a microwave, oven, coffee maker, dishes. It also had 2 large terraces for lounging and entertaining and a huge king sized bed in each bedroom with its own full shower and a washer/dryer. Everything you could ask for plus a living room and kitchen table. We loved it. We stayed at "Casa Mini"

Comfortable, quiet, close to beach and good dining options. Outstanding staff. Bottom units can be a little dark, not a lot of natural sunlight...but we did not spend much time in the room other than sleeping.

8/10 Very good

Great location near the beach, restaurants and convenience stores. We had a studio that opened onto the shared pool, which was nice to have in June heat. Housekeeping staff did an excellent job. The only minor issues were a couple of wooden doors, one in the bathroom that kept swinging in the way and the other the door into the studio that didn’t seem to close securely. Checking in was a little confusing as there are three different buildings, but staff were helpful in guiding us down the street to our entrance.

10/10 Exceptional

The Rufugio del Mar was a beautiful property. We stayed in building 2 which only had 7 units. They all had their own kitchen and bedroom/s. The staff were super friendly and the pool and gardens were immaculate. I would recommend staying on the second floor if possible as the lower units can be a little dark and do absorb a bit of noise from the above units. The location is 2 blocks from the beach and the property includes free beach chairs and umbrellas. They also provide free top of the line bikes. It wasn’t very busy when we were there so everything was readily available. Jorge, the owner is attentive and super helpful. We had an amazing stay.

The place is a small exquisite place that I really liked. Beach and eateries were close. Because I was injured and couldn’t walk upstairs I was very disappointed that the elevators were not working because I couldn’t enjoy my time the family on the roof jacuzzi or pool :( Also, the place came equipped with plates, cups, utensils etc but were not supplied with soap/sponge to wash dishes or napkins. Some complimentary coffee/tea would have been much appreciated. Other than this, we enjoyed our time in this beautiful place.
