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"

4-night trip

10/10

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.

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.

10/10

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
