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.

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

First time visit
First time visiting Bucerias. Our stay was pleasant ant Casa Damian. All of their staff were attentive and kind. Various restaurants to choose from. Although we were told we would receive a 10% discount at Cafe de Bucerias, 5% was given. Beach is at a walking distance. We enjoyed watching the many iguanas that were lounging on a tree across the street from our room. Pool water was very warm.

We stayed in the Don Paulino 2 bedroom suite. Its a decent room although it is on the main ground flloor in one of the buildings. This area does not have its own pool so we had to walk to adjacent areas to enjoy pool. Room was clean and spacious. We did have some issues within the room itself. The room safe was not working. Be aware that the plumbing was installed backwards for your hot/cold water. We weren't left any cleaning supplies for dishes or soap for the dishwasher. There is no washer or dryer in suite. Another thing to mention is this room has no balcony to it. We were disappointed to find this out when we arrived. It did have some good/bonus things to the complex though. Nice pool area, use of a bbq ( could have used an upgrade) , it appears that the building we stayed in was eventually getting an elevator installed ( started but on hold?) and a hot tub on the roof also there but not installed or running. This hotel does supply guests with golf carts to use( another serious upgrade needed. Several units not working). They supply you with beach chairs, umbrellas and bikes for guests to use which we did. Overall its a decent place but does require some work to the aging amenities.
