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.

We have stayed at Refugio del Mar three times over the past year. The rooms have always been very clean, excellent customer service from check-in to check-out, and a great location in Zona Dorado. Lots of dining options nearby and a shorth walk to the beach. We always enjoy our stay at Refugio!
