We loved our 8 day stay at the beautiful Refugio del Mar in Bucerias! We stayed in Big John, which is one of the larger units that features 2 bedrooms with king sized (very comfy) beds, 2 bathrooms (both with fabulous spacious showers), living room (with a pull-out bed), kitchen, washer/dryer, private balcony overlooking the street and a huge shared patio overlooking the gorgeous and immaculate courtyard and pool. The property is gated, and you can only enter after being buzzed in. The beach is just a couple blocks down the street, as well as the town taxi service. Jorge, the manager, is a wealth of information and is always ready to provide assistance or recommendations. The owner, Carlos, dropped everything he was doing one day to drive my mom and me in his truck to a nearby bank. The only thing he would consider taking as a "thank you" was a shot of tequila, lol. I highly recommend the small restaurant directly across the street, Los Tejabanes, for breakfast and lunch. Eddie and his family provided fabulous, authentic Mexican meals that we enjoyed multiple times during our stay.
