“Staying in El Refugio was the absolute highlight of my trip in Mexico. The place is beautiful, playful (a climbing wall and a net above the pool, hammocks everywhere, cats napping), the rooms are beautiful and Marcelo truly goes above and beyond to make this place a friendly, welcoming and eco friendly paradise.”

“The place is away from the busy and loud part of Sayulita but close enough to walk besides the owner offered us a ride several times. He is very kind and attentive. The place is itself has everything you need.”

“Marcel at the accommodations was fantastic. We realize it is a new property and he is continuously working on it. We stayed in the cabin/terrace overlooking the pool. It’s a very neat room, however no sound proofing in walls or doors/windows, since the walls are just boards and the doors/windows just screens. The resident gato is very friendly as well. If we returned to Sayulita, we would stay here again. ”

“Overall a below average experience, especially as it cost nearly $200 USD. The room itself was spacious and thoughtful designed, and the pool was heated and very nice. The garden area had nice landscaping. The place was not customer service oriented or particularly welcoming, so the atmosphere was not comfortable for us. ”
