Hotels near El Refugio

We got the room we wanted, with a fantastic view - big thanks to Victor!! The live cello player at breakfast was a great touch, too! And we liked it so much, that friends from Canada will be joining us here next week! 🇨🇦 🍁

The staff were amazing, really friendly and welcoming, you feel at home when you come to this hotel. There is a cool outdoor gym that we used everyday and a work space in the trees with the iguanas, so cool!

Our room was very large, clean and comfortable... The included breakfast was traditional Mexican and very good ... We opted to include the waterpark in our stay and had a great time splashing around with a lot of local families who were enjoying their vacation time there as well... Our flight left late in the evening and we were able to check our bags in storage and remain at the property, enjoying a full day in the sun at the waterpark up until the last moment before we hopped in an Uber and went to the airport... Also, the bus stopped directly in front of the hotel (heading south towards PVR) so that was cool because we had taken the local bus from Lo de Marcos and had our bags with us... We could have easily taken the bus to the airport as well if we had wanted to...🥰❤️🥰

About 20 minutes drive to Puerto Vallarta, 10 mins to Nuevo Nayarit. Underground parking, staff super helpful. The room was great, clean, with air-conditioning, and the breakfast buffet was very good with a great selection of food.

Lots of employees, all doing a great job.

I had booked a room with 2 beds but when we arrived we were given a room with 1 king sized bed. However, the staff worked very hard to get this corrected and by the end of the day we were moved to a room with 2 beds. We liked everything about our stay at the Melia. We would like to go back next year and stay in the tower that faces the ocean.

This is a fantastic resort in a quiet neighborhood of the city. it is a middle size resort, not too big as it would be impersonal and dispersive, not too small so it can guarantee consistent service and facilities. the pool area is very curated with a beautiful garden. I really recommend this place. The only thing to keep in mind is that prices can fluctuate a lot according to the availability - if you get an offer for around ~100 Eur, this is really a great deal! High standards of cleanliness, service, everything freshly painted and renovated.

The property has been remodeled since our last visit to include a separate restaurant area away from the bar. The addition of a Starbucks in the lobby was a boon for my wife. They really upped their breakfast game, too. Staff were friendly and accommodating as usual. We found out on the morning we checked out that the hotel offers a courtesy bus to and from the Male on between the hours of 08:30-01:00. We did that trip in Ubers so many times!

Lots of variety for Breakfast! The hosts were awesome and so friendly.

The breakfasts were always delicious with a wide variety of taste selections. Location of the restaurant is very accessible. The staff is excellent. The festivities they arranged for Superbowl Sunday and Valentines Day were wonderful. The service around the pool was superb. Already looking forward to going back next year. Also the concierge named Luis was extremely helpful with booking a snorkel trip and helping us out when my friend left his cell phone in a cab. We did get the phone back.

Literally a few minutes walk from the airport, reasonable price which included free breakfast. Clean and comfortable with friendly staff. You can’t go wrong.

Love this hotel and staff are amazing

Friendly helpful staff, comfortable bed, delicious breakfast in the morning.
