About this property

Welcome to Refugio del Sol Hotel & Club de Playa

Refugio del Sol Hotel & Club de Playa is a tranquil oceanfront resort situated on the waterfront overlooking the Pacific Ocean near the Chocohuital Estuary. Nestled amid tropical forest, it offers a secluded setting about 20 km from Highway 200 and 23 km from the Pijijiapan railway station, making it a quiet retreat for travelers seeking natural surroundings. The property features open-air dining with a bar and grill, alongside a spa and several outdoor pools.

Facilities include an open-air restaurant serving meals throughout the day, although some guests have noted mixed experiences with the food and service quality. The resort's smaller size—with approximately 15 rooms and a peaceful atmosphere—provides an intimate environment with clean manicured lawns, bamboo huts, and organized pool areas. Guests can also enjoy boat rides across a calm lagoon to reach the nearby beach, a popular activity praised for its scenic appeal.

The resort welcomes diverse visitors, including being LGBTQ+ friendly, and offers a relaxed pace distinct from more crowded beach destinations. Access requires approximately a 3.5-hour car ride from Ángel Albino Corzo International Airport. Nearby points of interest include Playa Grande, Río de Pijijiapan, and Piedra Del Burro, which provide additional options for outdoor activities.

Overall, Refugio del Sol Hotel & Club de Playa suits travelers comfortable with a remote location who prioritize natural beauty and peacefulness over high-end dining or extensive amenities. While some feedback highlights room for improvement in restaurant service and onsite offerings, the setting and tranquil environment remain the resort's strongest draws.

Un lugar cómodo, limpio y con gente súper agradable. La oferta de comida está riquísima, con opciones para todos los gustos (Lis camarones al coco, una delicia!). Súper recomendado ir en coche para poder recorrer los alrededores con calma y aprovechar todo lo que ofrece la zona. También tomamos el barquito y cruzamos hacia el Pacífico: la ubicación es preciosa. Quedé enamorada del lugar y con muchas ganas de regresar.

La vista es muy bella. Cuenta con un restaurante con cual cambia de de menú dependiendo la hora ( desayuno, comida u cena) honestamente el menú de comida no es muy bueno, sin embargo desayunos y cenas muy buenos. Faltan algunos meseros en el área de la piscina pero fuera de eso es muy agradable. En relación al dos los precios son muy accesibles y puedes tener el masaje en tu habitación o en el jardín.

El lugar está de peluche, muy muy bonito las inscripciones muy bien, solo el restaurant NADA recomendable, mal servicio (súper lentos) la comida insípida, lo único bueno fue el postre y aún para llevar el postre (que ése si se supone ya está preparado) tardaron como 20 minutos en llevarlo, así que si vienen a éste lugar usen las instalaciones pero vayan a comer a otro lugar (casa mándala) que está junto ( al otro lado) o cualquier otro lugar. Es mi opinión y experiencia en ese lugar.

The hotel was beautiful and clean. There was a power outage when we arrived but once it got dark they started a generator and gave us power to our room and for the lights around the pool. This hotel is not part of the club de playa and therefore only have two small pools but we went midweek and were the only ones there so we loved it. It is 40 pesos per person to take the boat across the lagoon to the beach but we didn’t have time to go. We have been to the beach before and it is lovely. We can’t wait to go back. Everything was wonderful

Very attractive accomodations. Clean manicured lawn and beautiful garden with small pools to cool off. Bamboo huts and umbrellas for sun. Everything very organized and clean. Also attractive lighting at night. Very remote location, so very peaceful with view of the lagoon bay. You can go in a boat ride up the lagoon to search for alligators. Restaurant is decent. But breakfast not really included. They only include a very small fruit plate, toast and coffee. The rest you have to pay for. The beds are a little small and the sink water is salty, but not the end of the world. There are also a few rooms with king beds. Nearest larger town is 30 minutes away but nothing to brag about. Overall very nice hotel for a peaceful weekend with family or for a couple.
