Very nice apartment within walking distance to the central tourist zone of Enseneda where all the main clubs and bars are at. The apartment is also a 25 minute drive to wine country (Valle de Guadalupe). The area is also safe.

Great Stay in Ensenada
El Refugio made our trip to Ensenada. Upon arrival we were met by Rigo who promptly provided keys and showed us around the unit. The location was great and walking distance to all that downtown has to offer (1st street, fish market, restaurants, marina). Also a short 40min drive to Valle de Guadalupe/wine country. Price was definitely high compared to other options, but you’re also not getting a 2 bedroom apartment, gated/private parking, and full kitchen with those. Great stay.

Great view
Easy to get to. Access kind of tricky. Property really nice with a nice view. There is no front desk or office so paying at the property took forever since the terminal wasn’t working. Had to go to the bank to pay in cash with the risk of having the card blocked because of so many attempts to pay. Advertised with washer and drier but no laundry detergent. Overall it was a nice stay.

Baja friendly and spacious
We arrived for the Baja 400 and loved it. There was 2 private parking spaces with a gated entrance. So everything was safe. My only concern was that since my wife was in a cast it was a bit troublesome to get up the stairs but we managed. We will be staying here for additional Baja Races. Worth every penny

Amazing
This was our first time staying at El Refugió and our expectations were definitely exceeded. It’s really modern and clean with a great view. It’s gated and our carport was directly under our apartment. Luis, who is on site was an amazing host. He’s super friendly, attentive and was always available to us. We had such a wonderful experience. We will definitely stay again.

Enjoyed our stay.
Surpassed our expectations. Very clean and modern with friendly staff and great view. Property is at the top of a hill and gated so felt very safe and had no worries about our vehicle overnight. A short walk to all the action in town. Included WiFi is lighting fast. Kitchen is stocked with the basics, utensils, a few plates, cups, mugs, coffe maker, toaster, etc. Will definitely stay here again.
