Guest Reviews
- David (8/5): Wind trip - I wanted ocean view and that's what i expected when booked. I was given a room without a ocean view.
- Jose (10/5): - Like Quality of Service... Did not like weak wi fi
- Antonio (2/5): - No running water at night throughout the property. Only certain rooms have Ocean Views. It’s a drive from city center.
- Manuel (6/5): - This place is a very basic hotel. No bells or whistle in the regular rooms. We stayed here because we were able to park our trucks and trailers that we used to pull our SXS.
- Patricia (6/5): - This is NOT a hotel it's an over priced very old motel. I payed for a bedroom with a family room and only got a tiny room. I asked the manager and she said expedia lied to me and wouldn't honor what I had booked. I will never come back here.
- Christina (6/5): 4th of July Stay - We basically paid for an amazing view and the beach front location. The place needs better TLC and hopefully they’ll upgrade their WiFi cause it was virtually non existent. If you need a quick sleep on the road I’d recommend otherwise there is much needed upgrades and improvements.
- Silvia (10/5): - Me gusto su ubicacion justo a un lado de agua mala
- carlos (8/5): - Great location next to an awesome brewery
- Victor (8/5): - El hotel esta perfecto y a buen precio solo si un poco rustico.
- Dustin (10/5): - Beautiful little inn next to the beach. Friendly staff whom also speak English.
- Rosalba (10/5): Awesome - View comfort distance
- lynda (6/5): Do not recommend this place if you want security. - The door to the room don’t not have a deadbolt lock only a lock like you would have on a bathroom door, also the windows didn’t lock. Bathroom sink faucet was broken and leaking all over the floor. I will definitely not stay again. We were only there for a few hours to sleep before continuing on our vacation so all of the problems were no big deal.
- Alberto (4/5): - no washing towels doors are 1 and half inch high from the floor bathroom facet back wars only couple Eletric Plug for $120.00 a night? I do not recommend you park on grave
- joey (4/5): - Great location, shower was clogged ,stayed at a suite which was not located by the beach, beach has a lot of stones( no sand here) a lot of noise in from the highway,
- robert (10/5): - small, simple, quiet, affordable. Ive stayed here a few time and love the location. Its a short walk to the beach at the trailer park next door.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - The property is nice as it feels secluded and safe. The Wifi is terrible. I don't reccomend it if you seriously need network connection. I stayed there 3 days and just on the second day I was briefly asked if I needed supplies. It's a nice place if you want to enjoy watching the waves but don't expect to go in the water. It has an extremely small rocky beach and when the high tide arrives, the beach disappears.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Great location right between downtown and San Antonio de las Minas event.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Clean with comfortable beds located on the outskirts of ensenada. I was happy overall with my stay. No internet access for me, they told me no password required but the signal was weak, this was a bummer for me. Front window closed but the lock was broken allowing anyone access to my unit, i was not happy about this and asked the lock be fixed they said they would fix in the morning and they never did.
- Verified traveler (4/5): Poor maintenance & stingy on towels - The place needs some TLC, it is well located. Not in tourist area, but close to the entrance. Several food options close by. Parking was convenient in front of the room. Read the reviews and my expectations were not high, but just needed a room for the night. Water does smell bad, but they do provide water for brushing teeth. Old building with very thin windows allows a lot of noise in from the highway. The beds are "sleepable", but you can start to feel the springs. My issue was with the service, interacted with night person and morning person. I reserved for 3 people, my Wife, my Son and me. After arrival, I asked for an additional towel for morning shower. Was asked if I had reserved for 3, which I had. It was a young kid, he said he didn't have access to towels and that the housekeeping staff did not arrive until 830am. Told him I needed to leave by 8am and needed an additional towel. Said he would try, never happened. The next morning at 730am I went to reception and there was a new clerk, older gentleman. Same thing, he asked if I paid for an extra person, and I told him I reserved for 3 PAX, so I was expecting 3 towels. He grudgingly went to an adjacent room and gave me an extra towel. Based on how stingy they are with towels, that is probably reason why they don't invest in updating and maintaining the place. Has a lot of potential, but they need to invest in their property and in towels. Will probably not stay here again.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - I don’t like a terrible smell of gas in all the properties. The private beach has a lot of stones.
- Verified traveler (4/5): Not trying to deal with the crazy owners again - Owner and wife were not nice. If they hadn’t disappointed us the stay would have been good. Got a suite which was not located by the beach but the beach was still a very short walk. There was a dead seal on the rocks though :(. There was a brewery right next to property :)My husband enjoys ipas. I really don’t.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Great place to stay. Near to all the brewers next to Aguamala, near to wendlandt and transpeninsular.
- Luke (4/5): - Bathroom sink clogged. Noisy road.
- Patrick (10/5): Pleasant and Comfortable Stay - The staff was fantastic. Place is quiet and well taken care of. We disnt stay where there was an ocean view. You can walk from your room a short ways to access the beach and or view the ocean. I would recommend and will stay again when I visit Ensenada
- JOSE (10/5): Nice, cozy little cottages - This was a last minute stay for us but very comfortable and pleasing. Everything was clean and the staff was friendly. Would definitely stay there again!
- Crystal (4/5): - My shower was clogged which made it a huge inconvenience
- Verified traveler (10/5): - It was awesome! I really loved the hotel ! All the employees were so friendly and efficient. All the requirementa for covid protection were covered
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Beautiful beach access pretty hahahahhahhahahaha hahah
- Samuel (10/5): Amazing Management - Management at hotel is one of the amazing caring people that I have stayed. They provided a nice romantic setting for Dinner, i.e. they provided all the amenities that was needed to eat next to the sea and have a beautiful setting and view.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Location was great and the place was very clean. The staff at check in was very nice. I like how the place is gated and you can park in front of your hotel room. Very good over all.
- Paula (8/5): - Overall, we liked the cleanliness and the location. It was nice to have access to a fridge and a cooktop, however the cooking tools were a bit lacking.
- BLopez (6/5): - The property is beautiful. Lots of green grass and trees. At check in we received 3 remotes. One for the heater and 2 for the TV. He gave me the instructions on how to turn on the TV. So at night time I couldn't remember how to use the darn things. That was frustrating and they don't gave paper instructions. Only 3 or 4 rooms have ocean view. We had to walk to the left of the property behind three other rooms to see the ocean. The guests there were staring at us the whole time. This property has no beach access or pool. You also need to turn in all three remotes during check out. I would stay again for a quick one night stay.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Very quiet and a short 10 min drive to downtown Ensenada.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Very secure property which is important. It is just north of downtown ensenada, an easy Uber ride in. Many places nearby to walk to for a drink and some food.
- Verified traveler (2/5): Never again - No ocean view from the room as stated on the web. Only 5 rooms have ocean views, none of the suites. Moved from one suite to another for repairs, then back because they rented the larger suite they gave us the day before. Occasional hot water and TV. No internet the entire 3 days. My wife is from Mexico and we vacation there several times a year. WORST hotel in over 30 years.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - It’s a small room but is comfortable, clean, fresh, the view to the sea is near and the price is low. Very good place. The market is near and near the Ensenada downtown.
- Pascale (10/5): Nice - Nice
- Verified traveler (10/5): Thank You California Villas y Hotel - Beautiful entry to the private beach , our room was perfect the amazing young woman at the office allowed us to change our room to a 2 bed at no extra cost , the cleaning ladies were amazing ! Would definitely recommend super nice area , parking was efficient, pretty good area to stay . Was worried about leaving my car and ubering it to downtown but it’s a pretty safe area
- Veronica (8/5): - Our stay was great and the property was excellent, clean, well kept, and freindly staff. There was a great view of the ocean, just very rocky area. Great breweries next door and walking distance. Helpful staff.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - The hotel was beautifully set on a cliff that overlooked the ocean, the staff were very nice, the room itself was beautiful
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Liked: private feeling, beach-front, beds were comfortable Did not like: no complimentary breakfast, TV could be larger
- Verified traveler (10/5): - The staff are truly amazing and went out of their way to help me. They were knowlable about the area and gave great tips.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - This was first time staying at this property. Check in was excellent, provided all info on how to TV, heating and cooling etc. Room was 1 king Size bed with ocean view. Nice patio with seating also a fenced lawn area (great if traveling with children). The room, linens,carpet were meticulously clean. As were the grounds. Parking was very spacious for each unit in the property. They are remodeling at this time - but we were never disturbed by noise. The property has different options Casitas, Standard Rooms, RV parking. No restaurant on site but numerous close by. Enjoyed our 1 night stay - would definitely stay here again.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Beautiful setting, short drive to restaurants and shopping
- Verified traveler (10/5): Amazing view - Great place to stay, if you wanna go down town you have to drive or uber but to totally worth the stay. The front desk staff goes above and beyond to make you feel at home. Wish they had a pool, although the view its amazing and kinda makes up for it :)
- Jean (10/5): - This is a wonderful, quiet hotel. We stayed for three nights for the Baja 1000 race in Ensenada. The hotel is only 1.8 miles from downtown. It sits right on a seawall next to the ocean and has four rooms just above the seawall where my husband and I stayed. We made good use of the porch/patio right outside our room as we had a beautiful view of the sunsets and watching the fishing boats and cruise ships as they made their way into Ensenada harbour. The staff is warm and welcoming. The only thing I had trouble with is you don't have a coffee pot/hot water pot for tea and coffee in the morning in your room. You have to go to the office and pay for a cup of coffee. Our room was very large and would accommodate a small coffee/beverage table. A small fridge would be nice to. From here, you can hop over to the Valle de Quadalupe and wine taste (fantastic Mexican wines) or go to the cheese shop (Tienda queso y vino) just up the road on the M3 as you head to the Valle de Quadalupe.
- Estefania (10/5): Cozy and Quiet Seaside Escape - The room was lovely, the decor was cute and the beds were amazingly comfortable. Everything was clean and in well kept condition. Our room didn’t have a beachfront view, however we did have a backdoor that led to a small patio/grilling area. The room also came with a well equipped kitchen, that was very handy to have. The staff was very polite and helpful whenever we had any questions about the local area. The lobby sells drinks such as water and juice, but that’s about it. Also the coffee is not complimentary, you also have to pay for that. Luckily there are convenience stores and supermarkets close nearby. The beach accesible from the hotel is very rocky and I don’t know that I would recommend swimming there, although we did see a group of surfers going out there. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone coming to spend a few days to explore the area and the wine route, as it’s more economical than many of the places in the valley and you also get to be seaside.
- HUGO (10/5): - Nice and simple. Cozy and super clean. Staff was excellent!
- Brian (10/5): Hidden Gem in Ensenada - Rooms were very comfortable and clean. Staff was amazing and very friendly. Check in was a breeze. Hotel is centrally located and safe. Would definitely stay there again.
- Karla (4/5): - Dead cockroaches on the room restroom has a cockroach that was still alive.Restroom sink was clogged and TV was not working. Rented a ocean view room payed for a ocean view it was only partial. Expensive for what they offer will not ever stay there again they are nicer hotels all around
