Ray and his staff of safe and competent drivers deliver 10/10 VIP service each time we have used them. Ray knows the Valle region very well and can provide recommendations that match exactly what you are looking for. The all inclusive wine tasting options are the best, and I wouldn't do it any other way! There is no better way to travel from the border down to wine country than with this company and we can't wait to experience the magic Valle offers over and over again with Ray and his team! Thanks Ray!

My friends and I weren't too sure of how the process would be since they picked us up after we walked across the border. We booked our rides through WhatsApp and the communication was super easy. They were super responsive, and the day before our designated rides, they shared the driver's number for us to connect directly. Our driver down to Valle was named Elias and made the whole process so simple! He picked us right outside of where we came out after crossing the border. He was super friendly and wanted to make sure we were comfortable for the drive. He told us a little bit about Valle and how he's lived there for 25 years. On my way back, I had a different driver, who was Natalie. She was super nice and the ride back was so quick, probably because it was the morning and traffic wasn't too bad in Tijuana yet. She was helpful in directing me to find the line to cross the border. Without the direction from her, I would have definitely been confused. They made this whole process so seamless! They were on time and available for all the questions I had leading up to the rides as well. I will for sure use them in the future any time I'm traveling somewhere driving distance in Mexico!

We added on a wine tour in the valley too. Ivan our driver, a native of the valley, was extremely friendly and knowledgeable about the valley, even providing excellent restaurant recommendations.

They even suggested and helped us get a fast pass for border crossing that saved us 3 hours in crossing the border. Great team and service.

My only regret was not booking a couple days for the trip to the valley, will definitely book again next time we're in San Diego.

He picked us up early right at the border, and the pickup was unbelievably smooth and easy -- the perfect stress-free start to the day. From the moment we met him, he was warm, friendly, and genuinely kind. His car was super comfortable, and he immediately adjusted the music and temperature to our preferences, which made the whole experience feel relaxed and personalized. We were originally planning to visit four wedding venues, but Danny went above and beyond -- thanks to his insider local knowledge and great suggestions, we ended up touring TEN venues in one day. There's no way we could have pulled that off without him. At each stop, he dropped us off right on time, picked us up promptly, and even helped communicate with venue staff so everything ran smoothly. It really felt like he always had our backs. He also made an amazing last-minute lunch recommendation that turned out to be one of the highlights of the day. Danny got us home safely, and we're so grateful for how easy, fun, and seamless he made the entire experience. I truly cannot recommend him enough -- 10/10 would absolutely book again.

We specialize in small and intimate tours designed to your specifications. We are very flexible involving our clients in the tour rather than having one cookie-cutter tour for everyone. We can do a tour anyday as long as we have at least four passengers wanting to tour. If you are celebrating an occasion such as a birthday or anniversary, the entire van can be rented for $325 for the day and you can take up to 8 friends for a private tour. We will pick up your party from Tijuana Airport or the San Ysidro border for an additional $75. The Guadalupe Valley is located approx. 45 miles south of the San Diego border just north of Ensenada. It is unlike any other wine country started in1800's by Jesuit priests but now has over 100 wineries. It is special and unique, but is also spread out. Without a guide, you can easily get lost!

I had a great time! Beat my expectations a lot given the extremely low price. So the room was WAY bigger than expected for what I paid for it. I understand that it was the suite, but I wasn't expecting a large suite at all because it was so cheap. The front service was super friendly, helpful, everything. They were able to facilitate complimentary early check-in as well. In short, the service was very good and everyone at the front desk was super helpful and accomodating. Apparently there's some sketchy areas nearby if you walk to Old Town through a very weird direction (you should actually cross the street and go through the underground passage). Location is convenient, the prices are SUPER affordable, and it's just overall nice and cozy. Complimentary breakfast was also nice and easy. Had a very pleasant stay and would likely stay here again the next time I'm in this part of San Diego!

It may not be the most updated hotel on the boardwalk, but it has everything you need. The staff is always welcoming, the house keeping staff are friendly and trustworthy, the parking lot is gated and secured by a guard throughout the day, the rooms are always clean the grounds are well maintained, and after all the years of being loyal visitors, we have yet to experience anything negative at this property. I love that the grounds are secure and you can allow your children to go into the courtyard area and play the provided games with peace of mind- knowing that they'll be safe. They provide tons of outdoor seating options and grills for tenants, which makes cooking a breeze. In order to enter from the beach/boardwalk, you must have a room key to enter the premises- another awesome perk. This keeps all the riff-raft out of the area. &At night, they also require a room key to enter through the front of the building- which is a newer feature, and much appreciated. You can leave your beach toys & chairs outside your room without worrying about someone coming to steal it. We have locked our bikes up downstairs in the courtyard area & nobody messes with them. This is such a great place to stay & an amazing tradition that our family has. We look forward to our visit every May!

There's a Ralph's right across the street so you can stock up the kitchen and save on food. The staff here is extraordinarily helpful. My wife and I are in our seventies and they are so accommodating and go the extra mile to help with all reservation needs. We're going back in October!

A couple of friends were visiting from San Francisco and had one extra night left at this hotel that were not going to use it. So since they were taking me for dinner at nearby Jake's, my girlfriend offered me the empty room for the night so I didn't have to drive in the dark and also enjoy a beautiful morning doing my 10,000 steps while simultaneously meditating and recording an episode of my podcast in Spanish. I loved the room super spacious and with everything I needed (even if the coffee machine did not work for me). Being right there by the beach was a total treat. I feel loved by my friends, especially since I have not been out of San Diego since past September for budget reasons doing multiple jobs at the time. So I appreciate this generosity and being at Del Mar Beach hotel as it is one of my favorite beaches and brings so much joy. The decor in the small lobby is very surfer, cool vibe. Similar inside the room. The restaurant does not have restaurant for breakfast but they offer free coffee and you can buy simple sweets (although there are plenty of options to eat nearby). Parking at the back of the hotel, no problem finding a spot and it is validated. Awesome experience, chill people, glorious sunsets from there!

The website says they have parking. And they do. 25 parking spaces for 50 rooms.

The place they told me to move to offers no in and out ...and you get a $40 ticket after 10pm. You want to watch a movie? You can't. The TV kept randomly turning off and then would take a minute to reset so you could get back to the movie. You want a dark room so you can sleep? You can't have that the windows have plastic plantation shutters that let a lot of light in. You want it quiet? Nice. Try. There's a fan running 24/7 in the bathroom. You can't turn it off. And the train tracks look like they are 100 ft away- but in the middle of the night it sounds like it's in the room. Oh did you finally fall asleep but now you gotta go oee. Guess what? The automatic bathroom light is BLINDINGLY BRIGHT and you can't turn it off. (You can, but it turns back on 5 seconds later) Now I know why they give you Chardonnay so hopefully you'll just be chill with all of this. $600/night? This place is a joke.

To begin with, we did not encounter any of the "super friendly" staff mentioned in other reviews. In fact, the only interactions we had were overhearing staff laughing and chatting loudly while guests were trying to sleep. It felt unprofessional and inconsiderate. The walls were incredibly thin--we could hear everything, including conversations and people walking through the hallways. There was absolutely no sense of privacy. On top of that, the mattress was very uncomfortable, making it difficult to get any proper rest. The shower also had visible mold, which was surprising given how highly the property is reviewed for cleanliness. Overall, I would never stay here again.
