I came to Guadalupe Valley with my boyfriend for a long weekend and wasn't sure what to expect. And…read morewow we were blown away! The property itself was beautiful, grape vines everywhere, a beautiful pool/hot tub area and a fountain with a view of the valley in the background. The room was very spacious and the beds were comfortable. The best part about the room was the view and the patio overlooking the view. The service was perfect, everyone was extremely friendly and helpful. And not all the staff can speak perfect English, but it was easy to communicate with everyone, and I cannot express just how friendly every staff member was. This hotel had everything we needed. There are two restaurants on site, one that is open for breakfast/lunch, and closes around 5pm and another that is open for dinner and opens around 5-6pm. The dinner restaurant on site Aledano, is newer and the Chef is incredible, he came to speak with us and make recommendations and when I told him I was vegetarian he prepared the Orzo dish without meat and honestly, it was one of the best things I've ever tasted. There is also a beautiful winery on site with wonderful wine. Everything about this hotel is perfect. I would recommend it more for couples given how romantic is can be but would be great alone or with friends as well! I cannot wait to go back and visit!

The sauce paired with it created such a rich and flavorful combination -- definitely one of the highlights of our trip. Everything tasted elevated and beautifully prepared. This makes me even more excited to come back to Ensenada and continue exploring more exquisite 5-star dining experiences. The food scene here is seriously amazing. I'll definitely be recommending Almatierra to my family and friends. If you're in Ensenada and love flavorful, upscale dining, this place is worth checking out!

Ojo Azul in Valle de Guadalupe is a really lovely spot for a romantic, peaceful getaway…read more The hotel has a unique charm; it includes a small winery, a restaurant, and even a cave cellar you can go wine tastingin, which was honestly one of the coolest parts of the experience. It definitely feels like a special place that's more about relaxing and enjoying the wine country vibes than doing anything busy or fast-paced. The rooms are separate from each other, so it feels very private and quiet.. Perfect if you're looking to disconnect and have a calm weekend away... Our room was clean and had plenty of space... The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the shower was roomy... They also have a refrigerator stocked with Their in house wine bottles you can choose from, which adds a fun touch... The property has a pool and spa area, but just keep in mind it's communal, there aren't private hot tubs or private spa setups in the rooms... Still, everything was well-maintained and relaxing... Pricing felt reasonable compared to other hotels in Valle, especially for how nice and comfortable everything was... One thing to note: Valle de Guadalupe is very spread out. This isn't a place to stay if you want nightlife or to be within walking distance of multiple wineries. You'll definitely need to drive to get around, and some of the roads are unpaved... The host was also extremely welcoming.. We arrived late after hours, and they were still available at the front desk, answered all our questions, and made us feel really comfortable... Overall, Ojo Azul is a beautiful, clean, romantic place to stay if you're looking for a quiet wine country escape. Would definitely recommend for couples looking to unwind..

I loved watching the stars from our bed at night and watching the birds fly over us in the morning while still in bed. Great customer service, especially Johnny and Toño and the chef who cooked a delicious themed Dia de Los Muertos dinner.

Save yourself a headache. I tried contacting the hotel by phone and email the day before to request…read morean upgrade, and no one responded. The next morning, while I was on the phone with reservations and finally somebody answered my call, the website changed in real time and the room I was looking at disappeared. It honestly felt really sketchy. Then they tried to charge me double over WhatsApp for the exact same room I had just seen listed at a much lower price. On top of that, my calls were disconnected twice, and I kept getting different explanations from different people. The manager was the only person who handled the situation kind of professionally, but he still didn't resolve the problem. He never returned my phone call he only messaged me on WhatsApp, which was weird. I don't even have WhatsApp, so I had to download the app just to communicate with them, which was also annoying. By then, the room was already gone. At this point, I'd rather lose my money than deal with this kind of customer service again. Definitely not the experience I expected

This property offers always offers our group a great experience!!!…read more We have had nothing but good service and experiences here. Besides the good wine, the food at the restaurant is tasty and service is VERY attentive! Drinks are delicious with good ingredients!! We also rent their gorgeous house at the property. Due to this , when we arrive, they always offer us complimentary sangria before we head to the house. The house is a wonderful space with everything we could need. Very modern open concept. We always enjoy our stay and will continue to stay here in the future when we come in our large group of friends and family. This house is set for a group of 12 people. If you have more people, you can also rent the additional villas. We always recommend this home to everyone who is looking for a shone for a larger group!!! Thank you to everyone that always make us feel welcomed here at Xaroma!!! See you again soon!

It was my very first time in Ensenada, and my very first winery in Mexico…read more And I can surely say that it was indeed the highlight of the weekend. From the moment you step upon their dirt parking lot, to every step climbing up to the restaurant, and overlooking the meadows, it was absolutely beautiful. The architecture of this place is magnificent. They have two stories to venture through, and I suppose a cave, but we didn't get a chance to go inside. Surprisingly it was not busy at all, and our large group were seated immediately. We decided to get a bunch of tapas and entrees to share, along with two recommended bottles of wine. One white and one red, which were both tasty. Bone Marrow + Grasshopper Sauce Roasted Bone Marrow spread over on bread is always delicious! And just in case you're wondering, yes there's real grasshopper in the sauce, and we all ate grasshopper for the first time. It was basically like a spicy marmalade spread. Duck Breast + Orange Sauce & Burnt Onion Duck meat was tender and sauce paired well. Green Catch of the Day Ceviche + Persian Cucumber & Avocado The ceviche was delicioussss. A simple concoction that looked and tasted great with tortilla chips. Potato Gnocchi +Suckling Pig Sauce, Padua, Zucchini This was also yummy. Chewy, tender. Dates + Goat Cheese & Honey This was a very delicious pairing of fruit, cheese and honey. Fried Churros con Dulce de Leche This was probably the best churros I've ever had in my life. It was extremely soft, warm, and melts in your mouth! Overall, I would definitely come here again, and next time, I'm heading to the raw oyster bar!

I have this former colleague-forever friend (yes, those things can be possible) who is even more…read moresocial than me and knows everybody. And that somebody also include one of the co-owners of the Encuentro winery or Encuentro Guadalupe antiresort, on the way from Tecate to Ensenada, middle of somewhere but really feeling like you are nowhere close from normal life. I heard about this place, half winery, half farm-to-table-high end restaurant, with a touch of 'glamping resort' because I had seen the pictures in some glossy mags about how the rich and famous travel. No worries, if I could go and spend the day, you can do it too. Because you really don't need to fork the $400 per minimalist-repurposed materials-beauty meets form factor cute boxes on the rocks. You can just go for the drinks and the food and you make a nice day trip from San Diego. Looks like crossing from Tecate is the easiest and fastest way, at least on the way back. Encuentro used to be called Endemico, and I am glad they changed the name, as it denotes something negative. Something that neither the environment, not the fertile nature nor the grapes are. Wine is abundant and the fruits from the land too. The winery includes 11 acres of mountain vineyards, you will enjoy a wine tasting bar open to the public from 11 am every day and an underground cellar, for which you need to make a group reservation. The vineyards produce Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Blanc and Nebiolo, among other varietals. This is a very peaceful place to be and extremely photogenic, showing all the splendor of the Guadalupe Valley, making great panoramas. Just watch out with the traffic...not the best drivers around there!

Located in the heart of a lot of wineries en La Valle de Guadalupe. The road leading to this place…read moreis all dirt, so prepare yourself for the road to be bumpy and dusty. There are 8 parking spaces conveniently located at the front. The property has three sweet and old dogs named Yogi, Vanilla, and Chocolate. They like to approach people and greet; just don't try to pet them. The outdoor space consists of a shaded and lit cabana, grill, jacuzzi, and two hammocks over fresh grass. There is also a nice outdoor area for visitors to sit and eat on picnic benches. We were a big party, so we reserved 6 rooms (rooms1-6); I stayed in room 2. The white bed sheets were clean, the furniture was dated, the walls are painted, but chipped. The bathroom and shower were not clean to my expectations. Before using the bathroom sink and shower, make sure to run the water for a few minutes because a foul order came up from the water being stagnant during their down times. Your free breakfast options are very delicious chilaquiles, machaca, omelette, huevos rancheros, frijjoles, and fresh and delicious fruit! Everyone working there was very nice!

The staff at the hotel as well as the restaurant were great and accommodating. Free breakfast, and they aren't skimping on ANYTHING! Fresh squeezed juice, coffee, fruit, bread with jelly, and your choice of entree. We had dinner there both nights we stayed and both meals were great! The pizza and paella are not be overlooked. There's a pool table, fire pit, and hammocks for lazing about after a nice day of wine tasting. Two tips for hotel guest: Bring an extra couple of bottles of water just in case your wine hangover kicks in at 4am and nothing is open. Bring soap for the bathroom-no toiletries provided
