    View from the cabin!

    We did not know what really to expect, although I had read all the reviews carefully for at least 10 places in the Valle de Guadalupe. So happy we landed on Contemplación! We want to commend Paco, the owner, for his attention to every detail in the design of the cabañas, each of which has a glorious view of the valley and mountains. And the pool has the most beautiful siting of all. The restaurant (and its wonderful staff) were a joy--we enjoyed the very good breakfast every day (included with the room) and a few other meals as well. It's nice to have a truly indoor restaurant when it is chilly or too hot--all delivered through the solar panels at the site. We wished the jacuzzi was a little warmer in the chilly winter, but the deep pool is excellent for some quick laps. We hope to return.

    Wow!!! First time in Valle and Contemplación guaranteed an amazing experience. I was a little nervous about coming to Mexico but There was minimal worry as long as you are cautious. The drive from Tijuana border to Valle was easy. Finding hotel using google maps easy- with a bit off roading. Contemplación gave us the most unique experience we could ever have in states. I have been to Napa, Temecula and Paso Robles and nothing compares. You get a unique campo experience with five star restaurants and wine. The hotel and service are five star. The room has you feeling like you are camping in a vineyard. We called reception at night for help and they came right away. The grounds are amazing and enjoyed my daily walks. The fire pits at night are the cherry on top. Enjoying a last minute drink with friends in a vineyard under the stars. I would highly recommend and would love to return.

    This review is primarily for the restaurant Savila Blanca at the Hotel Contemplación. The restaurant is located in the main building of the hotel, which consists of various cottages scattered on the hillside once you enter the hotel grounds. The restaurant has a modern feel with stunning views of the surrounding countryside. The restaurant offers a limited menu of local Baja med fare, including chamorro (pork shank), roasted marrow bones, jaiba (crab) burritos, and some assorted tacos. There is also a cheese platter, although their wine selection is limited. Everything is somewhat pricey ($15+), but the food was well prepared with fresh ingredients. The real star in my opinion are the craft beers they offer, prepared in house and infused with local fruits and herbs. The sage one is particularly good. As for the hotel itself, I did not stay here but according to staff it has a dynamic pricing structure with the cottages costing up to $500 per night. A staff member showed our party one of the loft-type cottages and they are spartanly decorated but have floor to ceiling views of the surrounding countryside. The bathrooms were elegant, with standalone tub and rainfall showers. The loft cottage had a king size bed on the top level and bunk beds on the lower level. There is no TV but the room had a projector setup to connect to your laptop for Netflix, etc. The hotel is definitely designed with retreat and solace in mind, but whether that's worth $500 a night seems unlikely, as there is nothing to do on the grounds and there are better and more luxurious hotels in the area for a lesser price. The views are definitely impressive, though.

    Stayed here for 2 nights in the 1 bedroom suite. The room had a living room, kitchenette, large bathroom, bedroom and 2 large decks with views of the valley. Check in was quick and the staff was amazing. The food at the restaurant was the best we've had in the area. You can get to most wineries and restaurants within 10-15 minutes. Would definitely stay again.

    Views are amazing! The staff was Covid-conscious and super friendly. Complimentary breakfast was amazing. There's a dirt road to get into Contemplacion and even with GPS we missed it. I docked 1 star because if it's a boutique and paying high dollars for 1 stay then I feel like the towels should be of better quality. They were on the rough side and it wasn't because of lack of fabric softener. Other than that, I would highly recommend.

    We travel constantly, and I have to say the upgraded room is one of our favorite places we have ever stayed... The area is up-and-coming, so there are a lot of gravel roads, but there is amazing food nearby such a Deckmans, which is very expensive, but well worth it and la cocina de doña Estella, which has been voted the best breakfast restaurant in the entire world... If you want to try out the restaurant, make sure you're there before 8 o'clock otherwise there will be about a mile of cars waiting... But back to the hotel, it was perfect in every way... Very romantic. The only negative is there are not very many food choices locally as Guadalupe valley is in a somewhat remote location, but that adds to the charm and does not take away anything from the experience... You just need to plan ahead and bring groceries to cook whatever you want to eat when you don't wanna go out... For the price, this place is well worth it, you won't regret it.

    Beautiful hotel customer service was exceptional from reception to waiters everyone is great ! The hotel was very cute with great views !

    Everything about this place is a lie. Starting with all the fake 5 star reviews made a month ago when this hotel wasn't even open. There is no local breakfast, as pictures show, only fruit and yogurt. The owner put the cheapest queen beds in every room and the whole room shakes when you walk around. Like it's about to fall over. The host told us we could not use toilet paper in the toilet and there was a trash can that we had to use. It was never emptied during our 2 day stay. The rooms are located at the top of a steep dirt road which I challenge anyone to drive up in a normal car. My lifted 4 x 4 had a hart time. When problems arose the management was unpleasant and rude. Clearly they have a thing or two to learn about hospitality. I do not recommend this place as they will not treat you properly and the owner Paco and his daughter on the property have no say at the end of the day, just some jerk called Anthony in Chula Vista who should go back to washing cars.

    December 2024 I met a group of French in one of the wineries…read morewhom told us about this place. My husband who is French and I were travelling in an RV; the group we met said that the place did not seemed full and that we for sure could find lodging there. To get to this place was a bit of a challenge since the roads are not paved. Our RV is only 20 feet long; not a big one. When we arrived although we saw the place somewhat empty the person in the office said that there was absolutely no vacancy. Since we are not from Mexico, we were very concerned and worried about returning on that road; it was also dark. We would had paid for lodging or letting us just park our RV in the front as there was a lot of space. She was a bit rude and did not care for foreigners and their safety. We never would had wanted to park without paying; There was just so much parking even in the back of the office. We had to return on that dirt road in the dark. Luckily a very nice young lady helped us find a Campsite. We always made sure never to travel at night but it just got dark by 5. I don't know who the owner of this place is but if a foreigner is a bit lost or for their safety, they should be a little bit nicer.

The host was so sweet and made sure we were taken care of. We had the king room and it was perfect size for a family of 3. The decor is modern/Scandinavian. The units had heat and A/C. We didn't use the AC but the heat worked well. There were little touches throughout our room (that I will let you discover on your own!). Everything was well thought out. The bed was super comfortable and we loved the bedding! We had an amazing breakfast the next morning delivered to our room. They are super kid friendly - with a baby package, some animals on site and a playground! There is a sauna, spa, beer and fire pit one site. We want to come back with a bunch of friends some time!

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!

I'm not surprised they decided to move their business to Airbnb, probably hoping that people won't see their bad reviews. Again very interesting. Where do I start? The showers had chunks of hairs from the previous guests. Dead bugs in the bathroom. Coffee stains on the tables from previous guest. They made no attempt to make us whole or complimentary anything. Only offered to clean the room again, which upon seeing it, we decided we couldn't stay there due to it being unsanitary. Save your money and go elsewhere. We had the most magical experience at Don Tomas cleanliness 10/10. Staff wasn't as rude.

The only thing is the place is not a wine resort yet they still have a long way to go. I am sure eventually they will get there. If looking for basic affordable accommodations this is the place for you, they actually have 3 categories of rooms one to fit every budget! Close to many wineries and everything else the valley has to offer. I really felt safe here and can't wait to go back with a group of people so I could enjoy the big fire pit that's central to the little bungalow rooms!!

    Wine vineyard resort in Encuentro Guadalupè Just a 2 hour…read moredrive from San Diego. Drove through the vineyard where the air smelled sweet. The resort allowed our dog Gucci which is neat. Surrounded by wine the whole weekend through. Private eco-loft with the prettiest view. You can peek out and see the vineyards down below. And watch the stars twinkle putting on a show. They have a gourmet restaurant beside the infinity pool. And they bring your food and drinks so you can stay cool. I recommend avocado toast and dragon fruit cocktail And you can walk through the vineyards and follow the trail. This wine paradise feels a million miles away. I'd recommend for a weekend get away.

    There is absolutely no doubt that Encuentro is one of the more beautiful stays south of San Diego…read more It is a unique loft hidden on a vineyard hill with excellent views of the Guadalupe Valley. The good: They offer most things a hotel/resort would, excellent dining, scenic views, valet transport, clean spaces. The bad: The terrain to drive and walk on is rough. To go to the pool/restaurant you will have a short walk through a dirt path which is not terrible but can be freezing in the evening. The only comfortable furniture in the loft will be the bed, otherwise everything else will be industrial wood and cast iron furniture. The shuttle drivers are the only reason they are not getting less of a rating. They were polite, helpful and timely. The front office staff, though nice, were not willing to help with much else. Overall, This is a stunning location for a short stay. Loved soaking in the sunset sitting next to a fire with a glass of cabernet. For the price, I truly believe it could be better! A full length mirror, comfortable seating in the rooms (the poolside furniture is great), better barking set up because its an unpaved rough ascent to the parking area. On my next trip to Valle, I would look for something with more of a homey/hotel feel as Encuentro is more of an experience.

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!

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
