Love the loads of avocado on the ceviche. The Pollo Fajitas look and taste good too. Great place to unwind with ceviche and a drink. It is a small restaurant- I don't think they can accommodate larger groups. Don't come here ... I kind of like the vibe - not a lot of people know it's here - it's a hidden gem. So go down to Encanto or Splash.

Quaint, athentic and welcoming of surfers and travelers of all kinds. The manager Antonio is a true blessing to this already adorable motel. He will make sure you have anything you need.

However if you are looking for a real Mexican experience this is the place to be.

It was a busy Memorial weekend, hard to find a room down in Baja. even harder to find a reasonably…read morepriced room. But I found the place and called and made a reservation for two nights. When I got there the people were fantastic and we decided to add an extra night. they are renovating the place as we speak and have 4 or 5 rooms out of 9 available. Anthony the manager was fantastic, he made every effort to make sure that we were happy and comfortable. would you like coffee in the morning? Anthony delivers it. the owner also stays on the property and is very kind to his guests. If you're a surfer it's the perfect place, Antonio teaches surfing, if you are already a surfer he is more than glad to take you out to all the great waves and spots. If you're not a surfer no problem you can walk one block down and have numerous fantastic restaurants and bars to choose from no driving required. I would certainly recommend this place to anyone who does not require five star service in a five star resort but is willing to take a chance with a small business owner and a small hotel. thank you to the hotel and its staff for all the excellent treatment.

You can't beat the location -- right on the cliffs overlooking the beautiful beach and crashing waves. The hotel itself has always been funky, built Ramshackle into the side of the cliff. However, it has gone a bit from quaint and unique to run down and in need of some major renovation and TLC. (Many items not working, like lights, fans, TVs, etc). We did enjoy our stay, and can't beat the price starting at $100 per night (cash). We always love getting some food and drinks on their patio with the stunning ocean views. The food was actually very good this time, even better than some past visits. It would be nice they could make some improvements, though, even if it involves raising the rates a bit. But overall, still a great trip to a bit of a gem in the rough.

The flavors and textures of the classic meals served here are almost perfect. Their menu doesn't change, and it doesn't have to. They do what they do like a finely tuned machine. The chilaquiles are one of the best I've tried. The eggs are always cooked perfectly and always taste farm fresh. You even try quail eggs and venizon from their nearby ranch. Cinco estrellas!

The Tv had no channels available, the sheets were stained with yellow staines on them, the restaurant was awful the food was not well prepped and it was over priced. The meat was severely undercooked. The bar tender was not friendly at all he had an attitude. Just an overall horrible bad experience with the hotel!

The food presentation is beyond expectations. 10/10 recommend this place!!!!! BTW if I had to recommend any drinks, order a "Cadillac" margarita. If you're a light weight or just looking for a good time and something strong but sweet, order one either on the rocks or blended ! It will give you a kick right away

We came here for my annual birthday celebration the week of July 4th. Our usual AirBnB place was…read morebooked, so we opted for this place. It's gated, clean and has both a private golf course and a hotel and restaurant in addition to homes. We really wanted to like this place, but the owners, who are mostly expat's, have their heads so far up their butts that this was by far, the WORST vacation we ever had. I have 4 little kids. Kids make noise. I got a notice to keep it quiet, during the day, like 11 am... Are you kidding me?! My kids had to stay in doors, with the windows closed until we left to go to the beach. Our place had no AC, so just imagine how hot it was... The next morning, some kids were yelling at the pool and others running around the neighborhood making noise. IDK if they got a notice or not, but this place is just BS. To top it off, on July 4th, there was a golf cart parade complete with American flags and glitter and, you guessed it, loud noise. Hey, I love the US and celebrating the 4th is in my blood. But don't put your retired, I'm better than you rules on tourists. The same tourists from your same home country. Come on...

The entire perimeter is fenced in with a security guard at the entrance who keeps tabs on everyone in the complex. A 2 bedroom home can accommodate 4 guests, and they are strict about this. You will not be allowed to have additional guests even for a few hours, therefore it is very safe and private. I love the architecture which ranges from Mexican Baroque to traditional Spanish Colonial and the entire compound has cobblestone streets and cement walking paths. There are several little gardens of roses and other lovely flowers making this a great place to take walks and enjoy the scenery. The large pool/jacuzzi area has plenty of lounge chairs and shaded seating, a shuffleboard court, a gym, and a banquet room. There is also a large surfing beach with several sturdy palapas for all guests and owners to use. A visit to Las Gaviotas is certainly a treat. I love to relax, enjoy a good book followed by a leisurely walk, then swimming and a relaxing dinner when I visit.

I was only here for one night and I enjoyed its proximity to the oceanfront in Ensenada. I hop in…read morean Uber, and I am downtown in no time at all. The hotel faces the marina full of boats. This place is very popular, people are always coming and going. My room was actually quite large with a nice balcony facing the ocean. I had the fortune of occupying a newly renovated room. My only complaint is the amount of noise that makes its way into the room from the exterior hallway. As soon as you enter on my left by the doorway was the bedroom which had a wall and windows facing the hallway. I guess, I was fortunate because most of my neighbors were quiet and respectful. The hotel can easily solve this problem by utilizing more sound absorbing materials. The hotel's restaurant has an outstanding breakfast buffet which was the most memorable experience of my stay. It's worth staying here just for the delicious breakfast. Would I stay here again? Most definitely, the hotel's proximity and food made all of the difference. There are also trails along the ocean front which I made use of after breakfast.

The first trip was more of a couples getaway, and this time we came back with the family and it somehow managed to be even better. The resort is absolutely beautiful, spotless, and perfectly maintained. Everywhere you turn, there's something to do; from relaxing by the pool, to the spa, to simply soaking in the gorgeous ocean views. What really makes this place special, though, is the hospitality. Isidro and his team truly go above and beyond for every guest. You can tell they take great pride in what they do...every detail feels personal and thoughtful. Vista Hermosa isn't just a resort; it's a hidden jewel and truly feels like a home away from home whenever we visit Mexico. This place has officially become a family tradition for us, and we're already looking forward to our next stay. If you're thinking about visiting Rosarito, don't hesitate, book it. You won't regret it.

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.
