    Sofa bed mattress in horrible condition
    Diana I.

    Besides having the worst experience with the customer service of the front office and the guards at the gate. This is what we were supposed to sleep on. The conditions of the sofa bed mattress was horrible. I would not recommend at all to stay here. I didn't feel welcomed at all. My family and I will never stay here again.

    Stained towel

    Spent two weeks here via Worldmark Pros + very nice staff and security +on the beach location, beautiful ocean view +on site restaurant w/delicious food +quiet and private location which is great for relaxing and unwinding +fast internet Cons -pull out mattress in living area was extremely dirty and had to be replaced, and the replacement wasn't much better. I'm taking "mysterious brown stains" dirty. The pictures I attached is of the REPLACEMENT mattress. Talk about foul -towels provided not clean, including mysterious brown stains again (super gross) -master bath room also was not cleaned well, including previous guests hair left all over the place -ground landscaping terrible (lots of rocks, makes it hard to walk and carry luggage to room and not a pleasant walk to beach) -No on-site water filter (I believe the worldmark in Cabo has safe drinking water, this location does not) -And the icing on the cake? We found an empty condom box underneath our dresser...that expired in 2017!! Must have been a looooong time since they actually swept and cleaned the room hence all the dust and used condom box Beautiful views but so far my least favorite location. In fact, it's the worst location we've ever been too. Very much the "motel 6" of Worldmark owned units I've been to so far. Worldmark needs to step up their game considering what they are charging people to be owners. I should mention that our party staying in this room came down with some type of TD or stomach bug while here. We initially thought it was from a restaurant but looking at the state of our rooms...chances are we got sick just from sleeping in this dump

    Rooms are always clean and the whole resort is well maintained! Love that the workers take pride in their work, they keep the place up to date. Everything is very well taken care.

    *Parking space-- Booked a 2 bd room sleeps 6. at time of check in they tell you ONLY one vehicle per room is allowed inside secured gate complex. Everyone else in your party must park outside the premises with No security to watch your vehicle. first of all, I don't have a car that fits 8 people. it was NEVER mentioned to me when I booked this room that only ONE car was allowed. I spoke with the gentleman at the front desk and I asked him to show me on paper where it says one vehicle p/room and he couldn't show me ANYTHING.. his exact words were "I don't have to show you anything , I'm telling you it's just one car". Spent at least 20 mins arguing over the vehicle situation and was never shown anything that says one vehicle p/room I had no choice but to park Second vehicle outside the hotel. *GUEST- you are allowed 2 guest to visit you as we were told at check in time.. HOWEVER, My sister and boyfriend were staying at the Rosarito hotel. They came to visit and we're allowed in , no problem. The second time around 6pm they were told by the guard at the gate they couldn't come in because they weren't staying at this hotel.. so I called the front desk they said no, they could not come in. BUT YET, They had already told us it was fine.. and they were allowed in earlier in the day.. I'm confused!!! Do you allow guest YES or NO?!? *Beds- very uncomfortable, blankets felt and had a moist smell to them *Sofa bed- even worse.. so called mattress was very thin, extremely dirty with stains and mildew.. *bathroom towels had brown stains If these are your rules , that's fine HOWEVER update your website with these rules and also mention it to people if booking over the phone, I was NEVER told about the Vehicle situation. Second update your staff about the your rules so that they're all on the same page. Front desk staff said guest allowed and then later said no guest. the guard said No guest. Had I been told about vehicle situation I would have not booked my stay with you or maybe arranged to rent a bigger car to fit us all. You need to take into consideration that People come from all over the place, take the time off work and get away to unwind and disconnect from reality for a few days and all they want to do is have a great time.. not worry or stress about waking up and thinking has my vehicle been stolen or broken into or deal with rude people (staff) We paid good money to stay at this hotel and my stay was nothing but stress and worries.. I chose this hotel because it was gated and had security. However , the fact that I had to leave one car outside the premises was very stressful for me. It's not safe to leave your car unsupervised anywhere in Rosarito so you pay more for your stay, to have security watch your car. I addressed my concerns to the front desk about leaving my vehicle outside the premises and they didn't care about how I felt.. they were rude and not helpful or welcoming. Will not be staying here again.

    This complex is gated and a part of another condo complex. Older buildings, but they have everything you could need. The twin beds in the second bedroom were a disappointment. If you have kids they can sleep in the living room on they sleeper sofa. The room had a nice view and was above a heated pool and spa. The restaurant was great and Israel, the manager was fantastic! We had a lot of fun there singing karaoke. We will be back!

    On-site are to walk, sit, take in the view of the beach, city, pier, etc.

    Location- great. Decent drive from border and also to other sites in the area. Gated, guarded, and safe. Staff- available 24/7. We ran into car issues and were helped by staff that went above and beyond to help us and make sure we got back to the hotel safely. Proximity to sites- great. Surf sites, downtown a Rosarito and the pier, Puerto Nuevo, wine country/Valle de Guadalupe, Ensenada, etc. Things to do- lots. The beach access on site was great. You can lay out in the sun, swim, surf, walk down to the pier, etc. there are also pools, tennis courts, etc. on site. We did! Food- great food in the area, and I didn't try the restaurant on site but I've tried the same one at the Cabo location and it was great. Stores- grocery store near by, as well as a doctor, pharmacy, gas station, etc. Rooms- clean, comfortable (sleep very well), spacious, and we definitely made use of the kitchen and grill, as well as the patio.

    The outdated vent over the shower area.

    We stayed here 3/7/15-3/9/15. I am interested in investing into a timeshare and my friend has a timeshare so she wanted to help me make up my mind by giving me a first hand experience; therefore, she invited myself and my partner as her guest to this resort. The staff is friendly and accommodating. The property is very well gated and patrolled, this I truly appreciate, as it made me feel very safe. The rooms and entire property are clean and well stocked with dishes and pots; however, my main complaints are: (1) the restrooms are SMALL and have no air circulation so it gets HOT. There are what appear to be air conditioner boxes outside the bathroom that connect into the inside of the bathroom, but the air doesn't cool the bathroom at all and the apparatus is ridiculously LOUD. Very outdated. (2) My biggest complaint is that there is no wifi in the bedrooms. You have to be in the lobby to have access to the wifi. Wifi access when vacationing is a must, specially when in another country because many times phone signals are weak and wifi helps many of us stay in contact with our families. (3) there was only 1 package of coffee for the coffeemaker and we were staying three days. When my friend went to ask for coffee they told her she had to buy extras. This she explained is a new practice since it used to be that they would place coffee, creamer and sugars out for the amount of days you were staying and/or you could get extras for free before. Honestly, the way these timeshares are priced, I figure the least they could do is provide complimentary coffee. Oh well. Overall, we had a nice stay. I truly enjoyed being able to go out to the beach at 6am and feel very safe, but the overall experience wasn't enough to convince me that this is the timeshare I want to invest my hard earned money into.

    This place is beautiful. Came for family vacation. Grounds are clean and well kept. I don't care for the cobble stone streets. My mom uses a walker and I was afraid she would fall. The rooms are spacious and beautiful. Worldmark has only a portion of the rooms there. Some are privately owned. Everyone is friendly. Except office staff. Did not get a good vibe from her. My grandson could've lived in the pools. Rarely went to the beach. Just for evening walks. Lots of great places to eat locally. Even the restaurant, Mama Mia's is great. Beds too soft for me. On the negative, rooms near the road so you hear traffic. Some people had dogs that bark late at night or early morning. And the housekeeping crew speak loudly outside my window in the morning.

In the first room, the air conditioning was not working properly and the room was uncomfortably warm. The dresser drawers would not stay closed. The room door was also in poor condition when opening and closing it, the wood around the frame was visibly splitting and separating, and the door did not appear secure. I requested a room change due to these concerns. The second room also had issues. The mattresses were heavily worn and sunken, making sleep uncomfortable. There was an unpleasant odor in the room, and no extra pillows or blankets were available. The pool area appeared poorly maintained. The smaller pool near the jacuzzi had murky water and visible surface buildup. The larger pool appeared cleaner but was very cold and not in use by many guests. Overall, the property condition felt more like a low-end motel than what would be expected from a hotel with this reputation. I would not recommend staying here.

    It's been a long time since my last review for La Paloma WIVC and here I am again. I come every…read moreyear or two been doing that for 40 years. It's important to note that La Paloma WIVC is primarily a residential location where people live around or maybe have their vacation homes here. There are two timeshare companies that own properties here. One is world, international vacation club and the other is Worldmark. Your experience here could vary, depending on which timeshare company you use or if you're renting from a private owner so not all reviews are necessarily reviewing the same thing unless they give you unit information or who they're renting from. My experience, we are here from WIVC. We have been using world international for years as I said 40 years at least maybe a little longer. We have been lucky enough to have multiple locations in a small area with its own pool and that has been really wonderful. There's also people who live in this section so there's a mixture of people. This year we had five units for multiple family members to come and get together which is what we usually do typically every other year. I'm currently staying in unit number 61 which is a great two bedroom unit that faces the pool from its balcony. It's a first floor so no stairs and as usual our room is the same as it's been since I've been coming here. We're all international employees a cleaning crew. They clean your room every day and they do everything. I try to help out and wash my own dishes usually but if I leave some in the sink, they take care of that. Once a week in the middle, they changed the sheets the rest of the time they come in and make beds replace all your towels clean the room. It's just really nice. Obviously these rooms are old but they do keep them updated. There's a lot of tile involved. It's a very Mexican aesthetic so I love that about it. One of the negatives might be that there is no air-conditioning in these units, but we know this and we bring fans to keep it cool. The rooms come with everything you need just like any time that you use a timeshare got all of your dishes and cooking utensils full kitchen in the two bedroom unit. You have a master bedroom with a bathroom and there is a common bathroom that can be used for everybody and there is a second bedroom with two twin size beds. So clearly designed for mom Dad and two kids, but it also works out for cousins hanging out together like us! The complex itself is incredibly safe. They have Security walking all the time keeping an eye on things they don't miss much so I feel 100% secure here. Our cars are behind a gated Security gate to in order to get in here you have to go through a security guard and be a resident or have a parking pass because you're staying here on vacation. The landscaping is incredible. It has never changed. It's beautiful garden setting and you really are right on the beach. It really hasn't changed over the years. There are four pools. There are tennis courts. I haven't made it back into the clubhouse this week. I know there's pool tables, but I don't know if they still have the sauna and steam room. I'll update if I get in there. That shows how busy we've been on this trip busy laying in the sun on the beach ha ha There is also an on-site café they're closed on Wednesdays but they have breakfast lunch and dinner. We've eaten there for dinner our first night altogether and it was fabulous. The coconut shrimp is recommended! And family members have had breakfast during this week and enjoyed it so definitely recommended. We had a lot of fun there. Overall, no change in my rating. I've been coming here since I was a teenager and I love it and we hope to continue coming as long as I can.

She was there like 3 minutes. Security shows up and says she cant be in there.. we are like no prob wont happen again. He stays there next to us just staring. After a few minutes we are like, is there anything else? yes, you have to wait for the security manager to come and give you a written warning and if it happens again you will be fined. Like what?! he stands there 10 minutes waiting for manager.. it was so uncomfortable all the guests were staring at us it was embarrassing but funny you wouldve thought we smuggled in cocaine..see pictures.. it was so weird.. There is security everywhere i guess that's good but they were writing citiations constantly i guess thats how they make money on the side!

The positives first: the ocean views are absolutely amazing and easily the best part of the stay. Everything else fell far short of expectations. The room had no coffee maker or refrigerator, the bed was extremely uncomfortable, the room was dirty, and the curtains were broken. The elevator was out of service, which made getting to the penthouse difficult. There was no air conditioning, and throughout the night there was a constant loud engine or mechanical noise somewhere in the building that made it very hard to sleep. Another annoyance was the mandatory red wristband that guests are required to wear 24/7. If you lose it, you're charged a fee. It felt more like we were attending a Las Vegas party than staying at a hotel where we should be able to relax. The incredible ocean view is the only reason this isn't a one-star experience. Unless major improvements are made to the cleanliness, maintenance, comfort, and guest experience, I would not stay here again.

    I stayed at Hotel Festival Plaza in Rosarito for my birthday getaway, and while we still managed to…read moremake wonderful memories together, this hotel definitely had its pros and cons. The biggest advantage is the location. It's right in the heart of Rosarito, within walking distance of the strip, restaurants, bars, shopping, and the beach. We rarely had to use our car, which was incredibly convenient. The hotel also offers reserved parking with a security guard, which gave us peace of mind. However, the parking lot is extremely small, and once we found a spot, we were hesitant to leave because we weren't sure we'd find another one. Now for the downsides. If you're looking for a quiet, relaxing vacation, this is probably not the hotel for you. Music was blasting all day and all night long. Even with the sliding door completely closed, the noise was impossible to block out. Since there is no air conditioning--only two very old ceiling fans--the room became hot, humid, and musty whenever we tried to keep the noise out. We stayed in the penthouse with the indoor jacuzzi tub, which was a nice feature, but the room was still extremely humid. The only way to cool it down was by opening both the sliding glass door and the front door to create a cross breeze. Thankfully, the ocean breeze helped a little, but it wasn't enough. In the end, we actually checked out a day early because we simply couldn't take the constant loud music and unbearable heat any longer. Another thing to be aware of is that the standard rooms do not include a refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, or air conditioning. From what we were told, only the casitas offer those amenities, so keep that in mind when booking your stay. Unfortunately, the cleanliness was disappointing. The floors were very dusty, and my husband's socks ended up covered in long blonde and red hairs--even though I have black hair. We laughed about it, and I joked that he must have had quite the night while I was sleeping. Sometimes humor is the only way to deal with situations like that. The curtains were also broken. The curtain rod kept falling down, so we had to get creative and use one of my hair ties and a water bottle just to keep the curtains from blowing all over the room whenever the breeze came through. The bed felt like sleeping on a rock, and the pillows flattened the moment you laid your head on them, making it difficult to get comfortable. To top it off, the elevator was broken during our stay. The one thing this hotel absolutely got right was the view. The ocean view from our room was breathtaking and easily the highlight of our stay. Overall, I would only recommend Hotel Festival Plaza if your top priority is being in the center of all the nightlife and you don't mind loud music, basic accommodations, and several maintenance issues. If you're looking for peace, comfort, and a relaxing getaway, I would recommend staying somewhere else.
