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!

HOTEL: A+++. It exceeded our expectations. The grounds are…read moregorgeous and the staff is responsive and friendly. We used a WhatsApp number when we needed assistance and the hotel staff responds immediately. It was a pleasure to deal with all staff! The views are outstanding! The pool is immaculate and the water's temperature was perfect. SPA: A+++ Nicely decorated and good massage therapists. RESTAURANT: A+++ Salvia Blanca has excellent food, service & atmosphere. OUR CABIN: A+++ Very clean & comfortable. We enjoyed the nice firepit just outside our cabin. I have four suggestions: 1. Provide better quality towels in the bathroom. Our towels needed replacement as they were non-absorbent; 2. The beds have a thin comforter, but at night it gets cold and a heavy comforter would be better; 3. Provide kitchen towels (paper and cloth); and 4. Put plastic bags in the kitchen's trash container.

The hotel recommended a private driver for the weekend, and he was wonderful! The grounds are absolutely beautiful and there's a lot to do for families or a romantic weekend away. The restaurant is also great. All sustainable. They also accommodated our late check out and early check in request. Overall, wonderful experience and I hope to be back soon!

I booked three night total under two different bookings but the staff was able to easily accommodate both bookings. My first room was a standard room that was comfortable and had a porch with a beautiful view of the valley. The second room I moved to was bigger and super spacious. I loved both, but the bigger room also had a bigger bathroom which was great for getting ready for a wedding. I ate at their restaurant a couple times and the food was good! I had the green chilaquiles and coffee. The serving staff was super friendly and attentive. My favorite thing about my stay was that there are about five dogs that live on the property. Most of them are golden retrievers who just roam and want love! They were a cute surprise. I'd definitely stay here again next time I'm in Valle!

Penny pinching hotel. Do not wash your face with the WASH…read morecloth if you have any makeup on. Room was smaller than i thought but no problem. Note that there is no ice machine in the facility. We paid like 3 usd for a bag of ice. Up until check out; we were ready to come back. On the second morning of our trip the cleaning lady asked me if I needed room service. I said no thank you but did ask for more towels. She asked me for the dirty ones in order to give me more. She literally gave me the amount and sizes of towels I gave her. I get it, no problem but I did note it. I gave her one facial wash cloth and two bath towels. So at check out the day later, the man at reception tells us that there's a note on our paperwork to charge us for one facial towel and a bath towel. I enquired why we would be charged and he said maybe because they're stained. I said yes, I know the facial towel was stained because since it's a facial wash cloth I used it to wash my face! So he concured that the stains were the makeup on the facial wash cloth. At this point I'm pissed because it is not in the rules that you'll be charged if you stain towels with makeup. Also what hotel charges for make up stains? It's a wash cloth. People use wash cloths to wash themselves. I'm not even sure if the large towel had any stains but the facial wash cloth did have a bit that is washable. So he charged us 15 usd for both towels which we wouldn't even get to take home. Spend your cash elsewhere. There are nicer hotels in Valle de Guadalupe that will not charge you for using amenities included in the room.

It's not a luxury hotel but definitely has a boutique feel. No TVs or phones in the room. I LOVE the concrete floors & open shower. A total of 6 bungalows so you're guaranteed a peaceful, serene weekend with non of that crowd noise that pollutes the city. It is a bit tricky to drive into the property so it's best you arrive while the sun is still out. Make sure to bring your favorite wine & hangout right outside the room or on their patio where they have tables & chairs overlooking el valle. Your Homegirl, Violy Ps - bring a little cooler for cold drinks & snacks because it's a ways away from the mini mart which is already limited on snacks itself.

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.

Overall our stay here was pleasant and by addressing the small details this property could easily be a 5 star rating.

I was lucky to be referred to this vineyard by a relative who lives half a mile from this location. Not only was the place amazing in scenery and location but the owners and staff were beyond awesome! My wife and I were looking for a location to have our wedding and reception at and Rancho El Parral was hands down the best places to host our amazing event! They included a full breakfast with renting the rooms and even allowed external guests to join us. They also allowed us to have a post wedding small party with no added costs. The owners Albert and Olivia were so great to work with regarding our special day, that they made it a point to make sure we were all well taken care of throughout the whole weekend and even after we left. Their main focus was to make sure that everything was taken care of. They went above and beyond for us given that they had just finished harvesting their grapes and were working on making their line of amazing wine. Working with Olivia was such an easy process and her contract options were so easy to work with and competitive. She was also so helpful in making adjustments to our guest list 4 days before the actual event and discounted the total owed!! As my wife and I were on our honeymoon, we talked about having our birthday party there again because of our experience with the owners, staff and location. We were also approached by quite a bit of our guests to get the contact information of the place so that they can have events there too. There is so much to offer from visiting this location, so much to offer like a lavender field that is the only one in the region and the products of that lavender field. I recommend this location to anyone curious to get an awesome scenery of the valley, for such a comfortable stay in their rooms, and for a great tasting wine that is sure to win awards in the coming years. Their wine, artisan products and amazing scenery are just small details that made our most memorable days even more amazing. We will definitely be returning, often. They also have a restaurant that is in the works and we look forward to seeing it grow. All the guests that were witness to the event said it was by far an amazing place to have any event. Albert and Olivia (the owners) really made us feel like we were their family and although they weren't able to celebrate our reception because they were more concerned about making the event run smooth and were more help for our coordinator but we would have loved for them to be a part of it and I will be sure to have more events with them. They even gave us an amazing coordinator that worked with us and Olivia to make the dream a reality. Thank you so much Albert and Olivia! We will always hold you dear to our marriage!

I have mixed feelings about this place. The experience itself was beautiful--being surrounded by…read morecitrus blossoms, taking in both the sunset and sunrise--it really felt special. The room was also very nice overall. However, there were some serious downsides. The shower floor was broken, and I actually slipped and fell because of it, which is a safety issue that shouldn't be overlooked. Another big problem was the lack of food options. We arrived at 5pm and there were no restaurants open. The staff were in a hurry to leave. Unfortunately, leaving wasn't really an option because the road conditions were extremely bad. Our car barely made it through the muddy terrain. Communication was also lacking. They only sent a WhatsApp message about road directions, and it wasn't very helpful. We ended up relying on another couple who had attempted the drive and turned back--we followed them, and even then, the road was very difficult to navigate. Service was minimal as well. The only staff member available was the watchman, and even simple requests (like a wine opener) took a long time. If you decide to stay here, come prepared: bring your own food and make sure you have a 4x4 vehicle. The setting is beautiful, but the logistics and safety concerns make it hard to fully enjoy the experience.

The hotel itself and accommodations were awesome! We were so excited to get here and enjoy our stay…read morehowever upon arrival there were several deep puddles and an unpaved path which was not mentioned to us before our stay. We had to PAY to get towed. The hotel did nothing to warn us about this and when we complained they said that other cars were able to get in through the mud so we should've been able to do the same. (there is only one entrance and one exit) I hardly write negative reviews but they did nothing to correct/help WHATSOEVER. I would love to come back but maybe think twice if it's rainy season or if you have a low car ! if you need any help after 5pm good luck there is only one security and he is in charge of front desk duties and check-in! (possible understaffing?) Unsure maybe it was just this once who knows
