Such a beautiful resort! A perfect getaway! Loved the swimming pool and the gorgeous private beach! It's nice to simply walk around the grounds and take everything in. There are so many activities available that you can't just accomplish all of them in a day! I would definitely return if I had the chance. read more

AMAZING!!!! If you want a relaxing get away this is the place to go! I honestly had such a great relaxing time here! The resort has its own private beach and is totally safe. It's nice to see that there is security at all times walking around to make sure everyone is safe and there are also cameras which made us feel at ease. The people working here are super friendly and professional. The rooms are clean and beds are comfortable with big TVs and if you're lucky you can even get a beautiful room with a view of the ocean. The hotel has a nice pool area with jacuzzis and you can drink while relaxing in jacuzzi. The plus side as well is that check out is at 12 so you're not rushing to storm out which is also nice. I actually liked that the hotel is a little further out from the downtown area because it gave us complete relaxation and I'm glad we had the opportunity to stay here because it was such a great experience. The hotel is close by to a huge shopping center that has a Walmart and Starbucks and a bank. read more

I have been coming to Estero Beach since the mid 70's and have always loved it, the staff ,the grounds and the resturant. The food is very good now but the waiter staff is really untrained. I have really never experienced such a comedy of errors as I did tonight. when we spoke to the man that said he was the manager his answer was, yes we know they are bad! Really? that was not what I wanted to hear. so...... food good, staff sucks with the exception of one , Moses, I give him a 10 because he really tried to take care of us but the waiter, Ceasar was clueless. my suggestion would be have them reverse jobs! read more

Our family has been going to do volunteer work to Ensenada for the past 20 years. We found Estero beach 19 years ago. It's our home away from home. We have been in pretty much all the rooms they have. Seen all the changes throughout the years. The people who work there are great, the grounds lovely, the pool and jacuzzis nice and warm,can't forget the view of the ocean and the lack of busy noise of a downtown hotel(yuck). The restaurant's food is very good for Sunday brunch (the only food I'm able to enjoy due to work). The music is also good. We love it! read more

Anaiz was amazing. I accidentally hooked the wrong day and she was able to calm me down and help salvage the weekend. A very classy establishment read more

This resort is really nice! Its not your typical huge resort, but it's just the right size. When the skies are clear, the water and blue skies look like paradise. Pros: Clean, perfect location by the Estero, warm pool, not crowded. Cons: Sunday buffet was nice with mariachi with view of the ocean, but food stands very unorganized and missing lots of items, not maintained properly. Other than this my family loved the three day stay. $180 per weekend night for the Deluxe Maya room with very nice view of the ocean (very spacious). Total for three nights $540, plus $100 in hotel taxes. read more

In general this place is cool I love the guy that accommodates us names Luis . Today we found out that you can put your music on the pool speaker with a tablet, while this may sound great take in mind that you have to listen to some crazy ass music in another language that sounds like you have a bunch of 7 year olds drums a trombone and fukin microphones. I've never gone to my room and closed the door put my music loud hoping to tune out that nasty shit called music. Hey maybe they feel the same way about our music but guess what if you're in Mexico expect to listen to Mexican music unless you own the resort or own your own island. read more

The hotel is ok, a little bit old but it's ok, my concern was the pets regulations, it's really annoying to hear dogs bark all night, we want to rest and sleep but is impossible and most dogs were without a leash, but the buffet on Sunday is really really good, the food, the music and the serves are amazing. read more

This place deserves one star only because of the friendly staff. To start with we found hairs in the bed once we pulled the sheets. The bathroom door didn't lock. The room and bathroom are dirty and dusty. We saw a huge cockroach running along the pool deck. We had breakfast in the facility restaurant and the mugs had lipstick stains along with the plates having leftover dirt as well. The cloth napkins were dirty with yellow stains. To complete our horrible experience on our last night stay we went to have dinner at the same restaurant and there wasn't water to flush the toilet or wash hands, they put a bucket of water so people could wash their hands inside the bucket. Our stay was so uncomfortable that we decided to leave the hotel earlier. It's a shame because they have a good location. If cleanness is an important fact on your stay please do not stay at this place. read more

I was thinking I was getting something decent considering price. Bed was very uncomfortable, I think they keep using same sheets and pillows since 90s. I had to sleep fully clothed. It was really noisy from maide service next door to people having sex, we could hear everything. Property itself is nice and has lots of potential with appropriate updates. read more

We liked it. A very nice place to stay and is a huge property. Recommend.

Rooms are clean and nice. Great view! Staff is not very friendly. I ask for a towel at the pool and rather than get me one they sent me to housekeeping to get it myself read more

I have been to the restaurant several times and haven't stayed at the hotel so this review is for the restaurant only based on my last experience. Dining for dinner, one person in our party ordered a shrimp dish but got back a bacon wrapped shrimp dish. The menu doesnt indicate the bacon ingredient and the person doesnt eat it. She returned the dish which they quickly swapped out but when we got the check they charged us for the extra dish. When we confronted them they argued with us for 15 minutes why we should still pay for the dish that came incorrectly. There were 12 of us and all of us ordered a good meal with drinks. Why the manager, Job and the waiter couldn't make a customer service decision to easily waive the cost of the wrongly made dish, I have no clue. We had to get scrappy with them when being nice and rational didn't work. They finally relented after debate class was over. Good thing we had some Spanish-speaking natives with us to argue in english and spanish! read more

Last minute getaway. Found this place on Expedia. Best decision ever!!Very nice and private location. Staff are great and friendly. The restaurant has great food and drinks. I would definetly be back with my whole family. read more

Once again had a Amazing vacation here at Estero. I travel a lot and yet to find a beautiful place like this . I can truly find peace here , as if all my worries are gone. We booked 3 rooms and all were perfect.Our room was gorgeous, the beds were very comfortable and the bathroom was huge . The construction in the parking lot is complete. They did a beautiful job , with lots of space for cars , and easy access to hotel for those that complained about construction being a big deal. If your being stingy and feel 7 for a drink is too much then bring your own booze . We stopped by a Walmart that was near by and stocked up for the weekend. They allow you to bring and have your own brings around the pool area , as long as it's I'm a can or a cup.. the hotel goes above and beyond by even providing you with a cooler. It's obviously not for everyone, one of the couple's we came here with did not find one thing good about this place , so make your own opinion about this place . The price is great , I paid 170 for a two bedroom which is standard anywhere else. I don't understand what people expect from Mexico? They want cheap drinks,cheap rooms but high quality and great food... read more

2 stars - Cleanliness ... Kind of No Bueno. You know when you view a flipped home & the co. That renovated it is the one that has over saturated the market with their cheap and quick remedies & its actually shotty work when you pay attention to the details ? Yah. Same goes for Esteros cleanliness. - When I laid on the bed to let everything seep in - I looked over and there was hair on the bed next to me. Gross. On the pillow there was a disgusting bright pink lipstick stain. Gags. - we ordered breakfast the next day and it arrived promptly. The cloth napkin that was provided had someone's mouth particles on it. :-| The thing that really deserves ZERO stars is whomever is managing the restaurant. I ordered filet minon - out. So than I was recommended a flank steak instead - it came out and was GRAY. I asked for medium well done and it was so freezer burned that I couldn't even cut it with my knife because it was SO CHEWY. I tried to take a bite but couldn't get the meat to cut. I sent it back. And ordered a seared tuna instead = huge mistake. Tuna was fishy - as in it was bad fish. The people next to us even commented that if it was that difficult to cut than its really not a good idea to eat. Sigh. So than the waiter tells me the manager looked at the steak I sent back and said it was ok and I would have to pay for it anyway. WHAT. ??! Whatever - I paid for both meals didn't care but was disgusted that I would have to pay for such travesty of the "meat plate". After paying for it I told the waiter to gift it to the manager because I wasn't interested in taking it home. Wtf. My hubs quail came out great btw. Our waiter was great. Bartender Vic is awesome also - makes the best mojito's. Oh I have to mention that the table next to us found a price of metal in their meal. Grounds people and security are amazing individuals. We got the Jr Mayan suite which was AWESOME. The sliding glass door was a view of the water - stunning views - huge room. It looked nice like renovated by your mothers designer friend that is not with modern times but her taste is ... Baby boomer era / classic. It was nice. We arrived on Monday so no one was there - I like that. The property is beautiful. The landscape is flawless! Love it. 1. Conclusion - bring your own pillow covers. 2. Don't order meat or fish at their restaurant. 3. If their chef sends out food that would make you sick and is obviously past its expiration date - they will still make you pay for it even though you didn't eat any of it. read more

My family and I visited this resort on a Carnival Cruise excursion. The excursion was $54.99 and included transportation to and from the cruise port with a lunch a buffet. The resort was beautifully located on the beach, which was walking distance. My family and I enjoyed all amenities the resort had to offer which included but was not limited to, pool, beach, beach rentals, and swim up pool bar. I would definitely recommend to family and friends of all ages. read more

First thing to remember is that this is Ensenada Mexico. Yes Mexico! It's not Beverly Hills or the Ritz. So if you are a high maintenance or pain in the ass picky person then go back to the U.S. This hotel is in the far south part of Ensenada and away from the downtown action. If you want a nice place to get away and relax then this is the place. It's a guarded resort on the waters edge and the views are great. You are only with the other people in the resort and no outsiders. We had one of the ocean view rooms and it felt like we were in Hawaii with a view of Diamond Head. It had palm trees with the birds singing and the view of the point at La Bufadora looked like Diamond Head. The grounds were nice, but it does need maintenance and they are working on areas. It is an old property but a lot has been remodeled and it looks like they are expanding. They only have one restaurant and all of our meals were great. The view from the restaurant patio is wonderful. Your morning breakfast with the view and the sound of the ocean and the birds singing. It was great. One review I read complained about a steak she had. Sometimes a big steak in Mexico is not very popular like it is in the U.S. and the quality is not the best. One night, at the restaurant here, I took a chance and had the rib-eye steak and it was fantastic. My wife had the white fish and her meal was great also. The prices on the meals were very reasonable. Service from all of the staff was great, booking the reservation, arrival, maids, and all of the restaurant staff were very nice. English is well spoken here. If you want a place to get away and be away from a lot of the people then this is a great place. You can always drive into town for all of the riffraff. Leave this place to us who want to relax. Great get away! read more

Always a pleasure to stay in estero beach. This is an old resort but in constant renovations. A family resort but very quiet and peaceful. A little hidden gem! You can enjoy jetskis, the beach or the pool. And great hospitality! Will always keep coming back. read more

This is a great family-friendly place to stay. They have cool acuatic activities for rent by the hour like: kayaking, paddle boarding, jet ski, and even a jet pack. The staff is friendly, welcoming, and accomodating. The rooms are clean and the beds are comfortable. There is heater and a/c in each room. However, I'm giving it a four stars because I wish they'd have a microwave and maybe a small fridge in the rooms. That would totally make it a five star! Overall, my family and I had a great time here. We ended up staying five days to see more of beautiful Ensenada. read more

We spent a weekend at the resort with extended family and friend in the Winter. Which is a low peak season for the resort. Our room had a breathtaking ocean view. The price was affordable. The rooms were clean and nicely decorated. I like the fact that this resort is far from the noisy American drunks found downtown. Next time I stay at this resort I'll ask for a room upstairs. The walls and ceiling are so thin you can hear people's conversation and private bed activities. This is why they get 4 stars instead of 5. read more

It's a very nice hotel for Ensenada. It has a decent restaurant. And there is a beautiful pool with two hot tubs!!! Although me and my family went there in the rainy season it might be better for summertime fun! read more

Estero Beach Resort was the perfect place to stay! Friends and I made the quick drive down from Orange County, California for a wedding. We enjoyed the beautiful pool and jacuzzi. The restaurant had exquisite food and phenomenal customer service. All the staff is very friendly and helpful. Also, Estero is super close to downtown Ensenada so we hung out there as well one night. As for the rooms, they were extremely comfortable, spacious, and clean! Our oceanfront views were amazing. The second morning I woke up to a seal swimming in the water between the beach and island right off show. It was awesome. I would come back in a heartbeat :) Thanks Estero! read more

i wish i could give it at least a 4 star but due to wi-fi was available but unable to connect they said it had no password but when trying to use wi-fi it would say no connection. jacuzzi was unavailable. pool was cold and looked like it need to get cleaned. i in another hand the rooms are pretty clean (plus star) friendly staff (plus star) read more

Stayed here for a night should of stayed longer with so many things to do...It's it's own little town...It Had a SECURITY GATE AND THEN YOU HAVE A 4 MIN DRIVE TO GET YOUR KEYES THEN THERE IS ANOTHER SECURITY GATE. ...It's a large hotel with a restaurant and bar real nice place Wil be coming back for more days read more

If you are a younger family with kids don't stay here! Food is expensive and not good the drinks are as expensive as parting in vegas. The beach is not clean for kids to play in. $100 for 5 drinks and nachos!!! And we had a noise complain at 10 pm. They don't have a party atmosphere music is boring. Save your money and stay someplace closer to ensenada unless u are a 60 yr old lol read more

My friend just stayed here with her daughter and sister and the AC was not working properly. Around 6am she opened the sliding door but left the curtains closed in order to let some cool air in. She was awakened around 7am and to find a strange man in the room. He stole both their purses (containing cash, passports, debit/credit cards, ID's, etc). The really bizarre thing was that he KNEW exactly which purses were valuable (there were 4 purses total). This leads us to believe the resort staff might have been involved. She had been staying at this resort for over 20 years but this was definitely the last time! DO NOT STAY HERE! read more

This place was ok although I thought it was a bit too far from all the action in downtown Ensenada, and the decor was like going back to the early 90's. The room was big and the pool was nice, but for that money I expected a lot more. read more

I was a bit disappointed in this place mostly because the water was salty. My husband didn't believe me until he took a shower and experienced the same thing. Then the toilet had a difficult time flushing. There was also a big yellow stain in the bathtub. Somehow there was also tons and tons of Mosquitos. It was only by the hotel, pool and restaurant because once we moved away from that area, it was much better. I want to be relaxed when I'm on vacation and being able to have a bathroom that works well is super important. This was my first time here and I would never go back. You can do much better elsewhere in Ensenada for your money. I told the receptionist but they didn't do anything to make it up to us. read more

Been to this hotel many times and really like it. My complaint is that I called to cancel a booking I made for October 1st they refunded me the money on June 24th. I checked my bank account and they charged my card today plus another charge for the card fee. I called them and they denied charging my card. Just off the phone to Bank of America and had to dispute the charge with them. Very untrustworthy hotel. read more

We stayed over Fourth of July weekend. I was pleasantly surprised with how nice our room was. The room was beautifully updated (except for the bathroom but that is no big deal) and even though the description stated we had a Garden View, we also had a bit of a sea view as well. Check in and parking were easy and there was no construction over the weekend. We went to the restaurant twice for dinner and once for breakfast. All three times the food was fantastic and a great price. The breakfast buffet was delicious and a lot of fun. Wi-fi worked probably about 75% of the time, which was fine. The pool was very relaxing and not crazy crowded. We jet-skiied and the price was great at $35 for half an hour. We practically had the whole bay to ourselves. The ride into Ensenada was easy. The ride out and back to San Diego took about five hours with border traffic but that is to be expected on a holiday weekend. All in all, great experience. We'd love to go back. read more

Stayed here Friday- Sunday. I had booked the room online and payed $180 per night. When I arrived to the check in they charged me for having two kids stay in the room. This was an extra $50. I payed without argument because I wanted to start enjoying our mini vacation. I was excited to jump in the pool and grab some drinks at the bar they have by the pool, when I found out that the bar is only open in the morning. The resort was empty! We decided to go buy beer in town and bring in an ice chest since the bar by the pool was closed, but we couldn't have an ice chest by the pool. They also didn't have enough towels for the guest in the pool. We went to the restaurant because they had a live band and the food was horrible and really expensive! When arriving to our room a hotel worker approached us and asked us to keep it down because we were too loud! It was 10:30pm and we were walking from the restaurant hadn't even arrived to our room. At 1 am we got hungry and decided to order a pizza they wouldn't let the pizza worker in to the hotel even when I called and asked for him to come in and bring the pizza to the door. They were very rude, didn't make us feel comfortable at all! It's Mexico! You want to go have a good time!For the money almost $500 for two nights I will not be staying in this hotel again! read more

Before I give my reason for only a three star rating I need to say that the food was wonderful and the wait staff, bar tender, etc were great. The museum is a must with a very informed woman there to answer questions. But-the pool music was not monitored and was totally inappropriate for a resort. After bringing this to the attention of the management it was somewhat resolved. During the late afternoon and early evening we had several rooms around us with loud, drunk men. No security was around and although we had a phone in our room we could not get the front desk or security to answer. We had to close our room up to even talk and at bedtime it was even worse. When we checked out I spoke with the management and they said it would be taken care of and were very sorry. They offered to refund us for our two night stay. But now they are rescinding and will not refund for the night booked through Expedia. Expedia has contacted the manager I spoke with and he will not authorize the refund. So, just a heads up if you have any issues there. read more

While down with friends on vacation in Ensenada, it occurred to me that one of my companions had never seen the beautiful beach front property of Estero Beach Hotel and Resort. In the area already I decided that I would make a short stop and give a brief tour of the resort to my friends. Little did I know that I wouldn't even make it past the outer most entry gate. I was stopped, as always, by the guard that was standing post at the entryway. The gentleman was middle aged, thin and spoke excellent English, however he told me and my friends that we would have to pay a $10.00 (American) entrance fee to even take a quick tour of the grounds. I was shocked as not even 2 months before I had been allowed entry free of charge and with no hassle. The gentleman then explained that a voucher would be given to take $10.00 dollars off anything we bought inside Estero Beach. I felt like this was a scam, so I left without paying the supposed fee. I have been going to Estero Beach for over 30 years and not once have I been asked to pay a fee. Wanting clarification I called the hotel and was told that this policy has been in effect since March. I will no longer be going to this hotel and was extremely disappointed with this news. Apparently this policy will remain in effect until September, fair warning to anyone interested in even just visiting. read more
