The condo was on the 3rd floor with breathtaking views (especially at sunset..see pics! not filtered!). It was clean and modern. The air hockey table was the highlight for the kids. Service was excellent. We called for a table, chairs, umbrella, and beach towels to spend the day at the beach and the staff had everything laid out for us by the time we came down. They also came to check on us numerous times to ask if we needed anything and made sure to pick up our trash. The staff is also pretty good about not allowing any homeless people to settle in right in front of the building. There are cameras everywhere, security 24hrs, and additional gated parking area. Very secure! This is a great location if you're looking for a more peaceful atmosphere but it's also not far from the main action. We actually walked on the beach from here to the Centro and it was only about two miles. The air conditioning was not the best but we left our balcony door open all night and breeze and the sound of the waves made up for that. We will definitely be staying here next time we are in Rosarito.

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.

Positives: the place is nice and clean…read more negatives: security was crazy rude. I went there with my sister and 9 year old niece. We didn't realize that she couldnt go in the jacuzzi. 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!

He communicated very well sending all necessary info prior to arrival. I was delighted to find we were in walking distance to the famous K-38 surf break and also local places to eat. Native Residence is at the top of a mountain, in a private gated community with lovely homes, so if you plan to walk, it's safe but know it's quite a hike. The views of the mountains, Pacific and Rosarito's Christ of the Sacred Heart statue are beautiful. Fortunately, Ubers are available if you don't have your own vehicle. The chalet is classy, has high quality materials, yet it was very comfortable. The lights were thoughtfully decorated and very tasteful. The scent of the bed linens were absolutely incredible. Our room offered fresh water, a small fridge, an espresso machine, a smart tv with projector, black out blinds and a private fire pit on our balcony. The three chalets have their own shared jacuzzi to use with ocean view and it was heavenly. They offer fresh breakfast à la cart on the upper shared patio or in your room. It has a very quaint community feel there yet you have your own space if you prefer it. Carlos and the ladies working there were very kind and helpful. I'm happy we stayed here and hope to return again in the future!

Honestly, the experience exceeded our expectations in every way. The property is even more beautiful in person than in the photos, with a peaceful atmosphere that made it the perfect anniversary getaway. The host and co-host were incredibly kind, responsive, and accommodating. Knowing we were celebrating our anniversary and hoping for an amazing ocean view, they graciously upgraded us to the Miel Master Suite at no additional charge. It was such a thoughtful gesture, and the ocean views were absolutely breathtaking. The suite itself was immaculate, beautifully designed, and the bed was so comfortable. I honestly can't remember the last time I slept that well! We also loved the shared kitchen, which created such a welcoming atmosphere. Breakfast was a highlight each morning with the chilaquiles and lavender pancakes were absolutely delicious, and having a nespresso machine in the room was the perfect added touch. We truly can't say enough great things about Native Residence. We loved our stay so much that while we were still there, our close friends booked the exact same suite for their anniversary next month! We already know they're going to love it just as much as we did.

Checking in was a little confusing because they have two buildings and the office is across the street. I really liked how you car is very safe the parking lot is gated and there is security 24/7 keeping eye on you vehicles. To get in the parking to get to the hotel building you much have a wrist band that was provided by the front desk when you were checking in. The beach is literally right in front of the hotel so convenient and all the bars are down the street less than 5 minute walk. Walking in I did not know what I was expecting but to my surprise it was like an apartment!! I was so shocked and amazed and with an ocean view!! I was so excited not just to be in Mexico but to have such an amazing room right next to the beach!!! The room came with two bathrooms which was nice kind of like a his and hers bathroom. I really enjoyed my time here and so overwhelmed with excitement of how well everything came together. Not to mention the staff was very helpful and nice!! I would definitely will be coming back to this hotel!

It also had a cute little balcony.. The front desk is actually a little bit off the property across the street but they do have great security services making sure everything is running smooth while at the pool area or parking structure. The parking is gated and has security 24/7. The hotel is walking distance from basically everything. It's in the middle of the attraction area all the bars, restaurants, Beach restaurants you name it. Overall, I do recommend the spot if you ever looking for a spot in Rosarito, Baja California.

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.

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.

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.

A beautiful condominium resort with SWEEPING VIEWS of the ocean and GORGEOUS PICTURESQUE sunsets at…read morenight! I've booked stays at Club Marena through Airbnb and this was my 2nd trip to the same Grand Villas building. Each stay was so pleasant and relatively inexpensive at around $100 per night! Many units are owned by Americans and used as Airbnb investment properties/ vacation homes. It can be a bit confusing to get here especially if you are from the states and are not used to driving in Mexico. Yelp has the address as Carr. Tijuana-Ensenada Km 38. 5 and Waze has it mapped out to "Club Marena Condos" at Carretera Federal 1. Well, Waze is perfectly dependable and you can just map it and navigate your car ride through Waze. There's a security gate in front and you will spend a few minutes to register. Hopefully, your Airbnb host has already forwarded your registration to the security guard. We unfortunately had to fill out the same form twice even though we had already sent it to our host. Security guards are a constant presence along the beach behind the buildings and we felt safe throughout each of our stays. There's a parking garage underneath each condo building and if you're lucky, the Airbnb host will give you access to their garage door opener. Otherwise, you will park in their visitor spot. The condos are usually 2 bedrooms/2 baths with wonderfully high ceiling windows and glass sliding doors to the balcony overlooking the ocean. You can easily see the surfers swimming in the ocean and even spot the large Jesus statue in the distance! Unfortunately, there's a new building being constructed next door. It was still in the works even a year ago when we last visited. So I hear the thunderous banging of the construction nearby during the day even a year later. You can easily access the beach by walking past the community pool. The pool is only reserved for owners and not for the rental guests. However, the beach is a nice perk to an otherwise fine resort! We even stopped by the sales office. Apparently they plan on constructing 3 more buildings! YES, THREE MORE BUILDINGS over the next decade. The interior of the the new building is really gorgeous with tasteful modern designs but prices are around $550k with nearly 20% in additional closing costs and a $300/month HOA. The kicker is that even though the existing buildings allow short term Airbnb rentals, the soon-to-be constructed buildings WILL NOT ALLOW SHORT-TERM RENTALS under a month. This would make purchasing the new condos as an investment property an unwise financial decision, especially with the flood of new units over the next decade! Despite the disappointment as a potential investment property, Club Marena is a great condo resort for vacationing! AWESOME VIEWS! And a very reasonable rental price through Airbnb! Will be visiting again next year!

So don't be fooled by the pictures of the property. That means no gym access, no main pool access, no tennis court access, and very limited parking. The biggest issue we had recently was the amount of chlorine in the guest hot tub. My partner and I both felt ill after leaving the hot tub. Unfortunately I got the worst of it. Headache, dizziness and vomiting. I would never step inside it again. I do not believe these amenities like the pools are regulated or tested daily as they are required to be. Therefore, I do not recommend this place.
