We plan to stay here one day. This property is huge.

Stayed at this hotel recently and experienced multiple maintenance and cleanliness issues across…read moreboth rooms. 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.

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 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.

ESTO ES UNA ESTAFA -- NO SE HOSPEDEN AQUÍ…read more Este hotel anuncia fotos hermosas de una alberca frente al mar, jacuzzi y playa privada, pero no te dicen claramente que tienes que pagar $40 dólares extra para usar esas amenidades -- incluso aunque reserves una villa. La única opción "gratis" es una alberca vieja y descuidada o acceso básico a la playa, lo cual es muy engañoso comparado con lo que muestran en línea. Se siente como un completo robo y una manera de sacarle dinero a la gente. Reservamos este lugar específicamente por las amenidades que anuncian, y hasta después del check-in nos dijeron que había cargos extras para usarlas. Esa información debería ser transparente antes de reservar, no después. Mejor váyanse a Las Rocas Resort & Spa. Tiene una alberca hermosa con vista al mar incluida, sin tantos cargos escondidos. Qué decepción de lugar.

Called in at the last minute and booked a room it was a little pricey but keep in mind it was very…read morelast minute. 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!

I really enjoyed this resort/hotel/apartment. The beds were OK, but what I did love was that the…read moreapartment had two bedrooms with separate bathrooms, a full kitchen with all the supplies needed to cook, a coffee maker, a refrigerator, it was basically an apartment. 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.

We stayed in the penthouse with the jacuzzi at Hotel Festival Plaza in Playas de Rosarito, and…read moreunfortunately the experience was very disappointing. 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.

Our friend has a residence on the Castillos Del Mar property, so they have been coming here for…read moreabout 40 years, and we have been coming for the last 25 years, probably at least a dozen times. It has changed a lot over the years, from a quiet secluded cove beach, to now a beachfront infinity pool, swim up bar and Jacuzzi, Sunio Restaurant and Bar on the beach, and up on the Cliffs by the old hotel, Lulu Café breakfast and lunch spot with stunning ocean view, and Ernesto bar. You can get massages on property; price seems to vary, but currently $50 US for half hour or $70 US for full hour. They also had a very cool pop-up dinner in the cave on the north beach, which was a pretty spectacular experience. Only offered on weekends about three months per year (typically July August and September). Reservations required. The hotel rooms are fairly basic, but most have Ocean View, and you're not likely to spend too much time in the room. Prices very, depending on demand, whether there is a wedding or other event, etc. Sometime overpriced for what you get. One downside is that they are now offering the beach and or pool as an excursion location for cruise ships docking in Ensenada, which brings in a bus load of tourists taking over all the beach and pool lounge chairs, but I guess it is what it is. Had a wonderful stay, and will definitely return!

The hotel is under new management and is undergoing renovation, the 6th floor is currently the only one with air conditioning. There was also only one working elevator. It's located very close to the beach and is still considered to be downtown Rosarito. They offer free breakfast, thankfully the servers were careful and made sure we didn't have any pork as we do not eat it per our religion so they made us breakfast separately. The room itself was very cute and you can tell they are really trying to please you and be attentive with housekeeping. Bed wasn't too bad, wish there was a fridge and more towels but house keeping did refresh several times even though they forget to leave hand towels. Overall it was a pleasant stay, can't wait till they finish renovating and put in the wellness center.
