We started with coconut shrimp that cooked to perfection and the mango sauce for dipping with a great match for the shrimp. The sea bass was also delicious , the service and views were also amazing. read more

This is a nice break from crowded or trendy spots in the area. It's not fancy but very quaint. Staff are nice! We enjoyed the combo (fish & shrimp) ceviche. Love the loads of avocado on the ceviche. The Pollo Fajitas look and taste good too. Great place to unwind with ceviche and a drink. It is a small restaurant- I don't think they can accommodate larger groups. Don't come here ... I kind of like the vibe - not a lot of people know it's here - it's a hidden gem. So go down to Encanto or Splash. read more

Terrible! Never again will we return or recommend to anyone. Food was averag, nothing special but the waitresses were rude, unfriendly and hateful persons. Very bad experience at this restaurant. We were the only ones dining and I suppose that should have tipped us off. Had planned on returning for breakfast but not now or ever again. read more

Did a general search looking for a coastal hotel with good vibe; for future weekend tour groups. And Boy did I find it! Great facilities, the Polynesian Room was awesome! Fixtures in room and hotel were unique, some aged, but really set the great mood. The people working there were smiling and willing to help - and great English (even though I speak Spanish). And the Pet Friendly policy (with a charge) was great for Baden :) Menus were very complete and the food was delicious. I can't eat spicy and they made me pico de gallo without chiles - so nice :) Access to the empty and beautiful beach is by stairs from the hotel - a LOT of stairs :) But the views from above were a nice compromise from hiking to heck! Highest marks and recommendations - I will be using this hotel in my tours :) Muchas Gracias Socios at Pico! read more

Great food and service. The location can't be beat as it's close to the wine valley and beach front. The themed rooms are fun. I had the captains quarters. Walked out from my ground level balcony next to the hotel lounge which was cool, yet I imagine it could also be loud if trying to day sleep as live music often okays plays there . Rates are about $180/ night peak season and $20/per night for dog fee. Hotel restaurant if very decent and they make good margaritas. read more

The food was okay, had good flavor. Unfortunately by the time we got there they had already ran out of choices. Choices were limited and the wait was long. Pro: is that everything that we order was freshly made but it took over an hour to get served. The view is absolutely gorgeous a must see at least one time. I do have to say that the customer service was good, staff was friendly. Note: they really should work on their set up and decor. read more

If you are looking for a quick, quiet beach getaway this may be the place for you! Its located halfway between Rosarito and Ensenada (near the Devil House). Poco Cielo is aptly named. Its unassuming yet elegant. The beds and pillows are comfortable. The themed rooms have personality and are cozy and relaxing. All of the beach front rooms (which there are plenty) have nice big balconies (with lots of seating) overlooking beautiful ocean views. The beach is quiet and clean, but still has some good activity. We had fun watching the paragliders and ultralights fly by and families and dogs play on the beach. Yes, this place is very dog friendly. They are allowed pretty much anywhere. The hotel also has a restaurant as well as a pub. Both serve good food and drinks. We had a dinner of tacos and shrimp cocktail at the pub and a fresh, delicious breakfast at the restaurant. Its mostly American food with some Mexican options. You don't need to leave the vicinity for anything if you don't want. There is even an Oxxo just down the road. We met some really nice locals when we were at the pub. Seems to be a hangout. They had a great live band. The staff at both the restaurants and the hotel are lovely and accommodating. They also have security. They make you feel very welcome and safe. One thing to know is the hotel sits up on a cliff. You have to go up/down many narrow stairs to get to the beach If you have issues with mobility, there is a sandy ramp to access the beach. Its not as high but still pretty steep and a ways from the hotel. It would be a long walk or a short drive. There are some more accessible public beaches a short drive away though. Also recommend taking cash to avoid having to pay credit card charge fee. This place is nice but its a small business so they dont have quite the resources as larger hotels. Hope you have as much fun as we did! read more

We stopped at Poco Cielo for brunch on the was down to Ensenada. They have 2 sections, the main area and the lounge. We sat out on the patio, the weather was great and the view was amazing. Service was excellent and breakfast was reasonably priced. We enjoyed a pitcher of mango margaritas with brunch - YUM!! Everything was made to order and very fresh. It was a great place to start our mini vacation. They were doing construction on some of the rooms, I was told it's a nice place to stay. There's a private beach at the bottom of the location. A nice place to get away from the crowd. read more

Beautiful views excellent mango margaritas not too crowded unlike other places. Delicious guacamole & chips & salsa. My son loves the whole fried fish (Pescado entero frito) I love everything I've had there in the mornings I've had great omelettes. You can also walk down onto the beach from the stairs at the restaurant. read more

We wanted to try a new place cause we go to Rosarito all the time. Boy did we find a great one! We were treated great from the start. We stayed from Thu-Sun for the 4th of July weekend. I can't say enough how cool the staff is. All cool ass people who were so accommodating. And bay far, they have the BEST restaurant food on the strip. We tried them all. What they have going on as far as the room themes is so cool. We stayed in the Egyptian but now just have to experience the others. We travel a lot and with this place, you cant go wrong. Not enough stars to show how much I appreciated their hospitality. Thank you guys! read more

First of all I want to give the best review to Eduardo and Antonio. They were so kind and amazing. Truly the best service around. They made sure things were taken care of from start to finish. It's right in the beach and so beautiful. Security is there and it's safe. Rooms are clean and all themed which is so cool. Very easy to get around to other local spots. The food at the hotel is good too and the drinks. Will go again!! read more

I'm updating my review for this place after spending a good amount of time here and visiting quite often. The staff is super friendly and accommodating to your requests. Enjoy breakfast, lunch and dinner here. Things that I like and have had more than once are chorizo w potato, salmon scramble, French toast and huevos divorciados. Fruit is seasonal so make sure you ask what's available. I also love their fish ceviche and shrimp tacos. They have a guitarist in the mornings that sings at your table and a guy that plays music from 5-9pm (send him a whisky & give him a tip-optional of course). Lastly, I have to say they are doing a great job during Covid and taking all precautions & sanitation seriously. If visiting, please wear your mask people! Also, remember things are much slower in Baja & you may wait a bit for your check/food. Food is fresh and will be hot. So...relax & enjoy the view! read more

Poco Cielo - Mimosa Saturday's! - Bed & Breakfast Near Me - Baja California, BCN

What a great find on this little strip of the Baja coast! Poco Cielo is a fun little hotel on the side of a cliff overlooking a private sandy beach. There are 16 theme rooms (think Madonna Inn on a smaller scale). The rooms are HUGE, except for the Medieval Room. We stayed in this room which was small, quiet and looked just like a room inside a castle. Stone floors, stone walls, stone bathroom. - it was adorable! We also spent one night in the Polynesian Room which was gigantic with a bar, private deck, three sliding doors that looked out at the ocean, stone shower and a fun Polynesian theme. I'd love to describe all of the rooms, but it's far more fun to look at the pictures on the website. They have rooms for every dream - Roman, Cowboy, even a room that looks like an eagle's nest with a suspended bed! There's a small restaurant and bar with local fare and 99 cent margaritas. As with most places in Baja, they only accept cash for the restaurant, but they will take dollars or pesos. Everyone speaks English for those of you lacking in Spanish (like me), but they are happy to teach you Spanish phrases if you want to learn. I highly recommend this special place for anyone visiting Baja Norte. Make your reservations early though because they fill up fast. read more

I wish I could give this place 5 stars... Here's my logic....since I am reviewing both the hotel and restaurant together, my rating will be 3 stars. First, let me say the view is absolutely incredible from our room and the hotel restaurant. That I would give 5 stars for. That alone is worth the price of admission. Ok so now for the not so great. We were charged an extra $18 per person (if more than 2 people per room) per night. There wasn't even an extra "full" bed for the two extra ppl staying with us. They had a small futon that was big enough for a small teenager. We had to request a portable bed that was basically a low quality foldout cushion for a 6'1" person. On top of that, they didn't provide the proper sheets/blankets/towels to accommodate us all. We went down and asked for all these items and they were great about it and gave us what we needed. Def would have earned an extra star if they had provided these basic necessities from the beginning. The restaurant service was extremely slow. The food, imho, was bland. The fish in my fish taco was undercooked. The breading could have used an extra minute in the fryer. Chips n pico de gallo were awesome. Couldn't stop myself from eating so much of it. Anyway...enjoy the photos. The room is much nicer in person. The toilet room is pretty short though. If you have long legs, you kight have trouble closing the door. read more

This place was brilliant! I'm so glad we booked our hotel room here. The staff was amazing, the restaurant was lovely, food yummy, hotel room was super cool. We stayed in a room with a pot belly stove and an ocean view. I can't say enough about how much fun we had! read more

The best part about this hotel, aside from the amazing ocean views and beach access, are the themed rooms. While I was here I stayed in the Polynesian Suite and the Egyptian Suite, both of which very well deocrated. All of the staff were very friendly and hard working. But the owner creeped me out by first complimenting me for the hoodie I was wearing and then later offering to buy it from me. There are no phones in the rooms, but they will bring you room service if you call the office on your cellphone. The restaurant is great for breakfast. They charge extra to pay by credit card, however, which was a bit disappointing. read more

***HOTEL GUESTS BEWARE*** This "little bit of heaven" is nice but DO NOT let your guard down. You are still in a different country! We stayed in the Mexican Room on 7/17 & 7/18/2021 and the room was robbed of a laptop, a substantial sum of cash, personal belongings, our passports, etc. The balcony and bedroom windows are easily accessible from the rooftop where either burglars from adjacent properties can easily access your room, or hotel & restaurant staff are aware of this and will not hesitate to rob you of all your positions. Coincidentally, the only portions of the property that are not captured by security cameras are the Mexican and Polynesian rooms. Not sure about the other rooms as these 2 rooms are separate and located right above the front desk. Interestingly enough, the front office personnel had to "leave for an emergency" at the exact time our room was being robbed. I hate to speculate so I will leave the conclusion up to you. It probably goes without saying but we absolutely will not be back. This is unfortunate as we were beginning to fall in love with the La Fonda area but there are too many other nice places in Baja and the US to choose from which are much safer. read more

Poco Cielo - Front door.. - Bed & Breakfast Near Me - Baja California, BCN

Been a regular since I moved to the area, been coming here for years. Love the staff and location: it helps you let a lot of little things go that you'd normally expect. But, the last two visits, the bill has been mysteriously high. I don't appreciate a price gouge or the lack of an explanation- especially for a regular who speaks the language well and goes out of his way to be kind and considerate to the staff. Shame on me for coming back and trusting that you made a simple mistake. Never again. Poco Cielo=Poco Ridiculo. PS: it might help to get hamburgers that aren't reeking of bologna. Rule #1 in restaurants- take care of your regulars. This is coming from a chef. Peace. read more

Overpriced for the area, which wouldn't be a problem if it was worth it, but there are some issues. You can tell the owners are really cheap. The first thing I noticed is that it doesn't have a TV. Not a dealbreaker as I don't watch it much anyways, but what hotel room does't have a TV? The furniture looks like something you would find on the side of the curb in Los Angeles. Really dusty and dirty. The toiletries and shampoo are so tiny, like single serving for a tiny person. I stayed in winter and there is no heating. I told maintenance it was cold and the guy offered to sell me 6 small twigs to burn In the fireplace for $8 which would have lasted all of 5 minutes. I respectfully declined. Luckily, I did not see the roaches that previous patrons experienced, probably because it was so freezing cold that they didn't want to come out. I didn't even try the food as it was so ridiculously overpriced and based on the reviews I went to a taco stand down the road. It does have a nice view, however I considered sleeping in my car as at least it has a heater. read more

We had dinner and breakfast here, reasonable price and food is fresh. This place was recommended by our host, so I trust the local. Service is excellent. Always has live music playing.

We have been stopping by here for breakfast and lunch. Today is the first time we came for dinner. The food has been exceptional every time we have stopped by and the restaurant is clean.

So it's a gem if you are looking for a great place to eat. read more

We stop here every time we come down to Baja. The margaritas are amazing, the beer is cold and the food is great. We usually get fish tacos - they do not disappoint.

They even allow dogs out on the patio! read more

Although we ended up really enjoying the room we chose - although there was no A/C in the room (which on an 88 degree day with 79% humidity would be disconcerting to anyone), the staff was able to finally get enough windows open (which had no working crank handles) it took almost 40 minutes for them resolve the window issue. But once handled, we enjoyed the room and the view. The problem was a) we had a horrible experience with the waiter ( who unbeknown to me at the time turned out to be the husband of the owner) who was abusive to his staff and abusive to us. A quick rundown, the whole while we waited to order our food we sat in complete disbelief of the owner's husband's angry demeanor as witnessed him berating his bus-boy in front of everyone and continued behaving in a generally angry ugly mood. He continued being rude and short when taking our order seeing to be inconvenienced to take our order or answer any of our questions about the minuend then . . . when we asked him to please bring our missing butter (for my wife's toast) and missing tortillas for our food this gentleman literally threw the two bottles of tequila he had in his hands on to an adjacent table that luckily had a couple napkins that prevented the bottles from sliding off the edge of the edge of the table and more than likely would have shattered glass all over the restaurant. We were perplexed to say the least. Then, the three times he walked by us (not with our missing items by the way) I tried getting his attention to ask why so much hostility and he would just ignore me, so once the butter and tortillas finally arrived I went to him to ask if our patronage was not welcomed or why he was so hostile and rude, and instead of attempting to change his attitude this guy started yelling at me!? Long story short, not was this guy rude, hostile and near physically abusive when I insisted to speak to the owner (whom I had short but enjoyable banter with upon checking in) she told me that we leave right there and then. She said that I was obviously an unhappy person and that since checking in I wasn't happy like most people are when they "come to Mexico." I explained that honestly the lack of air conditioning and lack of working windows in the room on a hot day can make anyone grumpy but that after the window issue was resolved we were quite happy - but she repeated if it makes you happy you can leave right now - WOW!!!! Had this whole thing with the owner and the husband wouldn't have happened we would be elated to recommend this location, but the poop runs down hill and the abuse and poor attitude by both the owner, the husband leave us in no good faith to recommend this hotel to anyone as you will be at the mercy of two owners with no real care or concern to provide an atmosphere where you can be assured a nice, peaceful stay. Maybe once they sell it it will be owned by people who care enough to be nice, responsive and have handles on the windows that work once you walk in - IMHO. read more

My rates the quality of the hotel. I paid $175 a night for a dusty, roach infested room. The sofa bed was very old and uncomfortable, so, that my small children feared sleeping on it because it would either break or an insect would crawl out of it. They had no beach towels. Was very disappointed considering that their customer service was excellent. Would NOT stay here ever. read more
