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!

We recently discovered there was wine country in Mexico so my boyfriend was planning an anniversary…read moreweekend getaway for us and found this place on airbnb with VERY reasonable prices! so after doing some researching on their website and reading all the reviews on tripadvisor, he started communicating with them to get a reservation. it was a little confusing using airbnb at first because they only have one listing but have multiple rooms available. so the best way to reserve is via email or contact them through facebook. once our room was booked with Arturo with a deposit, he sent us instructions and maps on how to get to the bed & breakfast. if you google it, it will be a little hard to find just by using the address because you have to drive through an unmarked dirt road. so use their map and directions! it helps! and make sure you arrive during day light to familiarize yourself with the roads. upon arrival, we were greeted by 3 very nice gentlemen. steve, michael, juan are all Arturo's friends and all help out at the B&B. first of all, the property is HUGE. there are three levels on this property with numerous buildings, and each building has multiple units. so you can easily come here with a big group because they can accommodate it. michael showed us to our room (#7) which was one of the downstairs unit. as we were settling in, Arturo and Juan came to our room with glasses of wine to welcome us, the wine was really good! the rest of our first night here, we hung out with all the guys, socialized with them and drank more wine. they also prepared dinner, which we did partake in as it was offered to us for an additional fee. the dinner is family style, where everyone staying at the B&B are invited to sit and dine together. so you really get to know the hosts as well as all the guests. there is a pool on the premises, lots of open space where kids can play, cute little tree house, and a beautiful winery. breakfast is all included which is prepared by Arturo and the guys. service was absolutely impeccable! there are also two maids that come everyday to clean the rooms and make your beds. one thing to note though, the property runs on generator and solar power so between 2am and about 7-8AM, there is no power. but each room is supplied with a few candles which you can light for night use. also, phone service here is almost non existent. if you want service, you'll have to hike up to higher grounds but it's still pretty slow. so staying here really makes you talk and socialize more with people instead of staring at your phones. there are also no TV's in the rooms either but they do have one by the pool which came in handy because the world cup was going on while we were there. we were fortunate because they were also celebrating their 4th year anniversary as a B&B so on our last day here, we got to attend their anniversary party with lots of authentic food, drinks, music and fun. the rest of weekend was absolutely fantastic. Arturo and Steve invited us out to Ensenada beach one day, and Michael and Juan invited us to go wine tasting with them on the other day. All of this was just spur of the moment invite, nothing was planned ahead which was really adventurous! we really got to experience the wine country area like the locals. they really treat you like family here, not just guests. i highly recommend staying here and get away from the hustle and bustle of city life, meet new friends, tour around wine country and enjoy what this place has to offer! we really enjoyed our time here so much that we are already planning a trip back to celebrate a friend's birthday!

I agree with Sara C. that the gentlemen Steve and Michael were very hospitable and took the time to…read morewalk us to our room late in the night. We stayed in the back of the estate in a four bedroom 2 bathroom casa. Without clearly marked signs it was difficult to find Casa Encinares in the dark of the night. It was very rustic; tile floors, limited electricity, and vintage like decor. I use the word rustic loosely, as I kind of cringed when I had to use the restroom and sink. The sink had a plug that was missing, leaving an open drain full of nasties. The beds were neatly made but had very firm mattresses. In the morning the guys offered us coffee and fruit in the outdoor patio. The rest of the residence looked very authentic and the service was 5 star. We may have gotten a bad accommodation?

The review is based solely on the service in their "deck"/ wine hosting area. After visiting a few…read morewine establishments and 5 star rated restaurants throughout the valle, this was our first encounter where we felt a wine host was snobby and pretentious. Comments like "I'm sorry I forgot about you guys" "if you don't typically drink wine I recommend this"... to make matters worse the younger lady with reading glasses helping in the kitchen area proceeds to comment on how my kids should spend their time while on their premises. You know, the typical comments about screen time from and individual who knows absolutely nothing about your day to day or how you've spent all that day touring other locations and the kids and parents just need to take a breather. All in all, not impressed with the service, the cheeseboard was subpar, and the pizza was doughy. 2 stars for the homeless cat who was the highlight of our visit.

Besides the good wine, the food at the restaurant is tasty and service is VERY attentive! Drinks are delicious with good ingredients!! We also rent their gorgeous house at the property. Due to this , when we arrive, they always offer us complimentary sangria before we head to the house. The house is a wonderful space with everything we could need. Very modern open concept. We always enjoy our stay and will continue to stay here in the future when we come in our large group of friends and family. This house is set for a group of 12 people. If you have more people, you can also rent the additional villas. We always recommend this home to everyone who is looking for a shone for a larger group!!! Thank you to everyone that always make us feel welcomed here at Xaroma!!! See you again soon!

El Cielo was easily one of the highlights of our trip to Valle de Guadalupe. The property is…read moreabsolutely breathtaking! The wines were fantastic, but what really made the experience stand out was the service. Everyone we interacted with was warm, welcoming, and genuinely excited to share their wines and story with us. Our sommelier was especially wonderful and made the tasting feel personal and relaxed rather than rushed or scripted. One of our favorite parts of the visit was the chocolate and wine pairing that my husband and I did together. Every pairing was thoughtfully put together, and it was so much fun discovering how the flavors changed and complemented each other with every sip and bite. The best surprise of the day? Finding out our sommelier was from the 805! As fellow Central Coast locals, it made the experience feel even more special and gave us an instant connection that we definitely weren't expecting to find in the middle of wine country in Baja.

I came to El Cielo a few years ago, around 2021, with a group of friends and was very happy with my…read moreexperience. We enjoyed the restaurant and the wine-tasting tour, and I always thought about coming back. Last weekend, I was passing through the area. The wine tours were already closed, but the restaurant was still open, so my brother and I decided to grab a quick dinner before heading to the border, wrapping up an amazing week in Rosarito. Unfortunately, the experience was very different this time around. Our waiter seemed more focused on getting us to order pricier items than on providing good service, and both the food and drinks took a long time to come out. The restaurant was not busy at the time, so I'm not sure why everything took so long. We were only a party of two, and our order was pretty basic: two cocktails, an appetizer, and two main courses. When it was time to pay, the bill came with a 20% tip already included. Nowhere did it say beforehand that gratuity would automatically be added. Considering the slow service, 20% seemed excessive. Even 15% would have been a lot for the level of service we received, but it would have felt more reasonable. I was thrown off by the experience but decided not to make a big deal about it at the time. Unfortunately, after having such a positive impression of El Cielo from my first visit, this experience left me disappointed, and it will probably be the last time I eat at the El Cielo restaurant.

Our stay at Casa Frida in Valle de Guadalupe was a mixed experience. The biggest downside is the…read morelocation. It is very remote with very little nearby. You have to drive at least 5 miles just to find other restaurants or attractions, and it's about 14 miles to Ensenada if you want more options. The hotel only has one restaurant, and while it was convenient, the food was overpriced for what it offered. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and helpful throughout our stay, which we appreciated. Unfortunately, the property itself felt a bit neglected. There were several maintenance issues, including a broken toilet paper holder and a broken shampoo/conditioner dispenser that wasn't replaced until the following day. The paint in the room didn't match in several areas, and overall it could use some upkeep. The pillows were very uncomfortable, and the property was extremely dusty, making it difficult to enjoy being outside, so we ended up staying indoors most of the time. We also booked a room advertised with a "valley view," but our view was mostly trees and a ditch, which was disappointing and not what we expected. On the positive side, the room itself was modern, clean, and nicely designed inside. With a few minor repairs and better maintenance, it could be an excellent place to stay. The hotel was also very quiet, which made for a peaceful atmosphere, although the room had great AC. Overall, I would rate Casa Frida 3 out of 5 stars. It has potential thanks to its friendly staf
