Sofa bed mattress in horrible condition
Diana I.

Besides having the worst experience with the customer service of the front office and the guards at the gate. This is what we were supposed to sleep on. The conditions of the sofa bed mattress was horrible. I would not recommend at all to stay here. I didn't feel welcomed at all. My family and I will never stay here again.

Stained towel

Spent two weeks here via Worldmark Pros + very nice staff and security +on the beach location, beautiful ocean view +on site restaurant w/delicious food +quiet and private location which is great for relaxing and unwinding +fast internet Cons -pull out mattress in living area was extremely dirty and had to be replaced, and the replacement wasn't much better. I'm taking "mysterious brown stains" dirty. The pictures I attached is of the REPLACEMENT mattress. Talk about foul -towels provided not clean, including mysterious brown stains again (super gross) -master bath room also was not cleaned well, including previous guests hair left all over the place -ground landscaping terrible (lots of rocks, makes it hard to walk and carry luggage to room and not a pleasant walk to beach) -No on-site water filter (I believe the worldmark in Cabo has safe drinking water, this location does not) -And the icing on the cake? We found an empty condom box underneath our dresser...that expired in 2017!! Must have been a looooong time since they actually swept and cleaned the room hence all the dust and used condom box Beautiful views but so far my least favorite location. In fact, it's the worst location we've ever been too. Very much the "motel 6" of Worldmark owned units I've been to so far. Worldmark needs to step up their game considering what they are charging people to be owners. I should mention that our party staying in this room came down with some type of TD or stomach bug while here. We initially thought it was from a restaurant but looking at the state of our rooms...chances are we got sick just from sleeping in this dump

Rooms are always clean and the whole resort is well maintained! Love that the workers take pride in their work, they keep the place up to date. Everything is very well taken care.

*Parking space-- Booked a 2 bd room sleeps 6. at time of check in they tell you ONLY one vehicle per room is allowed inside secured gate complex. Everyone else in your party must park outside the premises with No security to watch your vehicle. first of all, I don't have a car that fits 8 people. it was NEVER mentioned to me when I booked this room that only ONE car was allowed. I spoke with the gentleman at the front desk and I asked him to show me on paper where it says one vehicle p/room and he couldn't show me ANYTHING.. his exact words were "I don't have to show you anything , I'm telling you it's just one car". Spent at least 20 mins arguing over the vehicle situation and was never shown anything that says one vehicle p/room I had no choice but to park Second vehicle outside the hotel. *GUEST- you are allowed 2 guest to visit you as we were told at check in time.. HOWEVER, My sister and boyfriend were staying at the Rosarito hotel. They came to visit and we're allowed in , no problem. The second time around 6pm they were told by the guard at the gate they couldn't come in because they weren't staying at this hotel.. so I called the front desk they said no, they could not come in. BUT YET, They had already told us it was fine.. and they were allowed in earlier in the day.. I'm confused!!! Do you allow guest YES or NO?!? *Beds- very uncomfortable, blankets felt and had a moist smell to them *Sofa bed- even worse.. so called mattress was very thin, extremely dirty with stains and mildew.. *bathroom towels had brown stains If these are your rules , that's fine HOWEVER update your website with these rules and also mention it to people if booking over the phone, I was NEVER told about the Vehicle situation. Second update your staff about the your rules so that they're all on the same page. Front desk staff said guest allowed and then later said no guest. the guard said No guest. Had I been told about vehicle situation I would have not booked my stay with you or maybe arranged to rent a bigger car to fit us all. You need to take into consideration that People come from all over the place, take the time off work and get away to unwind and disconnect from reality for a few days and all they want to do is have a great time.. not worry or stress about waking up and thinking has my vehicle been stolen or broken into or deal with rude people (staff) We paid good money to stay at this hotel and my stay was nothing but stress and worries.. I chose this hotel because it was gated and had security. However , the fact that I had to leave one car outside the premises was very stressful for me. It's not safe to leave your car unsupervised anywhere in Rosarito so you pay more for your stay, to have security watch your car. I addressed my concerns to the front desk about leaving my vehicle outside the premises and they didn't care about how I felt.. they were rude and not helpful or welcoming. Will not be staying here again.

This complex is gated and a part of another condo complex. Older buildings, but they have everything you could need. The twin beds in the second bedroom were a disappointment. If you have kids they can sleep in the living room on they sleeper sofa. The room had a nice view and was above a heated pool and spa. The restaurant was great and Israel, the manager was fantastic! We had a lot of fun there singing karaoke. We will be back!

On-site are to walk, sit, take in the view of the beach, city, pier, etc.

Location- great. Decent drive from border and also to other sites in the area. Gated, guarded, and safe. Staff- available 24/7. We ran into car issues and were helped by staff that went above and beyond to help us and make sure we got back to the hotel safely. Proximity to sites- great. Surf sites, downtown a Rosarito and the pier, Puerto Nuevo, wine country/Valle de Guadalupe, Ensenada, etc. Things to do- lots. The beach access on site was great. You can lay out in the sun, swim, surf, walk down to the pier, etc. there are also pools, tennis courts, etc. on site. We did! Food- great food in the area, and I didn't try the restaurant on site but I've tried the same one at the Cabo location and it was great. Stores- grocery store near by, as well as a doctor, pharmacy, gas station, etc. Rooms- clean, comfortable (sleep very well), spacious, and we definitely made use of the kitchen and grill, as well as the patio.

We stayed here 3/7/15-3/9/15. I am interested in investing into a timeshare and my friend has a timeshare so she wanted to help me make up my mind by giving me a first hand experience; therefore, she invited myself and my partner as her guest to this resort. The staff is friendly and accommodating. The property is very well gated and patrolled, this I truly appreciate, as it made me feel very safe. The rooms and entire property are clean and well stocked with dishes and pots; however, my main complaints are: (1) the restrooms are SMALL and have no air circulation so it gets HOT. There are what appear to be air conditioner boxes outside the bathroom that connect into the inside of the bathroom, but the air doesn't cool the bathroom at all and the apparatus is ridiculously LOUD. Very outdated. (2) My biggest complaint is that there is no wifi in the bedrooms. You have to be in the lobby to have access to the wifi. Wifi access when vacationing is a must, specially when in another country because many times phone signals are weak and wifi helps many of us stay in contact with our families. (3) there was only 1 package of coffee for the coffeemaker and we were staying three days. When my friend went to ask for coffee they told her she had to buy extras. This she explained is a new practice since it used to be that they would place coffee, creamer and sugars out for the amount of days you were staying and/or you could get extras for free before. Honestly, the way these timeshares are priced, I figure the least they could do is provide complimentary coffee. Oh well. Overall, we had a nice stay. I truly enjoyed being able to go out to the beach at 6am and feel very safe, but the overall experience wasn't enough to convince me that this is the timeshare I want to invest my hard earned money into.

This place is beautiful. Came for family vacation. Grounds are clean and well kept. I don't care for the cobble stone streets. My mom uses a walker and I was afraid she would fall. The rooms are spacious and beautiful. Worldmark has only a portion of the rooms there. Some are privately owned. Everyone is friendly. Except office staff. Did not get a good vibe from her. My grandson could've lived in the pools. Rarely went to the beach. Just for evening walks. Lots of great places to eat locally. Even the restaurant, Mama Mia's is great. Beds too soft for me. On the negative, rooms near the road so you hear traffic. Some people had dogs that bark late at night or early morning. And the housekeeping crew speak loudly outside my window in the morning.

We traded our Tahoe condo into WIVC La Paloma in March 2020. There are two companies here plus…read moreindividually owned units. We were in a one bedroom with a full kitchen and daily maid service. The beds were comfortable. Not too hard. I love a firm yet not "European" firm mattress. There was a safe and a gas fireplace too. We were quite pleased with everything. We flew into San Diego then took an Uber to the border. Walked across the border, then took a taxi to the condo. We tried to get an uber but there must have been a cellphone reducer in the area. We had great service as we crossed the border but when we were at the corner with all the taxis, we couldn't get service. After haggling, we paid $30. (Uber was $20 but no biggie.) We didn't order a return pickup as suggested on the review sites since we didn't get an Uber. It wasn't necessary as there were cabs EVERYWHERE in Rosarita. And we could call for an Uber which was cheaper. We found out later that Ubers are banned in Rosarita but they are still there if you call. Either way, get a price before you get in. It is only a mile to town so we walked mostly but a taxi was only a couple dollars. They took USD as well as pesos. We didn't need to exchange much but you need small bills. No one can give you change in USD. The office exchanged some for us just so we were more comfortable, but we really didn't use much. If you did the math, you could save a few cents here and there if you use pesos vs USD at restaurants, etc. But if you use your visa, accepted in many places, make sure you tell them to use pesos (do not convert to US) otherwise you will end up paying more. Also use a card that doesn't charge you international exchange fees. There's a grocery store across the street next to the gas station that had pretty much everything we needed to eat at home for breakfasts and lunch plus beer, wine and coffee. The driveway is actually an offramp from the highway and heavily used to get onto the Free Road, so watch how and where you cross the road. Our concierge gave us a name of a taxi driver who took us to the wine route in Valle de Guadalupe. Jorge Diaz cell: 661 138 03312. He was awesome and reasonably priced. We chose the wineries but he normally chooses them if you don't have a preference. (Some wineries will not take you without reservations and some are closed on different days, so do your research and emails or call in advance if you want to choose your wineries.) I love to research, so I picked our breakfast place as well as the wineries and did the timing and directions. I just handed him a map with it marked off. That is important as you can loose GPS out there. The town is full of awesome taco places. Best Meat Taco: Tacos El Yaqui - Calle Mar del Norte, Rosarito, Mexico 50 Pesos for each Taco. Tacos Perrones come standard with beef, pinto beans, salsa), onions, cilantro and guac. But you can customized by asking to add or leave something such as peppers, radishes, etc. Long lines but AMAZING!!! Get a beer at the Mercado on the corner and meet the people you are in line with. We met a nice man the first time we went who gave us a bunch of tips about Rosarito. Best Fish tacos: El Taco Loco - Boulevard B. Juárez 97 Col. Rancho Chula Vista 22710 Rosarito We had the octopus tacos, the fish, and the spicy shrimp tacos. All amazing.!!! The salsas were hot and yummy too! Go to Mercado Del Mar to do a Tequila tasting. We learned so much about the differences between tequila styles. I had no idea. Located on the Free Road at Kilometer 29.5, look for the bicycle mounted on the highway divider. Almost directly across is the Mercado del Mar. Head into the market and then go to your left. Once inside, you'll find another large room with a massive selection of Baja California wines, different liquors, and 350(?) types of tequila. there are over 1,000 different types of liquor in the store. We took an uber there (a few kilometers south from the condo) on our way to Puerto Nuevo (Lobster Village) for cheap YUMMY lobster and delicious margaritas. That was another amazing experience. We chose El Guero from local suggestions. WOW. But first we looked at ocean view options. We ended up going to a place with delicious margaritas on the deck by ourselves... Well, there were gaviotas... We ordered a pitcher as the waiter told us it was the same price as two margaritas but my husband got an extra. It was a bit up, maybe midtown? I tried to find it but with covid... Maybe it is gone? My check in is gone as well or maybe it was the margarita... Cerveceria Tinta Negra was our go to place to try new Mexican beers. I love IPAs and many are doing an awesome job with them. We went to town via the beach (stairways use your card) and via the street. If you go via the beach know that you will have to wade through one stream of water. One day it wasn't bad, another it was pretty intense. Take off your shoes and bring a towel, lol.

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!

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.

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 opened the closet and it smelled bad, the towels were dirty, the bar soap was left used. I just didn't even want to use anything and figured we will just look past it but then later on. We figured out the door didn't even lock! It would lock but then you could jiggle it and it would open! We went to front desk and they sent maintenance to fix it 3 times and they claimed it was fixed and never was. We took all of our stuff and put it in our car while we enjoyed the wedding and then again we went to the room to check and again didn't even need a key to get in. We went to front desk to ask for a refund and they said they thought it was fixed which is what maintenance said and nope it wasn't i told him and again they tried and the security guard said well we have cameras, security guards and no one knows the door doesn't lock. Thats horrible! We paid over $220 to stay 1 night for that! For my family to feel unsafe and me to not sleep well. They refuse to refund our money and we decided not to spend the night and drove back home! Please don't stay here!

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.
