3-Star Hotels in Ensenada

Located in South Ensenada, the lovely Estero Beach Resort has something for everyone. There’s a beautiful hotel and a fantastic restaurant. The Sunday brunch is great and has a large selection that should please most everyone. During the summer there’s live music on the weekends and at the Sunday brunch. We love the band that plays at night. They are great to dance to or just to relax and listen to. The staff at the resort are wonderful and very friendly. They work hard on the upkeep of the grounds and hotel and are very helpful with any requests you may have. It’s also a very safe resort, and they limit access to the grounds to patrons of the hotel, restaurant, and those lucky residents that call this place home. There’s also day passes for those who wish to use the facilities for a small fee. The hotel rooms are large, clean, and very comfortable. Our favorites are ocean facing and have small outdoor patios to enjoy our morning coffees. If you’re active, there's great tennis courts, a new pickleball court, and a volleyball court to enjoy. If you have a boat, jet skis, or other water toys, the on-site boat ramp definitely helps to make your vacation a fun experience. But, if you just want to relax on the beach or poolside, look no further. There’s a swimming beach with no waves and plenty of lounge chairs and umbrellas. The pool area at the hotel is one of the best features. There’s a large beautiful pool with two hot tubs and a poolside café that has drinks and snacks. There’s plenty of lounge chairs, so it’s a fun place to spend a lot of time to just relax and enjoy the sun. One of our favorite things to do is just walk along the malecon and the lovely grounds, and at the end of the day, just take in the stunning sunsets. You can not beat the seaside views of the bay. All in all, we highly recommend the Estero Beach Resort. We are never disappointed and always look forward to our stays.

The Hotel is good, but compared to Hotel next Door this is way below. the room is good, the front office service is very bad, the bathrooms are very small and floor is dirty. The location is amazing, it s in the Centre of the walking street, on Sunday they have events on the road and they block the road ,its good and can have nice time in the nights, with lots of music and god activity, lots of shops restaurant etc. if there is no rooms available in other hotel i will sure stay here.

this is the second time we have stayed at the Villa Marina in recent weeks. the last time the room was terribly run down and the hotel clerk told me each room was only allowed one bottle of water per visit. EVERY HOTEL WE VISIT IN BAJA GIVES FREE WATER. tap water is not drinkable. we own a home in BAJA. we travel regularly to Ensenada and also to Baja Sur (southern Baja). the toilet in the bathroom is located in a tiny little alcove. it is impossible to sit on the toilet correctly. you must sit on the side, not the front. THIS WOULD BE ILLEGAL IN USA. there is a nice little bar in the hotel lobby. we have been there a few times. the female bartender charged us way too much on one bill so on our next visit we asked how much my controy liquor was. she told us 70 pesos then tried to charge us 120 pesos each. after our complaint, she reduced the bill. I just bought a bottle of this liquor at COSTCO it cost 112.72 pesos for a one-liter bottle. WOW. this bartender should be fired. I HOPE THE OWNER OF THE BAR IS PAYING ATTENTION TO THE RECEIPTS AND CASH SHE TURNS IN. BECAUSE IF SHE CAN CHEAT AND LIE TO US SHE DOES THE SAME TO HER EMPLOYER. we were on the 9th floor. regular flights of helicopters were flying overhead and extremely loud.

This hotel was the only available option during our weekend stay, we were there only for a single night but it is truly one of the most mediocre stays we’ve had. Although a lot of things are bad, there are some things that can be saved and maybe with some changes they can go from 2 stars rating to 3 stars, nothing more. Let’s start with price to room quality: We paid ~ $220 for a room with a single window facing a hallway, no natural light included in the price. The room itself was meh, but for the price, you expect better. The worst thing about this hotel is their check in policies; first of all they will NOT give you your room before 3PM. I’m not sure if they are backlogged with cleaning or short in staff but they are adamant to give something earlier even if you offer to pay extra. Everyone is in the same boat so usually everyone is in a queue at 3PM. We came at 3 exactly and there were 5 persons ahead of us, it took the staff 30 min + to process everyone, they have the slowest check in experience I’ve seen in my life with multiple steps, signing papers and them taking your identification to scan those who knows why. They are also like hawks asking for how many people per room and asking ages as well, basically trying to milk down to the last cent. The next awful thing is the parking situation. They tell you that if you are coming in late you will not get a parking spot on premise but you have to park in another lot about a block away through the downtown of Ensenada. No parking for this price?! In 2022?! In this economy?! What kind of joke is this? If I’m a guest I should be at least assured a parking spot, more over if you have multiple rooms, this is beyond stupid, do they have more rooms than parking spots? Who planned that? Is anyone squatting multiple parkings? Anyways, if you come late be prepared to walk the empty streets in the night risking getting mugged. The only reason why I’m not giving this garbage hotel a 1 star rating is because I genuinely felt that the room was clean when we entered so props to the cleaning staff that they are the only ones pulling their weight, but in general, not recommended

Great location room was good tv desk and chair available bed was comfortable the pool area was very spacious and clean good to relax the room had a tv and towels the bathrooms were clean,theres a restaurant on site and parking I would stay here again

I have been to this hotel several times and I always like to be clean, it is very good service, they are very friendly, the parking lot is very safe and they make sure that everyone was going to do the Covid tests.

We only stayed one night, but we had a great time. The receptionist was a friendly, clean hotel. Safe. The view from our third room floor was really nice. We had Breakfast in their restaurant patio area, it was really good, the wait staff was friendly and very helpful. Check-out was easy. Wish we could have stayed longer to go to the vineyard they have in Valle de Guadalupe, close to the main street, very walkable it's a free tour to theirs. We will defiantly come back and stay longer

The only reason I chose to rate 4 stars this hotel is because its rates. I got a two bedroom room for one night at $110 and then, two nights after, I've tried to book another one and got a $220 price. That's not reasonable or logical. Even from a hotel standard. For a $100 rate, this hotel is pretty neat: comfortable, practical, clean and useful. But it's a professional type of hospitality, nothing special, just homogeneous in its services. Otherwise, is too expensive.

I would rate my visit as a 5 but a bit noisy with children at night. Not a bad thing because it good to see children at a hotel that is family oriented. My wife and I brought my granddaughter to visit. The hotel owners have recently remodeled. Very nice now with the electrical outlets, lighting and modern card access. I was pleasantly surprised and plan to return on our next visit to Ensenada. the price was good also and quite affordable for a semi-retired person.

We were in the Valle de Guadalupe recording a Slow Baja podcast with Javier Plascencia at Finca Altozano, and he mentioned that lobster season had just opened. We decided to drive to Puerto Nuevo for dinner that night and wanted to stay someplace a little closer to there. A quick look online and we found a great rate for the Hotel Hacienda Bajamar. I'm not a golfer so had never thought about staying at the Bajamar. The room looked large and clean -and we appreciated the free drink upon arrival! The property is huge and well maintained. The room was nice, not opulent, but very nice. The bathroom was well designed and fully-functional. For the price I was pleasantly surprised and are planning to stay there again in February 2021
