The humidity odor was terrible, rooms were fine, pool was ok, they had to switch us to another room because of the AC unit was broken and kept making a noise every 17 seconds (I timed it) and the humidity. My son forgot his earbuds in the first room and when he found out that they were in there (through Find my iPhone) they said that there is nothing that they can do because the room was already taken. The front desk guy (Lennin was his name) had a terrible attitude during our five days stay in the hotel and when I first told him the issues we we’re experiencing he turned and laughed!

Great service & Comfortable stay!!
We've stayed in many Hotels in Ensenada, and this Hotel was one of the best so far. The Hotel did need a little upkeeping in the hall ways and carpets were pretty stained which gave a particular smell. The room was amazing!! Very clean and super comfortable bed. Having a refrigerator would've been nice to keep our drinks cool though. The pool is big and very nice. We didn't get a chance to get into the jacuzzi because it was always packed. Usually the same people were there for hours, hopefully they didn't leave with there insides cooked! They should have a sign limiting the amount of people in the jacuzzi at one time and also a time limit of 30-45 minutes at one time. Overall service and food was great!! We will definitely stay again!

This is a beautiful place, with amazing facilities and friendly staff. Nice location, it takes about 20 minutes (walking) from the hotel to Ensenada's historic downtown area. The restaurant is also amazing, specially the Sunday buffet. The only reason we didn't give it 5 stars under "Property condition & facilities" is that, the hallway has a weird smell, probably because the carpets get wet when people go to their room after being in the pool, and there are no windows. Having said that, we recommend this place and we'll be back for sure.
