LGBTQ friendly. Staff was amazing. Everything we needed was accommodated. We felt extremely safe. Went down to the car late at night and was happy to see there was security that was very attentive. Buy the breakfast package. You wont feel disappointed. Would have loved to take advantage of the rooftop and exercise area, but they dont open till 10am

Everything was amazing. Safe, clean, and very professional. I just wished the had a mini fridge. My dinner was a Aguachiles and unfortunately had to throw it away. Mini fridge would be amazing in all rooms. I stayed in a regular 1 bed so idk if higher suites had them.

The room was impeccable and the service was above and beyond. Makes me reconsider staying in Tijuana as an option. We usually race past Tijuana on the way to Rosarito or Ensenada. The en-suite hot tub was classy and didn’t feel like just a gimmick.
