Ensenada Beach House Hotel: Ensenada's Best Kept Resort Secret

This place exceeded my expectations in so many ways. The staff was kind, courteous and always ready to assist whether you needed help with travel plans for the day or just wanted to stop and chat for a moment. The facility was clean and you really felt safe here, as I said, my expectations were exceeded 10 fold by this place. The beach was closeby and the neighborhood where the hotel was located, Estero Beach, was far enough away from the touristy areas of downtown Ensenada that you were really able to get a good feel for what Baja is all about. The rooms were spacious and clean - the showers were HUGE! I would most definitely recommend this resort to my best friends, family - anyone!

Unique Quality: The second floor of the hotel had great views of the coastline and I really appreciated the quaint atmosphere of the area surrounding the hotel. The pool was an extra bonus and they also have a little deli area if you are in the mood for snacking. The restaurant at the hotel, I think was called Mario's and had excellent food. We ate breakfast, lunch and dinner here numerous times throughout our stay and never had a meal that was not excellent. Their chilaquiles are awesome, and the enchiladas rojas were some of the best I have ever had - living in San Diego this is quite a feat.

Hotel Rio: Budget accomodation in Ensenada

Hotel Rio on Av Miramar is near the main drag (Lopez Mateos) in the Tourist Zone. The hotel staff at the reception is friendly and helpful, and speak some English. We paid 250 pesos for a double room with bath and two beds.

Unique Quality: It's easy to flag down the bus on Av Macheros just behind Hotel Rio. The area is a liitle shabby compared to Mateos Lopez, but then you're only paying about half what you would normally pay in a tourist zone.

• Opinion of Price: least expensive
• Address: Located on Av Miramar and a little down the slope from Lopez Mateos

Hotel America: Good value Motel

The room itself was fine - it was only $30 for the night, clean, firm bed, theTV worked. It had a shower and mini kitchen as well.

The reception staff speak English too.

Unique Quality: SHort walk from the main tourist area. The views are not that great, see the 3rd pic if you want to see the view from my room ;-)

But if you want a room with a view then you don't stay in budget motels :)

Empress Deck: Carnival Paradise Single Room

Here's my single room on the ship. I was pleasantly surprised at the size of it. It was a single bed complete with closet space; some small drawers; in room safe; tv; and vanity area (no hairdryer). The bathroom was small, but sufficient. The shower was most impressive with plenty of hot water, and strong water pressure.

Carnival is known for their party type atmosphere. It was a little noisy at night with the partyers coming home in the wee hours.

Unique Quality: A 3 day cruise is a good introduction of what to expect on longer cruises. It wouldn't be my first choice in travel, but some people love the ease of it all.

Turn down service each night with a towel animal, the next day's activities, and a mint!

Playa Saldamando: Camping on the Beach

Unique Quality: A safe place for tent or RV camping on the beach is Playa Saldamando, which is located just 8 miles north of ensenada and has over one mile of coastal property, all fenced and gated to enhance your security.

They also have Boogie-Board rentals, kerosene lantern rentals, and sell firewood for campfires.

Hotel Villa Marina: Tallest Hotel in Ensenada

This hotel looked very nice in the tourist brochures we saw, and it is fairly impressive from the outside, but frankly we thought the interior, including our room, did not live up to the hotel's potential. Furnishings were worn and sparce, and we got the feeling that business there was slow. There is a swimming pool and also a coffee shop off the lobby, where we had breakfast one morning during our stay.

We saw other hotels in Ensenada that appeared better kept, and we will try one of them on our next visit.

Unique Quality: The best thing about Hotel Villa Marina is the fabulous views from the 12th story rooftop bar. It was not a lively place, almost empty when we were there on an Easter week-end.
