Las instalaciones están demasiado descuidadas, había hormigas por todo el cuarto, todo está muy viejo, el precio es elevado para lo que se ofrece, el personal fue amable pero no pudimos descansar debido a las condiciones tan pobres del lugar, nos llevaron un spray para fumigar nosotros mismos, con miedo ya que llevábamos un bebé y también había hormigas en la cama, el agua completamente salada no pudimos bañar a nuestra bebé y optamos por comprar agua para poder lavarnos los dientes

So much potential
Needs Upgrades in rooms and grounds... there is so much potential in this property... it is a shame to not utilitze it . The rooms all need modern upgrading or referblsh back to the original which could be quaint as well but seems they have done neither... the bathroom is in need of complete overhaul starting with plumbing and water system being self contained and cleaned enough to drink to the showers and toilets to being a new hilton or 4 seasons bathroom style.

***!!!*** WARNING ***!!*** This property bathrooms disperse salt water and shut off intermittently ***!!!*** WARNING ***!!*** Stayed here recently with the family and young children. The property is 30 minutes from Ensenada and nestled in an older compound with a LONG entry way. Which is great for security , but a pain to get in an out unless you plan on spending entire time being bored there. The property itself is older , but maintained. The rooms are decent but could use an upgrade. On to the biggest issues , since had we know we'd have NOT BOOKED. The entire resort uses SALT WATER. The seawater in the shabby beach is actually sweeter. At least there your guaranteed continuous water flow. It was a MAJOR INCONVIENCE having to shower 3 children with shampoo in their eyes , with the water shutting off randomly. What normally would take 5 min now puts you as hostage at the showers will. One evening literally took over an hour to shower (COLD salt water) the children. Even after "Rinsing" off the saltiness and soap residue really put a dampen on the entire stay. Not to mention the bugs and rats we saw around the property , but that's secondary to the Salt water. Furthermore the hotel management are FULLY AWARE of the issue and would not cooperate let alone work with us. Thankfully we wont be visiting ever again. If you do get stuck coming here be for warned and buckle up for a nightmare in Ensenada. Good luck!!

The showers don't always work and all the water that comes off of all the faucets and shower is salt water. The property is nice and spacious Is like a big compound. But it's about a 30 minute drive to the city center and tourist areas where the good restaurants and shops are

Hotel Estero Beach no le gusto tanto , es bonito el lugar por fuera , cerca al mar con vista muy bonita , pero la habitación por dentro está muy vieja , el piso estaba sucio , había polvo en las mesitas , en las lámparas . El baño tenía la regadera ya muy desgastada y oxidada. Honestamente me descepciono. Al restaurante por supuesto que regreso tienen una excelente atención y el desayuno estuvo muy rico .

I booked 4 rooms and I didn’t have not even one of them down stairs on view, also, we get to this hotel to relax and to enjoy time, but the hotel maintains staff woke us up early morning around 7:00 Am cutting trees, they were so noisy, our kids started crying since that time. When I talked to reception about that, they didn’t do anything and didn’t care. I don’t recommend this place anymore and I wish Expedia to solve this problem .

I used to frequent Estero Beach Resort when I was a child with my family. I have been dying to go back to experience it with my children, but wasn't sure of the shape it would be in after so many years (approx 20 years!). All I can say is I was BLOWN away. The service was amazing, the grounds are kept up so nicely. The rooms have been redone and are so beautiful. We were upgraded to a pool/ocean view free of charge and I can't thank them enough for giving us the experience we had. We were met in the parking lot with a luggage cart and walked up to our room. I have never seen service like this in any of the hotels I've stayed at any where else, and I frequent hotels often, ranging from the Intercontinental to Westin Resorts. This resort was by far my favorite experience. The restaurant and pool side food are phenomenal. We had great experiences for every meal. The drinks are so delicious. And the prices are incredible compared to what you find in the states. We had 8 drinks and food for under $100!! What! The view is spectacular. It's quiet, there are a lot of families. It's very safe and very easy to get to. My biggest concern was safety since I haven't been across the border in quite some time. They have done an amazing job cleaning things up and welcoming tourists in a safe space. I was there on a Thursday through Saturday, I never experienced any rowdiness or loud people. It was so relaxing. The loudest thing was the waves at night, win!! Don't wait. Go there now!!
