The staff there was so friendly. I watched Super Bowl 2026 there and the staff had a special menu and drinks for the game. Shout out to the bartender William at the restaurant for all the wonderful drinks. He was on top of it. I will definitely start staying there when I go visit Ensenada. Also, the pool is hugeee with three huge jacuzzi as well. So much space. Don't forget about their casino. Nice!
