GGuest User: Excellent hotel, clean, decorated with very good taste beautiful the service from the waiters is very slow too slow it seems that everyone enters a computer and takes too long I ordered a few beers and it took 15 minutes to bring it to me and there was no one but us In the dining room the waiter forgot twice that we had asked for beer when we went out to the balcony in our room we did not notice pigeon droppings on the balcony floor and we dirty our room so they should do something with the pigeons also in the access to the beach you can not ask if we could pass in some way and they told us that on the side of the hotel but all the security said that there was no access finally a person let us pass very kind by the way the other day in the morning I went down to ask for a coffee and there was no change with the 200 peso bill that I gave them and it took them 10 minutes to give me a coffee and 10 minutes to get a change of the ticket. rto they could never change and I had to pay with a card the hotel in general is beautiful but the service in our experience was very bad but I do recommend it The hotel itself is very nice but does not have access to the beach

At the border of desert and vineyards in Baja California, MIRA Earth Studios lies quietly like a stone blown by the wind, nestled in the folds of the foothills🏜️ ✨First impression: Not a flashy influencer hotel You have to travel winding mountain roads to get here Every turn feels like unwrapping a gift Until finally, it appears bare and raw before your eyes Like a masterpiece of the earth 💫Wabi-sabi aesthetics: Here, "luxury" is redefined Not glittering crystal chandeliers But the warmth of adobe walls under the sun Not industrial perfection But the unique marks of handcrafted work 🛏️Stay experience: · Each suite is a work of art · Open-air cinema under the stars · Green roof design keeps it warm in winter and cool in summer My favorite is how the architect preserved the site’s original boulders Letting the building humbly "go around" them 🍷Three-day itinerary: Day 1️⃣ ☀️Arrive and heal—first, thaw out from the city pace 🌄Join a vineyard sunset tasting and hear stories of grape growing 🌌Light the fire pit in your room and fall asleep watching a starry sky movie Day 2️⃣ 🎨Explore the town of San Antonio Shop for handmade pottery and silver jewelry (my favorite is the asymmetrical bowl) 🌶️Lunch on authentic spicy chili lamb stew 🛀Spend the afternoon soaking in the hot tub watching the vineyards sway Day 3️⃣ 🧘♀️Do yoga on the adobe floor 🍷Visit the Guadalupe Valley wine region 🥩Enjoy grilled steak at Finca Altozano’s open-air restaurant 📖Finish a book on the terrace

Los Portales de García looks almost like a fairytale castle by the Pacific, with dramatic architecture, ocean views and seasonal decorations that completely transform the atmosphere. During autumn, the courtyards fill with marigolds, pumpkins, papel picado and giant monarch butterflies, creating a vibrant Día de Muertos-inspired setting that is incredibly photogenic. It’s also a great stop for food, drinks and sunset views, so it works perfectly as part of a road trip through Baja California. If you’re exploring Rosarito, Ensenada or the surrounding coast, this is definitely one of those unusual places worth saving. Would you visit it in autumn? 🍂✨ #Mexico #MexicoTravel #BajaCalifornia #Rosarito #VisitMexico #DiaDeMuertos #AutumnInMexico #HiddenGem #UnderratedPlaces #MexicanCulture #PacificCoast #TravelMexico #RoadTripMexico #TravelInspiration #easytravel

If you love the ocean and sunshine but are tired of the same old vacation routine, a coastal trip to Ensenada absolutely deserves a spot on your bucket list! Along this route, you can soak up the laid-back vibes on the Navigator of the Seas cruise ship, deeply explore Catalina Island and Avalon, and hop ashore at Ensenada to fully experience the coastal scenery and cultural beauty of this charming town. The blue skies, white clouds, and distant mountain-and-sea views here will instantly calm your mind—no filters needed, every random snap looks straight out of a magazine! Must-Visit Spots in Ensenada: 1. Letras Ensenada - Fernando Consag Address: Zona Centro, 22800 Ensenada, Baja California, Mexico This colorful ENESENADA giant letter art installation sits right in the city center, backed by the serene ocean and distant mountains. I highly recommend visiting early in the morning when the sunlight casts a golden glow over the water and the letters. Whether taking a solo selfie or posing with friends, it makes for perfect memories! 2. Crew Center Address: Bahia, 22880 Ensenada, Baja California, Mexico Hours: Open year-round, 09:00 - 14:15 If you want to get closer to the local lifestyle, Crew Center is a little surprise you shouldn't miss. There are plenty of local handmade crafts and light bite stalls here, perfect for a quick stopover while getting on and off the cruise. Since the operating hours are limited, it's highly recommended to dash here for supplies and photos as soon as you dock. 3. Letras Ensenada - Ventana al mar Address: Fuentes de la API, Turístico, Zona Centro, 22800 Ensenada, B.C., Mexico Another iconic letter landmark, sitting right by the "Window to the Sea". With an expansive view and the wide-open ocean as its backdrop, this is a massively popular photo op for influencers. The golden reflection during sunset is absolutely breathtaking! 4. Ensenada Mirador Address: Cerro de Chapultepec, Fraccionamiento del Sol, 22870 Ensenada, B.C., Mexico Hours: Open 24/7 year-round If you want to overlook the entire port and downtown area, the Mirador observation deck—located at the city's highest point—is your top choice. I suggest coming around dusk when the sky softens and the distant mountains and city slowly light up. It's a fantastic spot for shooting epic ocean views and soothing your soul. 5. El Malecón Address: Zona Centro, 22800 Ensenada, Baja California, Mexico The liveliest waterfront promenade in Ensenada! Besides the unbeatable ocean views, the walkway is lined with a dazzling array of cafes and craft beer bars. Take a leisurely stroll, feel the gentle sea breeze, or find an open-air bar to sit back and enjoy authentic seafood tacos paired with Mexican beer. 6. Ventana al Mar Located at the end of El Malecón, this open plaza symbolizes the idea of "facing the sea, with spring blossoms blooming." With the ocean and sky merging into one, it's not just a great place for a walk—it also hosts occasional pop-up markets, live performances, and music. Sometimes, cruise passengers even put on spontaneous flash mobs. The vibe is amazing! Pro Tips: · The weather in Ensenada is mostly sunny, but the ocean breeze can get pretty strong, so remember to pack a light jacket. · You'll be walking a lot in the downtown area, so wearing comfortable shoes is a must! · The best times for photography are morning or dusk when the light is soft, giving the ocean a dreamy gradient color. · If you're on a cruise with a short layover, be sure to prioritize Crew Center, El Malecón, and the two major Letras spots! · Craving authentic seafood? I highly recommend the food stands near El Malecón—you absolutely have to try the taco de camarón (shrimp taco)! Every time I sail to Ensenada, looking out at the vast, tranquil ocean and distant mountains, it feels like all my worries wash away with the tide. The slow-paced lifestyle and pure natural beauty here work like magic, serving as the perfect soul massage for city dwellers.

California Road Trip 🚗 From sunny Los Angeles to romantic San Francisco, check in at classic landmarks across California. This self-driving route is definitely worth saving! Day 1: First Impressions of Los Angeles After landing at Los Angeles International Airport, head straight to the Getty Center (1200 Getty Center Dr). This hilltop museum offers excellent views overlooking the entire city of LA. Open Tuesday to Sunday from 10:00 AM, it’s recommended to visit in the evening to catch the sunset~ At night, go to Griffith Observatory (2800 E Observatory Rd) for the night view. Open until 10 PM on weekends, don’t forget your camera to capture the Hollywood sign! Day 2: Classic Los Angeles Check-ins The Ferris wheel at Santa Monica Beach (open all year, all day) is a must-photograph spot; it’s best to come in the morning when it’s less crowded. In the afternoon, drive to Anaheim to check out Route 66 (Anaheim section), where there are many retro car diners perfect for photos. Stay overnight in downtown Los Angeles for easier access to the next day’s itinerary. Day 3: Hollywood Celebration Day Universal Studios Hollywood (100 Universal City Plaza) hours vary by season; in November, it’s generally open from 9 AM to 8 PM. It’s recommended to buy tickets in advance on Trip.com. The Super Mario area is super fun! Be sure to watch the WaterWorld show at night—the special effects are amazing. Day 4: North to San Francisco Drive 5 hours to San Francisco, with the first stop at the Golden Gate Bridge. In the afternoon, visit Lombard Street to see the steepest street; comfortable shoes are recommended. Stay overnight at the Marriott at Fisherman’s Wharf to enjoy the most authentic seafood. The Courtyard by Marriott at Union Square is also very well located and great for shopping. Day 5: In-depth City Tour Alcatraz Island requires advance boat ticket reservations; it’s best to choose the first morning departure to avoid crowds. In the afternoon, watch the sea lions sunbathing at Fisherman’s Wharf. The Fog Harbor Fish House’s crab chowder is highly recommended. San Francisco has many hills, so drive carefully~ 🌟Tips: California sun is strong, be sure to bring sunscreen Renting a vintage car on Route 66 makes for better photos Book Alcatraz tickets at least 2 weeks in advance San Francisco has big temperature differences between morning and evening, bring a jacket

🌊 The Blue Fairy Tale on the Mexican Coastline: From Cabo San Lucas to Ensenada As the cruise slowly sails into the sunshine of the Baja California Peninsula, the first sight of Cabo San Lucas looks like a handful of scattered diamonds cast by God along the coastline. Every rock here tells a story of battling the waves for thousands of years, especially the neighboring lovers Playa del Amor (Lover’s Beach) and Playa del Divorcio (Divorce Beach) — love and freedom are separated by just a short stretch of reef. 🏝️ Todos Santos Island is the unexpected surprise of this trip! This town, known as the "Oasis Art Village in the Desert," perfectly blends traditional Mexican art with surf culture. Watching the sunset at The Pines Park, a wandering guitarist playing Spanish folk songs unexpectedly harmonized beautifully with the sound of the waves. ⛵ The second stop, Ensenada, shows a completely different vibe. Standing under the giant Monumental Flag, you truly understand why Mexicans love this land so much. The reef formations at Ojo del Surf surf spot look like deliberately arranged natural sculptures, and the fishermen at Quintas Beach still use the most primitive methods to haul in their nets, as if time has paused here. 🌅 The most unforgettable moment was early morning at Medano Beach: as the morning light gilded the waves, several local elders were teaching tourists how to weave bracelets from seaweed. They said this is a blessing ritual that has lasted for centuries in Baja California — to always wear the taste of the sea on your wrist. The city noise brought from the Port of Los Angeles at departure has long been washed away into a salty sea memory by this journey. It turns out the most charming thing about Mexico’s west coast is not the scenery, but the unhurried romance of the people living within it. Next time, I want to stay a whole week in a guesthouse in Todos Santos and listen to a different sea wave sonata every day! (Practical information attached: Medano Massages’ Baja-style coconut oil massage is a fatigue killer; CICESE Auditorium hosts local music performances monthly; to photograph the iconic Lover’s Beach Arch Rock, it’s recommended to arrive before 10 a.m.)

This trip wasn't just a simple cruise. It was a special experience with the top 7 contestants of Mr. Trot 3, making it even more memorable. The Mexico cruise aboard the Carnival Radiance, which ran from August 25th to 29th, 2025, was filled with excitement even before departure, and the experience exceeded all expectations. The first port of call, Catalina Island, with its picturesque scenery and relaxed atmosphere, made the trip even more special. The emerald seas along the coast and the charming charm of the port towns were impressive. The second destination, Ensenada, offered a glimpse into the vibrant Mexican atmosphere and local culture. The market and seafood cuisine were a feast for the eyes and the palate. The highlight of the trip was undoubtedly the gala show on board. The top 7 contestants of Mr. Trot 3 took the stage to sing and perform, transforming the cruise into a festival. The audience's unified celebration was truly captivating. The dazzling stage lighting and passionate stage presence kept the show going until the very end, and the final performance created a moving moment where everyone seemed to unite as one. This cruise wasn't just a simple trip; it was a special memory of music. The performances at sea and the charm of the Mexican ports of call were unforgettable experiences. Carnival Cruises is one of the most popular and popular cruise lines in the world, embracing the motto "Fun Ship." Carnival Radiance, which I boarded, was a magnificently renovated ship in 2021, and the vibrant atmosphere was palpable from the moment I boarded. Onboard, · Various restaurants and buffets: Mexican, steakhouse, pizza, burgers, and more. · Swimming pools and water slides: Activities to enjoy on the water. · Spas and fitness centers: Spaces for relaxation and wellness. · Theaters, clubs, and lounges: Nightly performances and shows. There was so much to enjoy that 24 hours a day seemed insufficient. What was particularly memorable was the free-spirited atmosphere that can only be felt on board. The sunrises and sunsets over the sea were so magnificent they couldn't be captured in photographs, and the breeze from the deck instantly blew away the fatigue of the trip. Furthermore, this time, a special Mr. Trot 3 TOP 7 Gala was held, making it a truly unique cruise experience. Even after the performance, the music and laughter echoed throughout the ship, reminiscent of a small festival at sea. #Cruise #Mr.Trot3 #Mr.Trot3Top7 #KimYongbin #SonBina #ChunRokdam #ChuHyukjin #ChoiJaemyeong #NamSeungmin #ChunGil #MexicoCruise #USATravel

#cityplaybook If you think world-class wine only comes from Napa, Tuscany, or Bordeaux — think again. Nestled in Baja California’s rolling hills, Valle de Guadalupe is Mexico’s best-kept secret and a paradise for wine lovers, foodies, and travelers chasing off-the-beaten-path charm. My visit felt like discovering something sacred before the rest of the world caught on. Vineyards stretch across sunbaked landscapes, framed by olive trees and desert blooms. The valley has over 150 boutique wineries, each with its own personality. I sipped bold reds and crisp whites at Monte Xanic and Vena Cava (built from repurposed boats!), where tasting rooms blend rustic architecture with sweeping views. What surprised me most was the culinary scene. Local chefs are redefining Baja-Med cuisine — think fresh seafood, handmade cheeses, and garden-grown herbs — all served al fresco under twinkling lights. Dinner at Fauna was unforgettable: inventive, elegant, and effortlessly relaxed. Beyond wine and food, the valley offers stylish eco-lodges, art installations, and desert trails. Mornings are quiet and golden; nights are cool and star-drenched. It’s a place that whispers, not shouts — and that’s its magic. Best time to visit: August to October (harvest season), though spring offers mild weather and fewer crowds. Getting there: Just a 2-hour drive from San Diego via the Tecate or Tijuana border crossings. A rental car is ideal. Tip: Make reservations in advance — especially during harvest festivals or weekends. #ValleDeGuadalupe #BajaWineCountry #VisitMexico #UndiscoveredWineRegion #FoodieTravel #BajaCalifornia #MexicanWines #ValleVibes #SlowTravelMexico #WineTastingWithAView #HiddenGemsNorthAmerica
