Quintas Papagayo

I really love this place. It has this Rat Pack-​era, hip Palm Springs vibe and design and it is right on the water. I have stayed in their suites, studios and multi-​room cabanas and they are all great. The studio was only about $ 45/​night and it was a modest offering but for a comfy, clean bed in Ensenada you can’t beat it. The other rooms were very nice and big! Daniel at the front desk is super friendly and helpful. Can’t wait to come back!

My boyfriend and I stayed here for Christmas. The bungalow rooms are ocean view & are simply adorable. Has a little kitchen with plates, utensils, pots & pans, microwave & fridge. The whole property is gated, so therefore I had no worries.
The staff is very friendly & even offered to help start the fire in our fireplace. Rooms are clean & blankets are clean & warm too! Whether you’re a party of 2 or a party of 10, they have all types of rooms that will suit your needs.
I forgot my purse at the hotel when we checked out & didn’t remember until we were in line to cross the border. I called them right away & Danny at the front desk confirmed it was there. He said they’d hold it for me until we returned. I was a little worried some of my stuff might come up missing.
Three months later (March)we’re back and yes I did get my purse back with everything in it, I was very grateful. Again, as I mentioned before, the staff here are great folks & we will definitely make it out go to place when we stay in Ensenada!

Love this place I wouldn’t book if for a few days though. Because the water in the shower was freezing and we could not turn it on and the wifi is never working no matter were you are also you need matches to turn the stove.

Even when all other hotels are full in Ensenada during weekends when there are Mexican wine country Valle de Guadalupe events like the paella festival we went to you can count on Quintas Papagayo to have a place for you!
The place is VERY rustic and if that does not bother you then you will appreciate the fact that Papagayo is a clean place to stay with a degree of quaint charm.
The only real complaint about this place that I have is that we were once without water for quite a while. However, it is likely that all hotels in Ensenada may have this problem as well as water is relatively scarce in Ensenada.
Papagayo is close to the beach which offers pretty nice views as you might imagine.
Papagayo is not a quiet place to relax it seems. The weekend we stayed here you could hear music and the chatter of people.
The rooms have kitchens with regular sized refrigerators.
All in all Quintas Papagayo is what it is — cheap and clean lodgings with no frills.
Parking is no issue here really.
