Rosarito is a municipality of 127,000 people (2010) in Baja California, Mexico. It has luxury resorts that have the shape of skyscrapers near the sea. It has an extensive and beautiful coastline, sandy beaches, cliffs, a beautiful climate, modern hotels, excellent restaurants, Mexican crafts, popular festivals, and celebrations.
Food, coffee, desserts, and music. Take out and delivery available.
Mongolian BBQ (select your meats, fresh veggies and seasonings). Weekly specials like Korean tacos and Thai coconut curry with chicken, shrimp, and bamboo shoots.
Built in 1925, this classic establishment is perfect for younger couples looking to have a great time in Rosarito. It has multiple pools and jacuzzis, and is situated right on the beach. There are numerous restaurants and bars in the hotel, and guests are given vouchers upon check-in so that they may enjoy a certain amount of free meals and drinks. If tranquility and relaxation are what you have in mind, this is not the place for you. Because it is centrally located amongst Rosarito's downtown area on Benito Juarez, the music from the clubs is audible until 04:00, and the bass will shake the hotel, making it hard for those guests who are not out partying to fall asleep. If you are looking to go clubbin, let loose, and catch some sun during the day, however, this is the place for you.
