Question

Where to stay?

Answer

...tricky question... I guess it depends on what are you looking for (we can help you out, just let us know). Guadalupe Valley has plenty of boutique hotels to stay, however, most of them have no TV or other amenities that big hotels have (like wifi). And this is the theme of the valley, so you can go and relax and unplug yourself from the world. On the other hand, Ensenada has many hotels for every pocket. There are also lots of Airbnb places that you could rent. We strongly advise you that wherever you stay, take a look at their reviews, see all the amenities or even contact them directly if you have any question or concern. Maglen resort is actually a 3 related hotels. Encinal section has 24 rooms and there is a restaurant opened for lunch and dinner as well as a brewery. Next section is called Tesela, where there are 30 bungalow style rooms (looks for pictures on their website). Las Villas section has another restaurant and is also where we're having the wedding party.

Question

¿Dónde hospedarse?

Answer

Esta puede ser algo complicada pero yo diría que depende de qué es lo que estés buscando (ubicación, precio, amenidades, etc) El Valle de Guadalupe tiene muchos hoteles boutique, sin embargo, la mayoría no tienen TV (y unos ni wi-fi), y esto es porque así es el tema del Valle, un lugar para ir a relajarse y desconectarse del mundo. Por otro lado, Ensenada tiene muchos hoteles y para todos los presupuestos. También hay lugares que se rentan por Airbnb si así lo desean. Independientemente del lugar donde deseen hospedarse, les recomendamos que lean bien las opiniones de usuarios, qué es exactamente lo que incluye la habitación e inclusive contactarlos directamente si tienen alguna duda. Maglen resort en realidad es un conjunto de 3 hoteles. El Encinal tiene 24 habitaciones, 1 restaurante que abre para comidas y cenas y una cervecería. La siguiente sección se llama Tesela donde tienen 30 pequeñas habitaciones estilo búngalo (pueden ver las fotos en su sitio web).

Question

Returning to the USA

Answer

The wait times to cross the border on Sunday can be between 2-5 hours all the way up to 9 hours if you don't have a Sentri or Ready Lane card (Sunday is the busiest crossing day), so we are encouraging our guests to celebrate and enjoy their vacation on Sunday, and not to return until Monday. For those traveling in personal vehicles, we recommend applying for the Global Entry Trusted Traveler Program (Cost: $100 USD) for less wait times at the international border. With this feature you are allowed to use the SENTRI/Express lanes which experience significantly less wait times. Please note that each person, and the vehicle used for travel, must be registered. Non-members who attempt to cross the border in the SENTRI/Express lanes may be subject to fines of up to U.S. $5,000.

Question

What to Bring??

Answer

Passport (is a must), Small-bills US Dollars and any Medications you'll need! Summer in Guadalupe Valley is SUNNY and WARM! However, when it rains, it rains! So please make sure you check the weather before packing. If you want to do wine tasting or visit Ensenada bring your sunscreen, a sun hat, comfortable shoes, flip-flops and your swimsuit (why not, there's a pool at the hotel). GET YOUR PASSPORT NOW & RENEW IT NOW! SMALL BILLS: Locals happily accept U.S. Dollars, however, never have change for bills larger than $20. Trust me, BREAK YOUR BILLS BEFORE CROSSING! Remember this area is running off tourism and is a tip-economy. $5-15 goes a LONG way in food and drinks so don't forget to tip! MEDICATIONS: Anticipate and be pro-active with what you'll need. We do not want anyone to feel "stuck" without their prescriptions or emergency medicines.
