“In my opinion, this establishment has a long history in Ensenada, and stands out for its interior decor inspired by ancient Mexican art. The on-site casino provides Las Vegas-style gaming, and the poolside restaurant has maintained a culinary reputation since 1968. Although some aspects require attention, its downtown location is convenient for experiencing local attractions.”
