My telephone reservation was made with a wonderfully pleasant bi-lingual clerk named Veronica. She was capable and friendly. Upon arrival, we wer pleasantly greeted by a different woman. Our room was a 1 bedroom suite that was in very good condition, except for the grout around the tub. It was clean and had a wonderful ocean view. The golf course is challenging, to say the least. The Clubhouse morning bartender makes the best Bloody Marys I think I've ever had.

All in all, a very nice golf resort for a very decent weekday price. Would say again.

This hotel was generally on par with a Residence Inn in the US and so was the price. Certainly not a bargain just because its in Mexico. Beautiful elevated location overlooking the sea. Included hot/cold breakfast buffet was adequate. Free beers at happy hour were great after a long drive in traffic to get there. Staff were very polite and pleasant to deal with. Room was clean and tidy with a full size fridge and kitchen facilities. The only complaint is that we woke up the second day to find a half inch of icy cold water covering the bathroom floor. We were checking out that day so we didn't hang around to find out the cause but it seemed like the water was dripping from the ceiling.
Onsite restaurant offered good quality food for dinner at $20-35 per main course. Choice of wines was limited to a couple of reds and whites identified and described only by their varietals.
Be prepared to pay approximately $2.50 USD toll each way on the highway from Tijuana.
All in all, if we had to go back to this part of the world we'd probably stay at this hotel again.

We were pleasantly surprised by the beautiful property at the Residence Inn Real del Mar in Tijuana. Our king suite room overlooked the ocean and the immaculate golf course. The complimentary continental breakfast in the lobby was more than ample (eggs, potatoes, breads, muffins, cereals, juices, oatmeal) and the happy hour was a nice touch from 5-7 p.m. daily (get there early). Had a massage in the spa which was wonderful, while my boyfriend played nine holes on this long and challenging course. Not all that far from Ensenada and Puerto Nuevo (you've got to go there for the lobster!). The toll roads are nice but can get expensive if you're traveling back and forth daily; might want to opt for the non-toll roads which were well-kept, just slower-moving due to traffic signals. Didn't try the high-end restaurant on property, but it looked a bit pricey and underutilized. Close to the border for easy access. I would definitely recommend this hotel and would easily go back there again. The front desk , spa, golf and bell staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. An all-around winner!

The Residence Inn Real del Mar hotel in Baja, Mexico (only 20 miles south of San Diego) was a very nice
surprise! We had been booked for Hawaii for April, but with all the rain, we cancelled at the last minute. Since it was Spring Break, we decided to drive until we "hit sun". We had read reviews of this property, so we gave it a try. Beautiful location above the highway, overlooking the ocean and golfcourse. Pool was limited, but adequate for our children (age 9). Restaurant on site was great and drive to Puerto Nuevo for lobster-$10 for a full dinner that was fantastic! Rosarito was crazy with Spring Break kids, but we had plenty to do around the area for a couple of days. Fellow travelers said the golf course was great ($55 with cart) and there is a beautiful tennis area on site. Great getaway!
