Rancho bonito

It’s a nice old place, it does not matches the picture in the website. The restaurant food is great and the costumer service outstanding.
The price was more than the one I was quoted when I made the reservations.
Too expensive for the value of the rooms.
The place is under remodeling

I stayed with my family this past weekend and was very pleasantly surprised. The facilities were very clean and the staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. My only \"negative\" is that the restaurant was a bit overpriced for the offerings. I was told (and saw) that the restaurant will be getting remodeled soon as it does need some updating. I look forward to hopefully visiting again.

Beautiful stay, location and staff were great. The problem was that I did not get the room I paid for. When I booked I requested a room with vineyard view, and agreed o pay the additional room fee. Ion check in I was told that there were no rooms with such views. I want to be charged for a regular room. And that option should be removed as it is deceiving to your clients.

Rancho Tecate offers peace and relaxation. The surroundings are gorgeous and I enjoyed my strolls around the property. There are vineyards, mountains, palm trees and a lake. So beautiful! The pool doesn’t close and there are comfortable cabanas. Just wish the pool was heated at night. The staff is very friendly.

Creepy & Overpriced

We stayed at Rancho Tecate, as a family friend had their wedding on the grounds. We decided to make it a weekend get-a-way, and stay over night.
Although the room itself was fairly nice, it definitely did not warrant the price-tag it came with. We seemed to be the only one staying on the premesis, which made it nice and quite, but almost too quite. We're hoping it was because it was off season.
Upon arriving to the building where our room was located, the windows of most of the rooms either had sheets hung up to serve as curtains or old 1970s draperies with white crumpled vinyl backing; making it feel like something straight out of the movie Psycho. No chance of getting killed in the shower though, as there was no hot water to take a shower. Without a hot shower, I decided on a hot cup of coffee to wake up. Unfortunately, the coffee maker was broken. The \"free WiFi\" was spotty, and we were not able to stay consistently connected in our room.
The only saving grace of this resort is the food at the restaurant on the grounds. Everything else was sub-par and creepy. I would not recommend staying here.

Rancho tecate is a nice place. A bit expensive for the quality of rooms and service. Rooms are spacious and clean comfortable beds. But walls are way to thin. I got stuck with rowdy neighbors heard them all night and early morning definitely didn't get a restful night. Besides that hot water wasn't functioning, called front desk was told they would send someone right away and no one came. Went to front desk to let them know my stay wasn't a 4.5 star service. I would say it was 2 star over their nonchalant attitude.

Amazing stay in Tecate

We had never been to Tecate and stumbled upon this property. It was truly amazing. Old school charm with a flair of newness. The cleanliness, hospitality, and food FAR surpassed anything in the states for a fraction of the price. Sure, the property is dated, but that is part of the charm. We can't wait to return!

Lovely Hotel in a gorgeous setting

The hotel is a little short on signage, but we managed to find it. It's in the middle of a vineyard on a huge piece of property. It's older, but it has a wonderful Mexican ambience..tile, wrought iron and amazing old wood furniture with hammered metal and iron pulls. It has the authentic Hacienda feel.

Rancho Tecate

The staff is fantastic! Just took an overnight. Not really for couples. The grounds need some tending, a little gardening and it'll be really an upgrade. Comfortable room with a a tiny window looking out on an unkempt area.
Pool was filled with kids, not enough lounges. However, with some attention to details surely this property will indeed excel. My previous 3 stays in Tecate have been at Rancho La Puerta. I didn't expect RLaP, but I did expect a bit quieter. World traveler here, doesn't mean I won't return to see future improvements. Their potential is open, good luck!! And Thank you to David and Francisco right off the bat!!

The quality of the hotel rooms is comparable to a cheap motel. Very thin walls - you can hear people in the other rooms and in the corridor. The room was supposed to have a view of the golf course - but instead, it was a view of a roof over the restaurant - with air conditioning units, pipes, cables, old cans of paint, various debris...
The side roads are not paved and every time it rains you need to make sure your can get over uneven and rough dirt.
The bathrooms are tiny and outdated, not sure about cleaningless...

Nice location, great service, good concept, but...

The area is nice and the concept is great for a weekend getaway. The best was the service from all staff. The down side was the room that had and old carpet that didn't feel clean. The bathroom did not have any nice details and was outdated. We chose that hotel and locations because they have horses that one can ride for a reasonable fee, but once we arrived we were told that we could not ride on the horses because there was an \"event\" and they were going to use the horses for such event, it was truly disappointing. At first the rate for the hotel seemed to be very good, but after looking at the room and not having the main amenity (horse riding) available, the rate was not that good after all. We recommend that before you make the booking, you confirm the amenities that will be available during the days that you are planning to visit Rancho Tecate.

Perfect for a romantic get away

It was a nice stay at Rancho Tecate, I personally enjoy the comfort of the room since it was very spacious, clean and comfortable. My wife and I stay for two nights and do some activities the place offered to do, special thanks to Carlos the man in charge of the horse rides; very knowledgeable and a nice person.
The food at the in-site restaurant was delicious, my only complaint is that there is just the choice of buffet through the morning until 5pm, and the buffet was delicious but a little bit expensive, so what happen if there is someone wants another meal??
In general, it is a nice place, perfect for couple and families.

Relaxing Time at Rancho Tecate Resort

We went to Rancho Tecate Resort this past week with friends, stayed two days, and thoroughly enjoyed every minute. The staff was courteous and very helpful, as well as knowledgeable about the history and future plans for the resort. Our rooms were very comfortable and spacious with all of the amenities expected from a first class resort. The restaurant is of the same high quality as the rest of the resort with food as delicious as in any high-end restaurant but at a fraction of the cost. We will return for another visit.

The hotel was a gem of a find. It's off the busy streets of Tecate, above the city. You will have to watch carefully for the signs pointing to the entrance but once there you'll love it!

Great place. Very relaxing, staff is trying to help you in any possible. Looks like they working on quite a few upgrades,planning to clean the lake, add spa and gym, would be great. I highly recommend to ask for property tour, very interesting to see (probably would be more interesting if guide would speak English or we would understand Spanish) but good anyway.
Restaurant is great as well. Wine tasting is little expensive, 250 pesos (about $17) even snobby California wineries don't charge that much.
Room is very clean and comfortable, the only minus is that water is hard to control, always jumps from scolding hot to cold.
But overall - great experience, would love to come again.

Relaxing weekend

It’s a good place to getaway, quiet, relaxing, you can go for walks, horseback riding (no extra charge), and rest and spend quality time together without having to rush to do anything or go anyplace. Feels cozy, and it does feel like a ranch, like staying at your grandparents ranch with vintage furniture a little mismatch but part of the charm, very cute in that way; it was so quite which was great to relax.

The room had a funky smell, maybe have some plug inns, we lighted a candle and it helped. Also there is only one restaurant on premises, but they have fridge in the room, bring snacks.

Wonderful getaway in original Baja wine country

Rancho Tecate is a beautiful resort just minutes across the Tecate border. The original ranch house is over 100 years old, decorated beautifully with lots of traditional character. The staff was very friendly and attentive from the moment we arrived - we were even greeted with a welcome drink during checkin. The hotel is surrounded by vineyards and lovely desert atmosphere. The Andalusian horses were gorgeous! Rancho Tecate is a great place to get away from reality for a few days. I will definitely be back.

A big surprise c

We came across into Mexico and this was not a planned destination.
It was great here!
We only expected a room only.
We were given welcome drinks, cheese platter and a choice of free activities: we chose the horseback riding and really enjoyed it.
This is an older ranch being updated and is a nice change from the American box style resorts with resort fees and sterile environment.
The people were genuine and very helpful.
A huge comfortable room.
We had a great stay!
