Staff was amazing. They made me feel welcome and at home. Very professional and I genuinely felt like they care abut their guests. I will come back just because of how well the staff treated me and my brother. Waiting with me til my car arrived , super fast service when ordering from restaurant etc so many compliments I have for the staff. Location is great too literally right on the beach!!! Hotel does have very hot running water and bathrooms are very clean. Rooms are on the smaller side, but efficient nonetheless.

The location was great very near to the event we were attending that night. The place looked good but don't be fooled by the appearances. The place was infested with roaches, if you don't have an issue sharing a room with a bunch of them is a good place. But personally I dont like them. I have to leave the premises at midnight (literally) I decided to get up and when I turn up the light there was one on the wall I ran to the bathroom I killed two there. When we decided to leave my husband found another one in the closet. Unfortunately he only took 2 pictures. But I wouldn't go back nor recommend this place to anyone who dislikes roaches as much as I do. Forgot to mention the first two we saw when we arrived from the event. We had room service before leaving, and left some plates on the table, when we came back I saw one a small one and killed it, we went for a walk agan came back and another one. We called reception and were told to leave the plates on a table by the hallway since restaurant was already close. Yup that was our terrible stay at Jatay Playas de Tijuana.

The close proximity to the beach was the only good thing about this location. This hotel overall was sub-par. They want to call themselves a 4-star hotel but the rooms were just ok. They also charged us $150 for a "stain" on the mattress; it felt like a scam since it was in a area frequented by tourists. I even witnessed them trying to pull the same predatory tactic on another American couple. I would highly encourage visitors to look elsewhere. Del Mar would have been better; at least they include a free daily breakfast for their Booking.com customers. One of the receptionists was highly unprofessional and rude. The hotel has a bad vibe. It looks elegant on the outside but completely lacks soul on the inside.

It’s really nice place to stay! Especially the beach is right front of the building, and staff was really nice! Worth of my visit! Would highly recommend to come here! NONE!

Unbeatable beachfront location across from a big entrance to the malecon. The views from the restaurant and elevator are stunning. Food and entertainment are close by, a 7-11 across the street, with easy Uber drop-off and pickup. Comfort and cleanliness of room and rest of hotel premises were excellent. Staff was friendly and very helpful. Offers spa massage and beauty services. Excellent in-house restaurant menu. Felt like a combo boutique-family hotel, fantastic alternative to big-brand hotels. Totally would stay again. All Mexican hotels have single-paned glass, and the hotel is close to an outdoor beach-level dj/dance area that starts up early and goes all day, so not a quiet location if you’re looking for that. I had a hard time with the LG tv remote, even to turn it off; the red Off button did not work.

The picture of the room shows a view of the beach. On the standard room once we got there I ask for the room of the beach they told me it’s additional $25 extra. I told them it shows on the Expedia web site they said it was wrong. And then I ask for extra blankets we never got them. Room check out time was at 12pm by 11am they were already knocking on the door even when the sign says don’t disturb they open my door when I was still in the room changing.

So I was blessed to stay an extra night and I did get the beach view however the only obstruction is the people on the beach and all the performances Thursday Friday and Saturday nights and they're usually out there sometimes past midnight then it finally gets quiet. But it's still a beautiful view and when it does get quiet you can hear the sounds of the ocean loving you to sleep the hotel is absolutely Immaculate the service is impeccable the food is delicious this is my first time in Tijuana and it didn't disappoint!!! The front desk staff Mr Alfredo and the lady that works there the kitchen staff Gabriel is amazing everybody's so kind and friendly and accommodating I felt like I was with family :-)

The property is ok but the front desk personnel was totally tactless, when saying that if they found blood or any other body fluid on blankets or towels they would let me pay for them as they need to buy new ones. Before me there were more guess checking in and neither of them were warned about it as I described. As soon as I entered the room given to me I checked the linen. The bed spread was burned, it was changed for a second one stained from bleach. The towels …. Well not looking good. The housekeepers tried to do a good job but nothing help me feel better. I just stayed because I paid in advanced and that was my first time in Tijuana. (My last time in Jatay Hotel)

While the staff was great the management was horrible. He berated one of the staff members in front of me and my children during our breakfast. The rest of the staff was very accommodating. The beds in my room were 2 doubles. They were extremely hard like sleep on a wood board. The room was very small. They did clean it daily and provide 2 bottles of drinking water daily. My car was broken intobin the parking lot. Luckily a security guard stopped the incident. The view of the beach was very good.the hotel restaurant was not good. The food was cold.No taste at all. There are many better restaurants in the area that are cheaper and tastier. We stayed 5 days and found a lot of better places to eat. There is air conditioning in the rooms but they do not use it in the hallways or elevators. Next time I am in town I will stay at a different hotel. Again the staff was wonderful but the hotel itself was life staying at a prison instead of what is supposed to be a relaxing get away.

We had 2 rooms, 1 with 2 queen beds and 1 with a king bed. They were both nice but I did notice ours with the king bed had no chair or trash bin in our room like the 2 queen room. The rooms also have no mini fridge so just keep that in mind. Our room was next to the stairs and you can hear people in the hallway passing by. Location was good, staff is very friendly and the hotel is clean. The parking felt safe and secure. They have a couple of spaces under the hotel and then right next door they have a gated area.

Our room experience was horrible. The wi-fi didn’t work at all, I called the front desk, they said that they will reset the system but it never worked. There was no hot water, we had to shower with cold water in the morning. The AC did not work at all, it was extremely hot at night to top it off the AC light was ON the whole night, it was like sleeping with the lights on. Our window view was their back stock area, full or toilet paper, mops and cleaning supplies our beds were also very hard. I’m have never left a review before even with bad experience because I don’t like to talk negative instead I love to help business but this was very very upsetting :(
