Cruiseport Marina Wi-Fi is reliable and steady in the evenings. Second time in Ensenada now, first in December 2016; Ensenada seems cleaner and as friendly as ever, if driving, vigilance to potholes and other drivers a super must, overall few complaints and nice small town ambience compared to the four-lane one-way freeway culture many of us have come from.
Cruiseport is fairly new and pretty good. Facilities are clean. Security is good. There is WiFi but it is not the fastest.
Baja Naval is a small marina outside a big boat repair yard. Everyone hauled out is also using those showers and toilets.
Baja Naval is a nice Marina. As a lot of Marinas in Mexico, the cleanness of the shower and bathroom is disappointing.
