There are two ways to reach Rosarito Beach Hotel (RBH), where HiveFest will be held this year. One arrives at San Diego airport, and the other at Tijuana airport. In this post, we will share the travel logistics and the steps you must take after landing.
Pre-Journey
Download your airline's app to improve your airport experience and streamline it.
- Add passport numbers & any fast-track numbers for managing security.
- Once aboard, this is your Wi-Fi access (if your flight has it)
- This is how you keep track of your baggage. From your app, you can see if your bags made the flight. Also, it will indicate where your bags can be picked up
- Most airlines give free text messaging from your seat in the app.
Travelling with other Hiveans
If you are arriving at a similar time to another Hivean we will reach out to you beforehand and let you know so that you can meet up before your flight or when you have landed at the airport, so you can travel from the airport to RBH (Rosarito Beach Hotel) together.
Traveling by Taxi (HiveFest Travel Group on Telegram App)
If you have already bought a HiveFest ticket we have sent you an encrypted memo with the address to our telegram group called "HiveFest Travel Group" where we will pair you with a driver and arrange your transport from the airport to your accommodation.

Option 1) Go from San Diego Airport to San Ysidro border station crossing (here is how: https://www.rome2rio.com/s/San-Diego-Airport-SAN/San-Ysidro) and take the Rosarito Beach Shuttle directly to Rosarito Beach hotel: https://www.rosaritobeachhotel.com/shuttle.

Again, please join our "HiveFest Travel Group" on Telegram, so we can pair you with a driver before your flight arrives.
Crossing the US-Mexico border
Make sure to be in touch on the "HiveFest Travel Group" on Telegram
If you are taking the coach or bus across the boarder, you should expect to show your passport and have your bags scanned at the border. There is often a small 20-30 USD fee to pay to cross the border if going by bus, so have it ready to hand in case you are asked to pay this fee. Usually, you don't need to show your passport or pay if you go by taxi.
Once you have passed through the international border and worked through the big merger in the bend, permit yourself to relax. You've made it to Baja California! Enjoy the Pacific Ocean! You're only a few minutes from the Rosarito Beach Hotel.
Taxi fee Reimbursement
We appreciate that the airport transfer fees using the "HiveFest Travel Group" are somewhat steep. We are using the services of a professional, proven, reliable service. For this reason, following HiveFest, we cannot make any promises. However, we would like to partially reimburse these taxi fares. How much we can reimburse depends on how much is spent overall and what is left of the HiveFest budget at the end.
For those who want to catch a cheaper taxi (non-eligible for partial reimbursement) from Tijuana Airport only, there is a great app called Eiby Taxi with cheap, regular taxis for travel - Download the app on Android or on iOS. (Uber works in Rosarito, but is not as reliable as Eiby).
Arriving at the Hotel
You'll clear the security gate to enter the hotel property. Thankfully, the entrance is ideally close to the registration desk. During busy hours, you might experience a queue. Luckily, an espresso bar is just inside the vestibule so that you can grab something. There is a spacious hotel lobby to enjoy if you'd prefer to sip and wait until the registration desk is clear.
Registration may work a bit differently from what you are used to. You will pay your full balance to the Hotel at check-in. Do be prepared to have this expense ready to pay before you arrive. You'll be assigned a porter bellman who is not only friendly and knowledgeable but will also fit you with your brand new stylish RBH bracelet that gives you access to your residential tower as well the common areas of the Hotel, including the outdoor bar, private beach entrance, and gardens.
Festival Check-in
Once you have checked into your room and rested a little, wander down to the HiveFest festival, check-in, and register that you have arrived at the event.
You must show your ticket, confirm your eating preferences, collect your name tag, HiveFest official T-shirt, Hivefest official wristband and welcome tote bag.
