Au contraire! Time has come to announce the Hotel, first speakers and availability of the HiveFest tickets:** ## Hivefest Hotel: Rosarito Beach Hotel & Spa This year, we will all stay together in a resort hotel on the Californian coast. The location is [Rosarito Beach Hotel (RBH)](https://www.rosaritobeachhotel.com/). We would like to request that everyone going to Hivefest stays at RBH because it is right in the heart of the tourist area, and many of the Hivefest events are either at the resort or nearby. This will make it easier on transport arrangements plus we got great hotel rates. We are confident that the rates we secured are so good that it won't be possible to find better prices anywhere else in the area (use bookingcode HIVEFEST! Finally, almost all the rooms have ocean views, and you will see some great Californian sunsets with your margaritas 🍹! The Rosarito Beach Hotel is situated on the Baja Californian coast. It is a large resort with ample pools, jacuzzis, bars, private beach access, restaurants, art shops. Did we mention the HiveFest activities are either at the resort or nearby. **Here are the details of the hotel:** **Rosarito Beach Hotel & Spa** Blvd. Benito Juárez 31, Playas Rosarito, 22710 Rosarito, B.C., Mexico Tel: +528002652322 Website & Booking: https://www.rosaritobeachhotel.com/ - Promo code for online booking: HIVEFEST* - Promo code for telephone bookings: HIVEFEST 2023
