About this house

Casa Serena is a 5-room recovery house built for patients coming out of bariatric, plastic, and dental procedures at Tijuana's major clinics. Everything is calibrated for the first 72 hours of recovery: low beds, walk-in showers with grab bars, blackout curtains, gentle HVAC, soft-textured meals on a 4-meal-a-day schedule.

What makes Casa Serena unusual is the live-in nursing team — a head RN and two assistants split shifts so there's always someone on-site. Cancellations are honored up to 24 hours before arrival, even on long stays.

You don't need a MediTours procedure to book — many guests come here recovering from US hospitals or after long flights from Canada and the EU.

"I came for gastric sleeve and stayed 6 nights. Mariana's team checked vitals every 4 hours like clockwork. The soft-food chef is unreal — the protein shakes were actually delicious. Best decision I made."

"Booked here without a MediTours procedure — I needed recovery from a hospital in San Diego. Easiest cross-border medical experience I've had. The driver met me at the CBX bridge."

"Plastic surgery recovery, 5 nights. The garden patio is genuinely lovely for a slow walk on day 3. Lost a half-star because Wi-Fi in my room was inconsistent, but everything else was top-tier."

"My wife joined for the trip and the companion bed worked great — she was 2 feet from me without paying extra. The check-in tour explained every emergency feature; I felt safe from minute one."
