Pros: Amazing views!! Great location with a 5 minute cab ride to town. The service is incredible and you are treated like royalty. Doesn't feel crowded even though it was completely booked. The staff is completely committed to ensure you are comfortable. The pool is absolutely beautiful and we loved the gym. Rooms are nice but not over the top. Very safe resort with guards at the gate. There are two sides to the resort, a quiet side and a side for the younger crowd. Even though we had the quieter side, some pool music would be nice. The landscape and views of lands end are incredible. Food is very good and plentiful as were the drinks. Pool side service was great and very easy to keep your drink full!! We will stay at the Riu again next trip.
Cons: You can not swim on this beach. It is cool to watch the massive waves crash on shore though. The buffet selection for breakfast and lunch gets tired after a few days. They need another towel station at the quieter pool. It was quite a hike to go get towels exchanged. I booked an ocean view room and got a garden view. Since the hotel was booked, they couldn't move us for a day but when they did, we got the best rooms in the resort!

Pros: Amenities - lots of restaurants and bars Location - close to downtown/beach Option to use neighboring Riu Santa Fe hotel
Cons: Food was mediocre, wine was bad. One guest got sick from what I can only guess was something he eat from a Riu Palace restaurant. Very loud - even in room.

Pros: Such an honest staff they have. At checkout we had left some things behind (forgetten).. came back a few hours later and they sure had our electronic device in a safe place, along with something else that is well cherish. THAT MADE US FEEL LIKE AT HOME :D
Excellent
9,4
Pros: We loved the resort and grounds especially at night. It is so beautiful and relaxing. We also liked how the pools were situated and the different options for pools. We loved the wait staff. We really liked the location. It made everything easily accessible, and we were really able to enjoy Cabo. The rooms were spacious and comfortable.
Cons: I didn't like the attitude I received from the woman that was to welcome us to the hotel but was really trying to get us to a timeshare presentation. First of all, we know the game that is played, which is they tell you it is something else, but that is what it ends up being. Why should I be given attitude for my preferences? I chose to spend 9 days there and spend our money there, but it didn't seem appreciated when I checked in..Secondly, we asked about renting a car twice while I was there. First time, the girl seemed disinterested in explaining and gave us a rate sheet to look at. Second time, the Concierge said someone would call us back in few minutes but never did.

Pros: Check-in was quick and painless, and included a free upgrade to a master suite in Building P right by the ocean (thanks!). Pool waiters were prompt and attentive with fantastic drinks and courteous service. My room was clean and quiet (YES!) and the bed was comfortable. I was staying solo but traveling with a large wedding group, and they took exceptional care of us all. WiFi worked. The wedding setup and service was exceptional. Mauricio took care of our group all day at the pool and during the wedding dinner. Great service! This has been my preferred Cabo resort for years, and it lived up to my high expectations yet again. This was trip #13 to Cabo for me, and it's one of my best trips yet.
Cons: I was unable to secure a late checkout, which made my last day less smooth and relaxing than I'd like. Small courtesy suites for early arrivals and late departures would be ideal (other resorts in the area do offer them).

Pros: Hotel has great services, for sure. The Spa is wonderful and the hotel does what it can to make sure your visit is enjoyable. Walking from the hotel to the city is not close. The rooms are very nice and each room has a great view. See the negative for other details.
Cons: Cabo is not what it used to be. Now there are time shares everywhere and high end luxury mall. Here are the bad things about this hotel in a nut shell. Can go into the beach (Pacific current is too strong and hotel warns against it.) You have to pay for everything (Gym Fee, Business Center Fee, Internet Fee, Tennis Fee) For the money (Roughly $400 a night without the all inclusive) is not worth the stay. There are many other places in the world to stay then Cabo for that price.

Pros: We had not been all that impressed with the Cabo area in the past, but really liked the location of this resort for easy access and views of the Marina, as well as the private ocean beach and proximity to downtown. We generally prefer the Carribean side of of the Yucatan Peninsula for the clear blue waters there, but this vacation definitely had us re-considering the Cabo area for future destinations, and especially liked the very tip for location. A very good value and experience overall!
Cons: The food and service were good, and the amenities and resort overall were far better than average, but I would not say necessarily upscale.
Excellent

Pros: Friendly, well maintained and very clean. Many choices for all inclusive food, drinks, snacks. Nice fitness center. Had fun view of harbor and dolphins center below resort. pool area large with several options. include wifi worked well. Large purified water dispenser in room is nice touch. Loved the included coffee/cupcake shop.
Cons: Shifted to "upgraded view room" on check in. No King option, not a junior suite and due to excessive wind related noise was not acceptable... offered alternative after first saying they had none but was in a poor location.... finally got very nice room after we got cranky. Included food options good, food was generally good, not great. Housekeeping missed a day once wasn't end of the world. We're not helpful on phone before trip regarding airport transportation... assume $80 each way. Could have had more shade at pool.

Pros: everybody was top on there job!!!!!
Cons: they don't take American money and they don't give the best exchange rate at the hotel......I got up to 1310 pesos in town and 1250 in the hotel..which meant anything over the all inclusive price was costly..also was offered to take part in timeshare and the people were rude and we fet pressured....

Pros: The staff was super helpful, extremely close to the Cabo Del sol golf course. You can jump in a shuttle and be at the Ocean/Desert course in 7 minutes.
Cons: As an individual, I ate meals at other hotels because I had friends in town, so I'm not sure if the premium I paid for it was worth it. The pool area fills up quickly (I think this is the case in most resorts.) But you have to wake up early to grab a chair next to the pool. Lastly, the INTERNET SPEED IS HORRIBLE. I got .2 MB / seconds download when I was able to connect and I was bounced off a lot. I intended to work while I was down here, and came home a day early because I could not use the internet.

Pros: The resort is beautiful, clean and has amazing views. Options are abundant with top shelf drinks and quality restaurant options. We thoroughly enjoyed time spent at the beach, and all poil options.
Cons: No dislikes, but a suggestion for improvementwould be adding more night events with dancing and music throughout the common areas. The staff were very attentive and any minor issues were resolved immediately.
Located in Centro, this spa hotel is within a 10-minute walk of Golden Cactus Gallery and Cabo Dolphins. Marina Cabo San Lucas and The Arch are also within 1 mile (2 km).

Pros: Wonderful location, friendly staff, great breakfast with views. We enjoyed a day by the pool and walking the harbour. Beds were incredibly comfortable. The staff are doing a great job with COVID protocols - we appreciated that! Unfortunately, not all guests are as concerned or receptive to mask mandates and distancing. With that said, the resort has outdoor corridors and large open air spaces and has spaced out the pool area so the staff is doing everything possible to keep things safe - thank you!
Cons: Our room although at first glance was well presented, definitely needed a deep clean. A close look at the light switches was not super inspiring during COVID. Lots of hand washing! Unfortunately the location of our room was very, very loud with a local bar having a live performance at night. We understand it’s CABO and noise is to be expected but must have been the perfect storm of locations/noise channeling to that particular unit as we didn’t hear it the following night in a different suite.
Good
7,4
Pros: In the heart of the Marina, is both good as a lot of events/ activities close by but the flip side you'll be close to a army of folks trying to sell you stuff, trips & Time shares etc. Pool staff are good.
Cons: They use a wrist band system so be ready to wear that for the week. Had an issue with the magnetic keys were I had to get replacements pretty much every day!

Pros: The location is the best part. You're right on the marina and can take a $5 water taxi to the beach. Plenty of places to eat and shop in the Marina area. The property itself is better than I expected in Mexico. Staff was very friendly and the property was clean. The pool was great. Waiter kept our glasses full. It's located 3 blocks from Cabo Wabo which is perfect since we came down for Sammy's Birthday Bash. The food options on site are all average. Everything was good but not great. The concierge was great at helping us plan a sunset sailboat cruise. It was perfect! We plan on staying here again.
Cons: The food was average.

Okay
5,7
Pros: The rooms were clean, other than the front desk the staff was friendly and helpful. location is nice for marina traffic and getting to inner city shopping as well as getting to beach. included breakfast buffet was nice although lacking a bit of daily variation.
Cons: Front desk refused to honor price of extra child per reservation. online said extra $10 per day, front desk wanted to charge $100 extra per day. front desk said if they had an email or call they would honor $10 charge. after an hour on the phone to get a supervisor to agree to talk to front desk, front desk refused to talk to them and refused to honor $10 charge offering instead $30 per day. the room they gave us then was behind/above the pool/bar kitchen. so 5am every morning we got to listen to staff prepping breakfast, pots, pans, conversations. fold out bed was wrapped in plastic and had no bedding. took 2 hours to get bedding after calling 3 times, not to mention the mattress itself, I've had waffles that were thicker than this and probably would have been more comfortable to sleep on. Tesoro rules prohibit external food/drink in rooms so we were not allowed to bring our groceries into rooms, even though we had a kitchenette and staff at elevators check suspicious bags before letting you up. also states that the fridge in room is for honor bar items ONLY - if you remove items from the fridge (beer/soda), even if you don't open them you will be charged. if you put other items in fridge you will be charged. will not be returning at any price.

Pros: Staff was courteous and helpful. Facility was clean with nice architecture. Free breakfast buffet was fantastic.
Cons: Received conflicting information by front desk personnel on shuttle services to airport. I understood the hotel did not operate shuttle services however a third party did. Front desk personnel kept telling me there are no shuttle services however bell boys had all details including times for shuttle services. It was a bit frustrating to find this out. Anyway, I reserved my booking with a bell boy and made payment with him.

Pros: Friendliness of staff that helped my husband and I out. The guys at the bar at 5pm telling us that its happy hour. Concierge that confirmed all of our activities as well as rescheduling them so we can worry less about our vacation. One of the best vacation we have taken in a long time.
Cons: Toilet in our room couldn't stop leaking even though we told them daily. Bees that showed up on the pankakes and fench toast for breakfast. Charging us incorrectly for the mini fridge and didn't stock the big bottles of water in the fridge toward middle of vacation
Excellent
8,5
Pros: I called the hotel to see about free transportation. Anna Banana was AMAZING! She told us about a promotion they had. I loved the discounts (free shuttle round trip, $50USD credit towards food/drinks/spa, free breakfast buffet, discounted excursions, free drinks upon arrival) from the promotion: “1 hour VIP tour”, however, it was actually a timeshare they were trying to sell. Well worth it though.
Cons: When I booked the hotel, it said free breakfast was included, however, the hotel did not accept this for reasons I’m not sure. They told me to call the site I booked with. I spent 45mins-1hr on the phone with Kayak & Getaroom, whom I booked through and all they can do was give me 15% of what I paid for the stay back, which was less than what we spent on breakfast. That was very frustrating, embarrassing and disappointing.

6,2
Pros: Location is excellent - you can walk in right off of the marina. Breakfast is ok. Pool area was nice. Staff is friendly and attentive plus they are very helpful in assisting you to make arrangements (for transportation, information, etc). Close to downtown area where there are lots of night clubs as well as bars and strip clubs. Lots of decent bands playing at the restaurants and bars. Also, the hotel is close to activities such as glass bottom boat tours, parasailing, jet skis, etc. You can see beautiful fish and sea lions swimming while walking along the marina. They offer a shuttle service to the airport which is cheaper than calling a cab.
Cons: No washcloths in bathroom (make sure to bring your own washcloth or a wash poofy). Paid extra for wifi to use on our cell phones and it was incredibly slow. Stay was "uncomfortable" - you pretty much are forced to either hang out in your room or wonder out to the marina where you will spend money and get harassed by solicitors every 5 feet. We visited the pool area in the evening and it was not crowded at all but not sure what it is like during the day. Layout of the hotel is a little confusing - it was difficult to try to find the pool area.

We were transferred to the older Solmar Resort to quarantine for Covid. The staff was very nice, but the rooms are very old, the TVs are about 32" wide and hang from the ceiling, so you can only watch them when you're laying down in bed. There wasn't even a chair in my room I could use. The room service food was plentiful, but not very flavorful and they have very few healthy items on the menu. However, the staff was fabulous! If you are on a budget this might be an okay place to stay, but it is definitely not deluxe in any way, shape, or form.

Pros: It is a small resort, easy to get around. Quite. No trouble getting reservations for dinner. No problem when you are late for your reservations. How accommodating the staff are.
Cons: There was no seating on the actual beach. Nice pools but currently you only have your towel to sit at the beach.
Okay
5,7
Cons: The price for the facilities was not reflective of the age of the hotel. The facilities seemed like it was from the 70's but the price was for something in the 2000's. The beach was not open for swimming either. There was not shuttle to downtown CABO. This seemed impractical since it was probably about 1.5 miles to downtown. You were forced to get a cab for $8 or circle around for downtown parking in a rental car. The staff at the front desk seemed to be perturbed that i was checking in.

Pros: The staff was very good. They helped us get a nice room at the front desk. The pool and grounds and restaurant staff was very accommodating and paid great attention to us. Very Impressed. I requested my reservation with Kayak for 2 adults in my room, and some how the final print out with "Solmar All Inclusive "only had listed 1 adult in my room and charged me extra for my guest $60 each day to stay in my room. And the room was not included to be all inclusive, as stated in the name of the resort on the reservation "Solmar All Inclusive" ----This also was the case with guests checking in at the same time, who we did not know, who had used a different reservation process, they were charged additional for the second person and did not know it was not all inclusive.. ----The front desk staff, did try to help us... Obviously not there fault. They explained that if we paid for a more expensive room, we would not get charged for the extra guest, either way we ended up having to spend much more than we agreed when we booked and paid with visa the room on line. Very Disappointing. The entire time we were there we were surrounded by construction both at the entry of the resort and tractors on the beach in front of our view. The work began early in the morning waking us up every morning, jack hammers tearing up concrete and large tractors moving bolders and palm trees all day long. This was not disclosed on the reservation. Very Disappointed. The view was nice, but the rooms were very outdated. We stayed 2 nights at Solmar to visit friends staying there for a special occasion. The staff every where was wonderful but we would not return to this property. They did not disclose that the property was in major construction, the room was dated, and the price charged before arriving was not at all the price I had to pay to stay there..

Pros: The accessibility to the town and ocean The waiters and staff in the resort
Cons: The staff in the front office were incredibly rude to myself and family. They did not have a room for us and instead of being apologetic, described it as “our lucky day.” They tried to send us to their sister hotel, 20 minutes away, away from the beach and town. They were rude, arrogant, unapologetic. We spent the first day arguing to have a room in the hotel we reserved for 3 and 1/2 hours. They eventually gave us someone’s time share with the risk that we may have to leave if they showed up. The rooms were old. My parents sink leaked on their feet every time they used it My husband and mom got food poisoning. Would never return to this hotel.

Pros: Beautiful smaller resort. Love the beach and pool as well as the swim up bar. Clean rooms with a spectacular view.
Cons: A view updates are needed on the rooms but otherwise wonderful place!

Pros: Great location, sweet service people (who will soon be out of jobs). I got a great rate but more than $200 you should go elsewhere. Great sushi..be sure to see Armando and make friends with him...you will love this guy.
Cons: There is the heavy hand of an oppressive management everywhere. The service people are great, but there are shaking in their boots, worried that they will violate any of the numerous rules and regulations. I only paid $182 incl tax for 2 people all incl. That is about the MAX you should pay here. Any more and you will be upset. There are panning to tear down this hotel in 2 years 2 further destroy this magnificent setting with yet another behemoth Las Vegas style mega hotel. It will make you cry...it will soon be an unlivable ghetto. Also, you will wake up every morning, including Sunday to the sound of construction and loud voices from 830am through out the day. Pretty depressing overall. Food is passable but not good. Only one restaurant option

Pros: Food was pretty decent given the cost for an all inclusive. Location was nice, rooms were ok and facilities like the pools were basic, but acceptable.
Cons: Customer service was awful and they seemed to want to bleed you for things like tips, but the worst is when they charged us $80 per day extra since our reservation was mistakenly made for one instead of two, but their going rate that day for two people was only $30 more per day. They made no effort to try and make this right and even let us check in with our one person reservation before notifying us of the issue so that we couldn't modify our reservation before they stuck us with the fee. I felt it was shisty and they were holding us hostage. Scammers!

Pros: Sunset
Cons: Being nickle and dimed for everything. Eg not informing us it's $30 extra for an additional person also wifi is $16/day. I feel as though if I'm paying $200+ per night it would not only include wifi but assume a minimum of two persons. Front desk staff was extremely slow and seemed disengaged. Overall, not a four star resort like they are listed. Would definitely not recommend anyone spending their hard earned money at this place.
This Pedregal resort is on the beach, 1.5 mi (2.3 km) from Quivira Golf Club, and within 6 mi (10 km) of Marina Cabo San Lucas and The Arch. Lover's Beach and Land's End are also within 6 mi (10 km).

Pros: I stayed during Thanksgiving weekend. Happy that this hotel is one of the few four or five stars hotel that opened after Hurricane during Thanksgiving. Facial was great. They used very nice product on me. Wireless connection was fine. Because this is not a big hotel, and not having a lot of activities organized by the hotel, the wi fi becomes important.
Cons: I am disappointed as this hotel being rated at 4-5 stars in many web sites. The room is very small. There were swimming pools but they were so cold that noone wanted to go into them. And yet the weather was so hot. There were just not enough umbellas next to the swimming pools. One can easily get sun burn if you do not keep putting sunblocks every hour. It was not very fun when it was so hot when water in the pools were so cold. Restaurants service was very slow. We ordered breakfast room service one morning. It never came. For your reference, all of my ratings ( cleaniness, comfort, facilities, location etc) are rated against all other 4 or 5 stars all inclusive hotels i stayed in Caribean.

The resort was nice and the weather was great (low humidity). We actually upgraded to the VIP all inclusive package but it is not a true all inclusive. There are some restaurants you have to pay extra ($40 per person at steak restaurant and there are still items on the menu that an extra charge). To get a cabana on the beach was $40/day. We had fun but if you are expecting an all inclusive like the Yucatán you will be disappointed. You also can’t swim in the ocean. The waves are too rough. They won’t let you get close to the water. Very nice place and Hugo the activities guy was great. They just need to be more upfront with their marketing.
Nestled on the beach, this El Medano Ejidal resort is within 1 mi (2 km) of Medano Beach and Marina Cabo San Lucas. The Arch and Lover's Beach are also within 3 mi (5 km).

Pros: We loved the location and the scenery . Many opportunities to participate in activities of all sorts or simply relax. We also enjoyed the opportunity to utilize the sister resort next door. We have to give a shout out to Guadalupe at the grill. He seemed to be one of the few that genuinely cared and exceeded any other at the resort!!! We really missed him on his day off !
Cons: At the moment we checked in we were politely told that our package was not all inclusive. The booking website was misleading and we had to haggle and bargain to upgrade our package to an all inclusive for a mere $870 more (their discounted rate) This hotel took no ownership for the mislead advertisement. I had previously emailed the hotel to double check my reservations and accommodations with no clear response. Tips were pushed on us and sometimes not so politely requested. We spent more on tips than we would have on food. Overall only very few staff members willing to go above and beyond to make an exceptional experience that we had hoped for.

Pros: Good location on a swimmable beach with view of the arch. Close to downtown Cabo
Cons: The service is extremely slow. They have a bunch of customer unfriendly policies and rules. This is not a true all-inclusive resort. There is an option to go "all-inclusive" but you have to sign for the check whenever you consume food or beverage. Not everything is included in the all-inclusive (such as the kids club for example, or wifi in the rooms). There are not a ton of activities for kids compared to other comparable resorts. The rooms are old and tired. Food in the buffet is mediocre (quantity over quality). Overall, the staff didn't make us feel like they were there to please the guests, they are there because it's a job. Will not return.

Cons: They overbooked the hotel and tried to split us apart from the wedding party we were member of, they transferred us to the adjacent hotel and promised us the all inclusive package as a nice gesture. Next day management felt the deal was too good and rescinded the offer in the middle of dinner. I spoke with Hedoc and Iliana in management only to have defensive combative conversations. They denied they gave us the offer even when I had paperwork and wristbands. I have had bad service before, I have had management make mistakes before but I have never seen such an inhospitable management team treat guests in this manner. Own up to your mistakes, take responsibility and make it right. I hate writing bad reviews, and being a restaurant owner understand how painful they are to read, but this weekend was so painful for my fiancé and I we needed to alert other travelers.

Pros: Overall, it was a good stay.
Cons: The big problem I had in using Kayak is the third party company sent me an email itinerary showing May 21-28 but apparently sent the hotel dates of March 21-28. I didn't have a room when I got to Cabo so had to book a room elsewhere. I was supposed to check in on Sunday and it took until Monday for the hotel to let me know I had a room. I paid for 7 nights but only got 6, and was not refunded any monies for the 7th night.
Located in Cabo San Lucas, this beachfront resort is next to a golf course and within a 5-minute walk of Islands and Protected Areas of the Gulf of California, Medano Beach and San Lucas Bay. Marina Cabo San Lucas and Cabo Dolphins are also within 3 miles (5 km).

Pros: The staff at Riu Sante Fe was amazing and the property was very large with lots of space and swimming pools and restaurants. Overall the buffet food was good with lots of selection but the liquors are pretty standard, low quality with no selection of beer other than dos equis. Lots of bars and places to drink though
Cons: The food was mediocre, the buffet seemed to have the most selections and the dining restaurants were ok - steakhouse has a great view if you can get in early to see the sunset.

Pros: Overall it's a great resort. There was a variety of food and alcohol available all day. Lots of pools. Even though it seemed the resort was full there was always a place to go that was more or so private. Staff is welcoming and works hard to please. It's a large facility and unless you have a good excuse to leave into town you really don't need to. We rented a car and drove all over the place but we were always looking forward to coming home to our safe gated palace by the end of the day.
Cons: The frat boys and sorority girls running around inebriated adds to the entertainment but can get old. It doesn't last long though seeing as after about 20min of drinking they can't handle their liquor anymore and seem to disappear for the rest of the night.(maybe somewhere into the toilet). Overall no one bothered anyone and was always friendly. I never heard or saw any fights. In Mexico people seem to want a tip just for saying hello to you. So choose wisely don't be afraid to look cheap. Yea they're poor but so are you Wink wink. Blow and Mary J are abundant. Not in the resort itself but surrounding beaches. Up to you if that's good or bad. Tons of pos timeshare cockroaches. Stomp them out and kill them before they get to you. The resort will actually give you a lecture on how to avoid them, so listen closely.. Unless you like throwing your money away for the next 15-30years on something you prob will never use up to you. Overall nothing bad to say about the resort itself. It's guarded and gated and that is for a reason. Enjoy.
