Palmilla Hotel Guide - Beach Hotels in Palmilla, San José del Cabo

"The room was great, no issues. The staff was great. We did not get a welcome packet, but later found out we would have received one when we spoke with the timeshare selling people. We declined at the start of our vacation. You can not swim at the beach in front of the hotel due to the strong undercurrent. The food at the buffet was ok. The steak house food was amazing, very good. The 2 shows were entertaining and fun. Loved the location of the Hotel, very close to the Marina. Very safe area. We would recmmend to stay. We will return. "

"This property is starting to become dated. The noise levels are untolerable. Drunk people screaming at all hours. Although they say the Santa Fe is for the parties the people at this resort were very disrespectful. When I would advise the staff at the RIU they said there was nothing they could do. The food wasn’t too bad at all. "

"Massage was amazing. Room overlooked ocean. Staff is so friendly!"

"Room is pretty clean, staff are nice but it’s a bit noice living close by the beachside . "

"First off two things. If you are coming to Pacifica make some dinner reservations prior to coming you'll be thankful. Remember this is a desert location and the hotel is designed to blend into the desert. It's not a lush paradise. Go to Cancun for that. This was our 7th stay at Pacifica and we are already planning our next trip back. Yes its pricy but we take advantage of that. Nowhere else can you choose from 8+ restaurants, across 4 properties, to eat at and enjoy. The food is excellent and in good sizes so you don't overeat, unless you order more. Our favorite is always Pescados. Having a special breakfast at Cebollas is wonderful. Everyday breakfast in Siempre with fresh made omelets and other buffet food. Sundays they have extra options. Pool service is great. Remember to pay attention to the pools. Closer to the ocean, quiet, the other noisy. You can't go wrong at any of the restaurants and the poolside menu is also great. We don't do a lot of activities but most extra curriculars will pick you up at the lobby and the shuttle from the Sunset, up the hill from Pacifica, is a easy way to town. We saw multiple pods of whales in February and the waves were calm this time, but you still can't go in. Take a hike to the lighthouse, observatory, or the Mission to walk off the calories. Lastly the golf course is amazing."

"I was expecting more for the price. Other than the scenic views of Cabo from the top of the resort. nothing about our stay was very memorable. Definitely won’t be booking sandos again unless there is a steal of a deal on. We had an ocean view room but the noise from what I’m assuming was the buildings AC or power generator was so loud we couldn’t use our balcony. I was excited to have fresh seafood in Cabos but the seafood here was barely edible. I also don’t recommend this place if you are gluten free. Each time we ate the hostess would ask my allergies, then I’d have to explain again to the servers. His happened every time we ate. Not sure why the hostess would ask but not relay it to the servers or chef. At every other resort I’ve stayed at, once the staff know I’m gluten free, I don’t have to explain it again and they offer me gluten free options at each meal without me having to ask. This place made no such effort. It was disappointing. "

"The staff was amazing and friendly. The food was great."

"This property is an older one that needs some updating. Stayed for 10 days but found that it was very noisy due to the hall walls echoed and could hear major door slamming and loud conversation all the time. Walls between your bedrooms are very thin and you could hear everything. It’s very hard to get a some sleep in this type of condition. Tried to move or upgrade, but they wouldn’t help me, and it was just the two of us. This resort is very family friendly with many children and babies. So expect the noise and no peace if it’s only two of you. Unless you have children then it’s all good. The food was very fair and the drinks were very weak. Weather in March was fabulous "
