"Great"

"We went only to the adult pool. Got good service but when getting a drink, it was like asking a robot. He did it but I dont like an eye roll"

"Everything was excellent"

"I loved Cabo."

"Lovely pools accommodating staff "

"Location great in the marina area in Cabo. Rooms very outdated, tons of little flies in the rooms. Probably one of the dirtiest properties I've stayed at in Cabo, been visiting for 10 years now. Pool area was dirty, rooms never fully cleaned and the kids pool was gross. Also, in the kids area the "family bathroom" the workers use, so every time when taking my toddler to the bathroom a worker would come out and it was always dirty. Better properties in this area to stay at. "

"Pool is very clean and cozy. "

"TL;DR: Chill, low-energy resort with good food but notable issues. Only one main pool (second is paid “Reserve”). Nights are quiet—most guests are in by 10:30. Activities fill quickly, so arrive early or risk being turned away. Resort even ran out of tequila one day. Biggest concern: money was stolen from our room by staff, and management was dismissive and failed to honor compensation. Highlights: Beautiful, well-maintained lobby and beach area. Great daytime activities (tequila/wine tastings, water aerobics, bocce). Food overall was strong—Santé was the standout, plus great guac, snacks, and pool burritos. Fire dance show was a highlight. Lowlights: Wi-Fi is weak, TVs outdated. Room had multiple maintenance issues (loose shower fixture, temp fluctuations, cracked mirror) and got uncomfortably hot at night. Bed was lumpy. Constant water noise in room. Room service was poor (cold, bland, low quality), though the club sandwich was decent. Several restaurants underwhelmed—especially Mexican and Italian—while Asian and buffet were average. Pool bar understaffed but manageable. Sky Bar was essentially non-operational when we visited. Other concerns: Limited sustainability efforts and questionable animal welfare on the beach. Major issue: Money was stolen from our room by staff. Management was dismissive, offered a credit, then refused to honor it—leaving a very negative final impression."

"I was so looking forward to the food. Don’t get me wrong the resort is aesthetic and you’ll get the vibe you see in the pictures and the staff is really nice but the amenities are scarce, pools are small and food is TERRIBLE at all the restaurants. I would 100% not come back or recommend the resort especially for the price like I would other places I’ve stayed at in Cabo. "
