This was our first time staying in San Jose Del Cabo. We loved the location of this resort, felt safe walking to the La Comer down the road and the 2 mile walk into the art district/town square. We walked into the town square twice during our stay & ended up staying until dark & never felt unsafe walking back. We had the premium upgrade, our room was labeled as beach view and it was a great location as it was on the end cap of the Estrella building facing the ocean. The premium upgrade was worth it in our opinion for the room location and the separate bartender at the premium pool. The main pools bar consistently had a line of people waiting for drinks, i dont think there were a lot of waiters coming around to peoples chairs to take drink orders. Also, taking food back to your lounger from the buffet was not allowed but with that said, that pool buffet food was pretty awful. We didnt have any issues reserving a spot in the specialty restaurants. The sushi restaurant was awful, dont bother. Great view from bar above but dont waste your reservation eating at sushi. Really enjoyed our food from the mexican specialty, go for the steak! Not great service at either. Breakfast buffet was consistently good, take the time and wait for the hot stations! Breaking larger bills was nearly impossible. We've gone to Los Cabos twice a year for the past 3 years, weve stayed at a few different all inclusive resorts, Barcelo was fine but we would not stay again or recommend to others.
