You can't beat the Mar de Cortez for the money. Yes it's an old hotel but they keep it up pretty well. Just don't expect any luxury amenities. But you will feel you stepped back in time. The pool is great and you can even spot some Geckos on the walls. The restaurant in the hotel (Baja Peppers) is outstanding... More

We have stayed here at least once a year since 1995. The front desk staff,Ana, is wonderful. The rooms are clean and quiet. We can and have walked to anyplace we want to. A pleasant 10 minute walk to the beach. We could stay anywhere.... we choose the Mar de Cortez!!!!

Visited Cabo March 2013 (from Canada) and stayed at the Mar de Cortez for 2 weeks. The room was a good size and was clean, mostly quiet and excellent value. The hotel is an older hotel but has been renovated and maintained well and the food in the Peppers restaurant is both excellent and reasonable. We were really pleased with... More

The breakdown according to us: Room - Clean, modest, very comfy mattresses, lots of hot water. No clock, tv, hairdryer, etc so bring your own if required. Pool - Nice pool, clean and well kept as the rest... More

My friend book this hotel because the hotel pictures (exterior pictures) looked nice and for some reason it was rated 3 stars in some websites. When we got our room, we find out the hotel rooms don't have tv for over 40 years. We don't have an iron board or iron, not a blow dryer, etc. The pillows were yellow... More

I regularly stay at Mar de Cortez, it's clean, reasonable, all the staff are wonderful. Spring break is a very busy and rowdy time in Cabo, the hotel hires extra security for their guests, only hotel guests are allowed in. I would recommend this hotel to anyone who doesn't require feather pillows, fluffy mattresses and TV's in their rooms. It... More

Just stayed our first night and we were roused by raucous partiers at 6:00 am this morning still drunk from yesterday. The sign says "family place" but what we saw yesterday by the pool was anything but. The same group sharing a bottle of tequila ( no glasses), trash everywhere, very loud and obnoxious. Also, the advertised free breakfast is... More

Thank you for your comments, and please know we regret your disappointment . Unfortunately, Holy Week/Easter Vacation/Spring Break can be a very busy celebratory time for the tourist destinations in Mexico and some parts of the U.S. Traveling at that time of year can therefore be problematic for many, and especially hotel management. Extra security, management and operational procedures for... More
