My girlfriend and I stayed in Tesoro Dec 19-24, and we had the time of our life! Our room had a king size bed, a large sitting area, a private staircase, and a balcony over looking the marina. We had an amazing view of the sunrise every morning. If you get the chance be sure to ask for room #537 as it is probably the best room in the whole hotel. The hotel is located right in town so it was only a 5 minute stumble from the bars (Cabo Wabo & El Squid Roe) at night. We had No complaints of anything the whole time we were there. The staff was awesome. We met some great people while visiting the resort and overall, we had an amazing time! I'd recommend this resort to Everyone considering going to Mexico. We plan on returning there someday (hopefully sooner than later)!

My wife and I spent our honeymoon at the Costa Real the week of Nov 13. Our travel agent arranged with the hotel a honeymoon special surprise for us. We went to check the Sunday we came in about our special surprise with the front lobby and they said to come back the next day to check.
We got a excellent room with a good view of downtown Cabo San Lucas. The room service was excellent except the 2nd day when our breakfast never arrived. However, we brought this to the front lobby's attention and it was fine the rest of our stay.
We didn't receive our surprise yet our 2nd day and checked with our tour guide who offered to check with the hotel on that day.
On the next day after still not getting our suprise gift, the tour guide referred us to the manager. The manager claimed that the lobby or hotel personnel have been telling us the past few days to have our bags ready to be picked up to be moved to a honeymoon suite with a cake and champagne. Since we had all our things already settled in our room, they could not do it.

The manager lied, we were never notified about getting ready to move. So, she(the manager) said it was too late to give us this package since somebody else is occupying the suite. I did tell her nobody told us about it, but she kept sticking to her story. The only thing that she arranged is to have champagne sent to our suite, but there were no apologies.

This is why we would never come back to this hotel and would not recommend it. Everything else was great but for the manager to get on the defensive to a customer on something that was the hotel's fault is suffice to not come back and would not recommend to anybody this hotel.

We have just returned from a great one week trip to Cabo San Lucas.
First of all, I would like to highly recommend the Manta Scuba Diving shop which is located right near Medano Beach. Eran and his crew were fabulous!! Good, safe, clean equipment coupled with very knowledgable and personable staff made our diving excursions the highlight of our trip.
Additionally, we went with Pisces for our fishing. There were four of us sharing the boat and we landed three stripped marlin and one 150lbs sailfish. Everything was included in the price - coffee and rolls at the dock, lunch, bait.....Well worth the price.
Dinner at Lorenzillos is a must. The food and service were perfect. There is no need to say more.
The hotel that we stayed at was selected solely on location as we were not interetsed in taking cabs or buses every day from the corridor. The Costa Real is located right on the marina and it lives up to everything they say about location - you can crawl home from every major venue in the city. The two major problems that we had with this hotel were the service and the food. We ended up eating out quite a bit because the only edible meal turned out to be breakfast in the one buffet restaurant this hotel offers. There is one a la carte restaurant - Maria's - however, the menu is very, very limited and there is an upcharge for steak, coconut shrimp and lobster. The mini bar was replenished daily with pop and water but only 3 days out of the 7 that we were there, did we receive more beer in our fridge. The rest of the time we had to take the elevator to the lobby bar if we wanted to sit in our room and have a drink. Although this may not seem like a big deal, there are two elevators for the entire hotel. so there was always a wait.
The swimming pool is located on the 2nd floor right beside the buffet restaurant. There is only one pool - it is not heated - and one hot tub - it was broken and had been for two weeks when we got there - and there are too few chairs for the number of guests at the hotel.
And if you don't tip the waiters around the pool and in the buffet restaurant, be prepared to be snubbed the next time you show your face. Although we had tipped at each meal and each time we sat at the bar prior to and afterwards, we were outright ignored by not just one, but several waiters as we did not tip one of them earlier that day for bringing us our drinks.
We became so frustrated with the poor service that on our third day there, we attempted to get transferred to another hotel however, by the time our travel rep responded to our request, there were only two nights left of a seven night stay.
I don't recommend this hotel and I will forgo "location, location, location!!!" for comfort and service from this day forward.

This resort was advertized as 4 star, but we didn't think that it really lived up to that. What it does have is a really great location, especially if you want to shop, hang out at the marina, and go to night clubs. Most rooms have marina views, and the view is fantastic! Be sure to get up early enough to see the sun rise at least once. The colors are wonderful, but they only last for a short while.
The water taxi service to the public beach is good, but the beach vendors are a pain, and they just keep on coming. A polite no gracias will send them on their way, but there is a constant stream of them. I was surprised that they were allowed into the area roped off for our hotel. Also watch out for time share people who act like they are working for the hotel.
The water taxi to lovers beach and lands end is well worth it. Divorce beach on the Pacific side is amazing, and the taxi will take you on a little tour of lands end. Be prepared to tip the guys on the beach to help you get off and on the boat. Older or heavy people may find getting in and out of the boat a challange, at the beach. Be sure to bring something to eat and drink with you because there are few vendors. We sepnt a few hours there, and wish we had gone back again.
The hotel itself is kind of mixed. The pool is small and plain, and the hot tub is a bit of a joke. The first room we had was a bit smaller than we were used to, but it was nicely renovated. We stayed there for the first few days, until water started dripping out of a ceiling light fixture. They switched us to another room, which was a hassle because we did the packing, and although they said they would move our bags, they took so long, we ended up doing it ourselves. Then we discovered that they moved us to an un renovated room. This room was smelly and old. We expected an upgrade as it was not our fault that our room was leaking water! We settled for another renovated room that was almost as nice as our original room, but not after a couple of hours of complaining, packing , waiting, moving and more moving. Who needs this when you are on vacation?
We only ate at the hotel. They charge extra for shrimp and lobster at the a la carte resturant, and the buffet is limited. On day 5 I got sick, but my wife was fine. I think it was fruit or salad that I ate in the buffet.
Keeping in mind that this was the most economical tropical vacation we had ever taken, then it was not too bad, but we would probably go to a different resort next time.
