I have to agree with many of the other postings here about several of the comments:
1. Location is great if you want to be at the marina and walking distance to the main dock, all over town, shopping, etc.
2. Hotel in general is tired and needs remodeling. Rooms have worn furniture, lots of wear and tear and the most uncomfortable beds ever! I did request a foam topper for my bed and one was provided - a huge improvement which made it tolerable.
3. All inclusive is a good deal if you plan to drink lots of alcoholic beverages and don't mind cafeteria quality food. Cost was $50. per person per day for adults and $25. for children. Even the "fine dining" restaurant was not fine and the service there was terrible. Reservations are required for the dinner restaurant which we had for 7:30 PM. Finally at 8:15, after much pleading, we were seated. It took until about 8:30 to get any service at all. Then they had run out of lobster - mind you they are open until 11:00 PM!
4. Although there is plenty of room around their pool for more lounge chairs, this hotel is too cheap to buy more. One must get out there and throw a towel on a chair to save it by no later than 8:00 AM or you're out of luck - ridiculous! As for the jacuzzi, one employee told me it hasn't worked in at least 6 years.
5. The entertainment is extremely amateurish - like some high school dance recitals and comedy routines. They do involve the audience in some of their skits and people seemd to enjoy that.
6. Pool activities consist of bracelet making, water aerobics, mini-putt contest and the daily "tequilla volleyball game".
7. We went over to the beach at Playa Medano where Tesoro shares a private area called Baja Cantina. They had plenty of lounge chairs there and did serve beer, margaritas and soft drinks which were part of the all-inclusive. Baja Cantina is next to a couple of other restaurant/bars on the beach such as Billigans, The Office and Mango Deck. Some fun and "suggestive" games were being played there like drinking contests, bikini contest, etc.



As for Cabo itself, we enjoyed a snorkel trip to Bahia Santa Maria on the Sun Rider which included the boat ride, open bar, snorkel equipment and a carne asada lunch for $45. per person. Also took a sunset cruise on the Jungle Cruise catamaran for $35. per person which turned out to be a booze fest with dirty dancing and body shots being performed on half naked, very young and very drunk women. Would not suggest this excursion for those looking for a nice cruise around the bay and we would not take it again. There is now a Jazz and Wine cruise that may be more suitable for some. Our favorite activity was the ATV ride over on the Pacific side dunes - very fun! Just be sure to take some clothes that you don't mind getting very dirty and I would suggest jeans and sneakers (vs. shorts and sandals) - you will get dirty!

All in all we had a good week because we kept the right attitude. However, we would not stay at this hotel again unless we knew for sure that the new management had made some significant changes.

Be advised that the sun is very strong in Cabo, being so close to the equator - lots of sunscreen necessary!
Many people would have a great time in Cabo especially those who like to fish, shop, have fun in the sun and PARTY!! Young adults will enjoy The Giggling Marlin and Squid Roe.

We just returned from six nights here. True! The beds are hard a plywood. The food in the buffet was average. The sit down restraunt was excellent. They charge $10.00 extra for coconut shrimp and $15.00 extra for steak and lobster. The shrimp are ten large shrimp. With the lobste you ger three medium tails. Dinner includes appetizers 3 choices, salads 3 choices and desert. Room were kept clean with a $2.00 a day tip. The room refridge was filled daily.
Would stay here again is i go back to Mexico. However I doubt we will return prices are horrible for food and the people are allways looking for ways to cheat americans. To be treated well gvoto Costa Rica the food is excellent and cheap and you won't find freindlier people.

I have never written a review for a hotel on here, but this place compelled me to do so.

Anyone who recommends this hotel is out of their mind. The beds are unbelievably hard. They told us they would have to move us the second day, and we had to pack our bags. So we packed all of our stuff up, and guess what? They said they would move us the next day, which they finally did. So basically, we had to repack twice while we were there. Our group had a backpack, two pairs of sunglasses, digital cameras, cell phones and cash all stolen while we were there. The scariest part - most of these items were taken out of a room in one incident WHILE MEMBERS OF OUR GROUP WERE IN IT SLEEPING! Yes, we had our share of cervezas that probably made us easy marks, but who doesn't in Cabo? I personally did not have anything stolen, but do you want to gamble with your personal items while in Mexico?

When we went to check out, one group had $200 in bogus phone charges, and in my room we had $50 dollars in bogus minibar charges which I gladly paid just to get out of there.

Cabo is a great place to go, don't ruin your trip by staying in a dump like this.

We were there in Nov of 2005 and needed a vacation in Feb and the Tesoro was the only place we could get to. (we fly stand by) I did not enjoy it at all in Nov, but in Feb it was pretty much go there or nowhere so we decided we didn't hate it enough not to go back. In Nov it was not a god experience b/c we had a very small room with no balcony and could not get a lock for the safe. We went down to the front desk many times and they kept saying check later, check later and I saw one on the desk and said "what about that one" and they reluctantly gave it to me. We went again in Feb and had a better time. Both times I thought the food was average, nothing fancy, but they changed it up every night and the sit down restaurant is good for a dinner or two. I'm not sure if the tipping thing has changed over the times we have done all-inclusive, but we felt the waiter was a bit pushy in suggesting a tip. I always thought all-inclusive was just that, tipping was optional and we did sometimes, but this guy was a bit out of line. Overall it is an okay hotel in a good location and they have a beach area that you can get to and it has drinks and snacks as part of the all-inclusive, the only annoying thing is all of the beach sales people there and the time share con people are bad in the hotel and the beach. Other than that if you are looking for an average, decent place to stay with a great location it is okay. I would stay somewhere else if I could next time, but it is okay as a backup.
