I recently stayed at the Me Cabo for a girl's weekend. We are all in our 30's and were visiting Cabo for the first time. Everything about this vacation was perfect and the hotel far exceeded our expectations---it was clean, beautiful, perfect location, amazing spa, great staff, and definitely the party spot.

Some of the negative reviews stated that this was not a good place for families or honeymooners. I would have to agree, but it is great for a weekend with friends and groups of couples. The hotel is more relaxed during the week and the party picks up on the weekend. I didnt notice the music until the wee hours of the night but then again I probably wasn't back and sleeping while it was still playing. I found the hotel staff to be more than accomodating and very helpful. The hotel rooms were great and very clean. I was also suprised how good the food was and the prices were reasonable....but beware of the water at $7 a small bottle (at Passions). But there are stores near by that you can buy cheap water to keep in your room.

The location couldn't have been any better. Our rooms had amazing views or the water. We did take cabs (not easy to walk in heels) for no more than $2 per person but you really could easily walk to the Marina and downtown area.

This was just a great vacation. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone who wants to be in the "It" spot.

Me Cabo is the perfect hotel for people in their 20's and 30's.........It's fun and relaxing at the same time! There are no kids, or seniors, its just adults who like to have fun. There is great music by the pool, and a club on the weekends. The food is great, the rooms are nice and clean, and the view from the room is amazing! If you are bothered by a little noise, don't go there! Me is also in a great location, next to good food, and activities...........I've been twice now, and would recommend for sure!

Overall a great place for younger people and couples. We stayed in mid June and the hotel didn't seem very busy. The location was perfect. Your view of the ocean is excellent. I did notice a light thumping from the music but not enough to interupt my sleep. I thought the staff was nice and the place smelled great. I thought the location was perfect, about a 15 min walk into town.

The only negative I could say would be the erroneous charge on the credit card. It took some patience dealing with the limited english speaking customer service rep but eventually it was cleared up.

I have stayed at ME Cabo/Melia San Lucas 8 times since 2001. Starting way back when it was the great Mexican hotel that did not realize how cool it was. There was a time when I would consider no other hotel when going to cabo. These days I enjoy the hotel somewhat from Sunday-Wednesday, start disliking it more on Thursdays and hate it Friday and Saturday. Some people say it has a "frat boy" pool atmosphere. I would say the weekend is more like international swingers with a heavy dose of Orange County coke/meth partying.

Around the hotel you see the slogan "anything is possible". We amuse ourselves by adding things like "but nothing is probable" or "but not at this hotel". In a given week I will have probably 10 interactions that make me want to spit because of the inherent mexican hotel staff "say no first" mentality. Little things like not being able to get a pool bed because they are all reserved, or not being able to get late check-out or early check in. Not being able to get a king size bed for my wife and I after reserving one. And unless you own a time-share, don't you dare try to bring a case of beer up to your room. Outside food and beer not allowed, even though your room may have cost you $400+ per night. They seem to not understand that branding means following through, not just telling people what they want to hear. And it's not like I don't know how to spend money or tip. I don't care what something costs me, I just want value for my money. I find myself continually reminding the staff that "anything is possible" after they have rejected some small request of mine. They just smile politely. It's not their fault, they simply aren't empowered to make it happen for you.
The real estate Melia sits on must be experienced to be understood. The layout is real easy and comfortable with no long walks required. The pool bar is probably one of the single best places in the world. But it's time for me to look for other options or stop going to Cabo.

If you're looking for any amount of luxury, don't look at ME Cabo. The website is one lie after another. It is obvious when you walk in the lobby that this is far from a luxury resort. This is a frat party for 23 year olds and nothing more. I would not eat at the restaraunts, did not enjoy the pool and hated the staff.
The reviews that complain about the noise are completely accurate - SLEEP IS AN IMPOSSIBILITY. We opted to stay on our friends sofa bed 4 nights in a row rather than sleep in our small bed at the hotel. And good luck complaining about the noise, the staff is nowhere near receptive.

We knew we were in trouble when we arrived in our room to find intimacy kits and kama sutra cards for sale along with the lame mini bar selections in our room. Our room did not have one drawer or shelf to unpack our bags into and we had a short in the light in our shower.

If you are 23, looking for an all night jam session and willing to compromise quality in all aspects of your stay - check out ME Cabo. Otherwise, you might want to check out one of the mainstream hotels like Hilton, Westin, etc.
