My friend and I (we're both girls in our mid-late twenties) just got back from a 9 night stay at the Siesta Suites and had a wonderful experience. The hotel is very small and cute with a real Mexican feel. The staff was very nice, helpful and friendly. The rooms were very clean. We had a suite with kitchenette, so we went to the grocery store and got food for breakfast and stuff to make sandwiches to take to the beach. If you're expecting to be pampered and waited on hand and foot it might not be the place for you, but if you're looking for a nice, clean, safe place in the middle of everything this is the place for you. It is a decent walk to the beach, and a short walk to all the bars and restaurants in downtown Cabo, we didn't end up taking a cab anywhere. I do have to say the showers got cold pretty quick, this didn't bother my friend but it did bother me a little at first. I love long hot showers, but the Baja is having a water shortage so I got used to it and helped preserve water. It is definitely a walk to the beach, be prepared to walk 15-20 minutes. You can also take a water taxi, but we walked every day and it wasn't bad. The pool is very small, we never went in, we would have but no one else does and the restaurant is right there. Also they sell water in the lobby of the hotel, 2 gallon jugs for $2, and it's the same price as the grocery store so just buy it there instead of hauling water from the store!

It was also our first time to Cabo, we ended up loving it and would return, but I have to say it's very Americanized and can be very expensive. If you go to all the main tourist spots you're going to spend a lot of money. Drinks at the major clubs were $5-8, comparable to prices we pay here in Boston which suprised us. If you go off the beaten path a bit you can definitely find some deals though. The taco stand around the corner is great, I got 3 tacos for $4.50. There's fruit stands where you can get a large bag of fresh fruit for $4, and even get chili sauce and lime juice on it, delicious. Right up the street is Crazy Lobster where you can get a meal for $5-10, plus shots of Cuervo are only $0.70. If you want to splurge a bit I would highly recommend Salvatore's, the restaurant in the hotel courtyard. We were a little leary of going to an Italian restaurant while we were in Mexico (especially because we're from Boston and have the North End), but it was DELICIOUS. We ended up going there twice, and all the waiter's are great. As for clubs, Cabo Wabo is for the older crowd's playing older rock music, or you can go to Squid Roe or Zoo for a younger crowd and hip hop. We ended up going dancing every night and felt very safe walking home. The hotel even has a night doorman who lets you in, and will not let anyone not staying at the hotel in which made us feel very safe. There are lot's of people all around Cabo trying to sell you timeshares or activities and excursions, or selling items on the beach, they come up with all kinds of lines to get your attention, just get used to saying "No Gracias" and they will leave you alone. Also make sure to barter if you're buying anything, they'll always bring there prices down, and if they don't there's someone else right next to them that will.

I would definitely return and recommend this hotel to anyone!

had a great time at ss-have stayed in many 'five star' hotels and would return to ss over any of them-great location to all cabo has to offer, helpful staff, terriffic italian resturant (yes italian in mexico), 'gordos' taco stand around corner a must for lunch ( have him sing for you), 'ponchos' for dinner (get reservations), good walking shoes for 15-20 min hike to beach a must, a small grocery store one block away. mom and dad had a kitchenette and 5 kids got along fine with 2 beds and one on couch (cozy!). my wifes jewelry was ripped off at airport from her luggage, not expensive but sentimental-alaska air will replace-do not put anything valuable or semivaluable in checked luggage! 'deal and deal with street and beach vendors for good prices-they expect it- give good tips-take a good supply of american small denomination bills-let your credit card company know you are traveling in mexico so they dont question your charges while you are traveling and put a hold on card (yes it happens)--WILL STAY AT SS AGAIN< CANT WAIT!!

For those who want to stay right in the middle of everything and have cozy, clean accomodations then the Siesta Suites is for you. Now that I have been to Cabo, I noticed that many of the resorts are very much out of the way, meaning you'd probably have to take a shuttle or taxi to and from town (where everything happens!), such a waste of time! The Siesta Suites is about 2 blocks from the Marina, 2 blocks from Sammy Hagar's Cantina "Cabo Wabo" and nestled amongst countless restaurants and shops....it's just too convenient!

Upon our arrival we were pleasantly greeted, check in was very quick and efficient, and before we knew it we were changed & sitting out next to the pool by the bar/cantina. The staff were very friendly and helpful, especially when it came to booking different tours. This property is not a resort, and thank goodness for that. It has all the charm that you would expect for a Mexican Inn. Our room had a separate bedroom, a small eating area with kitchenette ( sink, full fridge and freezer, microwave, cutlery and minimal dishes...of which we hardly used), and a table to eat at. For us the place was perfect, we slept, got showered and dressed and were gone the whole day, only to come back again to start the same routine again.

This property has a an Italian Restaurant on site called "Salvatore's" that cannot be overlooked. There is a reason why the place is packed every night and the only way to get a table is to reserve in advance. Their specialty is Lasagna and I challenge anyone to say that they had better. The food is exceptional and the portions are massive and again, the staff, super friendly.

I haven't been home a week and already I miss the place! We were made to feel right at home, yes, almost like family. Definitely, definitely we will be back next year!

Hi,

we stayed at the siesta Suites for two days in january 2008. it was a marvelous stay. first thing i've got to say is that the staff, especially juan the manager are ABSOLUTELY HELPFUL!!! they are very nice people and will do their best to help you in any way.

My girlfriend got sick during our stay, and Juan actually called a doctor out to come and check on my girl while she was in bed. He even talked to the doctor to bring the price down because we were on a budget which was the reason for our stay there. It's a luxuriously little hotel, very cozy!!

The room is very clean, and very nicely decorated. price was very fair at 72 a night for 2 people which is very reasonable in CAbo.
Even after we left the hotel, we called juan for some info and he gladly helped us.

Hi juan if you are reading this!! I'm sure you remember us!! Alice says hi too :)
