I stayed at the Siesta Suites for a full week in July. It was a spur-of-the-moment solo trip to do a little diving and catch a little sun. This was my 5th trip to Cabo in the past 8 years, and previously I've stayed at various hotels/resorts on Medano beach. I hated having to take a shuttle or a taxi into town and the Marina, so this time I decided to try and find something right in town. (The Marina was my second choice as it can be pretty noisy there at night.)

After stumbling across Siesta Suites in a web search, I came here and read the reviews. Well, my experience backs up the other positive comments here. Let's see: spotlessly clean, good-sized rooms, air conditioning that works, fully functional kitchenette, super friendly staff, within tripping distance of numerous great restaurants (including the one attached to the hotel), a 10-minute walk from a fair-sized supermarket, a 5-minute walk from the Marina. Yes, it's a longish walk or a short cab ride to Medano beach, but if shopping, diving, fishing or other non-beach activities are your thing, then being in the centre of town has its advantages.

Almost without exception the other hotel guests were friendly, and I found myself in daily conversations with people around the pool, on the balconies in front of the suites and in the "internet" room adjacent to the lobby.

This hotel will appeal more to a more seasoned traveler that appreciates that the "resort" experience can quite often be horrible: a small room in a garishly styled hotel crammed with surly guests who become "holiday alcoholics" and turn into stereotypical Ugly Americans when the all-you-can-eat buffet runs out of shrimp.

However, if you're the kind of person that's OK with being situated next door to a church that has noisy services every other day, would rather experience a different small restaurant every night, and enjoys a quiet room and a small pool where you can relax, read and write, you can't do much better than this hotel.

Even at double the rates they are currently charging, I'd stay at this hotel again in a heartbeat. (NOTE TO HOTEL OWNERS: Please don't raise the rates; I'm sure I'm an anomaly in this regard <g>) The bottom line: If you're considering a trip to Cabo and want to get a little closer to the pulse of the city and the culture of Mexico, you don't mind saving a little money and actually WANT to explore further than the all-inclusive hotel bar and bland food troughs, this is a perfect place to call home.

We stayed there for 5 nights in July 2007. The hotel in overall was much better than what we had expected. Rooms were clean and unique in style and big with kichinette and a separate living room. A/C worked very well. Hotel is situated in the perfect location .close to everything. 5-10min.walk to marina and block away from many good restaurants. The best was the Italian restaurant placed inside the hotel. Food is amazing with huge portions and a reasonable price. staffs wery very friendly and nice. The owner of the hotel was very kind and helpful and all the hotel staffs were very nice. We had the best experience ever in our vacations with this hotel. It is just fabulous!!
Will definitely go back there again next time we visit cabo!!

We were scheduled to arrive in Cabo one day before our timeshare week began. So, we needed a place to stay the first night. I searched Expedia and found Siesta Suites with several glowing reviews. They will now have one more!

When we arrived, out bags were immediately taken upstairs and we followed. Only to find that we were staying in the bungalow on the roof of the facility. What a wonderful surprise! A full kitchen with separate reading area and bedroom. A huge patio and the best veiw in downtown Cabo. Only one city block from Cabo Wabo. We absolutely enjoyed our stay, including the wake-up call from the local rooster. Very cool.

Lastly, after we left, we began asking the locals about the best Italian resteraunts in the area. We had three people recommend Salvadores, the resteraunt attached to the hotel. So, three days later, we were back enjoying the best Italian food in the city. Large portions and very reasonably priced. Don't miss it!

And don't miss the Siesta Suites experience. Tip: Ask for the bungalow.

We arrived at Siesta Suites and it was exactly as I had pictured it. The room was perfect, we had a full kitchen which we didn’t use except for the refrigerator to keep our cerveza’s and water cold. There was a separate bedroom with a small double size bed. In the bedroom there was a small TV and small closet with extra pillow and blanket. The main living area had a couch like thing that could be used as a bed for an extra person. I had read some reviews about the water pressure being bad but our water pressure was great! In fact each room has it own water tank so we never ran out of hot water. If you wish to have daily maid service its $2 a day. We were rarely in the room so we didn’t need service for the 3 nights we were there but we left a nice tip upon departure. They have internet access in the lobby if needed. They also have a cooler with a small selection of drinks. We bought a couple gallons of water here for $2 each. They have a microwave and fresh coffee in the lobby area too.
The location was perfect about 1 - 2 blocks from the marina in the heart of downtown with great restaurant all around. The small dipping pool is more for looks, I never saw anyone use it while we were there, but I did see the staff cleaning it. There were a couple lounge chairs by the pool if you want to catch some sun.
Salvatore’s restaurant in Siesta Suites is a FABULOUS place, defiantly do not miss this restaurant if you are in Cabo. We ate there twice and had drinks there almost every day even after we moved to our other hotel. We got to know the staff and Tim the owner very well, in fact we all went out one night after the restaurant closed. I highly recommend the lasagna and the Caesar salad, that antipasta was very good too! The lasagna was huge about 5 inches thick, the two of us shared it and still didn’t finish, and the Caesar was a whole head of roman. In my opinion this is the best Italian restaurant in Cabo with a great atmosphere.
