We have just returned from a week at the Misiones Beach Resort. I guess this is not the high season, so the number of guests were sparse. The view from this place is spectacular. The suite was large, clean and comfortable. Most important of all, the AC was powerful and cool. Unfortunately, that is about all that is good. There are just too many little thing wrong with this place that I doubt I would come back. These are the kind of things that a well run hotel would never let happened. Let me tell you and you can decide. First, I found that all the appliances were unplugged, TV, microwave, lamps etc. so I had to crawl around to plug everything in. The cable to the TV was broken, so I had to reroute the one connected to the VCR to the TV. Then I found out the microwave is broken, told the front desk. After a day, i asked the front desk again and they told me they can't get into the room because they gave us both keys to the room. Umm... Hotel only have 2 keys to the room? no master key? Anyway, I quit bugging them about it and they ignored it, so it was never repaired. Midway during our stay, the water pipe broke somewhere in the complex, so no water. The front desk guy went into town to buy duct tape to fix it. The construction is still going on. If you don't mind an occasion pounding during the day, then it is OK.

Here is a tip: The shuttle into town only runs until 6:30 PM, but you can take the bus back for 8 pesos per person and you just have to tell the bus driver to stop in front of the Misiones sign. Tho there is still a walk down to the hotel, but it is all downhill and a nice view of the stars.

Another tip: There is a restaurant at the point called Sunset Da Mona Lisa. One of the most gorgeous setting for a restaurant is just down the street from Misiones. Make reservation.

Twelve of us ( extended family, three rooms ) descended on the Misiones resort for the week of July 7-14. I think my family had the best room...the newer remodeled rooms facing the town of Cabo had a cool design. My wife and I had a separate bedroom with a large pocket opening which could be closed for privacy from the living room...which had a "Murphy Bed" for my daughter and my son found the couch comfy for his bed. The balcony overlooking the beach, a desert area, the town of Cabo and a view of the famous "El Arco" rock formation was absolutely spectacular! I spent some wonderful morning's out there w/ my cup of coffee or in the evening w/ my cuban cigar just taking in the views. ( I'm also glad i brought my little binoculars! )
The place was nowhere near capacity which meant there was never any congestion at the front desk, pool. etc. Speaking of pools, both are very nice..not huge but just right...plenty of lounge chairs, swim up bars.....I liked the infiniti pool on our side w/ the aforementioned awsome view of Cabo. The only bummer was that the hot tub was not working.
The maid service was a little chintzy with distributing enough soap, towels, kleenex, etc. WE had to make special requests to get everything we needed.
Construction was going on during the day, but other than one morning when I was awaken a little early by some hammering, it never bothered me at all.
There is a little protected beach area on one side side which is nice for swimming and snorkling ( i found this snorkling better than the "Bucanneer Queen" snorkling trip we went on! ) But even here the waves can kind of roll in so I would be carefull letting small children roam unsupervised. It might have been just this week but the surf was extremly rough. The beach on the other side was definitely not for swimming, although the local surfers were enjoying the big waves. I brought my surfcasting rod with me and managed to catch a few fish around the hotel but there were tons of snags w/ all the rocks...frustrating.
We did spent lots of pesos taking cabs in and out of town! The hotel has a shuttle which is nice but it doesn't run at night ( dinner! ) and is not always running when you need it...plus you have to sign up for it in advance at the desk or it will fill up. It's only about a three mile walk into town if you have the time...but it's some "hilly" hiking which can really take it out of you on a hot day! Apparently it never, ever rains this time of year which is nice.
We ate in town every night I think and were never dissapointed!
A great road trip i recommend is the trek up the coast to Todo Santos. A realy neat little town...has a huge artsy community...it's also the home of the famous Hotel California
( Eagles song ), and the bar across the street makes the best margarita I've ever tasted!
On the way is another little roadside attraction called Art & Beer...hard to describe....it's a liitle cafe/art gallery in the middle of the desert owned by Jerry Garcia's cousin!
Sorry about this way to lengthy review but in summary, the Misiones Hotel and Cabo in general was great by us!........Craig....... Burke, VA

We just returned from 7 days at Misiones del Cabo, which was perfect for our family. We stayed in a privately owned, 2 bedroom unit, which we found advertised on the internet. The unit was nicely furnished with a great ocean view and a very large balcony. There is a private beach that our kids enjoyed and it was safe for swimming with no salespeople bugging us. Both pools were enjoyable, one has a jacuzzi and the one by our condo had just been renovated and looked brand new. The only mistake we made was not renting a car from the beginning. Taxis are expensive, about $15 to town. We cooked some of our meals in the condo to save money and ate a few meals in town. Since we didn't have a car we spent most of the days laying by the pool or playing in the ocean. The kids had a good time, which was the most important part.

I had misgivings, but the hotel was the location of a "destination wedding" and so, with caution in our sails, we approached the site carefully. Check-in was slow, but, hey, this is Mexico. The room (a two bedroom on the second floor) was nice, with very firm orthopedic mattresses. The view, incredible. Staff friendly. Yes, there was consruction, but only in the daytime. Night time was quite. But, overlooking the pool, I can imagine it being noisy if there is late nite partying. But this is off season, so not do bad.

We were careful not to leave valuables about, so nothing was taken, nor was there any evidence that out belongings had been "examined." But I make it a habit to leave little in the rooms anyway. Room safes would be a nice additon.

Many have referred to this place as a hotel. What it really is, like so many others here in Cabo, is a time share. So, it caters to those who "own" or "trade" their units. This facility, connected to Interval International, is no 5* resort. But its location, views and price made it reasonable for the few short days we spent there.
