This hotel property is near-luxury and very large, but still offers premium service and amenities. We enjoyed having access to 4 pools and 3 restaurants on-site. Gorgeous ocean views from every part of the property. No swimming at the beach due to dangerous waves and riptide. There are two small grocery stores on-site that we found to be very convenient. We also enjoyed a free shuttle service that provides access to other Hotel properties, including Medano Beach for those that want a change of pace, to swim in the the ocean or access to town. Staff is friendly and responsive. The clientele definitely skews older, there's not much "action" at the pools. Overall, we recommend this property for those looking for a top-notch, full-scale resort experience.

An unbiased review of this resort and I want it understood that although I have mostly great things to say about this resort I do have some negative things to say as well. I will start with the great things, we actually chose to stay up high in the newer buildings everyone has there own preference on why and where they stay and I like to be as high as I can be and really once you got use to everything it was fine. The condo was beautiful the maid service was exceptional we were treated very well by the guest service department and I was very happy with that. It was a little pretentious as far as decor but it was quite beautiful and there is great history. It all depends on what is important to you on vacation. The only pools we used were the main pool and the sky pool personally I preferred the sky pool the view was amazing and there was a great breeze up there on most days. The service at either pool was fantastic, Carlos was an exceptional employee and we wanted for nothing!
I want people who read this to understand I am a bit crazy about bugs and I know that they can slip into rooms even though resorts spray but the first condo we were to stay in had a very large roach on the paper towel and I almost had a heart attack! That was the start of our trip and it was raining outside I called down from the condo to the front desk and spoke with Erika. She was extremely rude and I was very upset. I was not happy with the way she handled this and even the golf cart driver was way more sympathetic to me freaking out than Erika. I ended up moving to another condo and NEVER saw another bug and please don't misunderstand and think this was due to filth there are bugs in Mexico I just couldn't live with any in my room and I didn't have to. Our condo had a full kitchen, large living room, beautiful spacious terrace two full baths with marble showers and a large master bedroom with a king size bed. It was large, and had plenty of room for all of your clothes etc. It was like new and we loved it. Ok now some advice unless you really like fancy restaurants with 5 course meals avoid La Frieda it is VERY EXPENSIVE and it takes you several hours to eat, everything is ala carte and although the food was very good I felt it was a bit much for my taste. Food around the pools was very good I especially loved the grilled chicken taco salad. Went to one buffet presentation beautiful food mediocre. I was disappointed to find that if you are not an owner they charge you $15.00 a day to use the fitness center and I felt that was ridiculous. I also recommend you not assume coffee, water popcorn or anything else is compliments of the resort they all have a price tag so be careful. I felt the prices on the food in the Deli were very fair for the convenience and they have just about anything you want. If you are going into town and shopping at Wal-Mart you are going to end up leaving more than you will ever eat. I should have just bought a couple cases of water, liquor some crackers etc. and opted out on buying too much food we never ate anyway. I would recommend this resort to people who are looking for a more quite resort there really are not any planned events like a Sandals resort and for younger people who like to party you will probably stick out like a sore thumb. The shuttle to Pueblo Bonito Rose was nice to take advantage of to get to town for free but it limits you to a schedule and you can walk into the marina it isn't too far but if you are all cleaned up and it is hot by the time you get there you will be miserable. No air conditioning in restaurants on the Marina so if there isn't a breeze it is very hot! This is not a cheap vacation, plan on taxi's and tipping I found out later I tipped too much. I don't really understand the cab system but I tipped everytime and too much a couple bucks is fine. Find out the price of your trip before you get in the cab. If you meet people like we did at the resort it is great to share the cost of taxi's into town and then they take you right where you want to go. Shopping was not a treat for me, I should have bought stuff with beach vendors even if I paid a little more the shops were hot and they all had the same stuff. Although I really loved this trip and met some of the greatest people I still like Puerta Vallarta better. I was very disappointed with Cabo itself it was not as beautiful as other Mexico cities. The water was beautiful it just wasn't what I expected.

This was the best hotel/resort I have ever stayed in! Every need was met before I could even ask for it. Everything was very clean, comfortable, and beautiful. I can't wait to go back!

We stay here quite often. The reason is simple: Every room offers a breathtaking ocean view! And I'm pretty sure every room has a balcony. At least, we've always had one. The only drawback to this hotel is that it's on the Pacific side of the town, and unless you take the hotel's free shuttle to it's sister hotels in town, which currently runs about every two hours, or have a rental car, you're stuck with a few taxi rides, which can add up quickly. But then, one person's drawback is another person's plus. If you want to party in town until the bar's close, then this resort isn't for you. We like the fact it's a ways from town, yet close enough. We take the free shuttle, which works out fine, then will rent a car for a day and go to the places we like to avoid costly tours. The quality of the hotel is outstanding. We were somewhat concerned that there might be some slight damage to the hotel from a recent hurricane that passed by, but are happy to report we found no damage. Instead, the resort is well maintained and manicured. The service people are friendly, and the golf-cart drivers are always within 2-3 minutes away. There's free access to wireless internet from the pool areas and lobby. The restaurants are good, but slightly pricey. The Bistro may be the best value, but La Nao (at the base of the hill just above the beach) offers good food, especially the breakfast buffet...when in season. Some of the rooms have kitchens. We had one this time, and my wife enjoys cooking in the room and us eating on the balcony. Can't beat the view! And as much as we like the ocean view, we like the view and layout of the Spanish-Mediterranean style resort itself, which is situated on a hillside. The architecture is beautiful. I don't think you can go wrong here. Unfortunately, they still haven't started work on the golf course that's been advertised since the hotel opened. Still, we have never had a bad experience here.
