You can get great prices on rooms via your traditional hotel/flight websites. I can tell you we paid 59 for the junior suite and 109 for the master suite. A total of 11 of us went just this past week 23-27 August (6 adults, 5 kids). The rooms were much nicer than expected, along with the hotel itself. The rooms have microwaves, sink, table, plates, forks, spoons, cofee maker, iron... The hotel is by the beach and has a volleyball court, nice pool, internet access, unlimited national (US) calls from the telephone room, and a nice entertainment room with games and a big screen. The food is good, not expensive and the drinks are good as well. I tried the chicken breast, chicken fingers, and nachos while we were there and didnt get sick. The prices range from 5-8 bucks on the plates mentioned above and lobster is around 28 bucks (which I didnt try). Note that this hotel is not a party hotel. If you are looking to party go to downtown cabo. This hotel is very quiet, nice to relax. We were the only ones at the beach and pool our first and second day. There was a couple of people on the third day. Another thing I liked was the air conditioning units at the hotel. Every room (we got 3) had very powerful samsung air conditioning units.. The telephone room had a unit, the computer room had a unit, everywhere you go its cold. The computer room has about 6 computers with internet, and there are 2 printers to use free of charge. The unlimited US calls was also a plus. I was calling everyone and their momma while I was there. When I read the reviews and saw the negatives, I didnt want to stay here. I took the risk and it was well worth it. So you wont be surprised, I will outline a couple of things you must know. LOTS OF STAIRS !!! Be ready to walk at this hotel, as there is no elevator. There is approximately three/four floors at the hotel, so bring your running shoes. If its wet, be careful not to fall because the floor is very slippery if it rains. My mom fell once but didnt hurt herself. We did see a couple of dead roaches in the walkways but they were more like water bugs and didnt bother us. Another thing we saw was a mouse having a great time running around the hallways.... I mention this not to scare you away, again this hotel is excellent, but its something you might want to know. Its next to an empty lot and a private home so its expected to have some wildlife running around. There are no TVs in the rooms. There are no phones in the rooms.


Would I stay again at Marbella if I was at Cabo ? YES
Would I recommend it to a friend ? YES, with the disclaimers above.

I stayed at the Marbella back in June. I was lured by the great price. Let me tell you, you get what you pay for. First of all, there are no elevators. The closer you are to the beach and pool area, the more steps you have to climb. So from my room to the front desk you have to climb a total of 110 steps. Second, there are no televisions or telephones in the room. So, if you need anything, you have to climb 110 steps to get it. Third, their webpage does not tell you that the beach is unswimmable because of the huge rocks that stick out of the water. Yeah, it has one of the more beautiful beaches in Cabo, but what’s the point if you can’t swim in it. There is only one palapa on the beach and no waiter service. If you want/need anything, you have to get up from the beach to get it yourself. There is not much of pool environment either so you can’t really hang out with your friends as there aren’t enough chairs to go around the pool area and if you manage to do so, someone is constantly walking over you. The rooms aren’t much to brag about either. The paint in the bathroom was peeling off and they barely give you any towels and the lock on the sliding glass door was broker - literally screws on the floor. They have no activities to offer their guests at all. The staff was very nice but I found the management to be extremely rude to the staff and I don’t like witnessing that sort of thing. Do yourself a favor, spend the extra money and stay in much better place. I wish I had.

After staying at Dreams for 7 days. This was a welcome place. Spacious, clean, friendly, quiet. I was quite worried about staying there after the reviews. We booked on priceline for 1 night, our hotel and plane could not be co-ordinated. We had 2 children with us. When we got in the room, could not beleive the pool was right outside our door.
The kids and husband both asked if we could come back for a week next time. It was a very welcoming 1 night after the noise and chaos of the big all inclusive resort. The staff are very friendly.
LOVED IT!!!

No, it is not the Sheraton or the Hilton, but Marbella Suites on the Tourist Corridor is the perfect hideaway from the college parties and Spring Break crowds. 2 miles from the center of town, Marbella is a quiet, immaculate all-suites establishment with views of the ocean, a great poolside atmosphere, and staff who bent over backwards to take care of everything (even in the midst of last-minute internet booking snafus!). If you are looking for a place where the fun of Cabo is within reach, but not in-your-face, this is the place for you.

I do recommend reserving a rent-a-wreck in advance as taxi costs can add up over time, but if you work with the staff, they do have a periodic shuttle service to town and even the grocery store. There is not a restaurant or bar per se on site, but through early afternoon there is a chef who will prepare meals to serve poolside or in your room (no additional charge for delivery!). You do have a kitchenette available, so there is no need for a cooler with frequent ice runs - food drink storage is not a problem!

The front desk is readily available for tour and activity bookings. Housekeeping is very friendly and efficient, and amenable to additional requests such as extra blankets. Be sure to bring your own hair dryer.
