Stayed at Marbella En La Playa in Ocober 2006. My wife and I enjoyed it very much. The hotel is one of the older suite hotels on the corridor, the rooms show some what of a dated style but are large and were very clean. The pool was nice and there are miles of beach to walk . As is true of many of the hotels along the corridor there is no swimming in the Sea or Cortez due to rip tides. Restaurant served some of the best meals we had in our over two weeks in the area and at a very good price. Staff was very freindly, went out of their way to be helpful. This is an older hotel with lots of steps to climb and no TVs in the rooms, but an economical base to see the area. Good points, free phone calls to US, free internet access, the food, the staff, the price. Minus points, the steps and due to taxi prices you just about have to have a rent a car.

The Marbella looks great from the outside but once you get in the rooms things go down hill from there. The rooms are bare and not clean We had ants crawling all over our bathroom.

Also, not a good location for someone with a mobility disablity. You have multiple stairs hall ways to navigate to get anywhere in the hotel.

Just returned from Los Cabos.

Stayed at Marbella El Tezal. My friend wasn't able to arrive until the day after I did so I hung out at the hotel and was able to view the many cleanings! The maids scrub the toilet, mop the floors, clean the shower, etc., beyond the usual, every day. Pool guy was very thorough with the cleaning of the pool. Even the outside walls are cleaned. Suite size was very nice. Perfect hotel to stay in if you are looking for an inexpensive place. The front desk is covered 24/7. Staff is very helpful.

Keep in mind that the hotel is 10 minutes from downtown Cabo San Lucas. Each taxi ride to and from Cabo was 10 to 12 bucks. We were told about the bus, but didn't see where to catch it. You cannot walk from the hotel to the beach unless you want to walk through an area with lots of vegetation or take a really, really long walk.

Also visited Marbella En La Playa. Really cool looking hotel. Also nice, but note that their beach is not for swimming. Waves are too rough.

Two suggestions for dinner. Margaritavilla on the marina and Mi Casa near the town square. Mi Casa is a must. Great food in a gorgous enviroment!

If you're looking for a very good, very clean bargain just outside of Cabo this is it! Large suite rooms, pool, and great rates. You're not in downtown Cabo and you'll need a rental car or have to take a taxi, but for those willing to do that this is very nice. Personable staff, kitchens, large, clean rooms. Fast wireless internet, phone service, I'll stay here again!
