1) Poor customer service! The staff was not friendly at all; unless you greet them first, they don’t talk to you. Bartenders at the pool bar were not friendly either. Luckily, the hotel has Joel & the DJ. They made it fun by the pool.
2) The timeshare sales pressure is AWFUL! Sophia attacked us every time she saw us!!! We know she earns commission by selling, but she really needs to tone it down so people can enjoy their vacation. How sad is it that you have to avoid walking through the lobby and exit through the garage?!?!
3) The TV was broken for 2 days, we reported it & the handy man couldn’t fix it & came back 2 days later.
4) We had to shower with cold water a few times & the toilet was leaking the whole time so the floor was constantly wet by the toilet. Reported the issues to the front desk and not sure if the handyman attempted to fix the leak. Shower curtain needs to be longer; it barely touched the top of the bathtub. The shower curtain was sticking to our bodies while showering, very aggravating.
5) The refrigerator in the room doesn't work.
6) Both ice machines were broken on our floor, had to go to a different level to get ice.
7) Poor Wi-Fi in the main lobby and should be noted on the website “only available in the lobby, not in the rooms”! It is very inconvenient for the guests to have to go to the lobby every time when they need to go online.
8) No alarm clock in the room.

We own a timeshare at The Finisterra and really enjoyed having Joel as part of our experience. Stretching on the beach to trivia, they helped bring the guests together like never before! We love the quiet beach and the famiy like staff. We love it and love sharing this withour children and grandchildren.

The Let's Go To Paradise team recently returned from beautiful Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Our journey took us to the Hotel Finisterra. Finisterra, in Spanish, means 'End of land". Well, that is exactly where you will find the Hotel Finisterra. The first thing you will notice about the Hotel is the great location. The property sits at the very end of Baja California bordered by the Pacific Ocean and the Cabo San Lucas Marina. Hotel Finisterra is a great deal nestled between several high end hotels.

The Hotel has a main tower that faces the pool area, the beach, and the Pacific Ocean. There is an additional hilltop complex overlooking the Marina. That complex is currently being renovated.

Upon our arrival we were met by the "concierge". We were offered complimentary beverages while we checked in. The check in process was quick and easy although the Hotel could not find our reservation. This was not a problem. The friendly staff got us a room quickly and it was exactly what we had booked. We were then escorted to the concierge for further information about the hotel and Cabo San Lucas area. The concierge staff is very friendly and helpful. HOWEVER, they are most interested in selling you a time share. If you are not interested in a time share make it very clear as soon as possible. We had no further sales attempts for the duration of our stay.

Our room was clean and spacious. The curtains and bed cover are a bit outdated but in good shape. The refrigerator worked however it didn't keep things too cold. The shower had plenty of hot water and good pressure. The bed was comfy but certainly not a pillow top. The TV was technologically ancient but had many channels you would recognize from home. The room was plenty comfortable for the time we spent inside.

The pool area is very large and bordered the beach. There are three large pools of differing temperatures. The upper pool is very cold and probably not too comfortable this time of year. The middle pool is substantially warmer and has a swim up bar. The lower pool is a little cooler but comfortable. There are several jacuzzis in the pool area but not all are warm. Make sure you dip a toe before you hop in. There seem to be plenty of lounge chairs around the pool and down on the beach. The Hotel was building new palapas on the beach while we were there. There is also bar service on the beach. The Ocean is not safe to swim in. The riptide is very dangerous and the water is very deep just off the beach.

Adjacent to the middle pool is the Palapa Bar. They have seating under the largest palapa in Mexico or in the pool at the swim up bar. The food is tasty but they seem to run out of beverages often. The Hotel also has a hilltop restaurant overlooking the property and the Marina. The Blue Marlin is a full service restaurant serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. We enjoyed the selection and quality of food at the Blue Marlin. Breakfast has a full menu and large buffet available.

Location, location, location. There is no better location for a hotel in Cabo. The scenery is amazing, and the proximity to the Marina is perfect. If you are familiar with Cabo, the driveway to Hotel Finisterra is across the street from the dolphin aquarium. You can easily access the Marina and everything downtown with a short walk.

There is currently a lot of construction and renovation at the Hotel Finisterra. You hear the noise during the day, and starting early in the morning, but it isn't a distraction to your vacation. We really enjoyed the Hotel Finisterra and plan to return again very soon. It is a quick and inexpensive getaway from Southern California. We have stayed in Cabo for the price of similar trips to Palm Springs. The Mexican people are very friendly and make your vacation fun. Don't miss out on an opportunity to visit the Hotel Finisterra.
