I can't believe there are no reviews for this wonderful place! My husband and I spent our honeymoon at the Finesterra in December of 2000. Granted, that's a while ago, but the experience was so pleasant, it's still worth writing about. We absolutely loved it. The views of the ocean and the marina/town/mountains were beautiful and the resort itself is fantastic. It's built such that it blends with the earth and seems part of it. The staff were wonderful. The first night I was there I broke one of the straps on a dress (a result of too many dos equis in the hot tub that afternoon) and my husband took it to the front desk where a sweet girl sewed it up no problem. He gladly gave her $10 just for being so helpful and friendly, but it was totally his choice, she asked for nothing. We also had them do some laundry for us - not overpriced for the service - and our clothes smelled so good we've been trying to find something in the U.S. that smells like that for 3 years now with no luck. We still talk about how great our clothes smelled! Silly, I know but what the heck? They really did smell great :-)
The food at the resort was pretty good, but we ate out a lot because that's what we do when we go on vacation. Casa Rafael's is the best restaurant we've ever been to, not so much because of the food, which was great, but more so for the ambiance and the overall experience. Dinner for the two of us was about $100, but worth every single penny - and believe me, we are not rich by any stretch of the imagination, $100 bucks is A LOT of money for us to spend on dinner! But here's what we got for that... superb setting, dark, quiet, very romantic - excellent service with three wait staff people that served us and only us the entire time we were there. One person took our order and brought our drinks/food and made sure we had everything we needed, another kept the table clean literally using a little brush to wipe away any crumbs and such and another person dedicated soley to dessert. The food was very good and not limited to typical Mexican fare, the menu was international with something for everyone. I had quail - delicious. This really was a great experience because we felt like high society and it wasn't like it is in the states when you go to places like that where the staff is looking down their noses at you becuase they know you aren't high society. These people treated us like royalty.
Anyway - I highly reccomend both the Finesterra and Casa Rafael's. If you are looking for the best breakfast in Cabo, look no further than Captain Tony's on the Marina. Absolutely the best breakfast burritos in the world. They are huge and muy tasty.
We are going back to Cabo in two weeks, staying at the Playa Grande this time (same owner as Finesterra), hope our experience is as wonderful as it was the first time.
Most definitely reccomend the Finesterra.
Finesterra=Fantastic!
