Just returned from 5nts at the Finisterra Hotel. First time in Cabo, but certainly won't be my last. Enjoyed the Finisterra, stayed in the newer section, the Palapa Beach Club. Rooms were clean, comfortable, great views of the ocean and the pool. Great pool by the way! The hotel is located near the marina and on the Pacific side. Staff was very helpful and friendly. We experienced absolutely no problems while there. We walked down to the marina (5mins) to the beach (25mins), and into town (10mins) daily. Since we were in the newer section it is a bit shorter walk down to the street, however, the older section does have an elevator which brings you down to the lobby level.
After seeing just about every hotel in Cabo, I would definitely choose to stay at the Finisterra when I return.

My wife and I went down for our 7th wedding anniversary Jan. 13th through the 17th and absolutely loved the hotel. It is totally true that a hotel can make or break the experience. We saw whales everyday, relaxed by the pool, and went out at night. Town is an easy walk away- nevermind the out of shape Americans who complain about the minor hill- and the beach is perfect and deserted. The staff was courteous and helpful and the hotel itself is beautiful. We stayed in the Palapas Beach section and thought that everyroom had a good view. I turned to my wife on a daily basis and said, "Did I tell you that I love this place?" If you want to stay somewhere that has a quiet beach, lovely pools, and is right downtown where all the shopping and nightlife is, then this is your 4 1/2 star hotel. Enjoy-- we sure did!

This was our first trip to Cabo. I took my two young children and had a BLAST! The Hotel was wonderful. We stayed on the "old" side and didn't mind at all. The view of the Marina was fun and we watched the Pirate ship sail in and out every day. (We rode it also). The walk up and down the hill to town was not as bad as we had anticipated, but going from our room to the restaurants, etc did get a little monotinous. The pool area is absolutely amazing and we were never bored. Loved the cooking class we attended on our last day. Everyone was nice and friendly and helpful. One of the maids even managed to find my battery charger I had left in the room upon checkout. She retrieved and returned it just in time for our ride to the airport. The worst part about this whole trip was that we didn't stay long enough. (Only 4 days). I would highly recommend this hotel and plan to stay longer the next time.

My husband and I traveled to Cabo in early January 2005 for my husband's 50th Birthday. We stayed at the Hotel Finisterra for the first time and loved everything about the Hotel. The staff were very friendly and helpful, the food was excellent, the location was the best! You are only a short walk to the Marina and town. I would agree with other reviewers to stay in the newer Palapa section as the views of the Pacific Ocean are amazing. We saw whales every day of our stay right from our room patio. The pools were wonderful. The Hotel even gave my husband a nice bottle of wine on them for his birthday. There were no extra charges on my bill. It was perfect. There is a wonderful Taco stand in downtown cabo that is right in front of the Cabo Wabo Cantina. I can't remember the name but you can get four tacos (beef, chicken, pork or fish) and a beer for $4.00 us. Great deal!! Really good tacos. We also ate at the Cabo Wabo Cantina. It was also excellent as was Felix's. I plan to go back to Cabo soon and bring my four children. We'll be staying at the Finisterra!
