Went down for a short 4 day trip (11-26 to 11-29) non inclusive. Felt like we had the hotel to ourselves. We stayed in the newer part of the hotel, the Palapa Beach Club rooms. The rooms are nice and good sized with bed and a seating area. We spent most our room time on the private balcony. Mini-bar prices are very reasonable and we took advantage of that, and were glad that they keep them well stocked. The view is amazing. Stayed on the 6th floor and overlooked the pools then the ocean. Whale Watcher bar (we actually did see grey whales pass by while at this bar) is great for food and/or drinks. Blue Marlin is very nice too for a fancier meal. The pool bar is good and they serve food. Also has a large HD tv for the sports fan. Staff was friendly and helpful. We left tips for the maid service and tried to tip well throughout the resort - and the service was very good for us. You'll see many rude people treating the staff poorly and it makes you want to let them know that not all americans are estúpido. We heard a lady complining because she was told initially how much something cost in pesos and not USD. The hotel is located at the top of a hill so you'll have to walk up and down it a few times. It’s not too bad but there is also a free hotel shuttle for the hill if you want to skip the walk. It is also on about a mile unpopulated beach (no swim beach here) which makes for a great, private, early morning walk It is very close to town with a short walk to the marina and several shops, bars, restaurants. When walking around the marina and around town, be prepared for people approaching you to sell you things. This will happen constantly while you are in town, even while you are sitting in a bar or restaurant. We got used to it pretty quick. Beer and Cubans are reasonably priced in town so we brought some back to the hotel.
A couple things, a hotel is in the early stages of construction directly next door. It is noisy during the day but we got used to it and didn’t bother us too much. Also, the walls are a little thin and could hear the neighbors at times.
Tips:
For $30 total we went on a 45 min tour on a water taxi. Very nice, and it was just us and the knowledgeable boat captain. I highly suggest doing this. If you go down to the marina, the water taxis are everywhere.
Ate at CaboWabo one night just because of the notoriety. Food was good but over priced and probably wouldn’t go back. Limited menu and my burrito was $34. I would stick with the lesser knowns, the food was excellent everywhere.
Bottom line: I would stay at this hotel again.

Overall we had an incredible time in Cabo, and I will go back! Everyday I was in awe that it was November. Perfect weather and warm water. It really is a great vacation destination. I'll just stay somewhere else next time. The Finisterra is in a great location. You are in walking distance of the downtown and the marina, but you're not on the loud super touristy beach. The grounds and pools are beautiful. The room and service is another story.
I read many reviews before going, and it seemed most people said if you stayed in the new building, the Beach club, then it was great. New is a relative term. The old side is >30 years old, so the newer side is younger than that but how new? Including tax and tip, I think we paid about $260/night. For that, I would have expected fitted sheets on the beds, and maybe some conditioner provided. Nope. On the beds, they tried to spread a flat sheet to reach around the mattress but it didn't quite make it. The comforters look old, and they're far from fluffy. In the bathroom, there was shampoo and soap, but that was it as far as toiletries. I am convinced the towels must have been brought down from the old section. There were holes in them, and they were hard and small. After using them, housekeeping would take them away, but wouldn't replace them with fresh ones. We daily had to call to get towels.
Then one day we had 1/2 the items missing from the mini-bar. At first the desk staff didn't want to believe us, but after a few discussions, we weren't charged for any of the missing items (mainly tequila). The unsettling part though is that who ever took that stuff, was also in our room!! Fortunately, each room does have a safe though.
On a lighter note, the pools are great. Super clean and beautiful. Happy hour means they bring you two drinks for ever one drink you order. Staff was friendly. You did have to sign out for towels at the pool which I thought was a little tacky. I'm used to hotels where they see you walk up and meet you at your lounge chair with a towel, but here they do it the old school way.
In summary.......there are sooo many new and upcoming resorts in Cabo. No need to stay at this one. There is nothing new about it, it is just newer than it used to be.

Stayed at the Finisterra Nov 15-19. Overall, there are many good points about this hotel. I prefer this beach to the corridor, which I have stayed at before. There are no vendors or restaurants on this beach; there are no jet skis zooming around the water. There are 3 large pools with ample seating and they are well taken care of.
However, there are a few things which could be improved. There is nothing exciting about the rooms. The decor in these rooms is nothing special: tile floors, multi-colored bed spreads, small shower.

There were particular issues with the service however. At the pool bars, the waiters will each have their own tab, at least that's what they said. I would have to close out 3 tabs each time I left. Of course, one time I could not find everyone, and I received a call that I had one bill remaining. When I signed my bill, I noticed that a special tequila and grand marnier were on the bill, and I had not ordered those drinks. Ultimately, they realized it was the wrong room, but their system of memorizing faces, and having separate bills for poolside, barside, and at the restaurant was obviously not effective. Finally, when checking out, while carefully reviewing the numerous charges, by chance, I found that they had charged me 88 pesos for a tip on an 80 peso bill. Actually, I had written 8 pesos as the tip, and I wrote in 88 as the total. However they billed me an extra 88 as the tip. The woman at the checkout counter did not seem very apologetic, and had I not had the actual receipt, which I almost never keep, she would have made me jump through several hoops to get a refund. I was not impressed with their customer service. Overall, they have a bad system of keeping tracks of customer bills, and we would have paid several extra dollars had I not been unusually attentive.

I loved it here! OMG, my girlfriends and I had an AMAZING time! We were just a couple of chicks that needed to have a summer to remember and they made it happen!
Just to set things aside, STAY AT THE NEW FINISTERRA SECTION! We also had ocean view!
The older section is more in an inclined hill, that when youre tired of a LONG hard night, you may not want to climb, but other than that i had a WONDERFUL time! I stayed there for a total of 8 days...and i dont regret it! THey were a little strict at night if you tried bringing a few friends back into the hotel....but other than that it was ok. I guess it was for security purposes. We only at there once at the whale something restaurant, but man it isnt even worth it. The homemade mexican food on the CLEA N streets were a WHOLE lot better. Dont bother going to Romeo & Juliettes Italian place, my 7 year old sister can cook way better. GO TO MARGARITAVILLE!!!!! This mini mexican outdoor restaurant right in front of Cabo Wabo was one the GREATEST and CHEAPEST places to eat! We took some taxis for the long stretch walks, but not all of the time. Only when it was too late at night and we were out of it!
I can go on and on and on..........
