If you're going to be in Cabo San Lucas, then this is the location of all locations. You are sitting right in front of (the swimmable) Medano Beach. You are a short walk away from the nightlife, the harbor and Puerto Paraiso Mall. Plus, there are plenty of nearby dining options: Mango Deck, The Office, and Gardenia.

The resort is very new, but by this point they've worked out most of the kinks. Aside from fixtures being attached crooked, everything else was in tip-top shape. We stayed in a deluxe room (on the west side away from ME Cabo), which was surprisingly very large. The two LCD TVs were a nice touch. The AC ran super cold and relatively quiet. The rooms were very clean. The bed was comfortable. The water pressure was great (although it ran murky at times). The view from our room was spectacular! We could hear/see the fireworks, but none of the partying at ME. My only one complaint is that there aren't screens to the deck and we inadvertantly let in a mosquito or two (resulting in a couple of bites). Next time, I'll just know better not to leave the deck door open.

The front desk staff, concierges and bell hops are all extremely friendly. Our bell hop Juan was particularly helpful in pointing us to the right activities and giving us a heads up on which tours to avoid.

While the concierges here are also their front line for timeshare sales, they aren't very pushy. In fact, one polite 'no, thank you' was all it took. We didn't get any follow-up phone calls, nor were we ever asked again. :)

If you're a pool person or someone who likes to lay out in the sun, then you are going to have a great time at Casa Dorada. The pool is set to a perfect temperature and looks out to the open sea. There are plenty of available mini-cabanas and lounge chairs surrounding the pool. Best of all, there's a swim-up bar/restaurant.

We dined at the Maydan restaurant on their property twice. It isn't anything to write home about. It wasn't bad, it wasn't good. For lunch time Mexican food, try Gardenia down the street. If you're by Tesoro, swing on over to the Crazy Lobster for some very inexpensive (yet, tasty) seafood.

In conclusion, Casa Dorada is a great resort/hotel to stay at. However, as another reviewer pointed out... there are much better places to vacation than Cabo San Lucas. The prices are what you'd expect to pay in the United States. The exchange rate is horrible (10:1). Airfare to Mexico is expensive. Comparable food can be found in America. It's not particularly scenic or culturally stimulating. As for the nightlife, unless you recently turned 18, watered down drinks and sexual position contests just don't cut it.

  • Liked — The well-designed room with spectacular views of the pool and ocean.
  • Disliked — The murky water that comes out when you first turn on the faucet.

My mother and I just returned from Cabos and our stay was outstanding! The Casa Dorado is fabulous! We stayed in room 207 and the view of the pool and ocean was breathtaking. The staff was very friendly, and accomodated all of our needs. They were helpful with directions, restaurants, linens, etc. We had a fantastic vacation, and I would stay there again and again. I can't say enough about how nice the resort was, and the only complaint I have are the time share pitches! They are everywhere and we couln't even check in our room without the interruption of a pitch! The airport, the restaurants, walking down the beaches,... they are everywhere! The vacation was great and we will return!

7/7 found this review helpful

This resort is exactly as the reviews depict. It is very nice and new. There are some issues with some of the services, but overall, the staff and resort are worth the money. We stayed for 7 nights (Jun 27-Jul4). Whole family went along, wife and 3 kids. We had a 2 bedroom suite in the main building. We learned that aall 2 bedroom units are in the main building, which is too bad. TThe noise is excessive at times within the building. The last night we were there, they had a very good 80's band come and play. The problem is that they played in the main building and every room there was exposed to the loud music. We went to our room at 11 to put the kids to bed, but the music was so loud in our room that we could not hear each other speak. The band played until 1 am and the kids were up the entire time.

The kids enjoyed the resort and pools and my 5 year old really enjoyed the kids club. There are not a lot of activities for the kids.

Overall, the resort is better suited for couples or groups of adults. We used the gym and it is very nice, but small. The spa is extremely over priced, as we went to another 5 star property for massages at half of the price.

  • Liked — New resort, great veiw and great location to town
  • Disliked — Still some kinks to work out. Not family friendly

We purchased a vacation ownership when we first visited Cabo. It is beautiful. Can't wait to go back. We have it for 2 weeks a year. Everyday I dream of Casa Dorada.

3/4 found this review helpful

We decided to visit this new establishment. We went on their time share tour, which they promised us a gift, if we met all their criteria. We met all their criteria, yet they then they said we would not get our gift. They also try to sell a special floating use timeshare which is a major rip off. This deal is a five year, two week per year use. They say, if space is available and you book well in advance. My brother purchased this deal and booked well over 6 months in advance, but was not able to get the week he wanted. Since you can not get the weeks you want, how can you use the two weeks. It is my understanding that this is not tradeable either- beware of this establishment!!
