Overall, we had a wonderful time. I have to start by saying that we went there because my brother has a time share with Club Regina at the Westin Regina Hotel and offered it to us to use. Normally, we don't stay at such high end places. But we took this opportunity when it came. But I'm bringing this point up because although we stayed at the hotel for free, we really couldn't afford to eat there or use some of their special services. For example, even the breakfasts start at like $30. Massages were like $150. Things like that were just not in our budget. So if you're more of a budget traveler, the Westin Regina is not for you.

At the pool my traveling companions ordered 2 bottled waters. It cost $4.50 apiece! Yikes!

So what we did was go to the local supermarket (only 10 minutes away to the east) and bought breakfast foods, snacks, alcohol and bottled water. We also bought food for a meal or two (soup, spaghetti) that we prepared in our room. Saved us a lot. For other meals, we went into town (either Cabo) and ate there. Lots of great places at much more reasonable rates.

As for the rooms, ours were great! The one room had a king sized bed, large bathroom with a big shower, and there was also a jacuzzi. We ended up not using it because it was so hot out. The adjoining room had a sofa bed, but a comfortable one on a platform that pulls out. No bar to digs into your back. There was a bathroom with a shower, a nice balcony with a great view, and a kitchenette with everything. Everything was very clean.

We did have problem with the one toilet, but that can happen anywhere and maintenance came and fixed it.

The employees were all very friendly, especially the golf cart drivers and the desk help. The phone system was a bit irritating. There was Operator, Services, Concierge and a few other choice buttons, but it seemed like whatever one we dialed for a service, it was always the wrong one and we had to be transfered.

We do wish there was better notification of different events. We were going to sign up for their Monday night fiesta night, where there would be food and shows, at a discounted rate for Regina members. But when we went to sign up, we learned that the day was changed because of the Mexican holiday. That's fine, but we were given misinformation on our first day. We also heard about a different special night, but learned about it too late. The only info we had was a little insert in this huge packet we got.

Like everywhere else, the hotel does want its guests to get a club membership or to upgrade the one you already have. We decided to participate in the presentation spiel they give, and receive a free breakfast out of it. I can understand why the breakfast buffets are $30! It was the most phenomenal breakfast I've ever seen!

We did play tennis (brought rackets from home) and that was fun (and free). We were going to play their 9 hole putting green golf but ran out of time. (We spent most of our stay in town doing activities.) Maybe we're wrong, but my 2 companions and I ALL remember seeing a BIG sign for "free golf" at the putting green. (The sign was on the road in front of the parking lot.) But when we went to inquire about it, we were told there was a $5 charge. That's cheap and the money's not the issue. But that sign was obviously misleading. (Or all 3 of us mis-interpreted the sign? Which was in English!) We never did go back to read the sign to see if we or the hotel were right.

Travelers with mobility issues (wheelchairs, crutches, etc.): This hotel might be a problem because everything is spread out and there are lots of hills and stairs. Even the rooms we stayed in had stairs in the rooms. However, there are golf carts that will come to you 24 hours whenever you need a lift anywhere on the property. Just a note in general: Mexico in general is not handicapped-friendly. The sidewalks are bumpy and sometimes end abruptly, sometimes several feet off the pavement.

Travelers with kids: I have to ask why people bring kids to a 4 star resort. And if they choose to, why don't these people keep their kids under better control? Our week there was wonderful, but one day these 2 young kids were shrieking and yelling in the pool. Beautiful resort... overlooking the ocean... very quiet and serene, and the kids wouldn't stop shrieking, and the mother didn't care. Just seems rather rude to me. Nothing wrong with kids being there, but this is a high class resort and parents need to respect that. I'm sure problems can happen at any hotel, not just the Westin.

If you have any questions, let me know!

One of the Best investments I made last year was buying a share of the Club Regina, Los Cabos timeshares that I won on a bid at Bidshares. We had been to Los Cabos last October (2004) and fell in love with the overall charm and beauty of San Jose del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas, Los Cabos. We had been to the Club Regina to check it out so to speak and really liked the layout of the place but it wasnt until this July (2005) that we actually went there. Well it is definetly better than I can describe. The property is extremely well maintained, very clean and well secured. To get to the timeshares you have to go through a security area which we thought was a terrific idea in the times we are in. The room was better than we expected with a view of the Sea of Cortez that was breathtaking. It was cleaned for us everyday with clean linens and towels and anything we asked for was provided right away. Being a part of the Westin complex you have use of all of the Hotel's amenities including the pools. The pools throughout the complex were really nice and having access to exercise and spas were more than we expected. The towns of San Jose del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas are bonuses. They have their own unique charm and offer restaraunts, shopping, nightlife and overall excitement that is a welcomed diversion. I have included some photos that don't do the place justice. The only bad thing that we both agreed upon was the price of drinks and food at the Club and Hotel(Average drink $10 US, Average B'fast/Lunch $50 US). You can do better in the towns or buy for your rooms and cook in. Otherwise Its a extremely cool place to set down and vacation.
Oh yeah and catching a Marlin or two isn't a bad thing.
Can't wait to go back.

Just wanted to give you some words of wisdom on the Club/Grand Regina. We have been owners of a time share at the Club Regina for over 5 years and thoroughly love every visit there. It is the only place we have ever returned to on vacation.
We did upgrade our time share to the new Grand Regina on the promise that they would be available Winter of 2004, then Summer 2005 and now it is late 2007. If you are considering making this investment beware.
I have discussed this with there sales manager Lou and needless to say they are anything but understanding. All they can say is that we have been lied to with each sales person we have talked to and the intention has always been late 2007 which is a blatant lie. Also the fact that they have investors of $500,000 plus which are also waiting and don't have a problem with the delay has been rudely said to us. In the meantime they still give us access to Club Regina but do not offer anything to compensate us for the inconvenience of not having the new addition done.
Enjoy your visit to Cabo and if you are looking for great places to dine try Morgans or Damiana in SAn Jose and La Golondrina in Cabo!!!! Feel free to email me if you have any other questions about Cabo or San Jose!!

The Club Regina at Westin Los Cabos was a great hotel and the beautiful architecture is not matched in the area. This was our first time in Los Cabos. We Booked shuttle transportation from and to the airport ahead of time which proved to be a very smart move! It was convenient and only $26 per person both ways (much cheaper than a taxi). We didn't rent a car because we spent most of our time at the resort. The resort itself was gorgeous and kept very clean. It covers a lot of ground and is built into a mountain, so expect a lot of walking and climbing stairs. The bellboys are available 24/7 to take you to around the resort on golf carts. Our room was large and had an awesome view. The jacuzi tub overlooking the ocean was a great touch. The ocean was too rough to swim in, but great to look at. It didn't really matter that we couldn't go in because the 7 pools were perfect. There was plenty of chairs, music and servers. We usually swam in the adult pool because of the music and swim up bar. The drinks were average and about $8-10 each, but the food at La Playa (the restaurant by the pools) was great. The plate of nachos was only $10 and could easily be split for lunch. The food and drinks were expensive, but what do you expect at a five star resort? On Monday nights there is a Mexican Party Night with Mexican buffet, open bar, and festivities. It was $34 per person and well worth it. The cities are dirty and crowded, but worth seeing. There is a shuttle you can take through the hotel's Xplora activity agency to Cabo for $11 each way and to San Jose for $9. The Cabo shuttle drops you off at the Puerto Pariso Mall which was disappointing (over half of the stores were empty!). We also went horseback riding which was fun, but not worth the $100 that we paid to do it. We pre paid for a two hour ride on-line, but when we got there they said that they didn't have a guide to give us a two hour tour and that we could only ride for one. I loved the resort and would stay there again any time!
