Exceptional service but lacking activities and evening entertainment.

ryanmD9408XD (Winnipeg, Canada) on Feb 28, 2026

This resort had a compliment of attentive cleanliness, impeccable service and high quality of food but was counterbalanced by a lack of organized activities, no evening entertainment and a deep pool. The staff work very hard to give you an enjoyable experience from the front of the house staff and concierge to the pool serving staff and cooks. One thing I will warn you about is as soon as you arrive every member of the sales staff, who also give you a run down of the resort and it's amenities, will force feed you the value of a "free" breakfast and a "short" sales presentation at the sister resort. (They will claim it is 1 .5 hours long but it's more like 5). They will offer you tours and excursions at a steep discount but only if you commit to their sales pitch. They will say there is "NO" pressure. That is a LIE. After the breakfast they will push you hard to buy with an immediate down payment and monthly commitment for 15 years. My advice, no discount is worth that experience. End of rant. Pros Friendly and attentive staff from the top down. Pool drink service stands out. They were prompt in restocking the water in the bar fridge and maid service was solid. There is also 2 stove top elements and various appliances for cooking and making coffee. The Palapa restarant offers an excellent hot buffet breakfast and a la carte lunch until around 4 pm. It does not serve dinner. There are 5 a la carte restaurants minutes from the resort that are included in the all inclusive package (we opted for it and it was WORTH IT! There are certain high end menu items not included in the AI but it didn't affect our experience. We preferred the Presto Italian, Baja Lobster, and Los Deseos (open for breakfast at 7 am). The food at Legends was the weakest. Mainly burgers and fried food. Location of the resort is outstanding! Right in the heart of Cabo San Lucas and along the marina which is very convenient for tours. We did a whale watching tour and took out two young kids on the pirate ship sunset tour (our toddler loved it!) There is a shuttle service to the sister resort the "Hacienda Encantada" every two hours. It is sprawling and boasts 3 pools, with an infinity pool looking out over the ocean, pickle ball, tennis courts, a pool side flame fired pizza cafe, and sushi. You can whale watch from a variety of elevated sites throughout the property. Worth checking out. Los Riscos restarant is pricey but commands beautiful views looking out over the Sea of Cortez. Cons As stated above there is no evening entertainment, little activities during the day and the pool is 6 feet deep in most places which makes walking across impossible. Many people complained. Having the AI plan we were still forced to sign checks for everything we ordered which was a little annoying. I tipped sparingly as I wasn't certain if gratuities were included in our plan. Beds are also quite firm and we have difficulty getting comfortable. Overall it was a pleasant experience and we would recommend it. Just stay away for the sales presentation and plan on finding your entertainment off resort.

Exceeded expectations - would come again

bstott308113 (Scottsdale, Arizona) on Feb 27, 2026

The resort was fairly modern and well kept, with all expected facilities. Its location was excellent for access to the marina walkway and surrounding places. We had a very good large ground floor Grand Luxe Suite with extremely comfortable beds. It was not noisy - in any case at night the powerful A/C provided white noise. We were not able to adjust its temperature, but the cold was good for sleeping. We did not get the all-inclusive package, and enjoyed trying the many restaurants very close by, some of which have discounts for hotel guests. The hotel staff were friendly and efficient. This was an excellent choice of hotel for we first-time Cabo visitors.

Paid to be on the Maria and got reservation sold

Sawyer D on Feb 27, 2026

Didn’t let us know in advance that they overbooked and sold our reservation to a different Hotel. We’re even on the Marina and views were very poor. Very upset, with the situation and wish we would have been able to stay at Marina Fiesta where we booked and paid for..

Great Service and Food

Tara M on Feb 26, 2026

It’s has been an amazing trip and I’ve been to Cabo 5 times at different resorts. This is a favourite. Great staff and quiet, fun atmosphere. Jorge is a fantastic waiter as well as Rebecca. Most of the staff are really great. You won’t go hungry because the food is fantastic. Favourite is definitely Jacks and the Italian. The oyster bar didn’t have the best service but the food was good. I will be back!
