Definitely an older rougher looking resort. Palapas on the beach like advertised are not here sadly. There coffee machine is broken so you can't get a latte, cappuccino etc which to me is unacceptable. I've never been to a Mexican resort without my speciality morning coffee that I enjoy sooo much! Only two restaurants but so far the food is satisfactory. Service seems ok so far.Front desk at check-in didn't even tell us anything about their restaurants location or how to book ..just put our wrist bands on and said bye lol The weather is beautiful,the ocean is beautiful minus hardly any shade to sit at the ocean...we will make the best of it but it's def not more than a 3 star and we aren't high maintenance people lol.

Everything here was great! The resort is pretty small and only offers 1 buffet and 1 a la carte restaurant but the food was great at both places. There were also plenty of bars and pools and activities for everyone to enjoy. Moises the activity coordinator did a great job making everyone feel included and excited to be here

We had a wonderful vacation. Carmen in the restaurant was fantastic, such a sweetheart . Alandra with the entertainment committee was super fun and enthusiastic. Fabian the bellboy was fabulous, we had mentioned what time we were leaving and his smiling face greeted us as the elevator opened to help us with our luggage. Definitely would return!

Ok, review time! I spent 9 days at this resort Sept 29- Oct 7, a very slow time for tourism, which is what my wife and I wanted for a quiet vacation. I'd read some poor reviews and worried a bit as this was our first time here. I can say that we both loved the place, from the day we got there and this improved over the time spent. Accommodations - The room was smaller but clean, king bed, great pillows. No desk and dresser as you usually find, which seemed odd, but enough drawers for our clothes and working at the coffee table and sofa with my laptop was actually pretty comfy. Room cleaned daily, extra coffee was left as per my note to housekeeping asking for extra. Water supplied daily in large bottles. The tap water is stated as "not potable" but I brushed my teeth with this water without issue. Shower was hot rather quickly. They do ask that you put toilet paper in the waste basket, probably not something tourists are used to. Not sure why. All rooms face the common area, overlooking garden, pools and as you get closer to the beach end you'd see some surf as well. No complaints here. Pools - Adult pool was closed for some of the stay due to low occupancy and staffing . 2 main pools were amazing, one opened at 8, the bigger at 9 due to maintenance and chlorination I presume. We mostly had the large pool to ourselves during the day, most other guests were locals and didn't seem to enjoy the full mid day sun, showing up later in the afternoon from 4:30 to dark. Pools were clean, swim up bar always stocked and friendly. Food. The food is served in the buffet or the pool side a la carte. Because of the low occupancy the buffet was closed for about half the time and at first I was a bit annoyed, as we really enjoy the buffet. HOWEVER, the a la carte, or now only dining area was amazing. Anything we would get in the buffet for breakfast or lunch could be ordered, or simply pick from the dozen or so items on the menus. We asked for custom meals for breakfast and it was always perfect. Dinner was a unique menu every evening we ate there, with 2 salad options, 2 soup, and 4 mains. The soups and salads were always unique offerings I'd never had and every option was perfect. The problem with the main course options was deciding which to choose! Of all the meals we had, the lowest rating I'd give a meal was a 8/10, the rest all being pretty much perfect. For several days they offered a taco bar further away from the pool, excellent tacos, but missing some pico de gallo. I mentioned this to Gilberto, the food and beverage manager, and poof, now we have pico do gallo. Gilberto was amazing, I know him from a different resort years ago and he remembered me. He was beyond helpful in assisting with any questions I had about food, the resort, and even offered to drive us to the airport if needed. I mentioned I found it odd that resorts here didn't offer bacon. You want bacon? Bam, we got bacon. When we did have access to the buffet, about 4 or 5 of the days, the food was equally amazing. Always several protein options, veg options and rice/potato choices. If I had to find fault with anything, perhaps the dessert offerings could be revamped, although I successfully did not gain weight on this trip lol. Overall I give the food service at this resort a 9.5/10. Gilberto runs a really great service. Staff - Most reviews will tell you about the one or two staff that were outstanding. We felt every single staff member was outgoing, helpful and friendly. Food servers, housekeeping, front desk, even the lifeguard didn't bust my butt for diving in the pool all day. Spanish is the native language and some were better with English than others, but I can speak enough Spanish that the interactions were all fun and both sides appreciated the efforts to speak the other language. We were taught some Spanish, we taught some English, lots of fun was had. Beach - The beach is about 5km or so long, give or take and very scenic for daily strolls along the surf. Beaches are kept clean as best as possible by the municipality. Water. Swim at your own risk. The flags up essentially say stay out of the water, but on calmer days, IF you are a strong confident swimmer, you can play in the waves and body surf, we had several days where we both enjoyed playing in the surf. BUT there were other days that we knew we'd die if we went in, so this is AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION. Strong swimmer, smart swimmer and aware of tidal patterns, this is not for families or kids to play in pretty much any time. Transport. Just a note for Westjet flyers, do not pay for private transfers, it's a PITA and we still had to hang out at the airport. Arranging a later pick up time was a hassle and turns out just taking a cab is cheaper. We were quoted $40US from our hotel to airport by a taxi we had used. Next trip we have him on Whatsapp and will just take a taxi. As a whole, this was an amazing peaceful time in Cabo at a nice little budget friendly resort. While "maybe" staying next door at the Hyatt is fancier, for the money, we can take a second trip for the year instead, which we're hoping to do again in April, returning back to this resort.

The pool area is great. The room was comfortable and cleaned every day. Something really important that would need improvement is the food. Vegetables and fruit were okay but main dishes were not good as expected. Drinks were cheap and also they need to serve better liquors. Since the price paid doesn't make sense.
