Reviews

This was our second trip to CSL, and our first staying in the timeshare that we purchased last winter at the Playa Grande Resort.

Best Things Nearby:
Cabo San Lucas and Marina.

Best Things About the Resort:
Very clean, elegant, and lovely. View of the Pacific is spectacular.

Resort Experience:
This is a lovely resort, within a few minutes' walk of downtown Cabo. However, it's basically a private beach, so none of the locals come up to the resort to hastle you to buy things. It's a wonderful place to relax and lay in the sun. Weather (during the second week in January) was in the mid 70s all week, with only one day of high haze. Other than that, it was very sunny!

This is an excellent little restaurant about a block and a half up from the Marina. It is called Mama's Royal Cafe in the morning, and Felix's in the evening. Both breakfast and dinner menu is extensive and food is excellent.

Pisces Fleet

Activity

This is an incredible experience. Something about bobbing around out on the Pacific in January in shorts and swimsuits that is unbeatable. We fished with the Adriana from the Pisces fleet, and were thoroughly delighted with the crew. They were very helpful, spoke very passable English, and were a lot of fun!
