My wife and I came to Los Cabos for a mini-vacation to celebrate our 35th anniversary. Flying down on United Points and staying at the Hilton on Points, it was a marvelous vacation. And our intended exit day was August 31, JUST AHEAD OF HURRICANE JOHN!!!!

But during the short 4-night stay, we discovered a wonderful beach resort that ranks as one of the best we've ever stayed at, and certainly one of the top Hilton locations ever!

This was the resort's slow season, as evidenced by the dark rooms we saw looking up at the resort from the pool. It appeared to be only about 1/2 to 2/3 full. And that probably explained why the staff upgraded my free room to a junior suite because it was our anniversary. They also sent a bottle of champagne, a fruit plate, and a cheese plate.

Our room, #6021, was on the top floor in the middle of the resort, facing the pool and the beach. Frankly, I don't think there's a bad room in the entire resort, but I did notice that the lower rooms (below the 4th floor) had palm trees obstructing their view. So ask for a room on the 5th or 6th floor.

The infinity pool was a wonder. Not only did the water appear to merge with the sky, but hanging out at the edge facing the beach was an all-day entertainment treat!

The Hacienda restaurant (on the second level) serves a nice buffet or menu breakfast, a better lunch, and a sumptuous Mexican dinner.

Fenicia (on the first level) is the fancy restaurant, and although we didn't eat there, the dinner menu looked inviting.

The lobby bar (lobby level - third level) has a terrific happy hour with free, yummy hors d'oeuvres and featured drinks. And if you're outside, they don't mind if you crank up a Cuban stogie (available at the hotel's shop and at the lobby bar).

The staff throughout the hotel is friendly, well-spoken in English, and extremely willing to please.

And it should be noted that while many of the Cabo area resorts ignored the coming hurricane (and did not inform the guests of the impending danger), the Hilton made a point to let every guest know the hurricane was on its way and helped guests make arrangements to get out safely. They actually told everybody to leave!

Great Place. We're going back!

We were delighted to be greeted with a tasty frozen margarita after a hot shuttle ride from the airport. We could feel the night ocean breezes in the large, Spanish-style lobby.

Our room was gorgeous and welcoming, with a balcony overlooking the hotel's private beach. My favorite part of the room was the bathroom, which had a marble and glass shower and large soaking tub/jacuzzi. We also had a fully stocked mini-bar. Everything about the room felt very luxurious.

Every morning, we would awake fully rested, which is quite a feat for such a light sleeper as myself. Our biggest decision every morning was whether to go to the pool or the beach. The beach, one of the only large sandy spots in the area, was great. There were never more than 12 people during the times we were out. The sand was immaculate, and the hotel staff would periodically check on us to see if we needed a towel or drinks. The only con is that currents are rather strong, so the inviting blue water is only good for wading.

The disappearing horizon pool was a tropical haven. The swim-up bar was the perfect place to sip a pina colada and enjoy an afternoon snack.

We also indulged in a couple's massage at the hotel spa. Although it was a little pricey, the experience was blissful!

The staff was very attentive and seemed to cater to every need. Since it was my boyfriend's birthday, I arranged with the concierge for flowers and a cake to be sent to our room. When we went horseback riding at a ranch down the road, the hotel dropped us off and picked us up instead of having to walk too far in the sweltering heat!

Our trip to Cabo was one of the most relaxing I have had, and staying at this hotel was the number-one factor!

This was an absolutely beautiful resort with a great view of the Ocean/Gulf, a breathtaking neverending pool (actually two), swim-up bars, and great restaurants. Rooms were your standard Hilton resort style, but the back opened up to the pool and ocean view. Excellent service and amenities. I could have spent the entire week at the hotel alone.
