Excellent facility. Many restaurants and pools. Nice beach, which is rare in Cabo. Very relaxing and great service. We liked it enough to buy a timeshare there!

Best Things Nearby:
There was nothing nearby. Ten minutes to town with a minimum $25 US each way for a taxi.

Best Things About the Resort:
It is quite a large resort in a modern Mexican style property. There were several pools with views of the beach.

Resort Experience:
This resort is very overpriced in every manner that they offer. The distance from town with access is very unreasonable. The management for this resort were NOT helpful when needed and several problems arouse from our experiences through the resort. They misrepresented the timeshare presentation, telling me I can go to space!! Sure!!

There was poop in one of the pools that an 11-year-old girl had to get rid of with a cup because of lack of hospitality. The fishing trip was misrepresented in all sorts of fashion where it cost us $200 US on top of our deposited agreement. The doctor charged my husband $150 US for 10 minutes for an ear infection that the doctor here in Canada explained how we were scammed, and he is now on heavy medication to get rid of the infection that went right down his throat. They were not helpful with many other ways and I would not recommend a stay at this resort.

Please note that most of the people that we met there had complaints because of the misrepresentations and lack of real hospitality. The management were not helpful to them in any way either. The costs for food and everything else offered at the resort was outrageous!! There are many beautiful resorts in downtown Cabo that we saw, and would suggest a stay at one of those resorts.

Best Things Nearby:
Sea of Cortez. Sunrise or sunset from the hot tub is a treat. Relax at Hacienda del Mar or go to town for action and adventure.

Best Things About the Resort:
It gets nicer each year, facilities have expanded to include resort and conference center. Golf courses and tennis top drawer.

Resort Experience:
Hacienda del Mar is a lovely place to call home. Tired from hard work and disappointed by cold or rainy vacation trips to places that never seemed as nice as the pictures? HDM and Cabo San Lucas is our reward and refuge each winter. Family and friends have joined us from time to time since 1999, but it's OUR escape. Enjoy it if you get the chance!

Best Things About the Resort:
This is a wonderful resort -- the pools are amazing and the food is very good.

Resort Experience:
When you arrive, the first thing that they push on you is the timeshare sales lecture.

The resort itself is very nice with a guarded entry. The room was wonderful -- two huge bedrooms, each with a full bath, and very private because they are separated by the full kitchen, dining room, and living room. Each bedroom had its own sliding glass door with a patio area. This was a nice set up for us since we took my younger sister and her 3.5-year-old son.

There is a small store on site, but it didn't have much. I came prepared, bringing enough Easy Mac for Jerran to last him the trip. The resort food was good -- we went to the buffet one night and the Beach Party . . . this is a must, although I must say I had way too many Long Island Iced Teas from the open bar!!

One big downfall was that the vendors bugged you any time you went to the beach -- you almost had to run away from them. I think if they hired security they could stop the pestering while still allowing them to sell there wares.

The beach, town, lots of restaurants, shopping, activities like boat tours.

Best Things About the Resort:
The timeshare is amazing. It feels like a wonderful vacation spot where you can relax and have no worries. It was clean and beautifully decorated. The people are incredibly friendly and helpful. You just feel like you are in paradise.

Resort Experience:
Cabo San Lucas took us by surprise. It is this amazing land of desert, mountains, and the most beautiful ocean. It's wonderfully romantic with great beaches and outstanding views. There are so many options there. We really wanted to just relax and have no itinerary or anything, and that's what we did.

The pools at Hacienda Del Mar are amazing, including an infinity pool overlooking the ocean. Our beach was a bit too dangerous to swim in so I would swim up to the edge of the pool, sit on the ledge and watch the beautiful waves. So relaxing! But, if you want a busy vacation, you can snorkel, dive, fish, golf, ride ATVs, shop, etc. We took a glass bottom boat ride to the famous Los Arcos (the arch) and that was a blast!

What an amazing place! Everyone told us that Cabo is unique to other places they have been in Mexico and I believe it! The food was fantastic. Definitely visit Pitahayas at Hacienda Del Mar for outstanding presentation and food. All I can say is go to Cabo! You'll love it!
