Beach.

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.

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!

Best Things Nearby:
It is located about 15 minutes from town where all the restaurants and shopping are located, but is definitely a relaxing, beautiful place to go. Plenty of world-class golf very close by.

Best Things About the Resort:
The rooms were gorgeous and comfortable.

Resort Experience:
We booked our stay at the Sheraton Hacienda del Mar Vacation Club for our RCI exchange week. The accommodations were fantastic. We had a 3 bedroom (1 king and 4 queen/full size beds), 4 bath, fully furnished 2-story apartment with a sleeper sofa in the living room. Beautiful decor with balconies from all rooms. The landscaping was lush and colorful. The beach was clean and the water an azure blue. Plenty of room for privacy (with the exception of the peddlers selling jewelry and other local crafts) makes for a very relaxing environment. The restaurants were good but expensive (great lobster dinner right on the beach). The spa was very nice and offered a variety of services including a very deep, relaxing massage. It is a 15 minute drive from the main points of attraction such as restaurants and shopping. Due to bad weather offshore the beaches were not suitable for swimming due to undertow and I understand that is the norm for certain times of year. It was a place that I would highly recommend and would go back again in the future. Be sure to take a look at the stars at night...absolutely amazing view!

Cabo Del Sol golf course.

Best Things About the Resort:
Its all inclusive amenities, e.g 3 huge swimming pools (overlooking the Sea of Cortez), its own sports bar, health club, spa, and its 5 restaurants, kept you at the resort. The staff's warm hospitality made you feel very comfortable and also made very hard to leave.

Resort Experience:
Hacienda Del Mar is a diamond of the Los Cabos region. Its 4 star status is well deserved. The only downside is that its situated approximately 12 miles outside of Cabo San Lucas. If you don't have a car, you're paying $4 a person, each way, when going into town for some nightlife. This certainly adds up. Then again, after hitting the various drinking holes, a taxi back to the condo is the safe way to go.

Resort Experience:
We were lucky to trade into this resort - If I owned here I wouldn't give it up! The resort offers beaufitul timeshare units (studios, 1, 2 and 3-bedrooms) along with hotel units in an adjacent building.
