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!

Susana Castello, a Reservations Manager is an outstanding contact. She responds by e-Mail to your every request.

Opulence is the key-word at this resort. ... Crisply ironed sheets on the very luxurious beds are your first clue.

Tap water is "certified", we (4) drank it daily, with no ill effects.

Rent a car ! ...... Lowest price was from Pay-Less, followed by "All over Baja" we paid $180 per week incl full insurance.

We bought vouchers from website: info@loscabosguide.com.
You get 35% off various venues & restaurants. Vouchers not used are fully refunded to your charge card.

Best venue was by far "Sea Eye" a hydrofoil boat which speeds you out to the Arches where you observe divers under the boat via a ten foot diameter glass bottom in the boat.
The boat then speeds you to all sides of the arches seeing Lovers Beach, Divorce Beach, Lovers Cave etc.

Horseback riding at Courisuva also a must, as is a trip to San Jose del Cabo with its many restaurants & music-supported fountains in the square.

To access Supermarkets one must drive in the Service Road which is beside the super-highway...takes a while to learn.
It pays to buy beer and basic foods & treats at Sam's Club
or Costco...the locals buy at CCC Supermarket.

Nice treat is to have early dinner at Cabo del Sol Country Club which is next door...very inexpensive and very opulent.

Medano Beach (get directions from Concierge) is one can go Parasailing...negotiate price to $30 per person, you can do all that with the Concierge at entrance to Medano Beach.
Using vouchers it was 435 pp less 35% !!!

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.

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 Nearby:
The Sea of Cortez

Best Things About the Resort:
The resort's layout, the beach, the pools,and the resturants.

Resort Experience:
Our one-bedroom luxury oceanfront room was spacious and very clean. We had a spectacular view of the Sea of Cortez. The outside jacuzzi was delightful after a day of sightseeing and sunshine. The poolside food was good, but the new Steakhouse, Cortez was exceptional. I cannot wait to go back again and see everything that I missed this time. There is so much to do and a week just is not enough. I had two full days of lying by the pool and it was awesome. There were three pools and each one was a different temperature, from cool and refreshing to warm and relaxing. The Sea of Cortez is very calm and easy to swim and snorkel in. As I said, I love the place and plan to go back every year.
