Positives: Very clean hotel. Friendly & nice staff. Great pool area. Negatives: Extremely long wait for food at hotel restaurants (except buffet. e.g., waited over 1 hour for appetizer & this was not just one night), food not that great, beds are extremely hard, no wi-fi (charge is ~ $6 / 30 min to use), shuttle times to town (Cabo or San Jose) are limited, taxi to Cabo San Lucas is $50 round trip and San Jose is $40 rt, very small gym & treadmills and one of the bicycles were broken during entire week stay. FYI: Took vacation during first week of March. It gets chilly at night, bring a light coat! Cabo is an expensive town all around from hotel amenities to drinks at bars (4 jagebombs @ Cabo Wabo = $50). Definitely do the Cabo Adventures Outdoor Adventures zip lining! But, save the $200 on the dune buggies...very lame, slow paced, single file driving, machines broke down a lot. Had fun but definitely preferred Cancun.

For the most part I would recommend this resort to friends. Rooms were clean, felt safe, middle class people, comfortable. My only complaint is that the dinner resteraunts (japanese and Mediteranian) were very BAD!! We put our name on the wait list 1 hour prior to dining and it would still take 2 hours to have our order taken and food delivered. Breakfast and lunch at the buffet were great and had excellent wait staff there. Next time we will be dining out instead of waisting 2 hours a night on trying to get dinner!!! Overall I would come back again!!!

Hotel was in fairly good shape, beds were very uncomfortable (hard). Friendly service, strange bar hours.

Pool is shallow and always too warm from the sun
Half the staff are happy, half are not
Shuttle into town is limited to 3 departure and pick up times
Lobby is beautiful
Grounds are beautiful
Great A/C in rooms
Ocean is very dangerous at this beach
Room service included but very limited menu
A great all-inclusive Mexico vacation spot

Great resort. Plenty of food and drink available. Put your towels out early in the day to save a spot under umbrellas if you're a shade seeker like me. The fitness room/spa services center needs better air conditioning and fans. I could not bear to be in there so did not choose to exercise there or to get a pedicure. Fun pool activities for all ages- the staff were hilarious. Tasty margaritas. Service at Mediteranean restaurant too lax, but food delicious. Japanese Restaurant EXCELLENT. Ocean heaven on earth, however the diesel fuel smell of jet skis detracted from the experience. I would go back for another relaxing vacation in a heartbeat!
