My boyfriend and I got a great deal to stay there last May and we can't wait to go back. The rooms and amenities are really nice, and the staff is very helpful. It's only a 10 minute walk to the marina, resturants and nightlife.
Finisterra Hotel In Cabo

This is my fifth time staying here (and 7th trip to Cabo) and I will be back! This hotel is the original, or one of the original hotels in Cabo so don't expect top of the line amenities or great upgrades. You won't find that here. What the Finisterra does provide is THE best beach in Cabo. Private with very few people on it at any time. The rooms have always been extremely clean. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The maid service was wonderful. The food at the Palapa (pool), I thought, was better than the Whale Watcher Bar but you cannot beat the view from the Whale Watcher. The hotel is located maybe half a mile to the marina so I never took a taxi to get anywhere within the city. It's close to downtown yet the beach is the most private and quiet. On the downside: the beds aren't the greatest and I wish they would get fitted sheets! Those slid off every night! The bath towels should be upgraded as well as the sheets and comforters. Otherwise, I would not hesitate to stay there again. WONDERFUL!
Great location

Stayed there as a mature couple seeking a quiet, relaxing romantic retreat by the Ocean.
After reading others reports, we hesitated but finally decided to go.
NO REGRETS. Stayed March 8-14, 2009.
Place is quiet, no evening band or loud music, pool during the day was just great with some annoyances from a next door new construction in final stages, but ok.
Stayed ON the beach with 4 or 6 other people. Great walk by the Ocean. NO SWIMMING make sense when you see waves rolling in.
Blue Marlin restaurant great food, and walking distance from the Marina.
Comments about the Hill to get to reception are out of reality, and hotel shuttle by the gate helps people in need.
Would recommend for peaceful vacation, but not if you want to swim in the Sea each day.

Nice hotel. Service was good besides the annoying concierge who consistantly bothered us to join the Time Share tour. Location is right on the beach. It's a non swimming side of the ocean but plenty of views of whales and dolphins. After one or two walks on the pier we stayed on the road into town. Less people bothering us to join their activities. Hotel has 3 pools and 4 hot tubs. Only one of the pools is heated but still very nice. The pool chairs could be updated but still worked ok. Get a room not on the first floor away from the noise. Only real complaint was the mattress was like sleeping on cement.
Hotel Finisterra is a great place to stay

We have been fishing in Cabo for more than 15 years. We always stay at the Hotel Finisterra and have nevered had a bad experience. The entire staff is friendly and fun to be around. It's close to town and has a beautiful beach (can't swim there and you must always be careful with the wave action when walking on the beach). The Whale Watcher's Bar has the best view of the ocean in Cabo. We would recommend asking for the newer section if you want the best view and updated rooms. (Palapa Beach front rooms). In Mexico the hourly wage is far beneath anyone means to make a living. Tiping the help is a big plus on your vacation. We'll be back soon! Sit back and enjoy your stay at the Finisterra with no worrys! P.S the help is so honest here, they returned 45.00 cash left in my husbands shorts when they did our laundry one time!
