This is a lovely hotel. With friendly staff. There is shuttle that runs up and down the drive way which is steep! The beach out front has protected turtle eggs nests, and if your lucky you'll see turtles!!

This hotel exceeded my expectations. First, let's clear the air - Cabo is not cheap by US standards, so I found the Hotel Finisterra to be quite a value. I was travelling in shoulder season, and needed a hotel with a reasonable price, on the beach, walking distance to downtown, and Finisterra meet all my qualifications.
It is a nice hotel with spacious, clean, and comfortable rooms. I booked in the newer addition that is closer to the beach and pool area. My room overlooked these features and the views were fantastic. The older section is majestically perched on a cliff behind, and if you take the time to venture up there, it has fantastic views of both the Pacific and the Marina.
No complaints about the service, and though I heard previous review about construction next door, I heard nor was bothered by anything. It is a short walk to down town, and never took a taxi my entire stay...though had friends who did, and I had to laugh when they would arrive after me because their taxi driver couldn't find where they were going. If you aren't afraid of a little walk it is quite nice, and safe too.
Make sure you have at least one day drink at the Whale Watcher bar in the old part of the hotel. It is on top of a cliff overlooking the pacific with fantastic views. Although some new construction mars what once must have been a pristine view during the time of Hemingway, it is still a great overlook. And if you are there during the right time of year, as the name suggest, you can see the whales swimming in the ocean from your deck chair.

Just got back from staying at the Finisterra. There were the 3 of us, husband, teenage son, and myself. I don't know that I would reccomend this hotel for teenagers as my son only met one other 16 yr old while we were there. He did met lots of (older) people to play volleyball with in the pool. I would have him bring a friend next time or stay somewhere else close to the marina. Thought I had done good research. Mostly good comments but a few thoughts to share. This hotel has the best location. Everything is at your doorstep, marina, mall, downtown, market. Our only real issues were with letting staff from a cruise ship use the pool for a day and they were loud and drunk. However, the families from the Disney boat were very nice and we had fun with them (the hotel lets the cruise boats use their pools). The pool area could have been kept cleaner, same trash was there for days and the pool bar staff were a little slow cleaning up after people (food, dishes). But all 3 pools were beautiful and mostly quiet. The staff for the most part were very nice, but we did not get the feeling of being "spoiled" like we have at other hotels. Whale watcher bar is a must, we saw dolphins one night. Breakfast at the Blue marlin is very good too. Order the nachos from the pool bar! Previous reviewers said construction was an issue, we had no complaints. I only remember hearing it one day and even that wasn't bad. Rooms were kept clean and we had one lady inspect after the maid cleaned. We did leave a $3-4 tip each day. Beds were very firm, but asking for additional pillows. Excellent location!!
Great Vacation!

I recently returned from Cabo and stayed at Finisterra and I couldn't have asked for anything better. I went with my wife and two friends and we really enjoyed our stay. We especially liked that it was within walking distance from the heart of the town. Room service was excellent, the room was good, and the pools were even better! Although you cannot swim in the ocean, you can do some fishing from shore. The private beach is lined with hammocks and palapitas for your relaxation. My wife and I cannot wait to go back! It is also ideal for families.
