We booked this hotel in less than two hours research after another option fell through. I was ready for the worst, but was very pleasantly surprised. Location is awesome, as it is right in the heart of the Cabo action. Its probably a quarter mile walk to the swim beach and beach front restraunts, and right on the marina. We had a master suite, which is a tight fit for for people for a week, as it is all one room with passable kitchenette. It did have two queens, and a hideaway bed/couch. That made for the need to get out of there as much as possible. If it was only two people, we might have tolerated eating in room and saving more money than we did. Almost got the junior suite, but that would have been intolerable for four people. Read complaints about the time share sales pitches, and the hotel staff was GREAT at taking no for an answer. Now of course everywhere else in Cabo, they don't understand no, but that is no fault of the hotel. They left us alone, and were very proffesional. Great family trip in the end, which can be tough with a 15 and 17 y.o. teens, but we were all able to enjoy the trip. Not luxurious, but certainly not a dump, and affordable.

The hotel was very nice but that is the only good thing I have to say about it. The second day we were there all of us girls went down to the pool. I took off my very expensive gold jewelry and put on the top of the dresser. The maids came in to do their daily cleaning and decided to take my jewerly with them. I called management and made a complaint. I let them search the room also for it but they could not find it either. So the only solution they had for me was pretty much O well. I tried to talk to the manager but kept getting put off until I finally left after 5 days. Besides all that the maids would start cleaning at five in the morning and would be so loud and screaming and each other that it would wake you up. The male waiters are also very rude and not honest if do not know what you are doing with pesos. There was no one on the shuttle that takes you to the airport that was happy with the staff. So all I can say is you might want to consider another hotel. Tami Bentley.

Before we even got to the hotel someone warned us of their timeshare people. They pretty much told us that the hotel timeshare staff were very aggressive and won't take no for an answer. They also warned us that the valet staff stall to get your car in order for the timeshare folks to bother you. This is so much the truth! We were harrassed from the moment we stepped foot on the property. We had already booked to go see a timeshare someplace else and the Marina Fiesta folks kept at us so we said we would look at their place as well and make a decision as to which property we would like or what suited us best. Well instead of just leaving us alone after we booked with them to see their property they kept trying to get us to not look at the one we first booked. My brother in law had to finally get nasty with them to get them to leave us alone. Needless to say we canceled going to see their property, bought the other timeshare property and had them move us up their for the remainder of our stay. Marina Fiesta is a nice place, clean and nice pool area and close to hot spots in town but the pusy timeshare folks ruined it for us and we were so glad to get up to our new timeshare and not be held hostage every time we wanted to use our car or be bothered every time you went to the lobby area. Nice place but pushy people. The staff were nice and when we checked out they were understanding.

The Marina Fiesta is located right on the marina, which is where all the shopping and restaurants are. It is a very safe area for all ages. It is within walking distance of the night life areas also, but still far enough away where you don't have to be a part of it if you don't want to be. You can walk around the entire marina at an easy pace in less than 45 minutes. There is also a beach you can walk to in about 15 minutes but the beach you will want to check out you will need a boat ride for. If you decide to stay out in the hotel resort strip area you will be renting a car/taking a cab to be at this area. This is the place to be. Cab ride from the airport to here was $80 one way for two people but it is a 40 minute drive. Be prepared to pay too much for everything in Cabo except for nick-nacks you plan to bring back. You will get tired of saying no thanks to timeshares and junk people keep pushing on you but if you are actually looking for gifts then you will be very happy with your options. The Marina Fiesta was clean and safe. Perfect if you are just lookong for comfort and convenience. The kitchenette came in handy for breakfast. We never actually ate at any of the resort restaurants. They are located out by the marina with the rest of the restaurants except for the daily breakfast buffet which they set up next to the pool. The staff was really nice and helpful. Although they have a timeshare pitch like all resorts do we said no thanks and that was the last we heard about it.

Location is great but we won't be staying there again because of all the construction next to the hotel. (actually the construction is from 2 sides of the hotel) The front desk attendent told us that the constuction has been going on for 4 years, on and off. We were not informed when we booked or checked into the hotel about the noise. The cement trucks start at 5 am!! Air horns and all. The hotel was totally booked so we couldn't even move to another room. No compensation was given even though we asked. We tried to speak to the Manager but with no luck. He was 'unavailable'.
