Playa Grande Resort

  • February 5, 2006
  • Rated 5 of 5 by LESLIE OHIO from Vandalia, Ohio
Best Things Nearby:
The Lover's Beach, the marina and a short walk to town.

Best Things About the Resort:
No vendors on the beach. Colorful resort and quiet.

Resort Experience:
The resort sits at the end of Cabo. It's a wonderful place to whale watch or just watch the Sea of Cortez. The waves crash onto the beach and it sounds like they are crashing into your room. We have a unit that faces the beach. The rooms have everything you will need.

Playa Grande Resort

  • October 20, 2005
  • Rated 5 of 5 by chris1916 from Orem, Utah
Best Things Nearby:
It is an easy 10-minute walk to the marina and town. There are lots of great restaurants and an un-crowded beach--just don't go swimming because of the undertow.

Best Things About the Resort:
Beautiful!!! There are lots of pools to choose from, spacious rooms, super service from our maid (Rosy), and a very friendly staff.

Resort Experience:

Playa Grande is, in my opinion, the best resort in Cabo. It is away from the noise of the city but close enough to walk to (10 minutes). It offers everything that one could need. The staff is very helpful and generous. Most of the construction is done, except for the new rooms up on the Ridge. We liked the view from the Ridge of the Marina and upgraded.

They offer you great discounts on activities such as fishing, ATV, tours, etc. Take the tour to Todas Santos and enjoy a great meal at Tequila Sunrise Cafe across from the famous Hotel California. Make sure you write your name on the wall like everyone else. We caught a nice 45-pound Dorado and cooked it. We brought the meat home. Make sure you bring your own ice chest down if you go fishing. It is pretty expensive to buy one there. Overall, I loved Cabo and the Playa Grande.

Playa Grande

  • September 18, 2005
  • Rated 5 of 5 by VEKV from NEW YORK, New York
Best Things Nearby:
La Dulce restaurant. This is a wonderful Italian restaurant. The prices are reasonable and the service was good. My only complaint was the waiter did not thank us for the tip, and we left him 20 percent. Try the flan for dessert! The seafood was delicious. I had the jumbo shrimp.

Best Things About the Resort:
This is a beautiful resort. The lobby is magnificent. The food at the restaurant was good, but nothing to write home about. The staff is pleasant.

Resort Experience:
This is a quiet, relaxing place to stay. The room we had was very impressive, nicely furnished and overlooking the Pacific Ocean. I was able to use my laptop and the wireless connection. The pool was very nice.

Playa Grande Resort

  • July 25, 2005
  • Rated 3 of 5 by wen7789 from San Anselmo, California
Best Things Nearby:
Easy walking distance to town. Great crafts market just down the hill. Close to marina.

Best Things About the Resort:
New resort with very comfortable, nice rooms; five pools, one of which is adults only; staff very friendly.

Resort Experience:
Very beautiful resort with pools and waterways in the center. Has the feel of an old European town. Rooms are plush, with beautiful wood, marble, and stone. Balconies with every room. Every room has ocean view; you can hear waves crashing at night. Every morning, there were lawnmowers - so unpleasant to have morning coffee on the balcony, just too noisy .I could have mowed all the grass they had in one morning. Pool area gets very loud in the afternoon when drunk volleyball starts with happy hour (two-for-one drinks). Great spa and gym, easy to make appointment or drop in. Two restaurants with good food, but not a very big menu. Most of the evenings, we had to call to have the futon made up - the maids didn't remember. One night they had to send security man because all the other staff had left.

Playa Grande Resort

  • April 16, 2005
  • Rated 4 of 5 by sdrolet from Pitt Meadows, British Columbia
Best Things Nearby:
The Mexican Fiesta at the Solmar Suites and the Marina.

Best Things About the Resort:
Awesome accommodations, great gym. The kitchen was well-stocked with all the equipment we needed.

Resort Experience:
The resort is amazing. The employees are all very helpful. The Mexican fiesta at the Solmar suites next door was great. Although you can't swim in the Pacific at the resort, the walk on the beach were great. You can even get to Lovers Beach by climbing over a rock formation. A local was there, showing us the way. It was easy to get to and from the resort on foot. The marina walkway is close by and can take you all over the city. They are currently building a new section called the Ridge. The construction noise was not affecting us. The timeshare presentation was good, and they were not pressuring us to buy. A great resort overall.
