Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers modern and clean rooms, but they can be noisy at times. Despite the noise, the rooms are pretty and provide a comfortable stay. The service is efficient and meets basic needs. The location is excellent, offering a beautiful view of the arch and close proximity to Cabo San Lucas. The dining options are varied and satisfying, especially with a buffet available. The facilities are adequate but could be improved to enhance the overall guest experience.
My stay at the hotel had its highs and lows. The spacious rooms were a plus, but unfortunately, they lacked air conditioning and were infested with mosquitoes. The ambience inside the rooms wasn't very cool compared to outside.
I was delighted with the prime location of the hotel, right by the beach and near various dining options. The rooms, though nothing special, were superbly nice and provided a cozy stay. The pricing for the rooms was reasonable, making it a great value for the money.
The hotel offers a mix of comfort and brightness in the rooms, with some privacy concerns. A welcoming atmosphere but in need of updating. A lively location with plenty of dining options but not ideal for swimming.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were very clean and spacious, but it wasn't ideal to be moved to a different room for less than 3 hours. The service was top-notch, with great room service available, but there were some issues with getting certain amenities. The location was incredibly fun and beautiful, although there were disturbances in certain areas. The dining had a good selection overall, but there were occasional hiccups with getting specific items. The facilities were impressive, but there were minor inconveniences that affected my stay.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms offered a stunning ocean and infinity pool view, but we encountered confusion with our room assignment initially.

Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience.

The service was top-notch, but some improvements could be made in the dining options. The location was beautiful and offered easy access to various attractions, although noise from other guests was a concern. The facilities were good overall.
The hotel is situated near the RIU POOL PARTIES, so it's important to be aware of the party days. The location offers longer hours and is on a busy pathway for evening dinner crowds. Excellent for heading into town, a must-visit spot, and away from the Italian restaurant. Just off the Marina, close to the Foam Party pool, and a short walk to the beach and infiniti edge pool. The hotel is perfect for a large all-inclusive resort in the area.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were comfortable but lacked attention to detail in cleanliness. The location was convenient for dining and entertainment, but there were some issues with noise late at night. The service was attentive despite some initial hiccups. The dining options were varied but could use improvement in hygiene standards. Overall, a decent value for money with some room for enhancement.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were spacious, clean, and equipped with nice amenities, but the pillows and towels were not up to standard. However, the location was great, though some improvements could be made. The dining experience had some good options, and the facilities were decent.
