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.

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. The service was generally helpful, but there were some initial hiccups. The location is great for beach lovers, but be aware of noise from nearby pool parties. The dining options were decent, and the facilities were well-maintained 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.

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.
