A Nice Stay

Lots of tasty food choices - breakfast, lunch and dinner buffets plus restaurants - Steak House, Asian, Mexican, Italian. No reservations required. Evening shows were disappointing considering it is a higher end resort. Rooms are well appointed but very cool at night. Pool area was OK with rows and rows of chairs/people all packed in to small area.

Every common area has an incredible view, so don't worry if you book a room that does not. Easy to find open chairs on the beach daily. Disregard reviews that say the beach and ocean are closed off in front of the property, that may have been a temporary situation but both were wide open during our stay. Plenty of variety on dining. Easy 30~ minute walk down the sand to the port for shopping, more sights. We felt safe at this resort. Enjoyed an adults-only atmosphere that included all generations and types (couples, girls trips, adult families). Recommend booking a sunset boat ride to the arch directly with Cabo Adventures on their website, versus a 3rd party. My only complaint was inconsiderate guests and peddlers, but that had nothing to do with the resort.
