    The first time I arrived in Cabo there were only a handful of courses to play. Now it is arguably the golf capital of the world. The original Big 3 were Palmilla and Cabo del Sol - both Jack Nicklaus designs. Then he added El Dorado which is now private. I am a golf nut and have been coming to Los Cabos at least once a year for more than 20 years - it's an addiction, you'll see. There is no other experience like the One & Only Palmilla and I recommend this course highly so after 18 you must head to the hotel for the best Margarita you'll ever have poolside. The cart girls will make them fresh for you on the course - fresh squeezed lime juice - in case you can't wait for the 19th hole. Layout is challenging but deceiving off the tee as there is more room for drives than it looks. My favorite route is the Mountain and Ocean 9's while the Arroyo is also fun (27 holes). The greens are always fast and good luck reading the breaks as you must pay attention to where the mountain is relative to the Pacific Ocean. I promise you will love Palmilla, one of the original gems of Los Cabos.

    3 stars is a little generous because the Nicklaus design is excellent and the service is top notch…read more But the course conditions are just bad. Dead grass and dirt patches all over the place. I was chatting with the Starter, also from the LA area, before I teed off. He compared the bunkers to the condition of public courses in LA. Not a good sign, and he was right. Hard and crunchy. Luckily, I only paid $75 because the greens had been aerated. If I had paid full price I would have been pissed. The course is like if Jack Nicklaus had designed a public course. Challenging design in terrible shape. Not sure what Questro golf is thinking with this one. I played Cabo Real two days ago and the conditions were much better. Campestre was a disappointment but I appreciated the way easier back 9!

    ABSOLUTELY SKIP THIS HORRIFIC, RUDE, INSANELY OVER PRICED, TRASHED COURSE!…read moreDo you want to play at a horrific course that is hot garbage, NUMEROUS workers all over the course weed eating, mowing and cutting trees, rental clubs from the 1800's that were trashed and bent, trashed tee boxes that weren't rotated, destroyed cart paths and construction everywhere? Then this is the course for you! We wanted to play at a nice golf course while we were enjoying our time in Cabo, and we came to the conclusion this was the best one near our resort. We were willing to pay a decent amount to play at a nice place, instead of choosing a budget friendly course and being disappointed by the fairways and greens, etc. We ended up paying an decent amount to still be disappointed by the greens, fairways, and numerous other things. First thing that was unacceptable were the sets of golf clubs we paid around $60 a piece to rent. They were in subpar condition and very outdated. The clubs were old, from what we could tell was the early 2000's, the grips were torn up and the putter skin on the grips was completely stripped off as seen in pics. One thing that made it hard to concentrate and enjoy the course was workers working right near the pin when hitting our approach shots, seems like the courteous thing is to move until we hit our shots then continue working right? Nope, they just kept on working. Also, not the safest approach for the work to be conducted in the case of errant shots. This can be seen in the pictures I provided. Then there was workers weed eating right next to the tee box while we were teeing off which was rather distracting. Then at another tee box there were workers cutting down and trimming trees while we were teeing off, again distracting and not par for golf etiquette. It's necessary for course upkeep, but there has to be a better way for your maintenance teams to perform their duties while not distracting people that are paying to enjoy it. I've never been to another course with as many workers on the course as this one. Pictures provided for this too. The tee boxes were pretty trashed because they obviously weren't moved around. At least half of the greens had pretty bad patchy areas as seen in the pictures. Cart paths were pretty beat up and the carts barely made it up hills to where I thought I was going to have to get out and push. There was construction everywhere also, which was very distracting as well.

    We just had our wedding at Casa Dorada in April 04 2026. We had family and friends staying here for…read morean entire week. We heard nothing but raving reviews from our guests about the rooms and cleanliness of the entire resort. I already had family and friends asking when we can come back for our anniversaries lol. Now for our wedding: The planning through Casa Dorada's wedding coordinator, Katherine Anaya, was seamless and so easy. I can't express enough how amazing she was to handle everything for my husband and I since we are from California. The location of the resort is perfectly on the beach with nearby bars and restaurants. Yes you can hear the music from the bars but it stops at 9:30/10pm. Didn't hear any complaints from any of ours guests (ages 25-83). The wedding ceremony and reception was at the 12 Tribes Terrace and they really transformed the atmosphere to be exactly how I envisioned the wedding! If you're hesitant about doing a destination wedding in Cabo, I researched about 20 resorts and landed on Casa Dorada because of the value, location and how beautiful the resort looks. We are so happy with how our wedding came out and how amazing the staff is at this resort. We want to highlight our amazing wedding planner (through the resort) Katherine Anaya who handled everything for us and made sure the whole wedding experience was stress free and seamless for us. Her first impression through email with me truly made me feel her hospitality and kindness. Meeting her in person for our pre-wedding trip January 2026 just solidified that we have an amazing person helping create our wedding vision and bring it to life! She even went as far as having a custom wedding slideshow playing in our hotel room that had our pictures from our wedding website. The attention to detail Katherine gives is beyond what I could've ever imagined from anyone! Another person I want to mention was Rene at the 12 Tribes Restaurant. We met him during our pre-wedding trip and he handled everything with ease for our signature His/Her drinks and our food tasting samples. Right away his great hospitality and kind spirit could immediately be seen and felt. For our wedding in April 2026, Rene remembered us and gave nothing short of excellent service during our entire wedding week when we saw him or ate at the 12 Tribes restaurant. Rene was actually a server during our wedding and was making sure everything was going smoothly and made sure we felt at home. Two more people who are worth mentioning: Heriberto at the swim-up bar and Michele at the B Bar. Two awesome people who love what they do. They remembered us each time we came back to them. They remembered our drink orders and truly made us feel like family there. If you're thinking about a wedding at Casa Dorada, my advice to you is do it and you won't regret it. It truly felt like our home away from home. Muchas gracias Casa Dorada!!! We will definitely be back! This isn't goodbye, but see you soon!!

I spoke to him and told him he should be nicer. He was drunk and decided to hit on me, which is insane. I kept saying, no, you need to be nicer to your girlfriend. He kept pushing me. He decided he wouldn't take no for an answer after I told him I didn't want to be hit on or talk to him. He became increasingly aggressive. I tried to keep de-escalating. He told me that we WOULD get to know each other. He pushed his phone to me with his Instagram. It was full of pictures of naked women. I went to the host desk. I smiled, so I wouldn't upset him further. I kept smiling and told them I needed him to go away. He came up behind me. They called hotel security, who quickly came over. The man (Ryan) left with his bottle of wine. Security escorted me to my room. I saw him waving from the balcony of a room above mine, very near. I asked to be moved. I was frightened. They changed my room, but I did not sleep the entire night. The next morning, I spoke to the manager, Francisco Escuer. He told me: "I watched the tape, you were talking to the man and smiling. You smiled at the host stand. Why were you smiling if you were asking for help to get away from that guy?" I said, "Because he was coming after me, and that's what women do, so we don't aggravate men we know are dangerous." He said, "Well, his girlfriend didn't report anything." Again, I said: "Women don't report abusers because they are not believed, just like you are not believing me." Escuer also screamed at me and accused me of recording our conversation. He made physical gestures toward me during this. I told him I needed the tape, his information and the hotel's information. He refused to give me anything and yelled at me. I had to check out, pay for that stay, and another hotel. Escuer/the hotel are not safe for women.

    While this isn't a 5 star hotel, our experience coupled with their customer service definitely left…read morean awesome 1st impression. 2 adults and 2 kids, stayed for a week. We booked for the easy location and affordable price. Ocean view room, pool and bar onsite along with only a short walk to the beach? Check, check, and check. The daily breakfast was much better than the normal American Hyatt Place buffet. All dishes were actually fresh made (not frozen/dried/reconstituted). Loved the chilaquiles, fresh pineapple/cantaloupe/papaya, and the Spanish chorizo (linguica?). Our 1st few nights in the room seemed quite warm and we just figured we weren't use to the area. After the 3rd night we decided to ask for fans and to have the AC checked out. They quickly came up and determined the compressor failed. By that afternoon they had relocated us to a comparable room. At the end of our stay, the AGM Alan, comped our 3 nights due to the AC issue... which was above and beyond service! Exceeded expectations for sure. To top it off, we learned early in our stay, that they had complimentary beach chairs and an umbrella to be used for beach trips. We checked these items out, for free, on a handful of days to the beach. Saved us the money and hassle as well as kept us comfy while getting our daily beach time in. We're super loyal to Hyatt as a brand and it's situations like this that keep us a loyal globalist family.

    The two most important factors in my decision to stay here were the pool and the breakfast buffet,…read moreand the Hyatt came through on both. There's a reason you'll see flight crews there every day. The pool is surrounded on three sides by buildings, with trees on the fourth side, so there are small windows for sunshine, but as long as you move around as the sun moves, you should be able to find sunshine. I love the padded lounge chairs. Right across the street is a path to take you about two blocks to the beautiful wide but unswimmable beach, which was almost deserted in early March. There's a nice lobby and a long patio with comfortable seating. Friendly bilingual staff. There's a 24 hour security guard. Flavored water late morning to early afternoon in the lobby. The room was comfortable and well made each day. My bath towel left on hook was still taken away to be laundered. The bathroom sink faucet is 1/2 inch from the edge of the sink, making it difficult to use. The buffet was great, but not fully set up until 45 minutes after opening most days. The menu changed frequently, with the Chilaquiles green chili casserole being my favorite. The OJ was basically flavored water compared to what I'm used to. The hotel can be loud. The windows appear to be singled paned, and busy Highway 1 is right next to the hotel, so you'll hear lots of traffic noise including unmuffled dump trucks. Every morning at 2 AM, an extremely, obnoxiously, exceptionally loud motorcycle went by and woke me up, even with earplugs and white noise running. The hotel is also right under the airport flight path, so about every 20 minutes a jet will roar overhead. The exercise room has a rack of free weights, four treadmills, two bikes, and an elliptical. They don't appear to do any recycling. Overall, I'd recommend it especially given the price point of about $110 plus $30/nt in fees.

Based upon a YouTuber's advice, I decided to plan a trip to the Grand Velas Los Cabos Boutique resort. Michelin starred restaurant included in the all-inclusive resort? Check! Beautiful and spectacular landscapes? Check! Impeccable service? Check! Wonderful food and beverages? Check! You need to catch whatever ride you can get to this resort. My best friend and I found out that August isn't necessarily the best time of the year to visit Cabo San Lucas, but the landscape still spectacular. And with regards to the quality of the food and beverages, I can't say enough about how high of a quality everything was. Sometimes, all-inclusive resorts don't necessarily serve high quality food in every onsite restaurant. You don't have to worry about the Velas Boutique hotel. As my sister Luch would say, everything was beyond stat! I don't know how to express just how wonderful this resort was. And the "Boutique" is the "Adults Only" part of the Grand Velas complex. The regular Grand Velas Los Cabos is a haven for families with everything that a kid could imagine. Picture yourself on a balcony with the ocean in front of you while you sit in your personal hot tub. Then imagine yourself sipping your favorite beverage while the sun rises and sets. Are you there with me? If not, close your eyes and picture it. Yeah, there you go... And if you're looking for a comparison, I've stayed at the St.Regis in Miami and you can't beat this place for the price. Ask for Victor R and Fernanda M for exceptional service!

Fair warning on the drive: it's back in San José del Cabo, close to Tamarindos actually, and the access road going up into the hills is rough -- undeveloped, plenty of potholes, a bit of an adventure just getting there. But once you arrive, it's gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous. Totally worth it. We had lunch outdoors -- nearly all the seating is open-air, surrounded by the actual working farm. I had a Paloma and a mango margarita (mangos from the farm), both excellent. My partner had a lavender martini. She ordered the quiche and salad and I got a pizza. Both were decadent. After eating, we walked the property, which is just beautiful and worth the time on its own. While we waited for our ride afterward, we sat at the bar and kept the drinks going -- I had a mezcal, and my partner had ano lavender martini made with fresh lavender straight from the farm, with an actual lavender bloom frozen into one of the ice cubes. Such a nice, thoughtful touch. This is a must if you're in Cabo -- just budget extra time for the drive and enjoy the ride, because the destination makes up for it completely.

While the food and setting were enjoyable, this was disappointing and something that should have been caught before the dish was served. Overall, a beautiful place with tasty food and a wonderful ambiance, but hopefully more attention to cleanliness and quality control will be given.

A representative named Mark Baronousky Castillo (Folio: 09596) pressured me into a package, promising a taxi ride alongside various activities. He intentionally hid the fact that these perks required attending a high-pressure timeshare presentation. He scheduled a time under the guise of "booking activities," completely fabricating the purpose of the meeting. Key Issues: Extreme Deception: Mark was highly communicative and responsive until the moment I left the property, at which point he went completely silent. He explicitly told me, "Text me your info and I will have a ride arranged." That was the last I ever heard from him. He is absolutely not trustworthy.Relentless High- Pressure Sales: Mind you, I was just now finding out the true reason why I was really here at this time. From the moment I arrived at the presentation, the staff complained about my attitude, telling me it looked like I "didn't want to be here" and demanding that I be more "interactive." When I clearly said no to the timeshare, they completely ignored my boundaries. Instead of stopping, they brought out a second salesperson to tag-team me and pressure me further. When someone says no, it should be left at that. Broken Contracts: The company refused to honor the full agreement. They explicitly denied my guaranteed return ride back to the airport, leaving me stranded after taking my funds. This establishment operates on lies, manipulation, and intimidation. I am demanding a full refund for the unfulfilled promises and the taxi service I paid for. If you see Mark or if anyone mentions Diamante Resort at the airport, walk away immediately.
