    Do yourself a favor, if you're looking and comparing hotels in Cabo.... STOP right now and get a spot here! For the price, location, hospitality, & exceptional attention to detail this place is top notch. I would come back in a heartbeat. The location is out of the hustle and bustle of Cabo and yet walkable to so much. Ale makes you feel at home from the very beginning.... This is so rare these days in places that I forgot how nice it felt. The breakfast in the morning is always a treat and delicious. Seriously can't think of anything wrong with this place... everything was incredible.

    If you want to feel like you're at home - stay here! Everyone was so welcoming and made us feel like we were welcome in their home. The moment we walked in, we were greeted with a big hug and fresh "love potion" (watermelon smoothie). The breakfasts were amazing with the owner serving us while singing and interacting with everyone. I have never felt so relaxed and welcome on any vacation and The Bungalows staff placed a huge role in that. We actually stayed at Tesoros our first night because Bungalows was full, which was also a nice typical hotel, but they honestly do not even compare. When I go back to Cabo, there's no other place I'd rather stay than the Bungalows.

    Quick Takeaway: Enjoy a rustic getaway off the beaten path in Cabo. It's within walking distance to the marina (6 blocks or so- a portion up hill- not on the beach). Stay here if you're looking to avoid staying at a major all inclusive resort and want to experience an more authentic option without all the bells and whistles. It is a unique accommodating Mexican style bungalow getaway for the budget conscious traveler. The hosts will cater to you and welcome you into their 'home' for your entire stay. Come here if your goal is to unplug and recharge and enjoy the simplistic life. Worth it? Yes! We enjoyed ourselves and knew what to expect in coming here (IE: it's a Breakfast Inn and not a five star resort). It was nice to experience Cabo in a more authentic way and we truly enjoyed our stay here. We felt as if we were staying with old friends and were being welcomed into their home. The price is spot for what they offer. Service: Again, the hosts really want you to feel welcomed and have been wonderful! They truly make the resort. They always have a smile and ask if they can do anything to make your stay more enjoyable. They've nailed the hospitality portion of our stay. Overall: This charming and humble 'Breakfast Inn' boasts gracious hosts that will ensure you feel at home and welcome you with hugs as if you're old friends. Breakfast (vegetarian) is included and freshly prepared with fresh smoothies, organic coffee, fruit plate and the daily fare (they will cater to dietary restrictions- just ask). They also offer free wifi, free parking and an ample pool to swim and soak in.The hosts make this place special and are willing to ensure your stay is exactly as you wish. Hot Tips: I would suggest renting a car so you may explore beyond the tourist central Marina. Chilano Beach is where they said the best snorkeling/swimming is and it's a $30USD taxi ride round trip (or $2USD Per Person Bus ride each way - you catch the bus down by the mall). We drove up to Todos Santos for the day and enjoyed the more laid back atmosphere (surfer and yogi vibe) and preferred it to Cabo. I would suggest taking a trip there to visit -- you can visit THE Hotel Califronia, sip margaritas and enjoy a deserted beach all to yourself. There is an OXXO (similar to 711 in the states) around the corner to grab water and Gatorade to stock the fridge. Be sure to visit a bank (or Costco if you have a membership) in town and exchange your USD to pesos (bring your passports for exchange) to maximize the exchange rate so you won't receive the 12/13 pesos to $1 USD like we did (ugh).

    This place was perfect in location. The hotel is gorgeous and more importantly very clean. The staff is phenomenal and the breakfast every morning was delicious. Only a five minutes walk to anything you need in Cabo! Yes five minutes folks. Perfect place if you have kids too! Minus one star because our shower head broke and no one came up to fix it. Highly recommend this place ... We will be back!

    Beware - Food Poisoning…read more We were excited to spend our spring break at Hacienda Del Mar. The resort is beautiful and many of the staff are very friendly and helpful. There are however some major issues with management and lack of accountability. We traveled with our two teens so we stayed in a two bedroom ocean view condo. Our first morning we woke up to the dining room ceiling caved in and water leaking everywhere. The front desk staff was helpful, but we spent the majority of our first day looking at other available units, then repacking all of our things, moving them, and unpacking again. The unit we wound up in was not as good of a view or location as the first, but we were happy to just move on. We never heard anything from management about this major inconvenience, we didn't expect anything for it but an apology would have been thoughtful. I would not have even mentioned this if not for what happened next. Thursday evening we had dinner at the resort (because we purchased the all inclusive plan so that's where we ate the whole week) and by midnight I was awake with stomach cramps starting. I spent the next 16 hours violently, violently ill. At this point my husband had reported my illness to the front desk and they suggested I see the doctor on site. I made my way there and they said I had to be transferred to the hospital because my blood pressure was too low. I spent the rest of that day at the hospital, and incurred quite an expense due to the injury incurred at the resort. On top of that, they also charged me for seeing the on-site doctor. Although I was still quite ill Saturday I filled out and signed an incident report and requested to speak to a manager. I was told the manager was in the other building and would be in touch. I have sent multiple messages and still not gotten any response. Just an apology from the management would have been great but I incurred significant expense due to the illness from eating at the resort. I also paid a significant amount for an all inclusive plan I was unable to use for a day and a half because I was too sick to eat or drink anything. I understand mistakes happen, but the lack of accountability and response are inexcusable. Out of our 7 day vacation I lost 3 days dealing with issues directly caused by the establishment. I recommend you think twice before booking here.

    There are pros and cons. Here's the negatives first - there are lots of positives too, but the…read morenegatives are bringing out my inner "Karen." There's an aggressive push at check-in to commit you (and pay to attend!) an aggressive 3-hour time-share presentation, asking detailed questions about the cost of your last 5 vacations to convince you their $11000-deposit, $900 annual subscription, $1300-minimum weekly rental commitment for 25 years is a bargain. Food prices are higher than major-city downtown hotels - $30 for a cocktail, buffet $45. (Granted, most guests are all-inclusive or get food at 40% off if in the timeshare plan, but the full price is shown to you when asking for a tip to encourage larger tips.) And then after a surcharge to enter 2 of the fancier restaurants, there's still a further surcharge levied for half the items on the menu. The ice-cream shop is not included in the all-inclusive which seems an unfair money-grab. (When you are on an all-inclusive cruise ship, you are not handed receipts 8 times a day to sign and include a tip.) Long waits at the hostess desk every time to enter the buffet, either when the restaurant is full, or empty; long waits for poolside service, and a long wait to get the bill from the waiter every time - sometimes 10 minutes or so. (When we stood up to leave without signing they snapped into action remarkably quickly.) We were asked to give our room number 3 times at every buffet meal which seemed a redundant interruption. Not enough lounge chairs poolside - every single one was claimed before breakfast every day, despite unenforced signs that one cannot reserve chairs if not sitting in them. We did not get to sit in a lounge chair poolside the entire week. Most lounge chairs had lost their rubber wheels or the wheels didn't even turn. This seems like a simple investment that the hotel refuses to make. Beach was closed for walking (enforced day and night by lifeguards) due to dangerous surf and undertow along nearly the entire length in front of the hotel. Wifi does not reach all areas of hotel and requires a fastidious sign-in that takes longer than 75 seconds esp if the wifi is weak. Outdoor hot tub was tepid - making the walk back to the room very cold. Buffet items are not replenished near the end of the meal service. Tongs for serving at the buffet take a lot of force to close making self-serve difficult, with spilt food everywhere as a result. (Is management even looking at these things?) Although the buffet has a pork, a beef, a chicken, and a fish dish at every meal, and they vary, they are all stew-type dishes with a sameness to them all. When they did try something unusual, it was fish with vanilla sauce that was just a horrible unexpected combination. Authentic Mexican options abound, yet they are all very bland. Two kinds of music playing on top of each other in the spa massage rooms, and the music is distorted as if the pre-amp is set too loud. Massages are $200 for 50 minutes - more than the most expensive US venues, yet the therapists do exactly the same technique in the same order every massage with no special attention to areas marked on the intake form. The therapists do not massage as if they understand specific muscle groups suggesting they are not licensed trained therapists. The tiny general store had only candy; no basic toiletry supplies, and no over-the-counter medications for headache, colds, pain, sunburn etc. with the nearest pharmacy a ten minute drive away. Positives: Whales are abundantly in view constantly (it's March) and can be seen just offshore occasionally breaching - close enough you can hear the "slap" but too far to photograph without a telephoto lens. Architecture and ambience feels grand, though just a little dated, and well-maintained. The villa rooms are remarkably quiet, with very quiet central air conditioning, and staff move quietly through the compound in electric carts. Staff are consistently friendly, always very presentable, and greet every guest they pass. Comfortable bed with perfectly-smoothed sheets and spacious rooms with esthetically pleasing furniture, lamps, fabrics. Toiletries had a nice scent of guava and citrus. Housekeeping was detail-oriented with whimsically folded towels, and florets made from toilet paper. Efficient service at the coffee bar with great lattes. Beautiful gardens are well maintained, with even the dirt raked in patterns at the base of each tree, and gardeners attending to upkeep every day. Service is top-notch in restaurants that require a surcharge - such as cleaning all crumbs off the table between courses, coming by to place the napkin on your lap again after you visit the restroom, waiting with dessert in hand tableside until a break in the conversation, using extra staff to bring all plates simultaneously, offering a first sample taste of even the house wine. And the food is exceptional and imaginative in the surcharge restaurants.

Every activity and dinner FOR the all inclusive within the resort required a pre-reservation, including dinner - which I totally understand. It was the way that the reservation agent spoke to us as if everything was "fully booked out" when it really wasn't and lied to us. We arrived for a shorter trip, and when trying to book a reservation through the concierge for dinner, they said they were fully booked, I begged and pleaded to see if there were any spots, and they let us. When we showed up to the restaurant there were only 2 other couples there - so we were wondering why the HECK would you say that things were full when it truly wasn't? Same thing for trying to book the tequila tasting. Although we had a wonderful experience - they acted as if there were "no spots left" and that everything was "booked out" when in reality, my partner and I were the ONLY ones there. I do not trust the "concierge" at this hotel and this made me want to never come back to this hotel again. I do not recommend coming here unless you have every single reservation booked as they are not well equipped for an all inclusive vacation.

The location is convenient, with a supermarket directly across the street. The property was nice and clean--perfect for a relaxing getaway that truly felt like a home away from home. The room had all the main kitchen necessities and more. We started in a garden-view room, and midweek we were able to upgrade to an ocean-view room, which was absolutely spectacular. Falling asleep to the sound of the ocean waves was incredibly calming. The resort also offers beach access, and guests can borrow beach chairs and other items to relax by the water. There are several pools on-site, including a swim-up bar, and they often have live music in the evenings, which added to the atmosphere. The only downside was the on-site restaurant--the food was mediocre, so we preferred cooking in the room or going out to eat. There is a BBQ area available for guests, which was a nice option.

To make matters worse, construction workers were using the area around the infinity pool, with large wooden beams blocking parts of the space. Instead of enjoying the beautiful pool, we had to deal with an active construction site. The constant sound of power drills and other construction equipment during the daytime completely ruined any chance of resting by the pool or relaxing in our room. Had we known that major construction was taking place, we would have chosen a different hotel. I understand that maintenance and improvements are sometimes necessary, but guests should be informed in advance, and the hotel should make every effort to minimize the impact on their stay. Unfortunately, this experience fell far short of the relaxing vacation we had hoped for.

The food was consistently good, and the Lazy River is definitely the standout feature and biggest selling point of the property. The rooms and grounds were well maintained, making for an enjoyable stay overall. That said, there were a few areas where the experience fell short. Pool service was inconsistent, and there often seemed to be a shortage of pool towels. Entertainment options were limited, and with only three restaurants on-site, dining choices felt somewhat restricted. Of the three, Latitud 23.5 was by far the best and the one we found ourselves returning to most often. Guests should also be prepared for a fairly aggressive timeshare presentation pitch. Additionally, the advertised complimentary 45-minute massage per room for direct online bookings appeared to be more of a marketing gimmick, as multiple staff members seemed unaware of the promotion during our stay. While we had a pleasant experience overall, we're likely to try a different resort next year. The Lazy River was the highlight, but the overall experience wasn't quite enough to bring us back.
