Hotel Finisterra Cabo San Lucas, Mexico - Booking Reservations, Reviews, Information

Just got back from staying at the Finisterra. There were the 3 of us, husband, teenage son, and myself. I don't know that I would reccomend this hotel for teenagers as my son only met one other 16 yr old while we were there. He did met lots of (older) people to play volleyball with in the pool. I would have him bring a friend next time or stay somewhere else close to the marina. Thought I had done good research. Mostly good comments but a few thoughts to share. This hotel has the best location. Everything is at your doorstep, marina, mall, downtown, market. Our only real issues were with letting staff from a cruise ship use the pool for a day and they were loud and drunk. However, the families from the Disney boat were very nice and we had fun with them (the hotel lets the cruise boats use their pools). The pool area could have been kept cleaner, same trash was there for days and the pool bar staff were a little slow cleaning up after people (food, dishes). But all 3 pools were beautiful and mostly quiet. The staff for the most part were very nice, but we did not get the feeling of being "spoiled" like we have at other hotels. Whale watcher bar is a must, we saw dolphins one night. Breakfast at the Blue marlin is very good too. Order the nachos from the pool bar! Previous reviewers said construction was an issue, we had no complaints. I only remember hearing it one day and even that wasn't bad. Rooms were kept clean and we had one lady inspect after the maid cleaned. We did leave a 3-4 tip each day. Beds were very firm, but asking for additional pillows. Excellent location!!

I recently returned from Cabo and stayed at Finisterra and I couldn't have asked for anything better. I went with my wife and two friends and we really enjoyed our stay. We especially liked that it was within walking distance from the heart of the town. Room service was excellent, the room was good, and the pools were even better! Although you cannot swim in the ocean, you can do some fishing from shore. The private beach is lined with hammocks and palapitas for your relaxation. My wife and I cannot wait to go back! It is also ideal for families.

My husband and I chose this hotel not only based on the price but for the location. We wanted to have an ocean view but also be close to the shopping. This hotel is located a short walking distance to the Marina which is where all the great shopping and dining are located. You can also walk downtown which is right off the marina. The rooms were nice, tile floors which I prefer as they seem to be cleaner, nice bathroom and private vanity area with all the essentials. The rooms also have a complimentary safe where you can put all your valuables. The three pools were very nice and clean. The main pool which also has the swim-up bar was definitely the most popular and we realized later not only for the drinks but the other two pools were absolutely freezing! Not sure why.. but if you wanted a more quiet setting to read a book or just lay and enjoy the sun, then you should head over to one of those pools. We had read reviews prior to our trip about the construction going on next door. It wasn't that bad but you could hear it more from the first pool; so keep that in mind. If you don't want to hear any construction, then this might not be for you, although we did notice that several of the hotels had construction going on while there. We would definitely stay here again as overall for the price, it was very very nice. The two downfalls.. the massage .. not the greatest and tupon checkout they were haggling over a 3 bottle of water that they say we used in our room which we didn't.. they finally deducted it from our bill. Overall good place to stay!

If you stay here, please stay in the lower section, the Beach club. Wireless internet is not available in the rooms. You have to go to the business center or the pool area. Taxi ride to the Cabo Wabo is about 6.00 and beats the walk. Hotel has an ATM and they will change money at the front desk. I played the Cabo Real golf course. 30 taxi ride, 180.00 greens fees, but its a great course. Play Cabo Del Sol also. Wave runners are 80.00 for an hour over on the beach area. Take more money than you expect. June and July are hot. Have fun like I did. Rich

I really wanted to be able to strongly recommend this hotel. Afterall, you can't beat the location and value. For me though, the service was a big detractor. I received a hundred dollar food voucher which they would not fully honor when it came time to check out. I found this to be really deceptive and the primary reason for my 'do not recommend' rating. The other negative issues--Beware there is construction next door and they work from 8-6 at least 6 days a week. Laying by the pool is not very relaxing with all the noise. Because of this, it is worth it to upgrade to a palapa beach club room which is on the opposite side of the hotel away from the construction. You can still hear some noise, but it is bearable. Also, the walls of the rooms are paper thin and you can hear every noise in the adjacent rooms.I found the staff to be somewhat creepy. They actually seemed mad at us for going to the playa grande timeshare tour next door. I understand they don't want competition, but we were turned off when one a staff member saw us in the hallway and made a comment that we went to a competitor tour and asked what they gave us.The rooms need a little updating but are clean. The location is walking distance to the marina. The hotel has a pacific ocean beach which is nice to walk along, but is non-swimming. Safety was emphasized and you actually can't bring any guests to the hotel after 9pm.All in all, with the service issues and construction, we wouldn't recommend staying there now, unless the value is right for you and you plan mainly off hotel property activities.

We stayed here for our honeymoon. Hotel is in a great location, on top of a hill. The walk to the marina isn't bad at all, 5-7 mins. Restaurants are awesome with great views, we saw whales while having breakfast one morning. Now for the bad stuff....When we checked in around 4pm, we saw and heard loud contstruction, a new hotle was being built right next door. I asked how late they worked, we were told 5pm. So went to dinner and came back at 7pm...construction still going on. We asked to be moved to the other side of the hotel, that room was full of cockroaches. To be moved again, was an 80 per night cost. We had no choice, and moved rooms again. We've contacted travelagent about this, no response yet. Not a great start to our honeymoon, but it turned out great. We will stay here again, once the new hotel next door is finished. It's not very relaxing laying by the pool or on the beach, hearing 100 construction workers building a new hotel. Stay away for at least a few months, or call the lobby and ask if the construction is done.
