Hotel Finisterra

Each room faces the ocean however you do need to be above a certain level to actually see it. Don't worry, the lower levels still get to see sand, palm trees, and some awesome pools. Ours was just below the tree level but I'd rather be out on the beach looking at it anyway. The room was nicely finished with tile floors big living space including sleeper sofa for stowaways who you don't claim when you make the reservation ;) . Clean, comfortable, and has a nice latin theme....it felt like I was in Mexico, even in the room. For Cabo (I repeat....FOR CABO) the price was really not bad.

Unique Quality: The restaurant and bar is built into the cliff side behind the hotel connected via a bridge. Go eat breakfast up there....not in the restaurant, but on the patio outside of the bar area! My machaca was really good but the view is the kind that makes you slow down and sit there all day just staring.

We definitely recommend this hotel. We had a pacific view side and it was beautiful. The service was great and everyone was friendly and accomodating. We were there for our wedding and honeymoon and we mentioned this as we were checking in and arrived at our room that evening to complimentary champagne and chocolate covered strawberries! We also spent some time at the pools, one of which has a swim up bar, which is fun. The beach and ocean were nice to look at and fall asleep to, and the food is actually pretty good (though somewhat overpriced - typical for a hotel). It's about a 10 minute stroll to downtown or a brisk 5 minute walk though the marina. There's a decent size hill up to the lobby from the main street, but they have a shuttle that goes up and down the hill if you need it. The beds are hard, but that sounds typical for hotels in Cabo. We adjusted rather quickly and got many good nights' sleep.

Unique Quality: This is a huge hotel and no matter whether you stay on the pacific or marina side, the views are fantastic.

Directions: On the pacific side, adjacent to the Marina and Sea of Cortez

Hotel Finisterra is a true resort with not only a prime location on top of the hill overlooking the bay and the town of Cabos San Lucas on one side but with the beach and Pacific Ocean on the sunset side. Deluxe accommodations are in the Palapa Beach Club with private patios, mini-bars, marble floors, and a sunset view. A great restaurant in the hotel as well, the Blue Marlin.

Unique Quality: A fantastic pool to spend the lazy days in or by, with a view of the giant palapa and the pacific ocean beyond.

Directions: Opposite the harbor area, on the hill.

The Finisterra hotel is the best right downtown and close to the Lovers Beach, The Westin Regina is great but to far from downtown

Unique Quality: Built on a mountain side. Very romantic also the Whale watchers bar is great for watching.... you got it ...Big Whales , a great experience

Approx. US$175/night

Unique Quality: It is the only hotel that has the Sea of Cortez to the east and the Pacific Ocean on the west. The hotel itself juts out from the cliffs with an amazing view of the town and the two seas! Our room overlooked the pool area which is sectioned off into 3 levels w/ 8-10 jacuzzis on the corners of the 3 big pools. Of course, having the Palapa restaurant is nice and convenient for easy access to drinks! :) The concierge service is very useful and they will set up all sorts of activities for you, as well as making reservations at any restaurant in town.

Directions: Cabo San Lucas - at the tip of the Baja Peninsula.
