Just stay here! You won't regret it - it's the perfect tranquil adults-only retreat.
Pros:

Our second time staying at El Ganzo and the hotel did not disappoint! We could see whales breaching from the rooftop pool all day for endless entertainment. The rooftop pool remains stunningly gorgeous. The hotel rooms are clean and tranquil with beautiful views of the harbor. Uber to/from San Jose del Cabo downtown was quick and convenient; we traveled there for dinner most nights instead of dining at the hotel. We will definitely be back.

Cons:

The rooftop pool exterior wall needs a bit of maintenance and cocktails were inconsistent. Food and drinks at the hotel are rather expensive, but we accept the prices for the convenience, setting, and quality.

I would return to this unique hotel on a trip to San José del Cabo.
Pros:

Uniqueness. Superb location. Attractive facilities. 180 degree water and marina view. Wonderful beach club with swimmable water and delicious food. Wonderful soundtrack music in public spaces. Great service.

Cons:

Restricted and expensive wine. The whole place is a little pricey.

Pleasantly surprised by this lovely hotel.
Pros:

Very hip, artistic, interesting hotel. Very professional staff.

Cons:

I’m not a huge fan of music played loudly while at the rooftop pool, but I got used to it, and , to be fair, there is a quiet pool as well.

This is the second time we have stayed here. We love everything about the hotel but probably won’t stay here again just
Pros:

Location staff and food were all excellent.

Cons:

The incense that you are burning is way to strong I am a migraine sufferer and it was very triggering for me.

Hotel fantastico!
Pros:

Abbiamo soggiornato 4 notti in questo hotel e si è rivelata un’ottima scelta.
La struttura è adiacente alla marina di San José del Cabo in una posizione privilegiata, molto tranquilla e con una spiaggia privata dotata di ristorante, bar, lettini e cabanas. C’è un servizio di taxi boat gratuito che collega l’hotel alla spiaggia, eccezionale!
L’hotel è una struttura moderna che ospita al proprio interno delle opere di artisti che spaziano dall’arredo, alla decorazione di camere e spazi comuni. Quasi un hotel-museo, bellissimo!
Tutto lo staff è molto gentile e disponibile, ci sono due ristoranti, uno al pian terreno dove viene servita la colazione e uno sul rooftop dove si può trovare una bellissima piscina e una vista panoramica che difficilmente è riscontrabile in altre strutture della zona.
La nostra camera (King vista oceano) era molto grande con una bella vista e tutti i comfort, pulizia impeccabile!
Internet disponibile gratuitamente in tutta la struttura, luoghi comuni e spiaggia compresi.
L’hotel organizza anche degli eventi culturali e musicali che rendono il soggiorno ancora più piacevole.
Siamo stati molto soddisfatti di questo hotel e ci soggiorneremo nuovamente qualora dovessimo ritornare a San José del Cabo.

Cons:

Nulla di negativo da segnalare

Pros:

The included breakfast via Booking.com was basic. You will want to oder off the menu, but be ready to pay $50 plus for breakfast.
The roof top lounge area is excellent. Great DJ and the staff were great. I evens a Humpback Whale breach from the pool

Cons:

The $ is weak now, but not as weak as their pricey cocktails. If I wanted watered down drinks I would have gone to an all inclusive resort. One of the reasons I prefer hotels, is that if you order a gin and tonic you can actually taste the gin.
Wine list was weak.
Went to a local place for breakfast one day and the food there was much better and for a 1/3 of the price.

Best stay EVER!!!
Pros:

The property is beautiful…the design of the interior, the art that is everywhere, the live music in the evenings and the outstanding food!!! The staff were professional and caring, and the amenities were outstanding…the private beach, the infinity pool, the hot tub, the lounge areas…Areas to work, read, lounge & snack!

Cons:

Everything about the property was beautifully designed and ran smoothly, from the front desk to the kitchen, to the Beach Club!

Lifestyle hotel
Pros:

the social and music concept is cool.
comfortable
the food on the rooftop is great

Cons:

staff could be trained better. It's not a 5 start hotel by no means.
A bottle of water in the hotel costs 12 USD - insane

Exceptional!
Pros:

The property is amazing! Rooftop pool and bar! Private Beach! Staff! Breakfast! Live Music! Location! Even got a tour of the music studio! So awesome! Kudos!!

Cons:

Massage was too expensive for two of us. Would have bought two if they were under $150 each. $270 plus tip is high.
Spa is nice but also a bit overpriced for just a hot tub and cool pool.
