Pros:

Mar del Cabo is a beautiful property tucked in between two giants. It’s small so you never feel like it’s over crowded.

Cons:

The stairs are a lot. Bring everything you need to enjoy your day at the pool when you head down for breakfast.

Disappointing, not worth the money, run-down, unhelpful management/ owners. This hotel is just treated like the “che
Pros:

Property was on the beach, but only a few sunbeds on the beach. The rest of the beds were near the pool but you couldn’t see the beach because there was a wall.

Cons:

The property was much more run-down than it appeared in the photos, we even upgraded our room to an ocean view and felt misled by the pictures. It feels like this resort is an afterthought just squished in the shadow between the two much nicer Velas resorts. There was even rotten sandwiches left on the pillars inside the pool. Our first night at the property we weren’t even able to use the restaurant or facilities at our hotel due to an event and weren’t warned about it, even though we had been emailing the reception ahead of time to arrange our payment. We argued with the staff our whole weekend to try and get a refund for the night without being able to use our hotel and they didn’t offer any reasonable solutions during our stay. We ended up leaving a night early and were very disappointed overall with the experience, especially since our trip the year before to Mexico was so wonderful. After we returned home, we were offered a refund for one night but we still have not even been refunded because they want us to send photographs of our credit card. Overall it felt like we were trying to be scammed the whole time we were at the resort . It is definitely not worth the price , you would be better off paying more to stay at a different hotel or even likely able to find a better deal elsewhere where you actually get quality for the money you spend. Super disappointed.

Pros:

The Staff is helpful but the older property lacks amenities. Pool/Restaurant area is clean and welcoming. Food is good but menu is limited. Our room was clean but the furniture was cheap. Bedside Lighting was terrible for reading .
Housekeeping was thorough with nightly turndown service.
The amount of steps is daunting.
Did not know about golf cart rides until offered halfway through our stay.
Had rain two nights and it flooded one area of the room. Never offered to move us.
Location is a 20 minute drive to San Jose del Cabo....sometimes difficult to book an Uber.
Will not stay here on forthcoming trips.

Pros:

Not well kept, rooms are terrible, the window in the room was not a window and the rest of the windows had a view to a hallway, the rooms said “garden view” no garden to be seen.
Staff was ok, not very trained and not very present.
Place needs maintenance asap!
Food options were really limited and bad.
The breakfast was ok!

Exceptional!
Pros:

We were truly blown away by how extravagant this resort was. The curb appeal steals your attention as you pull close to it. You are greeted with smiling faces and refreshing drinks. The path to the room is like an enchanted garden, tucked away on a private portion of the shore. We went in late July so the resort was very quiet, which was a plus. The rooms, and entire grounds were immaculately clean; and the staff was accommodating, doting, and hospitable. The breakfast each morning was delicious and utterly refreshing, not to mention filling. It held us over until the afternoon hours. We will DEFINITELY return!

Went on a birthday weekend with my girlfriend and it was everything we looked for .
The resort was beautiful and very clean , the staff were very welcoming and friendly and the property its self was super clean. I felt like the cost of the resort was more than fair considering everything that we received.
Will definitely come recommend to others

Quiet and relaxing vibe
Pros:

We booked this hotel at the last minute. Most hotels that were available online were all inclusive which is not our style so we were happy to find this property. The property is absolutely beautiful and the staff is extremely friendly. It is a little on the older side, but it is very well kept up And very comfortable.

Gorgeous oceanside boutique hotel
Pros:

We loved everything about our stay. The property is beautiful and in a great location. The property is relatively small, making for a peaceful environment in the pool and beach area. Day passes are available to the neighboring Velas properties if guests would like to visit, but we enjoyed the facilities at Mar del Cabo. The staff were all extremely kind and accommodating, especially Miguel, Rosaura, and Eufracia at the restaurant. The breakfasts were also delicious every day.

Cons:

I wish the property had two bedroom villas with a more clear view of the sea, but the room was still extremely nice and comfortable.

The property was just ok. Some extra cleaning of the grounds was needed. The WIFI never worked in our room which was very inconvenient. Our stay was just ok probably would not stay there again. Staff was very helpful when needed.
