Photos up for Los Cabos resort

[CalGalTraveler]

Thank you @GajaDreams for the info. I like the thoroughness and honesty of the video. The resort is beautiful but my biggest concern is the remoteness of the resort since we don't rent cars in Mexico. May work for a short stay in which we don't plan to leave the resort.

Have you reviewed the Waldorf Astoria in Cabo?

1. What side of the hotel is La Pacifica?

I've stayed at the Hilton hotel before. Based on the photo, La Pacifica is on the East side of the resort.

The hotel is very nice - it has one of the few "swim-able" beaches as most places there are serious riptides and undertow. You still need to be careful but you can at least go in the water versus other resorts in the Tourist Corridor.

The hotel is also reasonably far from Cabo San Lucas or San Jose del Cabo. You're in for a bus/taxi ride there and back if you need to go into either town. As mentioned in the video - there isn't much around except the resort (and the resorts North and South). You'd need to get groceries delivered or taxi/rent a car into Cabo San Lucas for Costco or whatever.

As I said - the hotel is very nice. When I head back to Cabo however I'll probably try to trade into the Bonito Rose as it is in town and on the other swim-able part of the beach.

Personally, I quite liked the video and your accent was fine. I thought the visuals were extremely nice for a video blog. If I had one critique, it would be that what to do there or nearby was not clear. Maybe that belongs in a separate video "If you want to learn more about what to do at and around this resort, see our video titled..."

It does seem like an extremely expensive choice. Thanks for making the video

Thanks for the feedback. Will add some information on the possibilities around in the future. That's a great idea!

Right. It's absolutely fine for a couple of days, but very isolated. Uber is quite ok with less than 200 Pesos (<10$) to the city.

The Waldorf is one of my favourites in Mexico. But the price level is insane. At least you can have a walk around and are located directly in Cabo San Lucas.
But see for yourself ;-)

Someone alluded to free breakfast in the hotel part of a resort for Diamond hgvc guests at ES in Chicago bHC. Is that an official benefit? Does that benefit exist anywhere else in the hgvc system?

It exists at The District in DC. Cannot go into the owners lounge if not an owner but can get the Embassy Suites full breakfast in the hotel downstairs. (IMO the Embassy Suites breakfast is better). It's a nice perk since the rooms have no kitchen. Not sure if that perk still available with Covid and new hotel owners.

I’m going to give it a shot for a few nights once it opens, but Grand Solmar and Cabo Azul have ruined me for San Lucas and San Jose respectively. I don’t mind renting a car since driving in the area is so simple but I do like my adult beverages and that takes driving out unless it’s just running to the grocery store or something. Uber availability has made it much better than the monopolistic taxis with their sky high rates.

@buzglyd is Grand Solmar the RCI resort on Sunset Beach?

No that’s the original Solmar resort. Grand Solmar is II only.
