We also walked along the beach to dinner at another resort.

They have employees staked on the beach to keep you from even diping your toes in the water.

Despite this, the resort's accessibility to nearby beaches is a notable highlight.

But it was not too big a deal, we just took an Uber to an another beach to snorkel.

No umbrellas available nor allowed on beach.

Take a water taxi ($25us) to the Arch and Lovers Beach for snorkeling.

The direct beach access gives way to the most beautiful sunsets and photo ops.

!Easy walk to marina and tons
Of great restaurants and fun.

We had an amazing master suite in building A, beach front, amazing views of sunrise and sunset.

The beach is beautiful and we could see whales from our chairs.

We enjoyed a premiere location, the public beeches were delightful, all inclusive meals were very well prepared, with many good choices to dine.

Location of resort is convenient and short walk to marina.

Absolutely loved Franco who took wonderful care of us at the pool & beach party night.

Adult pool buy the beach is the place to be!

Fiesta night and Beach night were both fun.

The food and servers have been so friendly…checking in with Renato was great, our server, Jorge, at Calima and the Beach party has exceptional attention to detail and oh so friendly!

The king size bed in the ocean view room was much nicer on my back than the marina view room.

The walk to downtown Cabo is very easy and safe.

but there are a lot of amazing hotels in Cabo and the taco stand really made Playa Grande stand out.

Oh and  the ocean view with whales passing by with perfect weather conditions makes this an ideal place in Cabo!

Location was perfect, close to the marina allowing you to walk to dive shops, snorkel trips and locations like Cabo Wabo.

We will definitely return here the next time we come back to Cabo.

We have been coming to Cabo for 17 years and this was one of the best places we have stayed.

Great location, lovely property, easy access to the marina and all downtown Cabo offers.

Playa Grande resort is located in the main area of Cabo.

He's the reason we like coming to Cabo!!!

These staff members and the welcoming and fun entertainment environment are the reason we choose to stay at Playa Grande when we come to Cabo San Lucas.

He only waited on my husband and myself one morning as we were mostly exploring around Cabo during out stay.

I stayed at Playa Grande and inside the resort are staff that are there to assist with activities through Cabo Adventures.

Our first Cabo visit…and Playa Grande has been exceptional!

Save your money and pick a different resort in Cabo if you’re planning on coming anytime soon.

A great resort in a great location in Cabo San Lucas.

It’s a 10 minute walk to the Marina and 20 minutes to downtown Cabo San Lucas!

Couldn’t ask for a better place to stay in Cabo.

The waitress assured us that it was not going to be charged to our room

The following day I went to a more basic restaurant had a few tacos and beer and noticed a 10% service fee on my invoice.

We were charged over $300 of “fees” above and beyond tips, taxes and mandatory charges.

After many discussions, producing paperwork showing where I was booked, and a plea for them to honor their obligation, they refused and said my only option was to take the room at the lesser resort and that was it, no compensation/upgrade for my loss of value, no resort credit, just take it or leave it.

but still an upgrade) for the rest of our stay at no additional charge.

Despite the hotel charges you 30% of tax and service in your booking, you need to bring extra cash to tips the waiters or they let you wait for your drink and food forever.

They incorrectly billed me then and have continued to charge my credit card.

They do push the timeshare pitch and aren’t always up front with how things are charged.

No towel cards mean people leave their towels on their chairs even when they are gone for the day and new arrivals can’t tell if a chair is truly available.

Gym doesn’t open till 7am and there is an $11 US charge, never been to a property that charges to use the gym.

After going there for 17 years (AS AN OWNER) I don't like the treatment I been given, PLEASE BE AWARE OF CHARGES PLACED ON YOUR ACCOUNT.

To make matters worse, their only concern was getting our card to pay for the new nights stay, and not the health and welfare of 5 of his sick guests.

lobster) are NOT fully included in the all-inclusive meal plan and there is a hefty surcharge of $45 if you want the lobster.

In fact, probably worth skipping the towel card completely as we simply gave our room number to get towels.

Yes they take your credit card and charge everything to your room

Shame on Playa Grande Resorts for charging their Disabled Guests extra.

After 1 hour, we finally got our room keys and were then ushered over to speak to the concierge to receive our towel cards.

This place was packed while we were there so the fact that they could remember who we were and what we ordered seemed kind of important to be sure we were being charge accordingly.

The hotel is right across the street from the marina.

but worked just fine

Only complaint - our room faced the marina where Sr Frogs is located.

Playa Grande Resort boasts a convenient location near Cannery Beach and a short stroll to Medano Beach through the nearby marina.

It was great to have the resort walking distance to the Marina.

The resort is close to town and the marina and is easy to walk to everything.

The best resort on the All the people are very friendly, something that really pleases me is that every time we visit this beautiful resort we are always greeted with a big smile, the quality of the hotel is too good and best of all it is literally next to the Marina.

We walked all over marina at night and always felt safe.

The rates were reasonable especially as the location is within walking distance of the marina.

The proximity to downtown and the marina eliminate the need for a rental car, you are walking distance to many restaurants, bars and shops.

The proximity to downtown and the marina eliminate the need for a rental car.

Beautiful resort, then walk down the hill 5 minutes and you are at the marina and downtown.

The marina and shopping is a 10-15 minute walk from the resort which made it very easy to do anything you wanted to do off of the resort.

We did like that it was close to the marina!

Stayed in two different rooms - an ocean view penthouse (2 bedroom) and a marina penthouse (2 bedroom) on “the ridge.” There are pool renovations happening - there are 4 pools, one of the four will be out of commission until they’re all completed.

Although not far from Marina and "downtown" in distance, the walk there is not easy nor scenic, especially on a hot day.

It was very clean with huge rooms designed with Mexican flair.

The fire dancers as well as the Mexican fiesta was so fun and awesome.

The food at the Mexican fiesta this year was top notch and ever single staff person worked extremely hard to keep us well fed and filled with the drinks of our choice.

The Mexican party night is by far my favorite part of staying here!

Great performance you don’t want to miss.The Mexican party was very fun.

The Mexican Fiesta on Monday nights is fun, great local entertainment.

Some activities include the famous tequila volleyball in the pool, Mexican fiesta night, and the beach party.

but the Mexican Fiesta was extremely fun and very engaging.

Must do: Mexican fiesta and Beach party .

So clean, the food & drinks was great, the Mexican Fiesta is highly recommended.

The Mexican Fiesta  party with food, drinks, entertainment and fireworks was amazing!! !

The weekly Mexican fiesta is a must, definitely a highlight… fireworks were pretty cool too!

The Mexican Fiesta was a particular highlight with a great spread of food.

Mexican fiesta and beach party are 10/10 events because of them.

We loved the Mexican fiesta and all the daily activities!

Was there in 2021 the Mexican Fiesta, beach party is something you can’t miss.

She made the Mexican fiesta a great experience.

Last night this came to light after an expensive dinner for three at the steakhouse.

You tip, then you pay for additional “fees” and taxes.

At that point I figured we were going to be put in the dreaded Ridge, or forced to pay for an upgrade to be in the main resort.

Avoid the offers, starting in the airport and then in the hotel lobby at all costs.

Not sure if the price I paid matched the experience I got.

When I canceled, there was no warning that the rate was nonrefundable.

There’s an infinity pool, a water slide, and allegedly the pools up here are adults only. Here are some of my observations: 
* 4 star resort
* All inclusive meal option available
* Uber Eats is available for some local restaurants 
* Food at the resort is overpriced for the quality
* $15 taxi ride into marina shopping area 
* $120 taxi ride from airport
* walking from resort to marina (where there are restaurants and shopping) is doable

This does not make life easier for guests who want to take an Uber (instead a regular cab or or transport companies indicated by the hotel, which were more expensive) and I think only having a vehicle and passenger identification when accessing the hotel would be necessary, even with security issues.

Beware the exorbidant food and beverage costs if you don't use the meal plan.

Unbelievable service for this kind of pricing for a hotel and the most worst customer experience and service ever.

My advise is to avoid such a ripoff places

This would seem like an unfortunate price hike mishap if it wasn't for it happening again and again once you check all other seemingly great priced offerings.

Like any resort, food and drinks were underwhelming and overpriced

enough so that we had to call the Nurse on campus to bandage us up.American money is best since it is so much easier, plus when we exchanged it for pesos, there was an expensive fee.

dozens of boats, both private and tour boats show up in front of the resort about 15 minutes before sunset to see the show.

Amenities - standard, nothing fancy
Sports Bars - shows all games, ufc fight etc
Onsight grocery store 
Gym was older equipment,

The sports on television is very entertaining.

And *Amy and *Rodrigo with the entrainment staff are always so happy, pleasant, polite, fun and always a smile on their faces.

The entertainment staff provide a lot of fun activities such as water aerobics and volleyball.

Entertainment team does a nice job of trying to engage guests.

And to everyone else that made this trip special: the entertainment staff, the Fiesta Night dancers, the phenomenal staff at the Sports Bar, and our lovely housekeepers.

The wait staff and entertainment staff (Selma, Amy, Humberto, Luis) were the most enjoyable and the main reason we always enjoy ourselves every time we come to Playa Grande.

Lots of entertainment, everyone was always so helpful.

The Entertainment staff was wonderful especially Aiimee, who was hardworking, vibrant and always with a beautiful smile.

MC Roberto is hysterical and the entertainment team is great!

I need to give credit to the bartenders, servers, and entertainment staff by the pool!

A few employees who stood out:  Luis with the entertainment staff (water aerobics, tequila volleyball), Hector at the swim-up pool bar and our housekeeping staff for P2351.

(they rotate areas daily): Ramon, Franco,  Jaime
Entertainment staff: Aimee , and the skinny guy who played me in ping pong and judged Tequila Volleyball.

Entertainment crew were funny and the two activity nights were worth the cost.

Overall, our 7 day vacation was relaxing, entertaining, and one of the best we have taken!

The entertainment team will make it memorable.

Beautiful resort, fantastic entertainment crew!

My wife and I have enjoyed Grand Sol Mar for many year.

Can’t beat Grand Sol Mar and their level of service!

We have two weeks at the Grand Sol Mar and absolutely love it there.

but I think the idea of eating at Terra Sol is a good one or taking an Uber to Tres Gallos and Mi Casa (amazing restaurants)!

The Terra Sol Resort next door has a really good restaurant — we had breakfast there twice and it was excellent!

My wife and I have been coming to Playa Grande since it opened and before that, to their neighboring property at Sol Mar (20+ years).

What an amazing, caring, responsive person he is!

- her welcoming personality and willingness to assist us was always a pleasure in the mornings at Calima.

Friendly staff and a nice coffee stand near the lobby heading towards the Pools
Comfortable beds and a nice gym that seemed popular.

So kind, polite, and extremely attentive.

We love Playa Grande - the staff are amazing, the rooms and grounds are clean and nice, and the location is great -

Our 2024 started off being taken care of by so many of Playa Grande’s attentive staff!

The service is exceptional—our poolside severs  were Miguel, Fernando, and Ramon…all were terrific: attentive, friendly, and accommodating.

His service went above and beyond, ensuring every detail was taken care of.

The desk clerk said that there were no Junior Suites that I had reserved available.

the employees were fantastic and some of the nicest people ever.

The staff are exceptional, friendly and very efficient.

He was friendly and attentive, a great sense of humor and had good suggestions when we asked for some!

The wait staff make the trip, Cesar, Big Jose at Calima had dinner and drink always ready for us.

He was spot on, very accommodating and his service was quick!

The resort is a 25 minute walk from here to the other side of the marina and another 10 minutes to a great sandy beach by the old cannery.

Easy access to everything you need such as great restaurants, bars, beaches, mall and grocery stores.

Great for down town fun or relaxing on the beach.

Centrally located with an easy access to the best restaurants, coffee places, Medano beach, marina and shopping centers.

You can walk to just about every excursion, store, restaurant and beach from this beautiful resort right on the marina.

And the beach at 9 am is a private oasis.

It's right on the Marina and an easy walk to all Cabo has to offer- the Marina, mall, downtown nightlife and Medano Beach.

We were in room 305 with a marina view on the 3rd floor.

Marina Fiesta is a great resort, centrally located, close to town and beach.

I spent all my money at the beach, and other hotel restaurants and one restaurant at the marina.

The hotel was within walking distance of Medano Beach, lots of restaurants, lots of bars, and shopping.

It's just a few meters away from Medano Beach which has excellent places to eat and a wonderful view!!

It is on a cove and honestly the best beach/water on the stretch of beach.

Great location, just across Marina and 5mins walk to Medano beach..

head out the front gate and your 4 minutes walk to medano Beach.

The hotel is in a very good position with great views over the harbour.

It is without a doubt, my favorite resort in Cabo.

This was our sixth time at Marina Fiesta and it is the best hotel in Cabo.

Marina Fiesta is our # 1 hotel choice in Cabo because of the great, friendly, professional staff,hotel location and it's a well maintained and clean facility.

If you want to find out anything about Cabo places where the locals eat just one of the bag carriers at the main entrance, they know the best places to go to and are not on any kind of commission.

This is an absolutely wonderful place to stay in Cabo!

The weather in Cabo is almost always perfect

Right on the marina in the center of Cabo.

Been coming to Cabo for 24 years and have always stayed at the MF.

Our favorite place to stay when in Cabo, the staff treats us line family!

This is such a lovely spa, and a wonderful, peaceful getaway from the chaos that Cabo San Lucas can be.

Their service made it so I will gladly return to Cabo and stay at Marina Fiesta again.

While Cabo has grown substantially, this resort is a hidden jewel at the marina.

This is the place to stay in Cabo because unlike other all inclusives most of the people that eat at the restaurants aren't staying at the hotel and stilll pay to eat there due to the location and quality of food.

We love Cabo.. Irma, Gabriel and Anjel were amazing!

Make sure  you check your bill, I was overcharged by a substantial amount for services not provided and for a restaurant that somehow increased the tip I gave them.

Each guest is also given a pool towel card.

Had to wear wristbands entire time with little card attached to open room door and show guard at gate we belonged at resort--annoying and felt like they distrusted guests.

I have opened a dispute with the credit card company.

Later we were charged for 2 and when I questioned it they said she had ordered 2.

The charges was per night for the person.

There is a charge (5.00) charge for room cleaning, and a charge for wi-fi,

However, upon checking in, I was informed that a group of people outside were waiting to give me a towel card.

When you check in they'll ask you how often do you want your room to be made up and they charged 5 bucks for each time -- fair enough.

Oddly enough, the same people who had issues with their room card had the same bedding issues too!

Asked for compensation was offered $40 credit at spa. Refused.

Extra charges and refunds not fulfilled 
Dirty rooms in need of lights / plumbing and paint etc 
Large hot tub smelled like septic so bad you could not sit near it , at all.

but it would be charged, they will give a 20% discount?????

Watch out for the up charges at the bars.

but i just told them in a hurry and they gave me the towel cards.

I  will say I'm greatful that we were not stranded with no room and hotel gave $200 room credit to help make up for inconvenience.

They were charging $38 per person if you had not purchased it with the package.

They charged me $160 US Dollars for the remaining 4 nights.

Hotel was super close to the marina and restaurants.

The marina is busy and always interesting.

We had a good time we were with the winners and if you want a great location, have a good time check out fiesta Marina, and play games with Hugo.

We loved the convenience of walking on the marina for lunch and dinner.

We really liked being in the Marina area and the location is what we enjoyed the most.

Located right on the Marina & convenient to many restaurants & activities!

We had a suite with a lovely view overlooking both the pool and the marina.

but we had never stayed at the Marina Fiesta, and we had never stayed on the marina.
