Once inside, you are literally in paradise, with birds chirping, shade, hammocks, other small artsy details, pink flowers bursting with color, and a breakfast to die for!

The grounds and pool are a tropical oasis of lush vegetation with beautiful birds and charming lighting.The rooms are delightfully decorated in classic Mexican tiles, gorgeous hammocks and a thatched roof.You get great value here ;The breakfasts are mind blowing and would be $30 elsewhere.

Breakfast each day was just as good as previous reviews had said.

The breakfast is delicious with fresh fruits, juice, pancakes, eggs and coffee unlimited.

The Bungalows is a terrific bed & breakfast we discovered 12 years ago & were very happy to stay at again recently!

Aly serves breakfast personally and accommodated my gluten-free diet with eggs and tortillas.

were beautiful, breakfast was amazing, and the staff was wonderful, especially Aletse.

Breakfast is included and different every day.

The room was comfortable and daily breakfast was great.

We looked forward to each morning with a wonderful cup of coffee, fresh juice and a fantastic breakfast.

The homemade breakfasts are amazing each morning.

The great hospitality, delicious breakfast, & tropical grounds have stuck in my mind.

Erik and the chef also prepare an amazing breakfast in a relaxing environment.

She makes the breakfast for you (included) and helps check you in.

The Bungalows tries to get to know you, and they try to have a different breakfast every day while you are there.

The rent comes with an amazing breakfast that is served in an outdoor palapa.

A fun alternative is to walk to the marina (10 min walk) and pay $10 for a water taxi to take you to the lovers/ divorce beach.

This was well worth it as we got a tour around to Divorce Beach on the Pacific side and of course, the Arch.

On the other side is the Pacific Ocean,well known as divorce beach.

Stayed two nights at Bungalows and was rewarded with two sleepless nights due to an insanely loud barking dog.

but far enough that you can't hear the noise of the party scene (though there are quite a few barking dogs and one enthusiastic crowing rooster in the neighbourhood).

Minor stuff: Night noise from dogs and discos, sluggish wifi.

..
You will hear morning birdsong, dogs, cats, children's voices from nearby schools and yes, some neighbours partying and singing into the night,

Only minor downside: there are dogs barking at night

An occasional dog barking and the roosters crow much worse in Key West!!!

It will be helpful to bring ear plugs since a few nights there were dogs barking in the neighbourhood and it got a bit noisy!

Barking dogs, roosters calling and birds chirping loudly at 630 am.

Overall we really liked The Bungalows, especially the proximity of the hotel to everything you might want to do in Cabo. Our only issue was that we are both light sleepers and the city noise (trucks, dogs barking, etc.)

As to the bad reviews on this site - they complain of mosquitoes, dogs, small furniture.

It is also in a residential area, so one also has to contend with dogs barking, roosters crowing in the early morning, and people talking and laughing loudly.

Oh - don't miss out on Valentina the giant dog who lounges in the office.

but do know that the sidewalks come and go, and can be very uneven; you can find yourself walking in the street next to trucks, motorbikes and big dogs.

however just be mindful of the fact that there are some stray dogs wandering the streets and some gated also.

We travel with a small portable white noise machine which covered up the barking at night so no problem sleeping.

As stated in a couple of the other reviews, The Bungalows Hotel is located in a small neighborhood and you will hear some dogs barking, cars going by etc.

You do hear some street noise and a few dogs barking once in a while along with a rooster now and then,which I found quaint,

Be prepared for a bit of traffic noise in the evenings and the occasional dog barking

There is no radio and the television does not get local channels,

Potential guests should also be advised that there are no televisions which may be seen as a plus for some and not so much so for others.

The only "drawback" is that there are no TVs.

Although there is no cable, there is a large selection of movies at the front desk.

Also of note - I'm not sure if I should have expected there to be NO TV.

The televisions are used for watching DVDs only,

The place does not have cable, and we don't normally watch TV while on vacation,

but we couldn't get the tv and dvd player to work.

TV for dvd's only, no cable or satellite.

but larger hill en-route
No TV service, just DVD
Bottled water only, tap water not for drinking
No safe in room, no deadbolt just keyed handle lock

The only TV is in the living room and we don't lay in bed to watch movies.

The only downside (although this was a bonus in my opinion) was that the TV didn't have any channels,

Food great Servers in the buffet ( Emmanuel ) and Restaurants ( Evelyn ) were excellent and over the top friendly and ambitious.

We had fresh, delicious food daily and our rooms were being cleaned daily.

The staff were attentive, resort/ room clean, and buffet was delicious!

If you come visit you must ask.for Aldo's section in the buffet it is so much fun and he makes sure your always happy.

We had a variety of food options for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Shout out to Cesar in the buffet dining room.

Buffet was exquisite such an incredible variety of food.

The food at the Italian restaurant seemed to be mainly recycled from the buffet, with an added on entree.

We also went inside for the buffet; once again the food was amazing, especially the stir fries!

The buffet selections and poolside food offerings at Pepe's made lunches and breakfasts as casual and comfortable as you would like.

So for breakfast and lunch it is just the buffet.

The buffet offered something for everyone!

The main buffet was 85 percent mexican food which i dont eat then 10 percent spice which i cant eat so i had 5 percent of food that i could eat.

The specialty restaurants were really good and the buffet had lots of choices.

The Japanese specialty restaurant is a MUST try and the buffet was pretty good.

The breakfast and lunch buffets are what you expect.

Overall I would say that is the place to eat! If you go to Cabo you absolutely must take a boat tour over to "Lovers Island" and "Divorce beach."

Recommend the short boat ride to The Cabo Arch at Lovers Beach and Divorce Beach.

We took a water taxi to the rocks and arch, highly recommend going to Divorce Beach there as the beach is beautiful.

Saw sea lions, lovers and divorce beach where we got out for an hour and enjoyed a swim.

Sea Lions, whale watching and more from the beach out there called Lover's Beach and Divorce Beach.

but always had exhaust fan noise from 8 am to 8pm.

We didn’t sit on the beach during the day just at sunrise, so we didn’t have to worry about the constant pressure sales.

Construction noise was annoying and prevented me from a relaxing massage.

but they are not easy to hear around the hotel, and heard of several rooms who could not hear these announcements at all.

The booze was constantly flowing and it wasn't a constant party every night

PROS: GREAT VIEWS (that's it)
CONS: NO RUNNING WATER, NO AC, HORRIBLE FOOD, WATERED DOWN DRINKS, NOISE ALL NIGHT, FLIES EVERYWHERE, CHILDREN'S RESORT CONNECTED, BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE, NO RESOLVE OR COMPS OFFERED FOR BAD SERVICE, HOT WATER IN POOLS, NO COOL RELIEF ANYWHERE.

but these were constant and were pushing drugs.

The restrooms on the resort were horrendous, people were using the bathrooms and there was urine and feces everywhere.

My husband is a plumber and if you don’t hear air when you turn the faucet, there’s no water.

But because the air conditioner being so loud you couldn't hardly hear the TV anyway.

My only thing is that while in your room, you can hear all the noise from the hallways, including the doors constantly closing, and the people being loud in the hallways as well as the nighttime entertainment, I wish there was a way to soundproof them more.

This place reeks of a spring break party atmosphere with constant, constant noise and ridiculously loud music at all hours of day and night.

But if it was off, you could hear either pool or show noise like you were right there.

If I had my family at the other resort, I would be pissed to have the loud noise and experience around my kids.

Because after many calls to the hotel property, RIU.com, and Priceline I have been unable to get any sort of refund on a trip canceled by my airline due to Cabo runway damage.

Note this is a large U shape resort and you can hear music like an amphitheater
•	English is universal here,

We came to our room to rest after a long day of traveling and could hear people yelling and screaming through the hotel.

Buffet breakfast was delicious and great service from Umberto!

Breakfasts are amazing (come with your stay) and we were in walking distance of EVERYTHING!

We opted for the breakfast package and were not disappointed.

Breakfast has good selections, lunch and dinner menus were great.

Big thanks to Jessica, Gerardo and Carlos for making great breakfast for us.

At check-in, breakfast buffet, towel counter, and the Aura Spa, I encountered only amazingly kind and helpful people.

I would say the all inclusive option is well worth it because the food is amazing and the drinks were strong and yummy.

highly recommend the made to order breakfast each morning with servers Gerardo and Jessica.

Clean, great view of the marina, efficient desk operation, and that fabulous breakfast buffet.

Breakfast’s were great and with a wide variety of foods.

The pool view is fantastic and the included breakfast buffet is just perfect for fueling you up before a day of whatever you choose to do.

even though it was pre paid, with multiple ‘add ins’ and two attempted card scans which we stopped.

Management team did not do what they said they were gonna do with credit and meds.

In conclusion, I urge you not to stay at the Tesoro during hurricane season, as they will provide the bare minimum of services while charging you the full price.

Tried over charging us for extra fees we had already paid for!!

I refused, and after almost an hour of haggling with her, did she give us a $100 room credit.

I am a timeshare owner at tesoro in Cabo San Lucas I wish I had never bought the second set of points it seemed like every other time I go there something goes wrong they'll promise you one thing and turn around and charge you for something they should have never charged you for I'm advising you people take it from a timeshare owner it's better just to find a deal on Google or one of the travel companies than to buy any timeshare there it is absolutely not worth it take it from a timeshare owner

When we went to the desk to verify this was legit (again, trust has tanked), we were told that while most people do credits at checkout,  he could see that our voucher expired that day.

Room keys are old card swipe and had to be rekeyed twice during visit.

The next day we packed up followed those directions and this person was no where to be seen and they refused to refund the balance of the prepaid nights.

I kindly disputed the charge and back and forth a few times until I had to fill out a form for them to remove the water bottle charge, again stupid and waste of time.

Make sure your credit card has no international fees to save more.

When we checked in, they asked for a credit card to hold $50 for incidentals.

They will seriously charge you for anything they can and they believe it is 150% YOUR responsibility to not incur charges, not theirs.

And upon check out I was hit with a $45 charge for “alimentos y bebidas” with no itemization whatsoever.

When she got to the hotel they tried to charge her an additional $600 saying her rate didn't include taxes and fees.

Tereso charged 50 USA dollars a day and  would not considered to provide a discount.

The only complaint is that we got charged for a small bottle of water and a soda in the mini fridge.

A 4 hour day pass is $35 if you charge in pesos.

Close to the Marina are the famous tourist attractions, Cabo Wabo, El Squid Row, The Giggling Marlin as well as the natural attractions like the ocean, the fishing, the natural rock formations, Lover's Beach, and Divorce Beach.

Water taxi will take you out to the Arch and pass by many rock formations aswell as Lovers Beach (Sea of Cortez side), and Divorce Beach (Pacific Ocean side).

From being greeted with margaritas at check-in to being given a hug on our last day by our wait/table staff person whose dining area we sat in at breakfast every day - this all-inclusive resort was top-notch for our family.

Iris, the breakfast and lunch server, was delightful and joyful!

Stayed over the Christmas holiday and the decorations and Christmas Eve dinner  buffet make it feel very festive and special!

We ate at the buffet most every meal and it was very good.

The food options at the buffet were numerous and very tasty.

Buenos dias!” and her omelettes are fantastic.

The first day here, the housekeeping staff stole my Apple AirPods Pro off the bed.

The negative comments are shocking, the people are amazing, drinks are easy to get, buffet is good, pool is clean and the beach has a good vibe.

Similar to Carnival Cruise food-Typical buffet style food.

A lot of delicious food, we tried every restaurant and some were better than others

Pros: clean room, staff was excellent, pools were good, beautiful beach view, buffet had many options.

The food was good (we enjoyed the buffet and Italian restaurant the most; the steakhouse and Pepe’s was a little disappointing) and the service everywhere we went was top notch.

The buffet dining hall staff were extremely attentive.

During our stay we realized that the buffet at Riu Palace Baja California had more variety so we went there mostly for breakfasts and dinner

The resort is beautiful and the food at the buffet and a-la-cartes was delicious and very nicely presented.

This is your typical RIU with a large buffet.

We took a private yacht tour out of the marina to see the sea lions and the arch, lovers and divorce beach.

The best part about downtown is that you can rent a private nice boat for about $150.00 an hour to take you to the Ach, Lovers, Divorce beach and whale watching or fishing .We did that and it was amazing.

Other things to do in Cabo 5/5: 
Water taxi to lover’s beach/divorce beach/el arco.

Around the property, it seemed to be stronger and more consistent.That is a concern as we were stuck having to do zoom calls in public areas of the hotel for the WiFi and that was not as comfortable.

but you also don’t want to run up your mobile phone bill by using 3G/5G when WiFi ***should*** be PLENTIFUL.

However, my partner got their phone taken from one of the cubbies at the neon party and unfortunately it wasn’t recovered before we had to leave the following afternoon, so I’d suggest keeping anything valuable on you or locked in your room.

My son also stated that when he went to there called the security guy on his personal cellphone..not on the walkie-talkie not on the hotel phone.

She
told the person on the phone that we need both housekeeping AND maintenance.

My friends had to call a pharmacy themselves.

Brother had blood stains on his duvet
- Had to call and ask 3x for a rollaway bed

He calls the front and gets the room number.

We were not allowed out of room come Sat and that was all the food given until 2pm - after numerous calls.

After realizing this I wandered around and asked 3 different security people to let us in our room or at the very least call the front desk to have someone come let us in.

Could not even talk or hear music on the phone.

My only tip would be to upgrade the plugs etc to accomadate phones etc.

Had to call for maintenance to get it unlocked.

There was a sense of dissatisfaction if employees didn’t receive tips for the slightest of actions as calling a cab.

I figured no one was taking me seriously so I did not want to call and instead just went there.

I attempted to call the front desk 5x from the phone in our room without any success.

Before then my phone was turned off so I was not able to locate it.

- If you are less mobile, please note there are LOTS of stairs to get around here. I would like to note that Nicole tried to make amends for the many issues we had in our room upon checkin by making us a few "reservations" at the specialty restaurant (though getting a table at the restaurants was not hard)

but when 
we opened our doors, we were taken aback by a very strong overwhelming sewer stench in both our 
rooms.

- Moldy bathroom and dirty bedroom furniture.

Rooms showed signs of mold and smell of mildew.

The sheets feel wet and everything smells musty.

The windows, balcony, furniture were left FILTHY!

Just a disgusting experience especially the food.

Smells like sewer really bad and rooms have fallen apart. Beware.

but there are paint chips, chipped wood moldings,cracked tiles, chukcn out of concrete walls, bathroom fans that don't work, etc.

Even the Saxaphone was dripping in sweat which was also not appealing.

Smoking locations are not wheelchair accessible and too remote.

very stiff and questionable and the seafood smelled like it had been left out in the sun for days.

Very warm and smelly elevators, lacking any form of ventilation.

Food lacked flavor, floor in room got my feet dirty when walking barefoot on first day of stay, sometimes it smelled like sewer water in our room and on the atea by the pool, taxi service super high compared to local rates

but since there was no exhaust fan in the bathroom, the room felt musty and a bid humid.

They shouldn't put the smoking station by the swim up rooms that people pay more money for!

but our neighbor smoked on his balcony, there was someone by beach washrooms smoking, guests on ground floor with pools attached smoked in their pools and a few poolside smokers trying to be sneaky.

We'll just open the balcony door and enjoy some fresh air since the room was musty smelling anyway.

but everything was buffet style, except the steak restaurant.

Also most of the women waiters were a lot more kindly and professional during breakfast and throughout the day.

but I believe I got food poisoning from their Christmas Eve Buffet half way through my trip that I'm still dealing with 4+ days later.

The drinks were delicious the pool was clean and the views were spectaluar.

Pros- 
beautiful pools and lots of them
Amazing views- breath taking
Lots of chairs
Fun activities
Rooms are cleaned daily 
Excursion Team for Amstar is very helpful
Rooms are very spacious and nicely decorated
Great air conditioning 

Cons
Mostly buffet- average quality and so many flies-everywhere
Short staffed- food is very slow, buffets run out and they are very slow to replace the food
The entertainment is below average.

If you do get tired of the buffets you can go to one of the a la carte restaurants on site.

A few shout outs, Avilena the waitress at the buffet was exemplary, made sure we never needed anything.

First, the food in all 3 buffets were tasteless and cold.

the food overall was delicious BUT they have buffets in some of the ala carte restaurants, not waiter service, and NO poolside waiter drink service which was very disappointing.

Overall the property has everything: 6 or 7 pools, 5 or 6 restaurants and the buffet offered plenty and various foods to satisfy everyones needs.

As with many resorts we've been to the a la carte restaurants varied in quality and occasionally we'd go to a buffet later in the evening - buffets were consistently good.

The buffets were all we experienced because we were only there three nights and had other excursions.

Food was delicious - had read some reviews that there wasn't a lot of variety - didn't find this at all.

Everywhere is clean except the flys on the food in the buffet.

The buffets had lots of choices of fresh, healthy foods for all diets.

As for restaurants, stick with the buffets, because of a great variety of options.
