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.

The accommodations were beautiful, the staff were attentive and friendly, the views were gorgeous.

We had taken Jr Suite Ocean Front room which was good

Who would pay extra for that crappy view?

Pools with views of the El Arco rocks was great even when the cruise ships were in.

There was a gorgeous view from the pool and the Jungle Party was definitely something I will never forget!

We were upgraded from partial ocean view to oceanfront.

I don't have many positives to say about my stay, The pools were nice and the view was great (unless cruise ships were blocking the view, which most days there were).

• location was nice and convenient
•Amazing views
•The foam party was awesome

Still not worth how much they charge.

The location,  the views,  the food,  the adult only atmosphere,  the quiet,  the pools,  the resort staff like Yaquelin at the Coffee Shop and everyone we met were fantastic.

The building, the set up, the view, food, all of it was spectacular,

The facilities, the views were awesome, beautiful,  and picture perfect!

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).

Beds were comfortable, gorgeous views had a great time with my husband.

Room size is good and the view from the balcony is amazing.

The pool bar made great drinks and the hot tubs overlook the marina.

There is also a beautiful and memorable view of the marina with many boats.

Would recommend avoiding the "no view" rooms as these do not have windows that open and the view is to high-traffic internal hallways.

Nice room with amazing view of the Marina.

The room was spotlessly clean with a perfect view of the marina.

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

View is great, if you’re on the marina side.

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.

The foos  is great and we love the proximity to ocean activities and all the bars and restaurants.

We picked it for its walkable location and scenic views.

The views of the Marina and downtown area are great.

It’s the best part with all the sea lion action.

me and my friend wanted to do a photo shoot at lovers beach and divorce beach and it was incredible.

While Casa Dorada does offer a 2 for 1 special on alcoholic drinks on Tuesdays from 11am-12pm and 3-4pm, the drinks are very expensive.

I will join others in saying Casa Dorada Los Cabos Resort and Spa is OUTRAGEOUSLY expensive.

cabo is just expensive and things like water or coffee are not complimentary.

but not worth the price
Much better deals out there so check around.

This time we noticed a drastic change in room prices as well as food and beverage costs.

They seemed more interested in aggressively selling cabanas at seemingly inflated prices rather than catering to the needs of hotel guests.

but was just okay and if we would have had to pay it would have been almost 100.00 US for two.

We were told it must be purchased from the resort at their exceptional high prices.

However, I am a bit mixed as we had good pool side service along with the food (which is a bit more expensive vs outside the resort).

12 Tribes in particular was absurdly expensive.

My disappointment was the unreasonable increase in food prices.

but this added expense will be a factor in my decision to move my family to another hotel on future trips.

Prices seemed a little outrages, rivaling Vegas at appx $10 a beer and $20 for a mixed drink!

It costs a little more than some of places I had researched prior to booking

The one area of caution is arrange your own shuttle service to the airport, they will tell you taxi  prices are one price then bate and switch you then you are stuck because you trusted their advice.

but they did a 100% increase in food and beverage prices.

My only criticism would be the would be the high cost of food and beverages at the hotel.

If there was a downside, drinks are very expensive poolside.

LOCATION: the resort’s website seems to leave out that the hotel is nestled next to a night club…the beach in front of the resort is a constant party scene with blaring music and relentless vendors often times trying to sell inappropriate merchandise to children.

Every time someone would flushed their toilet, the jet tub would make a gargling sound.

Our room was directly across from one of the busier clubs and with your patio sliding door closed you could barely hear anything.

The nightlife in the area might be a little noisy for early risers,

The pre recorded artificial crowd noise got old quick.

Everything was 5 stars except for the loud noise from the club a few doors down.

It was non stop noise for morning to night.

The rooms were very sound proof as well, we never heard any hall our outside noise.

The only negative is that there is a bar close by (Mango Deck) that is a little loud at night

Our door opened up to the sounds and smells of the hotel trash and parking.

Along with the umbrellas & chairs there is a near constant stench of weed.

Since you're in the middle of a popular area, it can be a little noisy at night from clubs nearby,

The only minor issue was the somewhat loud noise and music coming from the Mango Deck (the beach club bar adjacent to the property).

It does get active and loud in that area,

There are several popular restaurants/beach clubs surrounding the resort that can get a little loud.

However, it is awful if you are looking for anything like a quiet get-away.

There are buildings that block the view of the Sea of Cortez from the 1st floor.

Casa Dorada is one of only few resorts in Cabo where you can swim in the see with beautifull view of famous rocks formation.

Incredible views from both the beach and the pool.

The room was amazing, possibly the best I’ve ever stayed in and the views were incredible.

We are beach people as we love being by the ocean and mingle with the vendors when we choose to.

Each morning we had breakfast in the restaurant right at the waters edge and the food and view were wonderful and our waiter - Angel - was great.

Beautiful Ocean Front Resort on one of the few swimmable beaches in Cabo.

We enjoyed swimming in the sea with a beautiful backdrop!

The ocean view was amazing to enjoy from one of the two balconies.

Staff so very attentive and the rooms were BEautiful and the view was breathtaking.

Great view and very clean & friendly resort.

When we were not down swimming in the ocean we made sure to make a few stops to the pool area.

The views are spectacular and the location is the best.

I like to walk to restaurants and not worry about transportation everywhere, I like rooms with a view, and i especially appreciate great staff that make my vacation more memorable.

Overall, I hope to come back, the views and service were top notch.

The venue has a really beautiful view of the ocean and she captured it perfectly.

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.

We were given an ocean view room as an upgrade which had a beautiful view.

Swimming at the beach area was wonderful and the views were breathtaking. Thanks!

but the infinity pool sure made up for it and the scenery is breathtaking.

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

but asked if an ocean view was available during check-in.

It was a beautiful hotel with an amazing view of the ocean.

We were on the ocean/east side of the building, giving us a great view of the sunrise.

but very few are even close to the ocean let alone any ocean view.

I really enjoyed the amazing view from any pool directly by the beach and the ocean and beautiful sunsets over the landscape at Land’s End.

FOUR different themed RIU parties, accessibility to three different locations within strolling distance, (choose your tribe), AND a VIEW that will forever be embedded in the recesses of our minds. #thankyouRIUPalace

The room was amazing, clean, and beautiful with an amazing view of the pools and ocean.

Pools were very nice and views from the resort and beach were nice.

Next to ocean, entry to ocean can be tricky in winter,

The 2 double beds are pushed together to form one big bed with a middle dent and no pull out couch 

Pros:
- Gorgeous views and sunsets 
- Buffet has decent tasting food 
- Abundant poolside seating 
- Cleaning staff always making rounds to common areas 
- give Orlando and Esther raises, they are the only kind people working here we encountered.

It was under construction and WINDY, both of which we didn't expect.

Only to arrive after a long day,  they book you in, then tell you that they are having maintenance issues and they will be sending you to their sister hotel, way out of town,
Stupid expensive, and you are stuck in the middle of no where, and the place is being
Built still so the construction is ridiculous.

but were disappointed this year when we found out the construction of the Grand Solmar has taken away a pool from the Solmar.

Besides wasting the whole afternoon in their crazy shuttle, we wasted the evening trying to fix the air conditioner… (10) By the second day we were there they started construction in 2 rooms, one right by our right and one right by our left.

but "classic"  to the era of construction.

There is construction going on at the resort (even

Not sure if it will ever be the same if and when the construction stops.

Yes, our first room was a bit outdated and unfortunately was right next to/over the construction happening on their new entryway,

Construction was still ongoing at the Solmar,

We moved into a room, that was away from construction noise and had sun.

Another issue was when ever we wanted to take a nap in the middle of the day they had construction going on continuously and the worst part was the Jack hammers.

Despite some negative reviews I read there was hardly any construction noise.

The resort again was inundated with construction noise from the additional lobby work.

Construction going on which was very loud at times.

But more than that, we were given a room (told it was a free upgrade to a special suite, "no extra charge"), only to find a major jack-hammering construction project was going on right outside of our balcony, 10 hours a day.

Because of construction, we were relocated to the Playa Grande from the Solmar Resort and Beach Club.

The beds were comfortable and I did not hear any of the construction noise others have mentioned.
