Really nice pool, bar, restaurant and the beach is amazing. 5 star cleanliness. The only issue we had was a 5 day stay with no hot water in the shower. It was reported with no follow up. I would have given 5 stars across the board if they would have taken care of it. If they communicated back with me I would have given the staff 5 stars

Overall the pool area was nice, kid friendly access, grounds were clean. Our room was dirty, mold growing on ceiling of our bathroom, damaged tiles in our bathroom that were jagged and unsafe, room had a very bright television outside of it that lite it up at night. We were moved to a different room the following day which was better. Food menu was kid friendly but pricing was not, expect to pay $75 CDN for family of 4 (breakfast) and dinner was $150 . They need a kids menu option and more affordable options for breaky. Service was great, staff is friendly and helpful. I would not stay here again.

Great location right on the beach. You are really paying for the location. This is a very quiet hotel and community in general located about an hour from Cabo. The restaurants they have offered a variety of options and the staff at the restaurants were very friendly and accommodating. It was a little cooler and windier during spring break than Cancun. The gym was closed during our stay with no alternative options offered. They do suggest a 10 percent gratuity for the entire stay, which seems high. I’d recommend this property for travelers looking to be away from the hustle of Cabo.

We stayed there for a week, and everything was ready and clean when we arrived. Each day, we were given two bottles of water, which was a nice touch. The pool and hot tub area were always clean and well-maintained, and there was never any noise after 10 p.m.—even before that, it was pretty quiet. The best part was being right on the beach with easy access. It made our stay really relaxing.

The property seems as if its hey day has passed. The rooms are ok but there were issues with small bugs. The common areas are somewhat kept up but the small pool in the garden area was never cleaned or operational but it didn't have a sign stating it was closed only staff sayin when asked that it wasn't operational. The rinse shower from the beach is barely operational b/c the handles fall off the valves.
Not having complimentary coffee or a way to get ice for the room seemed cheap.
The inability to charge dining or other items to the room besides the pool bar is inconvenient.

We were there for the music festival and it was fantastic. The hotel did a great job of providing the venue for a terrific event. The location of the property is on a beautiful stretch of the beach where we enjoyed a nice early morning walk. On a negative note, our room floor was dirty. I could feel the dirt on my feet as I walked barefoot....very gross! We had breakfast at the hotel restaurant but as the 4 wheel drive vehicles(dune buggies) raced by the property a cloud of dust covered our table and food....I'll probably upgrade to a nicer hotel next time in LB.

Don't be fooled by the response to this review. This hotel is quick to respond to poor reviews as if they care about your stay, but that is not the case. The room was full of an ant/termite type bug? The bed was awful the pillow was a sheet, the food was very expensive and awful. If you want to lay on the beach, you will need to pay 25.00 to rent an umbrella and a chair. I was unable to stay the second night of a four night stay. I communicated to the front desk that I was unable to stay another night and I was told that they would refund the three nights. When Travelocity called the front desk they refused to refund the three nights but did refund two of them. They claimed that we took a tour and used that as an excuse to not refund the three nights. We never took a tour? We were not expecting a 5 star experience but we were not expecting a total disregard for hygiene and such poor customer service?

The food and drinks on site were very expensive. I would not purchase food or drinks if I stayed there again. Coffee was $5 each and not great. Free coffee in the morning would have gone a long way in wanting us to visit again. We could have bought a coffee maker and saved money over our 7 day stay.

My husband, dog and I stayed in Hotel Palmas de Cortez in December 2023. The ground floor room was a little older but very clean and well maintained. The breakfast which was included and made to order (Mexican and North American dishes) was fantastic and the restaurant is right on the beach with outdoor tables on a deck. The front desk, cleaning and restaurant staff were all very friendly and helpful and they were super welcoming to our dog. We were able to walk to great restaurants for dinner along the beach a couple of times and had a glass of wine and a beer at a scenic bar on the water that was associated with the hotel.

We enjoyed a one night stay in early December. The front desk and restaurant staff were very friendly and engaging. Overall the hotel room was very nice and the ocean view was worth the extra cost. The bathroom and overall size of the room was very comfortable. The resort clean and well kept, but certain aspects were dated, and the landscaping lighting at night could really use an upgrade. Much of the service and amenities were closed, as occupancy seemed very low. The front desk provided hours of operation for the restaurants and bars, but then never opened, such as the sushi restaurant we hoped to dine at or the snack bar. We’d stay again.

This property seems a little neglected and maybe of poor construction. The positives - we had a beautiful view from our room and a balcony overlooking the pool and ocean, it was not crowded, nice looking tennis courts, free and secure parking. Negatives - no hot water in the shower, and shower turned off completely several times while using, unheated and dirty pool, very loud late parties at the bar near pool, and poor noise proofing in rooms, no coffee maker in room, and no free coffee available in lobby. That is criminal.
