This was the best place to stay. From when you walk in and smell the amazing clean hotel scent, to the best check-in and the housekeeping is the best. They accommodate anything you need and are incredibly kind. Both the Cabo Wabo and Surf Hero Market Place was amazing. Angel who works in the Surf Hero was very kind and helpful. 2 min from the ocean. Would stay here again.

We had a great time. However I had 2 separate delivery people tell me the Hilton wouldn’t let them bring my food to the room. This was annoying bc my food got stolen out of the lobby on the second time I ordered it. The staff acted like it was my fault.

The property was very nice and the staff in room were exceptional. I did feel there was a lot of added extra costs that were not explained until I got home and called. The 300 and some dollars for parking, a couple $20 charges etc.

The pool service was not so good. Sat for an hour before drink service came around, and the restaurant service at Cabo was poor. Our order was brought to us wrong and the eggs had to have been out of a carton. It was a holiday weekend and I think short staffed. Stayed there plenty of other times and not an issue. 🙁

Room was clean and hotel was beautiful… stayed in both towers and they seem the same to me… the Dolphin is just more expensive… the only complaints I might have was the horribly loud music from the pool, all day and then the “club” at night… that was not fun… and housekeeping… I was on vacation… they were trying to touch up the room by 9 am and texting asking if they should just skip the room since we were sleeping… umm… no… but I’m going to sleep in on my vacation. Other than those 2 things… it was a great stay!!

I booked the king studio suite. It had a great view, somewhat spacious. The furniture was a little cluttered, as well as old and worn. The decor needs to be updated. The bathroom is small and needs an upgrade. The amenities are pretty basic. I would say the service is 4 star, but the hotel is more of a 3 star. I think I expected a little better considering it was Hilton. Overall I’ll rate it as average.

My special needs son and I had the best stay at the Waterfront Beach Resort.

We were upgraded to a suite on arrival which was absolutely fantastic! Staff was super friendly and took initiative, anticipating needs. We will definitely return!

The room was not very clean, shower was old and handles loose. Towels were old and not white, mattress had a large wear tear on the corner. Wasn’t up to Hilton standards for sure. Pool was nice and staff there were lovely. Valet team was polite and efficient. Check in staff seemed not happy and quite unhelpful. Likely my last stay at this location.

The people were very nice, and I like how they text you to see if you want your room cleaned later if you sleep in. Location was perfect, and the street wasn't loud. The housekeeping kept our room clean but the towels, coffee etc were never replaced, and I'd have to call. In my opinion, the $55 a day parking fee (forced Vallet) feels like gouging when there aren't other options. Upper-end hotels should have it included in the price. I would stay there again unless the Hyatt was a comparable price.

Great resort with an awesome pool and location. The staff was extremely nice and attentive. The kids loved the water slides and pool toys. Our only complaint was the sofa bed - in my husband's words, it felt like a medieval torture device.
We stayed on the 9th floor in a 1br suite. We were down the hall from the rooftop lounge. The good news is the music shuts down at 8:45. The bad news is loud people tromp down the hallway past your room for an hour after that.

also th hotel doesnt sell wood for the fire pits . but they will start your fire with wood they provide for you on beach for $250 . stuff like that was a turn off .

We had an oceanfront room on the 2nd floor, and it was a beautiful space—clean and well-maintained. We appreciated having water in the fridge, as we usually bring our own. The main pool was lovely, but we couldn't find any seats because they were all taken.

We tried to reserve two lounges in their reserved area with an ocean view for a couple of hours, but it was priced at $250 for two people, which seemed excessive, especially since no one was using them. They should have offered it at half that price; I bet they would have been sold out.

We looked at other hotels in the area, and this is a really nice resort.

We then went to the other pool, but it was quiet since there was no music. The DJ didn’t show up until Sunday.

Everything about this place was beautiful. There was a photo op everywhere you looked. We stayed for one night and my kids wanted to keep swimming the day we had to check out at 11 AM so I went to the reception and asked if we had to leave the premises and they gave me a key to access the pool held my luggage and told me the car can stay in valet until 10 PM that night. Customer service was always great. I asked for towels in the middle of the night and they brought them to me right away. Im definitely coming back.

This is my FIRST public review but I had to notify.

The pre check in process and check in process is absolutely terrible. I’ve now tried three different times / stays after choosing the Pasea previously to make this property work. It doesn’t and the coordination of rooms and requests isn’t worth the hassle. I am a personal and business traveler of Hilton elsewhere and really wanted this to work but it does not. I requested and pre called multiple days in advance on multiple trips stating our family’s arrival time, a crib for the room for our 8 month old, and a hypo allergenic request. I also booked a premium room with extra living room. None of which were ready or prepared on time on 3 separate stays. I’ve honestly never stayed at a property that had a 4pm check in time to begin with but then to have us check in AFTER 4pm with multiple days notice is wild. We stayed for 2 days as a family and didn’t check in until after 4 on our first night…. That’s basically an entirely paid night wasted.

It’s honestly a shame because the staff is great with the exception of the team who prioritize arrivals and requests. I have rated properties globally on behalf of a very trusted organization, and this property would have aggressively failed.

The property did extend credits to us after the fact but I wasn’t expecting anything other than what was promised and expected as a guest.

We’ll be staying next door at the Pasea and if you’re a traveling family. You probably should as well.

This property is in a perfect location which is its major advantage above others in the area. There are a couple of restaurants here which are decent. The strip mall is super close as well with food options. They offer many amenities including ability to rent bikes, boogie boards, umbrellas and fire pits on the beach. The staff who checked us in were friendly and helpful! A shoutout to Chez for checking us in and additionally addressing one issue we did have during our stay this trip. Hotel is relatively close to the airport (25mins) and walkable to the pier and other Main Street attractions. The room we booked is perfect for our family and the pools are great.

We booked an oceanview room and when we checked in, it was on the 3rd floor and blocked by all the palm trees...no view. They moved us on the 3rd night to higher floor and it was much better but we only got to enjoy it for one night. That new room had brown water coming out of the shower, no conditioner and no waste basket liner. The towels were like sandpaper. It really did not feel like a luxury hotel at all.

Got an upgrade from a 1 bed garden view to king suite dolphin tower with ocean view for 250 per night. What they fail to tell u is all the other fees involved. Also, during our 5 day stay the room was not made up twice. Toilet paper and tissue paper was not refilled at all. Management refuses to acknowledge it and kept on saying we had the so not disturb sign on which is totally false. If u wat a relaxful day at the beach and come back to a clean suite this is not the place customer service is one of the lowest for all the hiltons I've been at. Be very careful and think twice before booking if you don't want headaches.
