    Lovely beach for swimming with kids. Showers and bathrooms very clean. Chairs and umbrellas easily available. Lots of locals so it feels less touristy but bring water and snacks as absolutely nothing available there

    Great place to walk and enjoy the atmosphere. The sand is soft. Lots of easy access to the beach. There are lots of restaurants on the beach offering shade and great views. Ther are a lot of vendors walking by but if this annoys you best not to engage. Chairs can also be rented for a beach experience. Very clean.

    Of all the action… many food choices and options are available as you stroll the marina and people watch. Probably take 30 minutes to walk the whole place. Lots of beautiful boats.

    It was a good experience visiting playa del amor (love’s beach) but it is only good for a couple hours at most and for taking some pictures, there is really not much to do there i could call it a short and sweet experience

    This beach is in a cove about 20 minutes north of Cabo. We took an Uber. The beach has a bathroom and an outside shower to rinse off, near the parking lot. Bring shoes, as the beach is very large/long and is mostly a rock/pebble beach. Near and in the water is soft sand rather than rocks. It seems this is a place for boats from Cabo to stop – as when we first arrived, 4-5 boats were anchored offshore. There are also a couple of hotels in the area with seats on the beach for their guests. A few of us went snorkeling near the rocks on the side of the cove and it was fantastic. In addition to a lot of fish, they saw a manta ray and a Morey eel. We left in the evening – and I was wondering how long we would have to wait for an Uber ride back to Cabo. To my surprise an Uber was there in 1 minute.

    Way better than I expected! Easy hike , rewarded w spectacular views. You can definitely go as a family- lots kids maybe 8-10 and up. Plenty of time to soak in the views at the top. The guide is quirky, passionate and lays out the rules clearly at the beginning.
    No advantage getting there early. 15-20$ 30 min Uber from nobu. Rec los claros for lunch at the marina- delicious ! Go on this hike!

    Such a spectacular place to experience, though be very cautious of the waves as they can be very dangerous. The guys on the beach are very helpful to get you and off the boats!

    Although the service was mostly in Spanish, which is expected I enjoyed the experience. What I didn’t like was the guy who approached myself and my husband with a side note (literally) about his wife needing help. He didn’t address anyone else but us because we were the only black American in the church. That was a complete turn off but I gave anyway because of who I am. Just didn’t like feeling like we were played on because we were visiting. Definitely not Christian like! This entire city is full of beggars, it’s hard to enjoy yourself with everyone coming to you with something. Such a turn off!!

    I reallllly enjoyed relaxing here. Cool view and vibe! It was pretty empty, from 7 am -10:30 am. Lots of local guys tried to engage with me - friendly enough, but by the 10th one in 10 mins, as I left. I was getting annoyed. I doubt this would have happened if I wasn’t alone, but I’m alone because… that’s what I want. All safe feeling - just many people wanting to chat. Maybe good if you want that

    We never get tired of visiting Cabo. This trip we took another couple for their first experience at the Hard Rock Hotel. As a Chairman with Legendary, we are treated like royalty. The food is always excellent, the drinks are top shelf liquors, and our Butlers, Josue Raul and Oscar are on top of their game.

    After a quick trip from Dallas, we were greeted by the On Tour Guide for a 40 minute drive through the aired country to the Hard Rock. Once there, we were quickly taken to the Rock Star Suite (room 4441) and given our bracelets which also acts as your room key. Our pool chairs and cabana were already ready with our names posted, and my favorite drink, Grey Goose, tonic, and 2 limes was quickly served. We ate at all the restaurants, visited most of the bars, and met great people from all over the country. Trust me, the Hard Rock Hotel is not like a lot of the other "all-inclusive" hotels. Here, the rooms are clean, the amenities ample, food is excellent, the entire staff friendly and helpful, and at night there are several choices of entertainment from shows to live rock bands.

    This time of year is the migration of whales. We took a private tour with Cabo Adventures and were treated to multiple sightings. Matter of fact, we found a baby, momma, and a would be suiter all together. The baby frequently "breached" its 12ft long body out of the water, but the real treat was when the male suitor breached. These animals are magnificent. Afterwards, we had to run to J&J's for a couple of authentic Cuban cigars, then across the street to Miranda's Jewelry store.

    I highly recommend the Hard Rock Hotel Cabo. Also when booking the trip I also highly recommend Josue Raul and Oscar to be your butlers. Those two set up the restaurants, chairs, cabana, and nightly entertainment for each show for us. It seems that every request was made efficiently and effectively.

    This was a large mall but had a limited number of open stores and restaurants. Too many were closed so hopefully that will turn around. According to the map there also was a casino and a cinema on site.

    The pluses were the Christmas decorations inside and outside. I did visit the inside Chedraui grocery store two times during my stay. It was huge with fresh tortillas made on site, ceviche, baked goods and wide selection of fruit besides the rows of standard grocery items.

    A couple of North American chain stores were sprinkled around but there was not a lot of foot traffic given the proximity next to the Marina.

    Many stalls providing most of the same items. Lots of tshirts, souvenirs, beachy stuff. Vendors were always willing to bargain.
