Hacienda Beach Club & Residences

Had a fabulous dinner for 10 people. Seabass was to die for. Shrimp Diablo amazing. Beautiful restaurant overlooking Sea of Cortez. Atmosphere amazing. Very Romantic but extremely comfortable with beautiful views. Will be a new stop for us in future.

My husband and I, along with a college friend of ours, decided on a long weekend trip to Cabo to celebrate my 45th bday. While August tends to be a hot time in Cabo, staying at the Hacienda Beach Club made for a cool, relaxing and refreshing vacation. We stayed in an expansive and well-appointed 3 bedroom luxury condo with a breathtaking view of the Sea of Cortez and the Land's end. The unit was truly a home away from home with all the amenities to make our stay comfortable and worry free. The infinity pools and beach were a short walk from the condo and of course easily reached by golf cart as well. The staff was ever polite, professional and very friendly from our very first "hola" at the reception area. We made our way easily to the surrounding Tacquierias and restaurants by foot. We also visited El Arco and the nearby Marina and Puerto Paraiso mall by water taxi that was easily arranged by the beach side concierge. We had a truly memorable stay and wouldn't hesitate to return.

First time visit to Cabo, this was our wish list: * 5-star resort * In town location so we could walk to the nightlife * Swimmable beach From what I researched, The Hacienda is the only 5 star resort on the swimmable beach. This is important because while a resort may be listed as "ocean front" you CANNOT go into the water. Currently the resort is under construction, building adjacent residences on the opposite side of the resort. No discount pricing because it is a non issue. We never noticed any construction noise even when poolside. Management erected a mesh fence around the massive construction site decorated with swaying palm trees. Cute detail. The resort itself is small - which is a good thing - and it seems that most of the condos are privately owned. The design of each of the 5 buildings provides a tremendous amount of privacy both in the hallways and also when outside on your own private enormous decks. In August, there were very few guests, but the resort DID NOT cut back on staff, so we always had someone available to cater to our every need. The staff at The Hacienda is terrific in comparison to peer resorts. I was in contact with the concierges many times, and could not believe how great it was to work with all of them. Small resort with 7+ concierge on staff 24/7. We were all so impressed with the consistently high caliber of staff in every position. Thank you all so very much!! Being a closed beachfront resort, there is tight security both at the two entrances and at the beach exit points, which is a very good idea. Between us parents and our two young adult/teenage children, we took advantage of every amenity the resort had, and everything we did was top notch. As promised, the resort is beach front, and very few if any "vendors" are hawking their wares on this stretch of the beach. The two pools are adjacent and pretty. The pool bar is not a swim up bar, but it is less than 3 small steps from the pool as is the restaurant. With so many staff waiting to help, drinks and food is just a whisper away. The other guests ranged from parents with adult kids to parents with babies to gals celebrating together. Everyone was clean cut & well mannered too. Classy group of guests having fun without bothering their neighbors. We ate and drank almost exclusively at the resort and loved what we ordered. Delicious, fresh and timely. There are multiple golf carts to take you to and from your condo to anywhere else on property. The condo we stayed in is located in building 5, farthest from the pool/restaurants, but nothing is too far away ;-)! We took advantage of the resort doing some light grocery shopping for us, so when we arrived our wine was in the fridge and the fresh fruit was on the counter. The famed nightlife is walking distance from the resort too! As a persnickety traveler who has yet to vacation in the same place twice, I have to say there is a really good chance that we will come back to Cabo and stay again the The Hacienda.

Third time to Cabo and we will stop looking for a new place to stay cause we have officially found it! This property has it all....best beach, best location and best amenities. Location is a big selling point for me as I hate having to take transportation everywhere while on vacation. No need for transportation here except to and from the airport. This resort is next to the marina with the most beautiful views of Lands End right from the pool, beach or your ocean view room. It is a very short walk to some of the best restaurants in Cabo like Edith's and the Office...just a block away. Did I mention the view? It is breathtaking and you will never get tired of it from any spot at this resort. The 2 pools were great and not crowded at all in August (albeit a little warmer than I like for August). Service was good around the pool and the food was excellent. Service was outstanding at the on site restaurant along with the food. The only drawback I found was the construction going on next door which is a part of their expansion that will last a year or so. It was minimal though and they did their best to ensure it was not disruptive to the guests. Overall, we loved this property and cannot wait to return here.

Nicest hotel on Medano Beach... rooms are posh, clean and large. Staff is great and food was delicious! Close to party spots like the Office and Mango deck if you want a break from the serenity of the hotel. Cannot recommend highly enough!
