Hilton Los Cabos Beach & Golf Resort

We just did our first Costco Travel Trip to the Hilton Los Cabo’s Mexico. We had a great trip. We upgraded to the Altamar package. Our room was stocked daily with beer water, small snacks and beverages. We had breakfast included ($12.00 tip for two) so we combined eating breakfast and lunch most days. The food is rather expensive but well worth it! Everyone at the Hilton was Extremely and helpful. Thanks to Elena Macedonia for great omelets. Shout out to waiters J. Carlos and Alejandro Benita at Talavero for great service. Also Jorte was a great waiter along with Miguel and Mario. We took a side trip to Flora Farm for dinner one night. We took a cab for $100. He waited at and took us home after dinner. It was so wonderful, and magical. If you go on a Tuesday or Saturday get the fried chicken . Music was great and service excellent. This was a great trip. Go early so you can walk around the farm with shops, ponds, produce, turtles and other wildlife.

There were many wonderful things about this Hilton hotel; let's start with the employees. Everyone we interacted with, from housekeeping to the front desk staff, the concierges, bell hops, pool and restaurant staff were all professional and helpful. Our room was very spacious, and housekeeping did an outstanding job. The pool area was well maintained and the pool temperature was great. The gym, though not that large, was clean, well maintained and all the workout equipment worked fine. The breakfast buffet was outstanding! The coffee was excellent, 3 choices of juices everyday. You could get fresh fruit, eggs or omelets as well as numerous Mexican favorites and other dishes like hash browns or sausages that were available in front of the egg station. My only downgrade there was that the chafing containers that had the side dishes were never very warm, in fact a couple of times I had to tell our waiter that they need to make sure they dishes are warmer; no one likes to eat cold hash browns or enchiladas for breakfast. The one thing I was surprised at and not to happy about the was the $12.00 (U.S) service charge we had to pay everyday for breakfast. This isn't about the actual cost. $12.00 total for two people for a great breakfast is nothing, but when you are told that your breakfast was free with your hotel package you do not expect a bill for it. This issue should be address with management on how they present the cost/surcharges for everything when you are booking your hotel stay. The one issue we had was the lack for available restaurants within the hotel for our stay. We ended going to town almost everyday for dinner since our choices at the hotel were limited. Some of the issues I believe is that they were seasonal or only available on certain days. If you are staying here (especially if you are doing all-inclusive) I would highly recommend that you find out which restaurants will be open/available during your stay before you book. We went at an off-season time and this could be an issue when this hotel is packed during high season. Overall it was a great stay!

The Mrs. and I came here for our 20th Anniversary. After reading several reviews, we opted for the "Altamar" package, and I'm glad we did, as it's completely worth it. Here's a detailed rundown: TRANSPORTATION: Altamar includes private SUV transportation to and from the hotel. This is so convenient, as you literally walk out of the airport, and go to station 6, and someone is holding a Hilton sign. Grab a Cerveza, hop in the Suburban or Lincoln Navigator, and you'll be at the Hilton in about 30 minutes. CHECK-IN: The Bell Staff will greet you, hold your luggage, if your room isn't ready, and escort you to the Altamar Concierge. Altamar Concierge does reach out to you a few weeks prior to check-in to ask if you have any requests, or want to make reservations at restaurants, the spa, or pool/beach cabanas. With Altamar, you get 20% off on certain services. Fortunately, our room was ready early (approximately 1P). The Bell Staff will take you to your room, and within minutes, someone will be at your door with complimentary Mezcal. So, my wife and I took a shot of Mezcal, and off we went to the pool. LENA: This is the poolside, oceanfront restaurant and bar. We opted for the swim up bar, and the bartenders are amazing. Beers (Corona family only) run $9USD. Margaritas are about $15 for house. For just a $6 upcharge, you can get premium Tequilas such as Don Julio. The cocktails here are much better than in the US, as it's not a bunch sweet crap, and damn good- which resulted in zero hangovers. The food at Lena is also very good. We tried the shrimp tacos, and the Sea Bass tacos were phenomenal. We didn't try the wood fire pizzas, but other guests raved about how good they were. I'm forgetting several names, but the servers and bartenders at the pool that went above and beyond: 1. David. This guy is amazing, and offered great food/drink recommendations. He buts his hide off, and is a very cool young man. 2. Diego. Again, a very friendly, and hardworking young man. 3. Jesus. I think he's the Bar Manager. We were amazed at how tight of a ship he runs here, and he never hesitated to jump in, and work his *** off, to assist his employees, or the guests. He's an extremely valuable asset to this property. I would also like to add that that everyone seemed to get along, and enjoy their jobs. Unfortunately, we don't see this work ethic in the US. VELA: This is the on-site Italian restaurant. We had a poolside table, and the service was spot on. The food was good, but we weren't wowed, so to speak. No complaints though. TALAVERA: Again, part of the Altamar package, gets you free breakfast. Well, free minus a $6 per person surcharge, and of course, you should tip. So, my wife and I spent $22 combined each morning, which I thought was a bargain. The food options were expansive, and so fresh. SOTOL: This is the Lobby restaurant and bar, with amazing oceanfront, and pool views. The drinks and food were always good here, and the bartenders were top notch, regardless of what you ordered. Again, we're forgetting names, but Gerrardo, and especially Ivan went above and beyond. Ivan made such a huge impression on my wife and I with his knowledge, and the top level of customer service. His work ethic is second to none, and the Hilton is fortunate to have him. ROOMS: We stayed in Room #5044, which is listed as an "oceanview" suite, but in fact, it's oceanfront, and has about as good of a view as you can get. Rooms were spacious, and clean. We would consider a plunge pool suite next time, as those looked very cool. POOLS: Views for days. Seriously, there is not a bad view from any pool, or hot tub. And, clean! The staff works hard maintaining a clean, and enjoyable environment. I would also like to add- the grounds crew here kept the resort in impeccable shape. The attention to detail was impressive. I'm sure that I'm forgetting certain aspects of our stay, but if you ask, "would we stay here again?" Most definitely!

We enjoyed our stay at the Cabo Hilton. The last time we were in area we stayed at the One and Only Palmilla but the adult pool/bar area was being remodeled this trip and so we decided on a lower price point for this late summer trip to celebrate our anniversary. We experienced excellent service from the time we were picked up by the Hotel's transportation service at the airport to the time were were dropped off. I can't say enough good things about the concierge service we experienced as AltaMar guests and so I was surprised to read a recent review from a guest who appeared to visit around the same time were were there who thought the service was lacking and that Lena was closed (see comments on Lena below). We were graciously greeted by several employees when we arrived, including the acting GM. We were quickly escorted back to the private AltarMar guest check in and just as quickly offered and given a very refreshing welcome cocktail. Once checked in by one of our concierges, Emils, we were escorted to our plunge pool room by Amir, who ended up being our concierge our entire six day stay. He explained in detail the services and amenities provided and asked what special arrangements, if any, he could make for us. The room was decorated in celebration of our anniversary, including balloons, towel swan decorations, a complimentary bottle of champagne and chocolates- great touch to start the trip. Through direct communications with both Emils and Amir, via text or email, they set up all of our dinner reservations, both on and off property, our daily coffee service and nightly turn down service. Amir and Emils, our concierges, were fantastic. Pool service at the adult pool was great. And even though were didn't order much food or cocktails during the day around the pool, the servers were always quick to refresh our ice bucket and water, or rearrange our umbrella. George, the primary pool supervisor/attendant, was always welcoming and friendly. The food and service at all of the restaurants was good. I was skeptical of the breakfast buffet, but it was excellent. Fresh fruit, juices, smoothies and Mexican style breakfast offerings. However, you could also get made to order eggs or omelettes if you preferred. Our concierges went above and beyond to let each restaurant know we were celebrating a wedding anniversary and so each restaurant at dinner did something a little extra for us (even when we ate off property at The Palmilla and Las Ventanas). Another very nice touch. The service and food at Lena on property were excellent. We ate their two nights during our stay, a Thursday night and the following Monday night, the last night of our stay. The pasta and appetizers were fresh and delicious. On the Monday night dinner, there was a piano player inside who provided a very pleasant ambiance to the outdoor eating area that also fortunately had ceiling fans to keep you cool during the hot summer evenings. All in all, for the price point, I rate the hotel five stars. While it's not the Palmilla, it is also a fraction of the cost. For those reasons and the reasons listed above, I would recommend it to any couple looking to get away and enjoy a nice quiet trip with good service and food, at a reasonable value. Antonio Burgarin, the new GM, will also continue to improve upon their excellent service and amenities and so I am certain we will return in the future.

Just returned from a 6 night stay at the Hilton Los Cabos - The Good - This resort is clean and well maintained, the breakfast option is excellent with many options to choose from which will get your day off to a great start. The pools at the Hilton are also very refreshing and inviting with the adult pool being our favorite to relax in while watching the ocean waves crashing into the rocks protecting the beautiful cove. The Bad - The evening restaurants on-site - Lena in particular which is advertised on the Hilton web page to be open on Sunday, Monday and Thursday was not open for our entire 6 night stay. We had dinner off the Hilton property several nights due to very limited restaurant selection at this resort. One point to note is there is no night time entertainment at this resort, no live bands, no piano player at dinner and not much of anything to do after 5:30 PM - Couldn't even get a gelato ice cream cone to enjoy in the evening. Sorry we are closed - oh did I mention at 5:30 PM. One last thing - If you have been an AltaMar guest and Hilton member for several years as we are, don't expect a welcome drink when you arrive. Very disappointing especially when you have traveled 3000 miles to relax and refresh.
