For most travelers arriving in Baja California Sur, Los Cabos International Airport (SJD) is the primary and most convenient gateway. While it is located in the neighboring city of San José del Cabo, it serves as the main international hub for the entire region and is significantly closer to the tourist center of Cabo San Lucas. If you are seeking speed and directness, choosing SJD is recommended. In contrast, La Paz International Airport (LAP) is located in the nearby city of La Paz and serves mainly domestic flights. Traveling from LAP to Cabo San Lucas is a significantly longer journey that typically requires a three-hour bus ride or a private transfer. LAP is generally only a practical alternative if you are specifically visiting La Paz or have found a significantly lower flight fare that offsets the added ground transportation time and cost. Always prioritize SJD for convenience when traveling to the southern tip of the peninsula.

The resort is beautiful and walking distance to the marina. Great service and the restaurants have delicious food. Nice infinity pool overlooking the beach! The only bummer was they wouldn’t honor my two bedroom that I had reserved through Trip.com. For some reason it came across as only a one bedroom. 3 gals in the room, but we managed with the sofa bed. Otherwise the resort is fabulous!FromUS$106

We’ve stayed a several resorts in Cabo, and this one is the best! The beach is unswimmable due to the undertow, but the water is beautiful and the waves are huge. The resort is immaculate, not a piece of trash anywhere. The rooms are spacious and comfy, and the staff is great. The drinks are pricey if you don’t do inclusive, but they are much better than what you’d normally find at inclusive hotels. Location is far enough away from things that it is quiet and peaceful, but close enough to walk to the harbor or downtown if you want.FromUS$461

Marina Fiesta is an older (somewhat dated) hotel, but is in good condition. PROS: price if you get a super deal like I did; location near the marina, restaurants and shopping.
CONS: probably not worth the higher prices if you don't get a deal. They take all guests to a ”amenities presentation” which is designed to get you to go to a Timeshare prevention. Location is a VERY touristy area, but has good options for eating. Getting room temperature set to comfortable level takes FOREVER and when I arrived it was SUPER cold--finally got it to comfortable but next day housekeeping turned up temp to a very uncomfortable level and it took hours of poor sleep to get to a comfortable level again.
Not a bad option but I would not stay there again unless got another super deal.FromUS$83

We had a wonderful 5-night stay at the Tesoro. Our room was clean and well-equipped. The location right on the Marina is perfect; it's a beautiful setting with lovely views, and it's very convenient for walking around and enjoying the area. The service at the restaurants was quick and efficient and all staff were friendly and kind. We really enjoyed the rooftop area for relaxation as the pool is beautiful with plenty of seating and excellent bar service. We had the breakfast plan and the buffet at the Vista was plentiful with lots of variety; we also had lunch at the Vista a couple of times, and the food was excellent with fair pricing. We wouldn't hesitate to stay at the Tesoro again.FromUS$73

Not a 5 star resort. That's not saying it's not a nice resort, because it is, but 5 star resorts have top notch service. First ding, they don't pick you up at the airport, but you can have them set up transportation for you (at your added expense). The Taxi is $75 each way (I checked Uber and it was $55 and the taxi dude matched that price). We were able to catch a travel van on the way there from the airport for $17 a person. We had an ”executive suite” which was nice, not their best room but probably in the middle. They never changed the bed sheets in the entire 5 day/4 night stay. They made the bed, but never changed the sheets. They have a well stocked fridge and other goodies for a steep price. The problem is moving their crap out if you actually want to use the refrigerator. We were charged ”additional taxes” when we checked out as well. Only like $2-3 a day, but these should have been included in the price. The on-site sushi restaurant was not a good value. They charged us for items we didn't order and watch out for the $4.50 water. Our bill was $200 plus tip for two adults. Each had two margaritas, one appetizer (we had cancled after we told the waiter and he acknowledged, but came anyways) and two entrees. Portions were small, so definitely no ”leftovers”. The good. The included breakfast is excellent. Take advantage of that, eat a late breakfast (breakfast is over at noon, so be there no later than 11am) and that should tide you over until dinner. The location is great. Close to the marina/downtown but just far enough way that it's an easy walk and you stay out of that busyness. Overall, it's a nice 4 star (at best) resort. FromUS$103

A hotel that will also be booked is really great. About 5 or 6 staff members turn around every day. Any need can be handed over to a personal butler. The hotel is very safe. If you don't book, you are not allowed to enter the resort.FromUS$1,024

The hotel is very good. There are three sister stores in total. They are rose, this one and sunset beach. The environment is very comfortable, and the room is also very cool. It is suitable for a family to stay in winter vacation. There are up to six people in a room.Very Good114 Reviews

The room is very spacious, and the balcony leads directly to the swimming pool. The facilities are complete, and the bedding and linens are also very comfortable. The service staff is warm and polite, and the day trip recommended by the front desk is also quite satisfactory. The beach is clean and quiet, the scenery is beautiful, and the holiday atmosphere is full, impeccable. If I have to say something bad, the restaurant has few choices, the dishes are few and the prices are high. But since everything is expensive here, it is still within the normal acceptable range.FromUS$79

We were in Los Cabo for our honeymoon! My wife and I love the sea and therefore had several activities planned in Cabo San Lucas which originated from the Marina. When we did our research Breathless came up as the best choice based on location as well as comfort.
We arrived quite late at night but the xhale staff were on hand waiting for us to check us in. They took care of all our questions and requirements. The staff overall over the length of our stay were awesome! Special mention to Chris from the entertainment team.
The food was decent and restaurant staff were great. There was once we were really tired on the dinner table after spending the whole day out at sea. We asked the staff if we could instead have our meal in the room. They managed everything in a very organised and sanitary manner.
The pool parties are awesome and a proper vibe too!
Overall I would recommend this place for the location, service, and overall vibe! Its always fun and there’s always something happening!
Big thanks to the Breathless team!
PS we loved it so much we extended our stay for 2 more nights 😂🤪Great102 Reviews
