I just got back from Villa Del Palmar and I would definately book there again! My first tip, get out of the airport fast!! We got caught by timeshare people who posed as "staff" to get us to our shuttle bus. Of course the bus was at the "other" terminal and we had to wait there as she talked out ear off and gave us all this free stuff...Long story short. Thay will give you a bunch of freee boat trips and stuff if you listen to their breakfast jib. We got out of it and finally got to the hotel. I have read ALOT about the vultures in that hotel and honestly it was not that bad. I said an emphatic NO to the timeshare people when I first arrvived and was NEVER bothered again!! The hotel was great, staff friendly, pool area clean and wonderful. The loud "echoing" corridors that I read about (and prompted me to buy earplugs) were not bad at all. At night it is quiet and I did not hear any doors slamming.
You can find more plush and fancy hotels but this place is comfortable clean and honestly the best locatin on the beach!! I don't want to be too close to the "party" hotels so Palmar was down the beach a bit, yet you are walking distance to everything!! Take the water taxis to the Marina!! Take the whalewatching/snorkel/lunch cruise!! And just enjoy.
Good experience, would stay there again

Of course as soon as the doors opened at the airport we were BOMBARDED with timeshare sales people to give us "free" stuff. Be careful. I would arrange for my transportation before hand if I were you. 90min presentation quickly turns into 3 ours of hassle. Anyway, the hotel was gorgeous, staff was more than pleasant and helpful. I've seen them be VERY nice to people who didn't deserve it The food was not so great. I would say I had 3 nice dinners there. Go to town. Taxi is $7. Cabo Wabo and Giggling Marlin are a lot of fun. Beach was beautiful and accessible right from the hotel. View was breathtaking. Weather was 80s and sunny and dry every day (much nicer than Kansas!). I would definitely stay there again. We had all inclusive deal which made it a great value for the money.
Best Vacation.

This was a great locatoion, the service was great. We checked in early with no problems. We loved the resort, food, shows and activities. If you go don't miss the Mexican fiesta and the Beach party. The views of Lands End are breathtaking. All of the staff were great, we had the best and most relaxing time. The only drawback that we had was having to sign receipts for the food and drinks even though we had the all inclusive package, but I wouldn't let that stop me from going back again. I have to say that the staff was the best, giving special thanks to X for making this vacation so great... Thanks to all at Villa del Palmar, Cabo San Lucas....

just got back on sunday night, got good tips off this site will include them and others as well.
2 weeks before u go have a serving of yogurt a day to load your stomach with good bacteria. and take table spoon of pepto bismo everymorning you are there. i would reccomend booking the transport services cheaper than taxis but beware to find your EXACT transport company once you leave the airport many people will try n scam u. i would not reccomend cabo for the summer months as they have many GREAT activities but the weather is SO HOT they are practically impossible to enjoy or even perform without risking your health. Fitness center was horrible barely any equipment and many said to hot to exercise inside anyway. There is a local gym in town though across the strreet from pacific jewelery also outdoors though n no ac. cabo wabo great for drinks and food - good price, the office good food but overpriced. Food at hotel was pretty good n lots of it. drinks were good but forget about getting even a semi descent wine in all of cabo it does not exist regardless where u go. reservations for dinner at riu 4 special restaurants have to be made EVERYDAY at 10 n people start lining up at 8, not kidding seriously. If u want a good seat at the pool you have to get up at 7 n put your towel on a beach chair to save it for later. ALTHOUGH one person told me they were able to complain to the management n made such a scene that they were able to book all the dining reservations on one day-unverified. Also while waiting to make reservations beware of people cutting the line by sittinginemptyseats
