Casa Dorada Los Cabos

It has been a few weeks since we have returned from Cabos. Having been there the previous year we knew the weather was ideal and were really looking forward to a great vacation.It was my husband and I's first vacation without the kids. Last year we bought a timeshare at the Casa Dorada while it was still in construction. When we arrived at the hotel this trip we were very impressed.The lobby is beautiful, as you walk in you are on the second floor of a big open lobby with a magnificent view overlooking the pool and the ocean. There you are... more

A little about ourselves. Early 30s, no kids. We travel a lot. For those who have already commited to Cabo I'll start with my review of the Dorada then I'll comment on Cabo for those who are thinking about going there for the first time. The hotel is in a fantastic location. It's on the beach just behind The Mango Deck and The Office and is about a 15 minute walk to the Marina. The room was clean, well-appointed and had a kitchenette. The service was great. We were expecting the time-share press but once we were clear that we... more

Reserved 6 mos in advance, received room # assignment. Checked in and got moved to a different room, floors a bit dirty and one of teh two brand new large LCD TV's was missing but they quickly moved us up to a room with a nice view. Customer service was good, lots of quirky little annoyances if you like to fnid them but easily overlooked, considering the location, the style and the proximity to beach (20 steps to oceanfront). Beachside service was a little slow @ times, but they were also protective ovf beechside vendors if you sit well... more

First Impressions: The road leading to the resort is dusty and near construction. However, the lobby area is quite attractive - with thoughtful decor and partial views of the pool area/ocean. Check-in was somewhat lengthy due to computer issues. Hotel staff made a time-share sales pitch within moments of getting our room key -- tacky. The room: We had a 1 bedroom suite on the 5th floor (eastern side). The room was divided into two spaces: a lounge space which boasted a partially equipped kitchenette and a bedroom space with... more

My husband and I stayed for 3 nights the very last weekend of April. I've read previous reviews, and it seems like Casa Dorada has worked out the kinks. There was no blaring music, and we had excellent, friendly, courteous service from everyone. We could hear the noise from Mango's next door while sitting by the Casa Dorada pool, but not from our oceanfront room. TIP: When our group checked in (separately) we were all offered upgrades to suites. We compared notes later, and the best negotiators got their suite upgrade for $50/night.<br... more

I was searching for reviews on this hotel before I booked and found there are very few so I will try to write as much detail as possible. I booked my reservation through bookit.com. I had never heard of this website but they had the best rate. I didn't experience any problems. I booked a 1 bedroom suite for $350/night. The "rack rate" on this room is $500+. My husband and I stayed at this hotel during their "soft opening". We weren't aware of this until after we arrived. We were informed by other guest (members) they were... more

I recently stayed at the "new' Casa Dorada on Medano Beach. We stayed in a penthouse and came willing to overlook the "soft opening" but so many things went wrong it was just a terrible vacation. Music was blaring every day by the pool. The morning buffet served practically raw bacon, and my room had several things that did not work. Hot tub was broken, shower faucet was not working, air conditioner in master bedroom was broken- the whole room smelled like sewage- due to faulty air conditioners. The maid service was poor, kitchen was... more

We just came back from a weeklong trip at the Casa Dorada. My wife and I took our two boys (6 and 3) for some rest and relaxation. This hotel did not disappoint. We stayed in a one bedroom suite...full kitchen (minus dishwasher), peninsula counter with barstools, stone countertops and floors, marble bath with double sinks, whirlpool tub, vanity, LCD TV, sofabed, three Hunter "palm leaf"-style ceiling fans, chaise lounge and two furnished balconies with views of the ocean and Lands End...all designed with a cool, modern and... more

It was my first time to Cabo San Lucas but went everywhere in the week we were there. We stayed from 1 February to 8 February. I really think it’s the best location of all the hotels. Great views, close to everything, great beach! The hotel is right behind the Mango Deck, Billygans and the Office. Some have said that the noise from the bars bothered them but I personally never noticed it. I may have been making too much noise of my own. The first couple of days we were there, the hotel was blasting music in the pool area very early in... more

With a soft opening, not everything was up and running. We had our first massage - WOW. felt like a million dollars. Beautiful pools, walking distant to downtown and the actions. Stated in a Junior suite, biger then most suites. 12 Tribes was greet both food and service. Rudy Mendoza of the staff, bend over backwords to make sure everyting was fine.
