Melia Cabo Real All Inclusive Beach and Golf Resort

We were extremely pleased with this hotel. Our room was quiet and we didn't hear the guests next door. The pool area is beautiful, the poll is heated, which makes a huge difference in the Winter time, and the pool service staff and bar/restaurant at the pool was also excellent. Nice large Jacuzzi with view of the beach and ocean (and whales). I could easily live without the mid-day pool activities and the associated noise via the speaker, since we can entertain ourselves and it can make it hard to read or relax, but this kind of animation seems to be standard for these all-inclusive resorts. The beach is beautiful and the ocean water is crystal clear. The hotel staff was very friendly and professional, you really get the impression that they enjoy working there. The only real downside was that the toilets don't have a strong flush performance and can easily get clogged. The bathtub in our room was somewhat narrow and the shower head was fixed at the wall, which makes it a little cumbersome to give a child a bath, but no big issue. It would have been nice to have a separate shower, but our room didn't have one. There were some weddings at the pool area at night, but the room A/C noise ensured that we didn't hear the music from the parties and we slept very well. The mattresses are somewhat hard but we liked them. I requested some softer pillows and got some great ones the same day. The gym is ok but nothing fancy. The four restaurants and the food quality are outstanding and truly satisfied our picky taste; except for the fact that they played the same CD over and over (instrumental piano versions of Queen hits - could be worse), but we've noticed this at other resorts too. Not sure why they can't invest in a few more CDs or MP3s. This is not a fancy high-end resort for couples, but really fantastic for young kids. Our 3.5 year old son loved every minute there and can't wait to go back.

Second trip to this resort. Staff is always friendly and wants to make the stay perfect. Be warned about getting a room near the bar.. the party goes until 1AM. Other than that, this place can't get any better!!!

Staff was absolutely wonderful. The hotel was nice. Could have used a little maintenance and TLC. As an example, there was a crack in our toilet, paint chips on doors, and plumbing hammered a bit when first turning on the shower. That said, it was clean, very friendly, and overall we had a pleasant stay. The value was great for an all-inclusive. As for location, we were easily able to catch the bus and get to and from San Jose del Cabo and Cabo san Lucas.

All was good the service was exceptional food was very good pool area relaxing location perfect.But the resort had a lot of young babies or toddlers.No night life whatsoever but we were ok with that we went into San lucas for night life fun.

The hotel is located in a beautiful area of the corridor. Unlike in many other locations in Cabo San Lucas, San Jose del Cabo, or the corridor, the beach here is shielded from rough waves and the sand is relatively smooth - a little more corse than what you would expect. Staff is incredibly nice and helpful, attempts to keep up with major holidays in decoration and food, but the front desk and conscierge are flakey, flat out liars, and completely unreliable. I've never had someone try to tell me that a full pool view is actually the Deluxe Ocean View I had booked. Ocean could be seen when leaning over the balcony at an unsafe angle. Matresses are absolutely rock hard. Be sure to request matress paddings, which are in high demand and in limited supply. For people with bad backs, this is not the hotel you want to book. This is a simple and low budget property.

Food was good but the essential variety never changed. By Day 3 was tired of the buffet. Staff was outstanding and very helpful. Room on 4th floor frequently lacked water pressure and hot water wasn't always available.

My girlfriend and I travel often to all inclusive resorts. The experience at the Melia was average. Upon arrival they did not have king size beds available. We were told they were at high occupancy and that it was a family oriented hotel with mostly double beds, something we wish we were told beforehand or was advertised as such. When we arrived at the room we were disappointed to see the old school tvs and not the flat screen tvs they promote in their pictures. When we asked about the rooms with flat vs they mentioned that only some partial oceanview rooms had them and they didnt know the exact ones that had them in order to move us. The room accomodation experience was overall very poor. The food was good and the staff are really great. The swimming pool was cold since we went in november. The activities for guests were not very exciting both for the day and night. The beach is beautiful and very clean. The fitness center was below average and quite a disappointment. Wifi is available at a high per day fee. Overall we tried to enjoy it as much as possible. The resort is clean the staff are friendly but we wouldnt return. If you are looking for a family friendly place this may be a fit for you however for a couple it didnt meet our expectations.

This was my first time in Mexico and it was great! Melia made our vacation wonderful. The food is very good, I recommend the seabass highly. The drink are tasty and free flowing any time of day. Wonderful location away from some of the craziness you find down town. Food- B+. don't forget to order a latte at breakfast! Who needs plain coffee? Drinks-Delicious and many to chose from. Staff-A+! A special thank you to Jesus Villa in La Palapa at breakfast! He is amazing! And also to Damien, the server on La Terreza. The staff is great here. Location-A. Its perfect and beautiful. You won't be disappointed. Cons: 1. Beds a little hard. 2. Pool music in the afternoon is a little cheesy. 3. No rock wall, free shuttle or zip lining mentioned on some websites.

Food in a la carte restaurants is great, try salmon toast in kujira, very good and inventive. Buffet is good, especially the Mexican items. Pool is nice, and very clean, bars are good and have premium liquor after 5. Beds are VERY hard, they happily bring pads, we needed 4 to make the bed bearable. Roof leaked when it rained, they did move us to another room in an upgrade category. ALL the staff is helpful and friendly.

-NO zipline (closed indefinitely) (the main reason we chose this resort) -NO rock climbing wall (they said that the extreme weather made it unsafe) -NO mini bar in room (this really made me mad since it states it on the website, as well as their in room literature) -Elevator not working (all those stairs nearly took both mom and me out ) -Not many restaurants to choose from, must have reservations for 3 of them and you have to go all the way to the front desk to make them (quite a hike) can't just call . (they weren’t open every day, only 1 -2 times a week) -Not handicap friendly (steep walkways, too many stairs, etc., so our friends from another resort could not visit our resort) -La Palpa restaurant ran low on selections, hot trays left empty for far too long. They claimed it was busy, but only about 15-20 people in the place that could easily seat 50+. On the plus side, the bar & restaurant staff were very friendly.
