Playa Grande Resort & Grand Spa

It is a very nice hotel, but two negatives stand out: 1. They won't let you put your feet in the ocean. I understand that there are bad currents, and swimming is prohibited, but they won't even let you get your feet wet. Sand is too hot to walk on unless you are near the ocean. Beautiful beach, but you aren't allowed on it. 2. Can't bring your own beverages to the pool. Must buy from very attentive wait staff.

Watch your luggage when you get thete. They will set it on a curb in the hot sun and forget where they put it. Keep an eye on it. Cant get in ocean and will theaten with eviction from hotel just for getting feet wet. Pool staff treats you pool lounge chair as if you were sitting in a resturant. You MUST order or leave the pool. Very rude. Ad says full kitchen. Not true. No stove to cook food. Hard to get ice. BEWARE OF TIME SHARE OFFERS. Its cheaper to go out and buy dinners. All you can eat dinner for two with drinks will be over $100. Every night. At hotel. Go to walmart and buy food for your week. Save a ton of money. Use hotel room safe. Staff just walks into your room with out knocking.

This is a beautiful place! Lots of walking it's so large. But they do charge an arm and a leg for everything! The biggest frustration though is they want all your money on their account to spend since they are a cash free resort. Which means you can not spend your money else where in Cabo. They require a minimum of $500 to be put on hold for them to charge when you leave. Drinks are 12-15 dollars but 2 will get you drunk.

Near the Marina and Cabo nightlife. The pools are a lot of fun with many activities. Only complaint is that the WiFi and gym cost money.

Beautiful hotel inside and out. Rooms are large suites that all have some form of an ocean view. Very clean hotel. Service from everyone from the bell hops, front desk and pool servers was A+. First time to Cabo, but we frequent Cancun and Playa Del Carmen, and we were blown away by the overall service. Didn't have one bad experience at all. Everyone employee spoke English even if it was just enough to communicate. Breakfast buffet was the best and worth the $20 per person. Pool side drinks averaged about $12 per, but they had 2 for 1 during happy hours of 12-1 and 3-4 daily. We traveled 6/27-7/4, with our 3 kids aged 19-16-10 and everyone had a great time. Only critique I can note is the beach is not for swimming (but almost all of Cabo is like this) due to the huge waves and under currents. Waves are huge hear and you can constantly hear them crashing against the beach, which was kind of a comforting sound.

Our stay in Playa Grande was nice overall. The resort if beautiful, our room was very clean and classy with a good view of the pool/ocean. The pool is nice (not big), and they have pool games scheduled for socializing with other guests. The ocean on this side is quite rough and swimming is prohibited, but its still quite beautiful. They have a small coffee shop for quick grab-n-go snacks and coffee. They also have free on demand shuttles that take you back and forth to the other Solmar resorts in that stretch. The marina is just a 5-10 minute walk, and the downtown is just 20 mins walk away. You can even walk all they way to the restaurants on the Medano beach in just 30 mins. Now for the bad stuff - we were a very disappointed that they charge $11 per day per person for access to the fitness center, charge you for water and do not have some of the basic toiletries/health items needed by guests (we were asked to buy them from the onsite gift shop instead). It just feels cheap and petty to be charged for the small things when we are paying a high price for the hotel already!

Hotel and amenities were great. Although the hotel is next to the beach it is not swimmable due to strong rip tides coming in. The hotel has enough pools to cover your swimming needs though. The hotel staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The amenities were more than enough.

Very clean rooms. Nice well maintained pools. Easy walk to the marina. Poolside food is OK. First room we had smelled musty (ground floor) & they promptly moved us. Only glitch was an erroneous charge of $150 on our bill from housekeeping. This was rectified.

Beautiful hotel helpful staff. Could not swim in ocean. Emphasis on selling you condo and pay-for activities. Expensive breakfast. Terrible "Sports Bar". Pay for wifi that doesn't work. No shuttle 4-5 block downhill walk to marina. Must pay for water taxi to local swim beach. All water-related activities are off premises.

Everything here was exceptionally great. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Only negative I would say is beds/pillows aren't very comfortable (for my soft pillow liking) and there didn't seem to be many onsite places to eat. Very close to everything downtown walking distance and very close to marina! Definitely going back soon!

The property is nice enough, if dated in some areas. The hotel is near the marina, which you can reach on foot in about 10 minutes... taxis are readily available. Food service is basic and a little pricey. Drinks are reasonably priced, and there are happy-hour prices available at times. The room was a bit dated, but overall, not bad. No bottled water in the room, but there is a market near the lobby that has water, beer, food, etc. The pool area is nice. No swimming is allowed on this stretch of the beach area. We were able to hike over to Divorce and Lovers Beach, but this does require some considerable climbing over rocks and may not be recommended for everyone.

We only stayed for 4 nights and we loved every minute of it. We celebrated my husbands birthday that weekend and had dinner in Puerto San Lucas, the best restaurant of the Playa Grande Resort. Chef Leonardo went above and beyond and gave us an extraordinary dining experience we will always remember. We joined a Tequila Tasting in Puerto San Lucas and we recommend this event to everybody. It is a great, entertaining and interesting tasting. Chef Leonardo is absolute a connoisseur of Tequila. We have learned, tasted and laughed a lot.

Excellent stay at Playa Grande. No swimming on the beach but not uncommon for this area. Absolutely beautiful Resort with super accommodating staff. Ocean view room is the best. Super short walk to downtown Cabo so you are not stuck in the resort the whole time. Plenty of activities but spread out so it won't bother you if you just want to relax without all the noise. We will absolutely be returning and would definitely recommend.

Staff are like family. The food is delicious. Groups or couple getaway. Nothing but good things to say

Excellent in all areas. We were upgraded to penthouse suite. All good experiences. Staff, room, excursions, transport....

Upon checking in the Front Desk staff is extremely slow. Our room was not available for check-in until 4:30. We learned that the resort is actually a time share based resort and they try to direct you through one of their time share consultants. The room was clean and the shower was great, but you are standing in a tub that is 2ft deep and does not drain very well, so after 5 minutes in the shower you are up to your knees in bath water. Even though the resort is located on the Pacific Ocean, you cannot swim in front of the resort, which was a huge let down. The breakfast buffet was extremely over priced $24-$36/person depending upon time of day. The overall feeling was that this was a member based time share and guests were not looked on as favorably as the members. The exception was the pool area, where the staff was personable and upbeat.

Great spot for families. Close to town. Restaurants were just ok. Room service was just ok.

Great stay at a 1st class hotel. Hotel is located within walking distance of beach, local Marina, restaurants, and entertainment. Hotel staff is attentive and ready to assist with any needs. Pools are clean and well maintained. Beautiful setting for the resort. Taxis are readily available if walking is not an option.

Awesome resort. Not really an all inclusive place. Only thing, walking to town is a challenge due to the elevation. It is basically all up hill.
