“With its broad all-inclusive offerings and beachfront location, this property caters to a lively crowd seeking sun and activity in Cabo San Lucas. I noted that the multiple pools and water park provide ample recreation, though some may find the dining options and persistent beach vendors less appealing. For travellers prioritizing value and a dynamic atmosphere, it's a reasonable choice, setting expectations accordingly.”
