Update November 2010...still lots to like here, but i am lowering my star rating. We used the newer pool by the newer wing this year, a calm and relaxed atmosphere versus the frenetic main pool with pounding music, constant activities, party atmosphere, etc. The entire older area looking a little shopworn and could use some work, especially the driveway entry stone pavement and much of the stone flooring in the halls. Virtually all the nice "freebies" are gone: no more afternoon tea, cookies or apples, or morning coffee. We did not use all inclusive, but heard comments from several couples that the best stuff they had was guacamole and chips and club sandwich, not exactly a ringing endorsement for the food. we did enjoy a nice breakfast buffet, about $17 per person, pretty normal for resort pricing in cabo.
still one of the best locations, directly between the cities and easy drive to the Sheraton Golf Club which has a great breakfast and lunch along with a spectacular view...or to Cabo Real golf course snack bar, probably one of the best places around to watch the sunset , a real hidden gem (can't see the arch, however), and downtown San Jose with lots of great restaurants. The timeless architecture stands this place in much better stead than some places in the area which have gone modern. Lobby bar still has a great view and nice breeze. Last year they had the firepit lighted every night, this year not a single time, probably a money saving effort.
Some lack of attention to detail a little distracting, there was no corkscrew or kitchen knife in our room, and icemakers were inoperative on all floors in our wing, thus had to use room service for ice and to open wine. the ice makers did not work the entire week. Preferred Hotels needs to put some cash into maintenance here, considering what they are charging per room...guests don't expect to pay top dollar and then experience inoperative convenience items.
