Playa Grande Resort

I am an owner here also. I own in the lobby building one floor below the owner's suite. Love the room, love the view, and have liked the food every year. But I have to agree with the previous owner about the Galleon restaurant - we stopped going there about 3 years ago, because every time we went there, one of us barely made it back to the hotel before we got sick. ANd they are right next door to each other!

I stayed here the last week of March. The second year in a row they have stuffed me in a ridge unit over the busy road below. this year they went as far as giving me the closest usnit to the road with a view of the construction yard. I didn't pay for 5 airline tickets and maintanance fees for this. they tried to accomidate my complaint whch got me a room one floor up in the same building with a partial view of the street and marina. the meal at the lower pool (not the ridge) was over priced, the meat was flavorless and the waiter was slow, slow, slow. Everything about this place is expensive. We have opted out of ever eating here again. The Galeon Restaurant was expensive and we became ill from the food immediately after leaving. paid too much for that meal too. We have come to appreciate the places of the main drag for eats. Not sure if we will stay here again after 8 years. things are not the same as when we bought. the only good thing that i can say is they do clean daily, but this year they forgot towel replacement or just didn't come. the walk to the marina is close to everything. The ridge benifits nearly private pool BUT getting off the ridge through the private ridge access to the street below, doesn't become unlocked until 12 noon. they will not allow ridge occupants to park in the parking below the ridge. you have to park by the main lobby. a good 10 minute walk 1/2 mile walk. somef the logic of rules are not friendly to customers. Its all about the money here.

I just went in April of 2009. It was amazing, Best Resort in cabo. The service is wonderful and the views are spectular. It is a five star resort all the way. There was 6 pool and 5 spas. In feb you can see the whale swimming in front of the resort. It is a must see!!

We stayed in room D3133 in the Ridge - beautiful and luxurious, May 10-19th. The room was kept spotlessly clean by Vicente, our maid - wonderful! Jesus at the front door and Dennis at the car rental desk were also so much fun to talk with. The lush tropical grounds are lovely, and we loved the pools. We overlooked the marina which was fun (huge balcony), although you don't get the sound of waves crashing from your room, so it's a choice you must make! We were glad we chose the Ridge because of the views and being able to use the infinity pools up there or other pools down below, even though we did miss the sound of waves. There were very few people staying there but all businesses and activities were open. Unless you are used to fine dining prices, you will probably think the restaurants in Cabo are fairly expensive. We ate in the room alot (Costco and Walmart are close and prices there the same as the States). We love Cabo - the dry weather, sunshine, beaches, and people there. I think our favorite location to stay would still be the corridor - it's quiet, and you can see both sunrises and sunsets from your balcony, but we really enjoyed Playa Grande. One big plus was being able to walk down and all around the marina and into town. Try the cappucinnos at Senor Sweets on the Marina, and there's a new Starbuck's just off the marina on the main drag. The quacamole at the Vagubundas little trailer park restaurant just outside of town (literally a trailer park!) serves a huge plate of quacamole for about $5.00 - it's fabulous. There's lots of construction everywhere right now around Cabo (not at the resort), which meant some places were really noisy (like Santa Maria bay). We had a fun afternoon at Palmilla beach - very quiet and beautiful. I could go on and on, but I would definitely stay in Playa Grande again.

great place stayed last week
