Playa Grande Resort & Grand Spa Reviews & Ratings

We just returned from a week at the Playa Grande (Oct 2-9). We found the resort absolutely perfect.

The staff was extremely friendly and accomodating. We went to the activities desk 3 times during our visit and was helped immediately (we rented a car for a day/rented seadoos/booked an ATV trip). The rental car was brought to the resort and when we were done, all we had to do was leave the keys at the front desk).

Check-in and check-out went quickly and smoothly (no long lines).

The pools and hot tubs are clean, large, and fun! The pool service was excellent (we never waited more than 5 minutes for drinks--even during happy hour). Food was outstanding the small store in the lobby stocks essentials.

The walk downtown is an easy 10 minute walk (though uphill part of the way on the way back-- though we found after eating and drinking the walk was very refreshing).

The maids clean the room very well and even do your dishes if you've left any behind. The kitchen is nicely stocked with dishes, glassware, silverware, and all necessary cooking essentials).

Our one and only problem: We had arrived the day after hurricane Otis and it was still a bit wet in some areas on the grounds (grasses mostly) which produced ants on our porch (we were on the first floor). I called maintenance and they arrived about 20 minutes after our call and sprayed the entire porch for us. No more ant problems after that.

We plan to go back next October!

This is the place to stay in Cabo. You are 5

minute walk from town but feel secluded when at

the resort. You have the ocean waves, can fish

(but not swim) from shore and can climb over 2

sets of rocks to get to Lover's Beach and

snorkel. The Mexican's are extremely friendly.

Great swimming pools, great atmosphere, and have

Juan serve you the Playa Grande Special during

Happy Hour.

We spent Thanksgiving 2004 at Playa Grande & it was wonderful!! The resort is absolutely beautiful, the spa was great, the poolside, restaurant and maid service was attentive & thorough, the restaurants were reasonable (try the breakfast buffet!), the resort store was well-stocked, and the resort was very clean. We were fortunate to have a unit in Building A, which is the only building that faces the ocean directly (vs. overlooking the pool & the ocean). It was so relaxing & peaceful looking out on the ocean. We saw whales swimming by, and watched the fishing boats go out each morning as we had our (yummy) Mexican coffee on the patio. It was a great week & we would definitely visit the Playa Grande again!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Playa Grande in January 2005. I can honestly say we were never bothered by any construction noise. The grounds are beautiful and the staff was very helpful. I especially liked the fact that it is just a short walk to the marina, shops and restaurants. We will return next year.

The main section is now complete, including the lobby and driveways. They are building behind the main buildings on the hilltop, but it does not affect your enjoyment of all this resort has to offer.

The spa has a saltwater jacuzzi and everything other top quality spas have. The gym is outstanding, new, high quality equipment. The construction and amenities are second to none.

It is close to everything, but secluded in a private gated community. No vendors are allowed on the beach to disturb you relaxation in the sun. Speaking of sun, you get plenty of it. Cabo is in the baja california desert and get only about 5 days of rain per year. They get so little water, they must make their fresh water from salt water.

This resort location on the Pacific provides a natural air conditioning effect, with nice cool evening breezes and comfortable daytime temps and beautiful sunsets. Watch the whales from your deck, the pool or the beach.

If you want fun and sun this is truely your best value in Mexico.

The resort is lovely. If you are needing to sleep 4 people, make sure you have actual beds. The love seat folds out like a futon and it is hard as a rock. This is a great place for family's. Nice large shallow pools with water fall. But if your looking to swim as an adult, there could be nasty stuff floating around. The place is still under contruction. Lots of large vehicles coming and going. While there the internet was down the whole time. Maid service was good and tidy. The suite had partial kitchen. Two electrice stove tops, and a medium size fridge with freezer, a micro and toaster.

Our first stay in our own timeshare week 11 2004 in the new building L. The resort will certainly be GRAND when all the landscaping and hardscaping is completed. The new georgeous lobby was due to be opened within 2 weeks of our stay. If you can tolorate the construction for a while longer around building L and the driveway, the resort will certainly be the grandest. Waterways, lagoons, putting green, sports bar, gym, personal beauty salon, onsite market, internet cafe, new restaurant, to name some of the things they have in the plans. The rest of the resort is still wonderful. We are very happy with our decision to buy when we did (last November). As the cost has gone up considerably in bldg L since we bought. And we are looking forward to enjoying for many many years. Hopefully the major construction will be completed around the new main lobby and building L by next March. It is sure to be spectacular. We love Playa Grande Resort even with having to tolorate the progress of construction.

We enjoyed the first week in Dec. 2003 at this wonderful resort for the first time. We liked it so much we purchased a one bedroom and will go back in Nov. each year. We love Cabo.

The pools are wonderful and the new spa will be great when it is finished. They were working everyday on the new lobby, spa and rooms. The staff was friendly and always ready to help with anything we needed. The resort was very clean and beautiful. They continue to keep things updated. An example is adding hairdryers to the bathrooms and a step into the high bathtubs.

The restaurant on site is excellent also or just down the hill is the Galeon which will be accessible by elevator soon. The food there is wonderful also. It is easy to walk to the marina or into town.

We stayed at this resort and fell in love with it. The grounds are beautiful. It is a gated community, walking distance to town, located on the water and has a historic element to it (it is where a few scenes from the original Planet of the Apes movie was filmed). April is a good time for Whale watching. There is an on-site SPA planned as well.

We have stayed at the resort as well as Villa del Palmar in Cabo. Once Playa Grande's recreation facility (spa) is complete it will be a wonderful resort. The resort is under construction. The drawback is that you cannot swim on the private beach the resort is on. There needs to be more child friendy activities (Kid's club).

Loved this place. Condo was wonderful. We had a one bedroom with 2 big bathrooms. Huge jacuzzi, great pools. Beautiful private beach. Service was wonderful. Maid service daily. The only down side was everything at the resort closed down by 9:30 / 10:00. (This was in April/May)

I traded in from Aruba and fell in love with the resort. Great place to honeymoon. Short walk to town and to lover's beach.

This is a wonderful property in a perfect location in Cabo. You can walk to shops and restaurants. It is immaculately clean and has the most beautiful marble and tilework you will ever find in any 5 star hotel -- both in the suites and all of the common areas. Maid service twice daily. No w/d in your suite, but there's a really nice a/c washateria on site with a tv and lots of machines. Fast too.

There are 3 large, beautiful pools. Large sections of the pools are like a"sun shelf" (about 1' deep) and are perfect for little ones! We had a great babysitter too -- Lilliana, who works at the front desk.

If you get the chance to go there, I promise you will love this place.

This resort is one of the newest in Cabo. It is just a walk to Lover's beach and the marina at downtown Cabo. It is beautifully built. Go to PlayaGrande.com to check out the virtual tour!

This resort sits on a beautiful beach where the Pacific Ocean meets the Sea of Cortez. It is located next to Lover's Beach and is also conveniently located by the Marina. There is a private secluded atmosphere but one can also walk into town for the nightlife and restaurants. Rooms are elegantly furnished and truly world class.
