Our second visit to the Sandos Finisterra Los Cabos resort. Everywhere is very clean and the staff are friendly. Great buffet breakfast in the roof-top restaurant. Lunches and dinners are served table-side (not buffet). Lunch has a choice of Agave restaurant (order off a menu) by the large swim-up bar or a pizza/sushi outlet close to the adults pool. Both were great options. For dinner there are 4 choices (International, Mexican, Steak House, Italian) - all offered delicious food - no reservatio[... read more]ns needed whilst we were there but not peak tourist season.
The beach is very walkable but no swimming in the ocean as the waves are huge and currents dangerous. Choice of 3 pools - all with plenty of loungers and umbrellas.
We loved the Cupcake Cafe up on the 7th floor with gorgeous views over the Marina.
Our room was spacious and clean. The hot water was a bit hit and miss one day only for some reason. Not a huge amount of electrical outlets and no USB/C outlets so bring the appropriate chargers!
The only thing that slightly concerned us was that we had no Sunwing/Nexus Tours Rep visiting the resort (first time this has been the case in over 20 years of visiting All Inclusives) so we had no emergency contact name/number. The only way we could contact Sunwing/Nexus Tours was through the Sunwing app via a chat. It worked to get pick-up information for our return to the airport but we felt a little "on our own" should there have been an issue during the week.
Overall - highly recommend this resort for its location (close to the Marina and Cabo San Lucas town) and its facilities etc.

Great Resort
Our first trip to Cabo was enjoyable thanks to Sandos! The weather was beautiful and humidity was low. The grounds at the resort were clean, the staff were friendly and the food was delicious! I really liked not having to make dinner reservations for any of the 4 restaurants on site, which helped you to relax and not be on timelines while on vacation. While the beach was nice for whale watching, and being mesmerized by the crashing of the waves, it was not swimmable, or easily walkable for that [... read more]matter. That being said, there was a beautiful swimmable beach approximately 10 minutes away by foot. The snorkeling there was great too, right off the beach. Our room was small at best, but the air conditioning worked perfectly, and the bed was super comfortable. Be careful when booking your room though, because not all rooms have a balcony or a patio. Not having an outdoor space available made hanging our wet swimsuits to dry a challenge. This is a unique resort with rooms facing the Pacific Ocean, and others facing the Marina Cabo San Lucas. Our room faced the Marina and we were able to watch yachts and cruise ships coming in each day. Also, the Marina provides much in the way of shopping, restaurants, bars, water taxis and excursions or even just a simple morning walk if this is what you're looking for. Unfortunately, the pool with the swim up bar was not maintained well, and as the week went on it became cloudier, and dirty. Luckily there are 2 other pools to choose from, so it wasnt a big deal. Overall, it was a fantastic vacation and we would return again!

Don't stay here
If you are in any way disabled don't stay at this hotel. It's up a very steep hill and there is no free shuttle like they tell you at Trip Central. In January its very cold at night. The restaurants are over a bridge, about a block away from the elevators. A cat meowing kept us up one night and so did the fridge. They told us there were no charges but charged us $20 The maid stole our suntan lotion and capsules that I kept on the table.

A picturesque getaway
We chose this hotel for its charm and location and because it is a small(ish) resort. The grounds are meticulously kept. The views are fantastic. It was wonderful to be able to watch the whales breach from our balcony. Food was good, drinks were wet, loved being able to go for a walk into town daytime or evening. The service was excellent. Didn’t love the time share sales pitch at check in or while trying to book a simple excursion. Didn’t care for the white party as the food was m[... read more]eh! The cupcake cafe is a definite highlight for the delicious cappuccinos and lattes and treats.

Santos Finisterra
Spent last week at this resort. No complaints! The food was excellent and I must say for an all inclusive it was nice to be served dinner. The only complaint I have is the quality of the house wine. The check in and check out was extremely easy and even though we we stayed another week elsewhere there was no rush for them to send us off and we could use all the facilities until we called a cab for pick up. The mornings were cool but it was nice to walk around the marina during this time

So so
Pros: Very good fitness centre. Food OK but not great. Rooms clean.
Cons: Can't swim in ocean. Low class clientele. BASICALLY ZERO COVID SAFETY. Most dining and bar venues closed during daytime. Usual all-inclusive problems with food and low quality drinks.

Great resort!
Great views. Amazing entertainment. Pools clean and good service. Staff friendly and helpful. Rooms clean. Only comment is that as soon as you arrive, you are greeted with a drink and are immediately talked into a tour of the hotel. We insisted we were not interested at this time, and only wanted to relax in our room. Another remark I would make is around the pool area and steps down to the pool dining area, handrails should be there as many seniors do travel to this hotel.

I was terribly disappointed that they didn't offer yoga or pilates classes on a daily basis.

Family Vacation with a baby
First impression was wow, what a beautiful resort, last impression was WOW what an amazing experience to have stayed here with my family. We went as a family of 5, an 11 and 15 year old, parents plus a 9 month old baby. Coming from Canada I brought all jarred/pouch foods for the baby (didn't want to take my chances with getting a baby sick).
Hotel room:
Ocean view, water cooler, mini fridge, one double bed, one king size, hotel provided playpen for baby.
Pool:
The only swim-up bar is locate[... read more]d for the adult-only pool which is 18+, that same pool also has a DJ, activities and music all day long. The number 3 pool (kids/all age pool) which is right below, has the water volleyball net, it's large,very accommodating and it's a relief not to have the big pool parties and women in g-strings biquÃnis all around the kids and husband,this is very much a family resort. Shout out to Elizabeth at the #3 pool, who was beyond friendly and such a sweetheart, she made us feel at home, we loved her!
Restaurants:
It was beautifully refreshing to find out that we did not have to make reservations for the a'la cart restaurants, we always got in, had no issues with waiting at all, somehow every single restaurant at the hotel was ready to serve and ready with a table for us. Maybe because this is considered a luxury hotel not as many guests maybe attend I'm not too sure? But we got sat right away in all of the places we chose to go to. Most of the restaurants are at level seven and the elevators were always working to take us upstairs and down. Emiliano's is an a'la cart restaurant and you have got to try the steak filet mignon!
CUPCAKE CAFE was a major hit with my kids, delicious cupcakes sweets and drinks and coffee made for you all day long into the night.
Don Diego is the buffet and even though they have a theme night each night, it's pretty repetitive for breakfast, lunch and dinners by our 7th day we were pretty much sick of the foods, even though it was all delicious, just very repetitive. also if you're expecting to go there and eat Mexican food you have to leave the hotel, they cater to the gringos and it's hard to find traditional Mexican cuisine at the hotel besides the tacos and nachos.
DRINKS: the bartenders and waiters do try to push you with a wine list which is the only thing you have to pay for at the hotel, my husband and I figured that all of the liquor has been watered down, 100% everything tastes very syrupy and not alcoholic at all by the end all of the drinks pretty much started to taste like water with a little hint of alcohol in it, we did not get a buzz a single day not for the lack of trying! heehee
BEACH: White Sands and beautiful beaches but not swimmable at all the oceans waves are amazing to see but you're not allowed to even to put your foot in the water it's very rough for sure.
STAFF: 0 COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE STAFF, EVERYONE FROM THE LOBBY TO THE CONCIERGE, TO THE WAITERS TO THE SERVERS, EVERYBODY WAS VERY WELCOMING, VERY CARING OF COURSE THEY GO OUT OF THEIR WAY TO RECEIVE A MUCH DESERVED TO TIP.
Hotel views and location: the hotel is located right across from the marina which is also where the beautiful Dolphins reside along with restaurants and very close walkable distance to downtown. The panoramic views of the Marina and the beach from the above of the hotel is just divine and they do have a night shows every night but we missed all of the shows as we had a little baby with us we would just go to the room early. I also heard that the adult nightclub becomes really happening at night until 2 in the morning!
Overall we very much recommend this hotel, enjoy!

Beautiful Resort
Sandos is a beautiful resort. Check in was an issue; after waiting two hours for our room to be ready and a very long walk to get to the room, we discovered that they had placed us in a room without a balcony or a view. A call to the front desk and was told to bring our bags back to front desk and they would have another room in 1.5 hours. We eventually did get another room but were offered no compensation for our inconvenience. Not a great start to our stay. The resort is very clean and well k[... read more]ept; staff friendly and helpful. Access to the large marina and the constant movement of the whales in the ocean were highlights of this resort.

NICE!
We were really pleased with this resort.
Our room was lovely and generous (though a reading light would have been appreciated). We had a great view of the marina from our morning coffee stop and our balcony looked over the pools, beach and ocean - how good does it get?
While the buffet was a bit minimal and not exciting there were adequate choices for even the fussiest. The A la carte locations were very good and our biggest problem was deciding which one we most wanted to go back to. Reser[... read more]vations not needed while we were there. The house wine was ho-hum - back to that fussiest comment.
The activity staff was energetic and fun - they worked really hard to include you.
Would we do it again? Yes. Will we recommend it? Already have.

Did Not Disappoint!
Sandos Los Cabos did not disappoint! We were upgraded to a king room overlooking the harbour. The room was spacious, clean and more than what we expected! The only issue was the nightly entertainment. Our room was over the Cupcake deli and closeby the stage for nightly entertainment...volume was so loud with no indication of decrease that on the fourth night we talked to management. They were quick to respond and the following evening the music was somewhat quieter...Be aware if booking a marina[... read more] room that you will get traffic sounds (sirens) during Friday and Saturday nights and hungry sea lions in the evening hours (1pm and 4pm).Rooms in other areas would have avoided this however we enjoyed the lovely room and spectacular views. Perhaps the entertainment crew can temper the volume. It was unnecessary as the venue was small and intimate.
By far the pluses were the staff! I have traveled to many resorts and the people at Sandos were by far the best!! They were warm, welcoming and made you feel valued and comfortable. Any issues were dealt with promptly and politely. Kudos to management! Although we read on line that it was a time share resort, we were not bothered, nor were we treated like "second class citizens". There were a few things we could not access but it was no big deal...
Food was also very good....all in all this was a lovely property...even nicer than the room, the property, the amenities, was the staff!! They got it right!

Amazing Birthday!
I give the Staff a 5 Star! They were just incredible...they made my Birthday celebration perfect! I would most definitely recommend this resort for couples.
The only negative is that if you love to swim in the ocean this Resort is NOT for you as no swimming is permitted.
