Spent four days here in Early May just to relax. never left the hotel grounds for the first few days. Very nice rooms, nice ambiance, and we hit the surf just right and got in about 6 hours a day right in front of the hotel. Staff could not have been any nicer and the food was excellent.

We recently stayed at Cabo Surf for a week and had our wedding on the property with about 60 guests in attendance. As soon as we stepped on the property we were taken back with the level of service and attention to detail. We were blown away with how beautiful, quaint and clean the grounds were. The staff was so... More

This was our first trip to Cabo and we decided to stay at three different hotel/resorts. The first stop was the Cabo Surf. We stayed two nights and didn't want to leave. Ultimately, this was our favorite of the three hotels we stayed in. When we first landed at SJD airport, it can be a bit confusing looking for your... More

Thank you for your wonderful comment. You grasp the idea behind our small hotel philosophy. Big enough to provide full services but small to be comfortable. I will check on that transportation glitch. Hope to see you back soon! More

We recently spent a night and 2 days at the hotel. The rooms were gorgeous, with amazing views of the ocean, and in one room we had a sunken bath I could have swum in. We managed to have breakfast, lunch and dinner there, never feeling motivated to leave and eat elsewhere. The food was great, with a good selection... More

Truth be told, I had given up on Cabo a few years ago. I've been a bunch of times and it seemed the same year after year - full of drunk college kids, Sammy Hagar wannabes and tourist kitsch. When a girls' trip was being planned, Cabo was not my first choice. Given that the weather is almost always nice... More

Recently spent a weekend here for a friend's destination wedding. Cabo Surf is a boutique hotel right on the beach - just 35 rooms are so. Great for a small-med wedding. It seemed like almost all the rooms had an ocean view- there might have been just a few that were garden view. Location: On hotel corridor about 10 minutes... More

We recently got married at the Cabo Surf and everything was absolutely perfect. The 7 Seas restaurant is amazing. I'm still dreaming about the shrimp ceviche! The staff were very helpful and accommodating. The spa is small, but the hot stone massage was a perfect pre-wedding treat. The hotel itself is located on a great surf beach, perfect for paddle...

On a recent business trip to the area this was the hotel that was picked. The location is marginal and a bit tight but the grounds are well keep. The beach is somewhat secluded from the public and thus less cowarded but never the less well used. The rooms are spacious and clean, there are two sections, the older portion... More

Stayed at the hotel in November in order to take a couple days surfing and relax. I had heard the restaurant on the hotel grounds was good, and very popular. I had booked a junior suite, but upon viewing the room (roomy, but partial ocean view/ partial parking lot view), I decided to upgrade to a shore villa. The shore... More
