The drive to Cabo Surf Hotel took about 20 minutes from downtown Cabo. You'll have to watch out for the entrance because it'll quickly come up. The grounds of the hotel looked like it was very manicured, give off the vibe that it's a 4-star hotel resort. 2 hour rental cost $28US. I wasn't a fan of the rocks by... More

Thank you for your feedback. Usually the sand is plenty to hit the water with a board but we need to tip our surfing guests for their way back to stay on the board until they can step on sand to avoid any sharp rocks. More

We really enjoyed our 3 nights at Cabos. I think they need to change the name though - it is more than just a surf hotel. It has a great restaurant and bar overlooking the ocean along with a beautiful spa. Our room was an ocean room deluxe and it was really large with an awesome shower that had jets... More

Thank you for your wonderful review. I had the privilege to visit "down under" for our honeymoon and had a beautiful time in small hotels and restaurants in such places as in Byron Bay and in North Queensland. Its awesome to read your comment and realize we met your expectations as you traveled such a distance. The people in Australia... More

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

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.

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.
