Posada Real Los Cabos

This was our 7th year at this resort. We love it and will continue coming back. The staff is very friendly and have become our friends that we visit with every year. The resort is small and you get to know everyone and make lasting friendships. It's quiet (no young partiers). We have met many people here that have been coming back to this resort for 20 some years! Great place! [Details]

Really nice hotel [Details]

overall a great experience [Details]

Loved this resort staff is amazing helpful kind and will 100% go back again. [Details]

I enjoyed every moment I stayed here. The staff was friendly, attentive, oriented toward their guests. My room was clean and was cleaned every day. The grounds are well cared for, located in a beautiful spot about midway in either direction on the beach. The hotel is older but in my opinion had a lot more character than the newer ones in this area. I will certainly return here. [Details]

This was our 4th stay at this hotel. It's small and welcoming staff. One main buffet, no a la cartes. If you want fancy shows, this place is not for you. Due to the small capacity you will meet new friends as you see the same people often. The food is good. There are some renos that need to be done, yes. But manage your expectations and you will love it. [Details]

Things that need to change at this resort.
1. No towel exchange at pool
2. netting around outdoor restaurant needs to be fixed, birds entering and eating food and drinking milk creamer, etc.
3. servers only replacing cutlery that they THINK has been used. Wife saw lady using spoon in her ear, not replaced when they left.
4. spilt milk on table through table cloth, fixed by a couple of napkins and cloth not replaced so milk left all day.
5. pool bar hours need to be opened earlier and closed later along with the snack bar by pool. everything is closed by 5pm . thats a disaster.
6. No umbrellas by the pool
7. Not enough lounge chairs and umbrellas on the beach. Lots of room thats empty and everyone fighting over the few that are there.
8. bed sheets not changed in days
9. The cook that fries up the tuna has overcooked every piece that I ate.
10. the steak was very poor quality lot of other food could be improved upon. The pork sausages had so much filler they were dry.
11. They ran out of Mojito mix( likely the mint) for a couple days. Didnt know there was a country wide shortage. For a all inclusive resort its a disaster.
Nice workers, everything shuts down at 11pm. No food or drinks available after those hours this should also be extended.
I would not recommend this place to go
The hot tub wasn't cleaned in days and the pool was Ice Cold.
bathrooms old and dirty [Details]

This is a down home, comfortable resort. The staff are excellent, friendly, and accommodating. Many of the guests have stayed at this resort on multiple occasions. Quality of rooms was acceptable, hot water was a bit of a issue. Food was so, so. No reason to go hungry, but not a lot of selection. Basically a comfortable and friendly resort. Good value for money spent. [Details]

Jan,17-31/2017 was our 4th vacation at the
Posada Real and like the other three it was
wonderful.
the Hotel is small (144 Rooms) nothing fancy, but really authentic mexican adobe style.
the Staff is friendly, and most of them are like family to us.
the Food is simple, but you can always find something to your liking.
the made to order Omelettes and the selection of fresh Fruit at Breakfast are outstanding.
if you are looking to party, you are at the wrong place.
Cabos San Lucas is the place for the younger Party-animals.
Most Patrons at Posada are of the older and quieter variety.
The Pool is medium size and always very clean.
On the Beach you can walk for hours, but the Ocean is not very safe for swimming.
For us this Resort is the perfect spot,quit,small and friendly. [Details]

Nice little place, on the beach, close to town and shopping. Food is only OK and no night life. Everything is worth it. [Details]

Really enjoyed our stay! This is a smaller and older resort but the service, cleanliness and upkeep make it a great resort. We will definitely return! [Details]

Good price/ lovely small hotel. Rooms and Bathrooms need to be upgraded. [Details]

This was not the largest or fanciest resort we've stayed at; in Los Cabos, but it was such a nice surprise. We hadn't expected too much, as it is a budget minded resort; however, the food and staff were great. Smaller buffet but excellent food. [Details]

The food was lousy. Tiny swimming pool. Entertainment poor. Do not recommend to anybody. Avoid at all costs. [Details]

loved the very friendly staff, quiet, clean hotel on the beautiful beach. Small but quaint. [Details]

Staff is very accomodating [Details]

We were somewhat disappointed this time.
Staff was not as friendly as 2 years ago, and the internet wasn't as strong as 2 years ago. The view from our room was absolutely Beautiful, the ocean is right there, we loved it. [Details]

My wife and I enjoyed a wonderful ten day trip to the Posada Real hotel in Los Cabos during March 2015. The Posada Real is a Mexican owned, older hotel, but we had absolutely no complaints about anything. The rooms were clean, everything worked well (plenty of hot water, TV, AC, etc.) the facilities were adequate (enough chairs and palabras for everyone, good pool, lots of drinks,...), the restaurant food was very good despite having only a buffet option, and best of all the staff was friendly and efficient right down to the very last person. [Details]

The staff was wonderful. The rooms could use some TLC. The beds were hard. The location was great. It was a 10 minute walk to the MEGA store to catch the bus to Cabo San Lucas (30 min bus ride for $3). It was a 1/2 hour walk in to San Jose Del Cabo. A 10 minute walk to the bird sanctuary that had a lot of hurricane damage. Can't swim in the ocean here. Art walk on Thursday nights. The food and drinks were great. [Details]

I have stayed at many resorts in Mexico and throughout the Caribbean ranging from 2 stars to 5 stars. From my experience this is better than some 4/5 stars hotels that I have stayed at in Mexico.
This hotel provides liquor & food services on the beach, and if busy, they just add more staff to look after all of us constantly hungry and parched liquor deprive Canadians. This is a small hotel if you want piece and quite. Never had a problem over the 10 days in getting a cabana on the beach or getting a seat outside of the restaurant to eat in the evenings. Evening buffets were sometimes heavily towards only all seafood?? Other evenings had better selections to choose from a selection of beef/pork/chicken/pasta/seafood. Great snack bar on the beach, which again, they serve you! [Details]

The resort was small, laid back and had great service. [Details]

The first five days had a room with a great bed(not rock hard) and a new air-conditioner. On the fifth night, a very drunk, agitated, ranting out of control male happened to be in the room beside mine. Security talked with him as soon as I called them but he continued to yell, swear, slam things in his room (walls are paper thin). Decided to move to another room after supper rather than chance not getting any sleep. The move resulted in a rock hard bed and air-conditioning that didn't work properly, very little sleep and a sore body. That same night, 15-20 young Mexicans took over the second floor yelling and partying till all hours of the night despite security speaking with them twice. Then the Mexican group took over the pool early in the morning and carried on with their party all day. A young Mexican couple thought they could bring their own brand of music to the pool and proceeded to play it as loud as they liked; despite security talking with them they defied security and continued playing their music. Several people relocated from the second floor the Mexican group was partying on the night before. Aside from those two incidents, enjoyed my stay at the hotel. Definitely a 3 star but very quiet with few people around the first five days. Front desk staff are excellent. Management was very apologetic and promised to address the nose/partying issues. Food was good for the most part, odd day wasn't much to pick from. Soup was luke warm at times, but very tasty, none the less. The hotel doesn't have a ATM machine which resulting in a 15 minute hike to the mega mall. Several registered massage parlors 10 minute walk away; $40.00 American for 70 minutes. Highly recommend a visit. The glass bottom boat trip to Cabo was worth every penny ($45.00 Canadian) to see the tip of the Baja and the sites in Cabo. Pool was a bit small (distance swimmer) made up for it by swimming around the perimeter, no stopping. There was a lack of umbrellas from the storm. Staff were working on fixing the umbrellas while. Food by the pool is excellent if your not interested in the smorg. Bartenders at the pool and in the lobby are excellent; especially the bartender inside. Great place to gather; even if one doesn't drink, to socialize before supper. Sand on the beach is coarse in places, recommend wearing some sort of foot wear. Definitely a work out walking the beaches. A lot of the hotels are not up and running yet; resulting in heavily armed police patrolling the beaches during the night. The police were stationed at the Posada. They were all polite, well mannered and respectful. There was nightly entertainment. Two nights saw a trio (2 guitar players and female singer) were excellent. Anyone who can sing Whitney Houston "I'll love you for every" gets my vote. Over all, would go back again (possibly in Jan or Feb for 2 weeks). Reasonably good value for the price. Since the hurricane, Cabo is promoting tourism with great deals; check it out. San Jose Del Cabo is a much quieter community than Cabo San Lucas. Cabo is party Central. [Details]

I love this hotel. It was our first stay here. The hotel was small but quite. Great place to relax. [Details]

This is a small resort but very friendly staff. No a la carte restaurants but that wasn't an issue for any of us. Menu changed every day. Music in the lobby nightly. Bar closes at 11 p.m. so if you are a major partier this might not be the place for you. If you are looking for suggestions on places to go off resort the staff will assist you with that. Situated in the middle of the hotel strip. Strong undertow in ocean so swimming not recommended. Whales were swimming in water off beach every day. [Details]

Had a great time and would stay there again no problem [Details]

We enjoyed our time, would love to go again [Details]

I had a very nice n relaxing time . they put us in the room we requested n thr hotel is connected right too the beach n all the staff were very friendly [Details]

Everything was great. A great location for a family. Although the ocean wasn't too friendly when we were there. Only strong swimmers could go in the waves. It was great for us, but others complained [Details]

An older resort, one of the first built there, but better maintained and cleaner then most Super 8's we have stayed at in Canada. The staff was excellent, friendly and helpful, they kept the place clean, and fairly well maintained. Breakfast and lunch at the pool were our two favourite meals of the day, as the evening buffet was hit and miss, but did hit more often then miss.
Good location 4 blocks from the Mega and Cabos bus stop, we found we didn't have to rent a car like we did last time when we stayed on the corridor, using the buses worked very well for us. We did go out for dinner 5 times in 14 days, 3 times to our favourite seafood place in Cabos, Maros on Miguel Hadalto, and twice to San Jose. San Jose has the artist festival on thursday evenings starting at 4, be sure to check it out tequila tasting etc.
Water tours we found were best to arrange right at the marina, don't be afraid to barter we paid 25 usd for two for a glass bottom boat tour, (others paid 20 usd per for the same boat ride) which took us to lover's and divorce beach plus to the reef to see the tropical fish, and past the Arch for photo ops, on the way back we ran into a pod of whales so got a free whale watching thrown in. We didn't feel the need to take a whale watching tour as they performed daily in the sea right off the beach at the resort.
The beach was clean and long stretching for over a mile in either direction, which made for some nice romantic walks during our stay. Beach vendors and time share vultures in the marina left you alone after a polite no gracias, rarely did we have to repeat ourselves which was nice.
The worst part of the resort was probably the very firm beds, everyone we talked to found them very hard. I took advantage of the hard beds as they kept me from sleeping too much which I have plenty of time to do now that I am home.
The evening entertainment was a bit weak at times, Karaoke?, but good at others, traditional dancers.
Lack of seating in the main entertainment area could be improved upon, being smokers we spent most of our evening entertainment time outside on the concrete benches, cooler there but after a bit they got to be a bit too hard.
TIPS = To Insure Prompt Service, we alloted up to 20usd a day for this and had no problem whether in the resort or out on adventures.
For the amount of money it cost us for our 14 days I think we did very good all in all, and will one day return as so many others we met at the resort have, some have been back as many as 6 times. [Details]

We enjoyed our stay at the Posada Real. It is a small hotel with all of the basics, no a la carte restaurants, just one main buffet. There was always enough selection for food. The snack bar was great. Club sandwich and chips and guacamole are great! Loved having wifi in the room. Also enjoyed being able to watch whales jumping right from our beach. [Details]
