  Second Time Guests

  My wife and I just recently returned from our stay at Sandos Finisterra, having stayed from Jan. 25-31, 2026. This was our 2nd time staying at this resort. We are not members of their Royal Elite Club. This is a great resort for families and for couples wanting a relaxed atmosphere! If you are looking for a party resort, which we were not, this is not for you. One note of caution for families: this resort does not have an evening buffet (other than on the Beach Party night, mentioned later in this review), which I know many families prefer; you must eat dinner at the ala carte restaurants. We love the size of this resort, it is not too big and not too small. We had a Marina View room, which had a terrific view of the marina and the town of Cabo San Lucas, which was just beautiful at night with all the city lights. The hotel is very clean and well maintained. There are activities throughout the day around the pool, including bingo, guacamole class, cocktail class, sushi class, painting class, water aerobics, water volleyball and movie trivia. The entertainment team members encourage guests to participate, but do not pressure you. The beach is extremely wide and free of seaweed and trash. The water at the beach is not swimmable however due to an undercurrent. From the shore or from the resort buildings we saw whales every day. Some of our favorite food items were: Chilaquilas and made-to-order eggs and omeletes for breakfast at the buffet restaurant. Shrimp tacos, guacamole and chips, and the Finisterra Burger (a loaded cheeseburger) for lunch at the Agave restaurant (palapa down by the adults-only pool). Made-to-order personal sized pizzas and sushi during the afternoon at the Pizzeria next to the lower pool. The clam chowder, roasted tomato soup, beef tenderloin and creme brulee at the Tortuga Beach restaurant down by the lower pool. The caprese salad, the artichoke heart with serrano ham appetizer, aparagus soup, spaghetti carbonara, salmon, and Tiramisu at Emiliano's, the Italian restaurant. The drinks at the pool bar, Whale Watcher's Bar and Plaza Bar were all very good. The lobby bar is very small; we did not go there. We loved the Cupcake Cafe (coffee & sweet shop). There are live shows almost every night at Plaza Finisterra, the plaza with outdoor stage at the upper part of the resort. One night during our stay they had a beach party, which consisted of a buffet dinner followed by a fire show, all down on the beach. The gym is very small, but has a few elliptical machines and treadmills, weight machines and a few free weights. It opens at 6:00 each morning. The employees at the resort are all extremely friendly and do all that they can to make your vacation special. A few of the resort employees that stood out to us were entertainment team members Carmen, Yuki and Jafet, restaurant hostesses Adi and Megan, pool area waitress Norma, Whale Watcher's Bar bartender Luis, plus baristas Abel and Amadeus at the Cupcake Cafe. They helped make our vacation special. We will definitely be back! Kevin & Michelle.

  Yuki and Carmen were great. Carmen beat me twice in ping pong so I will be back, lol. Atmosphere was amazing. I went there for a wedding and the venue was great.

  Seven Years and Still Feels Like Home!

  We just returned from yet another wonderful stay at Sandos Finisterra, and after seven years of coming back, it truly feels like coming home. It’s been fantastic to see all the thoughtful improvements and upgrades over the years, while still being welcomed by so many of the same familiar faces. That continuity is special—and it’s the reason we genuinely feel like “familia” here. The staff are, as always, exceptional. A very special mention goes to Edgar, our personal butler, who consistently goes above and beyond to ensure every detail of our stay is perfect. From day-to-day attentiveness to anticipating needs before we even asked, his level of care is outstanding. During this trip, I experienced a foot injury, and Edgar’s kindness and support were nothing short of extraordinary. He took it upon himself to help coordinate what I needed for mobility, making calls, arranging logistics, and personally ensuring I was taken care of. He followed up with me daily, always checking in and offering help with anything at all as I recovered. His compassion, professionalism, and genuine concern meant more to me than words can express. It’s rare to find a resort where the service feels this personal and heartfelt. Sandos Finisterra continues to raise the bar, not just through beautiful updates, but through the incredible people who make each stay so memorable. We can’t wait to return—again.

  Had a great trip / loved the amazing staff (stayed 8 nights in Jan 2026)

  This was our 3rd time staying at Sandos Finisterra: and again, it did not disappoint! The resort is unique and has a level of cultural history that we appreciate. We also love the location: steps from the Marina, and the dog-hike next door!! The rooms are very spacious and exceptionally clean: while some are updated and modern, others have the old-school Mexican feel, which I personally prefer. There is no 'bad view' anywhere in the resort. (If you end up with an oceanfront balcony, bring your binoculars: you can watch the whales jumping in the ocean, right from your room!) . The food was exceptional this time around - we never had a bad meal and every restaurant had something 'new' that we didn't try last visit. The sushi is honestly some of the best sushi any of our group has ever had!!! The pools are all very well maintained and we spent all of our time at the Adult Pool/Swim Up Bar. We also wanted to point out that the STAFF is part of the reason we keep coming back to this resort. Some of the staff members even remembered our group of friends from our last visit in 2025!! Honourable mentions to the following staff members (they should be congratulated and thanked for their incredible level of customer service, kindness, attention to detail, and consistent smiles!!! Without them, our vacation would not have been as perfect as it was!!!) Entertainment Staff: Enrique was SO fun and great at his job. Yuki and Carmen went out of their way to make everyone feel part of the fun, and appreciated. The White Party Night included management staff and we loved that everyone was spotlighted. The shows were all AWESOME. Cupcake: thank you Amadeus for always being SO professional, kind, and knowing my precise coffee order!!! Whalewatchers Pub: Luis and Tejate were incredible. Luis even remembered us from our last visit and kept everything so clean and running smoothly every night! Pool: SEVERNO was THE BEST BARTENDER ever!!! Never stopped working (go-go-go!) and always with a kind smile. Norma was our best server and went out of her way to always make sure we were happy with our food and drinks. Spa/Gym: a HUGE thank you to Frederico for being such a great trainer, and for keeping the facilities running smoothly and clean. I loved my gym-time !! Thank you to Claudia for an incredible cacao scrub: I will be back to the spa for a repeat!!! The facilities are amazing and I cannot express how much I love the sauna/steam options before my spa services, including the staff that help all along the way. Front Desk: wow ALVARO for always being ready to help with everyone's bags, transportation, and with a smile. VIP: Ismael makes the BEST margaritas and is always helpful and kind to everyone - even if they aren't aware the pool is VIP only. Agave Steakhouse: WOW Rondero and Brayan who went above and beyond for us every night we were there and for remembering us from our last visit. We had the best service we could have ever asked for. The grilled provolone is to die for!!
