Platja El Zalate

We stayed at Hacienda Encantada on a last-minute reservation because our home nearby was being repaired. We live in Cabo and regularly spend weekends at local resorts, so we have many properties to compare it with. A hurricane was nearby but forecast to miss Cabo, and understandably the hotel was prepared. As Expedia VIP guests, we were offered a higher-floor room with a better view, but it had already been storm-prepped with fabric covering the windows and all patio furniture stacked inside. Since it was only one night, we simply went outside to enjoy the views. The resort has great views of the Cabo corridor, a large property to explore, and some nice areas for kids. Where it fell short was in the details. We were told locals receive a restaurant discount, but received three different answers during our meals, with only one restaurant honoring it. Food and drinks were average, and overall the resort felt more basic than refined. With so many excellent resort options in Cabo, this isn't one our family would choose to return to.

This resort is amazing that celebrates the beauty of Mexico. The hospitality is 5 stars and an amazing ocean views from every restaurant. I
