The room was gorgeous with a STUNNING view of ocean and the beach club, the staff was very kind - always had bottled water and sweet treats waiting for me in my room whenever I came back from an excursion. They had 2 pools, the rooftop pool was amazing, with a heated pool and bar/restaurant - with spectacular views of docks, boats, beach and more. Thank you so much for making my first trip to Mexico wonderful!

This hotel is beautiful and unique. Here's the thing they required excessive $1k deposit at check in and no outside food or drink but hotel food and drink is very pricey with 31% fees on top of all items. Pool closes too early at 8pm.

The hotel and staff were wonderful. The beds are comfortable. The rooftop pool was fantastic and the views were wonderful. The beach club was exceptional with one of the only swimmable beaches around. The area surrounding the hotel was very poor and not what you would expect for a hotel of this caliber. Things you should be aware of are: the food was only OK and very expensive, the drinks were expensive, the hotel puts a large hold on your credit card for potential damages you make to your room and look at all of your receipts to make sure that only your food and drink charges are placed on your room. Space if you want a good Ross breakfast for a reasonable price, go across the street to George’s restaurant.

It’s a great little quiet spot. AC in your room, great room views. The food at the restaurant is good too. Pool has odd hours and every bill already has added tip. It’s a bit further away from stuff but to me that was a plus. There’s walkable liquor store and places to eat. There’s guest passes for locals which I thought was a cool thing cause everyone I met that used it or worked there were chill. Def would come back!

Wow, our stay at El Ganzo was amazing. The property is beautiful, the art, decor and views are even better in person. They have everything you need on site, including some of the best food I’ve had in Mexico. Highlights include the incredible food at the pool and the restaurant. Great easy beach access with shady loungers and a swimmable beach. The service at the pool was also great, shout out to Montserrat she was exceptional. Staying over in San Jose is a slower more vibey area and we look forward to our return trip!!

Exceptional service in a peaceful, inspiring sett

Absolutely amazing service at this wonderful hotel! Every single staff member I encountered during my week at El Ganzo was incredibly kind, patient, helpful, and cheerful! I've stayed at hundreds of hotels over the years; I've never experienced such gentle and genuine hospitality and professionalism. The original art throughout the hotel is inspiring, as are the amazing views. I was so happy that there were many quiet spots to relax. And I loved watching the fishermen get ready to head out for the day from my terrace. I hope to return to El Ganzo and will encourage others to visit as well!

AMAZING! We came in a day pass and loved the vibe so much, we checked out of our other hotel to stay. It was our first choice anyway so we didn’t mind the loss (long story but worth the move). The pool was neat (too many phones in the pool if you ask me (you know, pool shots for IG) but great staff. Alan was great. Our preferred hangout was the beach. Note: the beach is public so NOT adults only. If you want true adults only, the rooftop pool or quiet pool are your options. Overall, amazing service, beautiful rooms, great food (the GUAC!), the vibe. We’ll be back!

Love this place!! Five star service (cookies delivered to the room every night at turndown), beautiful views from every room, amazing food, well kept grounds, great location on the marina, gorgeous private beach (to get there you take about a 30 second boat ride across the marina… open 10am to 6pm only- and are met with a bunch of loungers and big bed cabanas, soft sand and calm warm waters-76 degrees in June). We sat out on our patio every morning and looked out over the fishing boats and ocean beyond. The rooftop pool is outstanding (the views!!!), but my favorite was the “quiet pool”- a small more private spot to relax. The food at the hotel is truly terrific but there’s also several local options within a 10 minute walk (very safe!) or a 3 minute bike ride (hotel has bikes for your use). The Drunken Sailor has terrific food and great non alcoholic drink options like hibiscus lemonade, and coconut milk Horchata. The Spicy Tuna has terrific sushi and large portions (try the potato shrimp!), Rubas Bakery has incredible baked goods (croissants and banana bread were outstanding) and good coffee/tea. Want a massage? Go to the hotel spa or try local (just down the street) at Moonlight Spa (90 min massage = $76). Other things to note: Expect to pay $60 (plus tip) one way for a taxi or shuttle from the airport to the hotel and $15 (plus tip) one way to go into San Jose Del Cabo downtown (where you’ll find a myriad of dining and shopping options). Our stay was top notch!
