Let's Dive In (and hope the water's warm…)
First things first: Accessibility. Now, I'm thankfully mobile, but I always look at this through a wider lens. Tesoro advertises "Facilities for Disabled Guests." On the face of it, yes, there's an elevator – a slow elevator, mind you, which sometimes felt like a comedy routine waiting to happen. The main areas, like the restaurants, are mostly accessible. I saw ramps here and there. But, and this is a big "BUT," navigating some of the pool areas felt a bit…challenging. Uneven surfaces, that kind of thing. Not ideal. Verdict: Accessibility is present but could be vastly improved.
On-Site Grub & Libations – The Gastronomic Gauntlet
Ooh, the food. This is where things get interesting.
- Restaurants: They've got options. Lots of options. A la carte, buffet, Asian, Western – it’s a global grazing buffet. I mean, the sheer volume of restaurants is impressive! You're never short on choices.
- My Personal Soapbox of the Day: The buffet. Oh, the glorious, chaotic buffet. Breakfast buffets were, well, a buffet. Think mountains of scrambled eggs, questionable bacon that may or may not have been cooked, and a frankly underwhelming selection of pastries. The Asian breakfast was the only one i really liked. On the bright side, I did find a decent coffee there. It wasn’t the best coffee I've ever had, but hey, it was more than enough to pull me out of a coma that was definitely caused by the jet lag.
- The A-la-Carte Experience: The A-la-carte restaurants were a mixed bag. Sometimes the food was fantastic, sometimes… not so much. One night I ordered the lobster. It was tough. Like, "I need a dentist" tough. I think I actually broke a toothpick on it. 😠But the next night's steak? Heaven. Honestly, it was like playing culinary roulette.
- Happy Hour: Essential. They have a happy hour, and thank heavens for it. The margaritas were strong, the music was loud, and the sun setting over the marina? Pure bliss. This is where Tesoro shines.
- Poolside Bar & Snack Bar: Okay, this is where the "luxury" promise cracked a bit. The poolside bar felt a little understaffed at times. Getting a drink could take a while. And the snack bar? Think "meh" sandwiches and overpriced sides. Not terrible, but not exactly gourmet.
- Room Service (24-hour): Blessedly available. Great for hangovers and late-night cravings. I may or may not have ordered a pizza at 2 AM one night. No regrets.
- Vegetarian Restaurant: I didn't try but heard it was pretty good.
- Alternative Meal Arrangements: They were pretty accommodating if you had any dietary needs. They were always willing to try to arrange for whatever you needed.
Cleanliness & Safety – COVID-19 Edition (The Sanitizing Symphony)
Alright, let's talk about the elephant in the room: COVID. Tesoro tried. They really did.
- Daily Disinfection in Common Areas: Yep, they were constantly cleaning. Staff were wiping down surfaces, and I saw them spraying things down frequently.
- Anti-Viral Cleaning Products: Check.
- Hand Sanitizer Stations: Everywhere. Like, practically in your dreams.
- Staff Trained in Safety Protocol: Seemed to be, though sometimes the masks slipped a little.
- Physical Distancing of at least 1 meter: Sort of. It was really tricky at times, especially around the pool.
- Room Sanitization Opt-Out Available: I didn't hear much about it.
- Rooms Sanitized Between Stays: I mean, I assume. They told me they were.
- Safe Dining Setup: Mostly. Tables were spaced out, and they were doing their best.
- Sanitized Kitchen and Tableware Items: Looked clean to me.
- Cashless Payment Service: Definitely helpful.
- Individually-Wrapped Food Options: Found this for some stuff in the buffet.
- Doctor/nurse on call and First aid kit: Never needed it, thankfully.
- Hygiene certification: I didn't really check because they were pretty upfront about it.
- Shared stationery removed: They kept it around.
Verdict on Safety: They made a genuine effort, but it’s still up to you to use common sense and be mindful.
Ways to Relax (Because, You Know, Vacation)
- The Spa: Okay, this is where Tesoro really scores points. The spa is lovely. The massage? Absolutely divine. I got a Swedish massage, and it was pure bliss. Seriously, best massage ever. They had a steam room and sauna, and the pool view? Stunning. I could've stayed there all day. Highly Recommended.
- Pool with View: The pool is fantastic. The view? Unbeatable. Picture-postcard perfect. Seriously, I spent a lot of time just staring at the ocean.
- Fitness Center/Gym: It's there. I peeked in. It looked clean, but I didn't actually work out because, well, vacation.
- Things to Do: They have water sports, boat trips, and all the usual Cabo activities. I did a sunset cruise, which was fantastic.
- Body Scrubs/Wraps: Available at the Spa!
For the Kids (and the Kid in All of Us)
- Family/Child Friendly: Pretty much yes. Lots of families there with kids.
- Babysitting service and Kids facilities: Available, though I didn't use them.
- Kids meal: Available.

Alright, buckle up, buttercups, because this isn't your sanitized, picture-perfect travel blog. This is me, freshly back from a total whirlwind of a trip to Tesoro Los Cabos in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, and I'm here to spill the tequila-soaked beans. Prepare for… well, prepare for chaos.
The Unofficial, Highly Opinionated, and Probably Slightly Exaggerated Tesoro Los Cabos Debrief
Day 1: Arrival & Existential Dread (and Margaritas)
- Morning (and the Longing for a Better Life): Landed in Cabo. Wow. The airport? Gorgeous, but the feeling of "shit, I forgot to pack sunscreen!" hit me like a runaway donkey. Immigration? Let's just say my Spanish is nonexistent (and my attempts at charades failed miserably). We finally made it through, and the taxi ride to the resort was… interesting. The driver was clearly on a mission, and I swear we saw a iguana the size of a small dog casually sunbathing.
- Afternoon (Hotel, and the Search for the Pool): Check-in at Tesoro. The lobby? Gleaming, the staff? Flawless (mostly). The room? Okay, so it wasn't quite the penthouse suite I'd envisioned, but hey, ocean view! That was a win. The immediate need? The POOL. Finding said pool, well, that included a minor navigational error involving a misplaced staircase and a rather embarrassing encounter with a very large, very sunburnt… something. Let's move on.
- Evening (Margarita Madness and the Sunset Sob): Tequila. First margarita. Bliss. Second margarita… well, the sunset. Oh, the sunset. Crimson, gold, the whole shebang. It was unbelievably beautiful and, for some reason, made me want to cry. I'm blaming the jet lag. And the margaritas. Dinner at the hotel restaurant? Good food, slightly overpriced (as expected), and a mariachi band that made me simultaneously want to dance and hide under the table.
Day 2: Jet Ski Jitters and Fish Taco Fiasco
- Morning (the Jet Ski Trauma): The jet skis! I'd signed up for this with the confidence of a seasoned racer. Turns out, I’m a terrified, fish-out-of-water mess. I clung to that jet ski like it was my last hope on Earth. The ocean was choppy, the waves were trying to eat me, and I’m pretty sure my scream could be heard in the next state. I think I spent most of the time looking like I was trying to birth a small, aquatic mammal. Don't ask me how I survived.
- Afternoon (the Taco Tantrum): Fish tacos. EVERYONE raved about the fish tacos. So, of course, I had to try them. First place? Closed. Next place? Wrong order. This one was…interesting. The fish was a tad… fishy. And by "fishy", I mean, I ended up wrestling with the thought of getting food poisoning the entire next day, and had to make a mad dash back to the room afterwards, praying to the gods that I wouldn’t be stuck on the toilet for the rest of the trip.
- Evening (the Poolside People Watching and the Stolen Towel Incident): Back to the pool. This time, armed with more sunscreen, a book, and a deep-seated paranoia about seagulls. Poolside people-watching is a glorious sport, let me tell you. Witnessed a proposal (awww), discovered a couple arguing over the proper way to apply sunscreen in the pool (wtf?), and had my towel stolen by what appeared to be a very smug seagull. Revenge will be mine! (Eventually.)
Day 3: The Boat Ride and the Search for Paradise
- Morning (the Boat, the Booze, and the Beautiful People): Boat tour! This was better than the jet skis. Much better. The sun was shining the water was sparkly, and the booze was starting to flow freely. I was actually starting to relax. We saw Lover's Beach (romantic AF), El Arco (iconic!), and the colony of sea lions that were clearly judging everyone.
- Afternoon (the Snorkeling Debacle): Snorkeling. Supposed to be the highlight. My mask promptly filled with water (always happens), my snorkel kept fogging up, and I spent more time battling the current than actually, you know, seeing the coral and the fish. Eventually, I gave up. But hey, the sun felt nice, even if I was more of a floating, flailing disaster.
- Evening (the Farewell Fiesta… and a Meltdown): Farewell dinner. Trying to be the best. The food was great, the music was good, and the company was even better. But, then, for some reason, the anxiety started creeping back in. The realization that I had to go back to real life, back to the grind, back to… everything. Well, a major meltdown. Cue the tears, the awkward hugs, and the slightly slurred explanation of how much I hate my job. (Good times).
Day 4: The Flight, Regrets, and the Promise to Return
- Morning (the airport and the souvenir scramble): Last-minute souvenir panic! Because, of course. Found what seemed to be an acceptable t-shirt, but the shop assistant started speaking to me in Spanish, so I just nervously nodded and bought it anyway
- Afternoon (The Flight, and a Plan): The flight home. So much better relaxed!. Looking back on the trip, I'd had a blast. The awkward moments, the mishaps, the margaritas. And somewhere on the flight, I start making plans to return.
- Evening (At Home): Still in Mexico mode, and already planning the next trip back.
Final Thoughts (and the Urgent Need for More Tequila):
Tesoro Los Cabos? It's not perfect. But it's got charm, great views, and enough margaritas to cure any existential crisis. Would I go back? In a heartbeat. Will I be better prepared next time? Probably not. But that's the fun of it, right? Until next time, Cabo! And stay weird, stay wild, and for the love of all that is holy, remember the sunscreen.

Tesoro Los Cabos: Your Cabo Escape - (Let's Be Real About It!)
Okay, so you're thinking about Tesoro Los Cabos? Good choice... maybe. Look, I've been. Twice. And I'm here to tell you, it's a whole *thing*. Forget the brochure, let's get down to the nitty gritty. Forget the perfectly lit photos, let's dive into the chaos. Prepare yourself...
So, is it *really* luxury included? (And what does that even MEAN, anyway?!)
Luxury included? They *say* it. And, alright, the rooms? Pretty swanky. Marble bathrooms? Yep. Balconies overlooking the marina? Gotta love it. But "luxury included" is a bit... optimistic. You *definitely* get a taste of the good life. But like, the mini-bar? Not quite overflowing with premium liquor. Think more... a small selection, not a free-for-all.
Here's the deal: the *location* is luxurious. Right on the marina, steps from everything – bars, restaurants, shops. That alone boosts the whole experience. You can literally roll out of bed and be sipping a margarita in, like, two minutes. And who can put a price on that kind of convenience? (Well, I guess they do, which is the price of the room... but still!)
The Pool Scene: Epic or a Bust? Spill the Tea!
Okay, the pool. This is where things get... complicated. The infinity pool overlooking the marina *is* gorgeous. Picturesque. Insta-worthy. But it can also be... crowded. Really crowded. Early morning towel-clogging of chairs is *definitely* a sport there. On my first trip, I was so determined to snag a prime spot, I set my alarm for 6:00 AM. I swear half the guests were running a strategic operation to secure the best real estate. I mean, good for them, but ugh.
Then, the music. It's loud. Very loud. And by the third day, you'll either be happily dancing or desperately craving silence. (I'm leaning towards the latter more these days. Getting old, I guess.) The staff do their best to keep things lively, but it can feel a bit... frantic, especially on weekends. If chill is your game, maybe find a quiet spot in your room, or hit up the beach. There's a whole other world there with the waves doing their own thing. Definitely worthwhile. And bring your own damn towel!
Speaking of the Beach... Is it actually swimmable?
The beach *is* technically accessible, but... the water right in front of Tesoro isn't the greatest swimming spot. It's the marina, so expect boat traffic and potential for, shall we say, "less than pristine" water quality. (Let's keep it real, shall we?!)
But *don't* despair! Medano Beach, a short walk away, is where it's at. Beautiful, swimmable, full of energy. You'll find amazing beach clubs there, which, be warned, will likely involve a hefty price tag. Still, the vibes are fantastic. Just budget accordingly. I once spent an entire day there, lounging in a giant beanbag chair, sipping cocktails, and thinking, "This is the life!" Then I looked at my bank account... and felt a twinge of regret. But only a twinge! Life’s too short not to splurge, right?
Food, glorious food! What's the grub situation like at Tesoro?
Okay, the food. This is a mixed bag, honestly. The on-site restaurants are convenient, but the quality is... variable. The breakfast buffet? Solid. Gets the job done. The rooftop restaurant is beautiful with stunning views, but in my humble (and oh-so-hungry) opinion? It can be a bit overpriced for what you get. You are however paying for the view. Its a pretty fantastic place to dine.
The best part about the food at Tesoro is actually *outside* the hotel. You are literally surrounded by fantastic restaurants. Seriously, the marina is a culinary playground! From casual taco stands to fancy seafood places, you’re spoiled for choice. Do yourself a favor and explore! Get out of the hotel, try some authentic Mexican food – you won't regret it. And for the love of god, try the fish tacos from *anywhere*. Heaven.
The Rooms: Do they make you feel like royalty?
As I mentioned, the rooms are a highlight. They are nice. Clean. Well-appointed. The beds are comfortable, the balconies offer killer views, and the bathrooms... well, let's just say I take extra long showers. (Don't judge; it's the vacation mindset!) You feel like you're in a decent hotel.
However, be warned: the walls aren't *super* thick. On my last stay, a rowdy bachelor party was next door. Let's just say I know more about their pre-wedding shenanigans than I ever wanted to. (Earplugs are your friend!) And if you’re a light sleeper, consider requesting a room away from the pool area. The music. It’s relentless.
The Staff: Are they actually helpful or just pretending?
The staff at Tesoro? Generally, they're pretty good. Friendly. Helpful. They're trying. (And, hey, working in a high-traffic tourist spot can’t be easy.) Expect some smiles, some genuine service. They'll help you with your luggage, offer recommendations, and try their best to accommodate you.
However, keep in mind, it's *Mexico*. Things move at a slightly slower pace. Don't expect lightning-fast service when ordering a drink at the pool. Patience is a virtue, especially when you're on vacation. And a little bit of Spanish goes a long way! Knowing a few basic phrases will be appreciated and will get you a whole lot further than barking orders in English. Seriously, it changes the whole dynamic.
Is Tesoro Los Cabos a good choice for a solo traveler?
Hmm... this is a tough one. Tesoro can be a good choice for solo travelers. The location makes it easy to find things to do and the marina is bustling, so you won't feel totally isolated. The problem is, it can also feel a little "couple-y" or "group-y"Popular Hotel Find
