If you have stayed at the Acapulco, Riviera Maya or Nuevo Vallarta Mayan resorts, you will be surprised by the Cabo resort.   It is a small hotel with well under 200 units, all of which face the ocean and the pools.  There is one main restaurant in addition to  a poolside restaurant .   But in San Jose del Cabo there are a good number and variety of restaurants within walking or short cab distance.  And the quality is excellent.

All of the units here are Grand Mayan.  If you have been to Puerto Penasco or to the Mayan Palace in the Puerto Vallarta Marina,  the size is similar to those places, but they are both Mayan Palace and  Cabo is all Grand Mayan.

So the smaller resort size has advantages and disadvantages.  It is relaxed and quiet.  It has a less formal feel.  However,  it doesn’t have eight or nine restaurants on site and there is only a 9 hole golf course that is not  right onsite.

So if you want a large resort , with a lively water park, lots of restaurants on site then you would prefer the Nuevo Vallarta or Riviera Maya location.  If you want a quieter location and  smaller area with fewer on site restaurants then Los Cabos or maybe Mayan Palace Puerto Penasco.
