“BEWARE: You won't want to leave!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 February 2012

I must have read over three dozen reviews about Sirena Del Mar before we arrived. Each day I would look thinking I would find something less than spectacular. NOPE. Never did.

We visited between Jan 28th - Feb 4th (yes, a bit slow posting).

We were promptly greeted outside the airport by our driver (recommend Transpenninsula Service - can be arranged through resort). It was very worth it (if not renting a car) to be picked up in style (one other couple in vehicle - brand new Tahoe) and taken directly to the resort.

We were greeted by smiling Antonio who registered us. Unfortunately, our room wasn't quite ready-- so we enjoyed welcome drinks on the patio directly beside the pool (see pic). From the moment we arrived we loved the resort. While some may say it's a bit small -- this was seen as a total advantage. We NEVER had to get up early and/or search for poolside chairs.

Our room was in the newer building (just opened in December). We had a one bedroom (studio) with full kitchen on the ground floor. Room was exceptionally clean and very appealing with modern furniture. It is completely stocked with everything you may need should you decide to buy groceries and cook meals. We had coffee on the balcony every morning and were lucky enough to enjoy the whale show (yes, I said whales) from our room. Simply amazing!
The gym is very orderly with all brand new nautilus equipment and free weights. We used the gym 6 out of the 7 days and never had to wait to use any equipment -- in addition, the view when you're on the treadmill, bike or eliptical is STUNNING!

Service was outstanding. While everyone was responsive our personal favorites were: Jorge and Carlos. Carlos was there (Palapas) each morning and greeted us with the biggest grin. He made great suggestions. Our favorites from the breakfast menu: Sirena Del Mar Omelet and Blueberry Pancakes. Ask Jorge to make you a Pacific Blue and tell him the Canadian sent you!
The pool bar has happy hour everyday from 2-3pm. In addition, they have a pool party day (Sunday) where it's all you can eat/drink from 12-3pm. There are other special days: Taco Tuesday ($2.00 tacos -- suggest fish) and Mexican Fiesta (Friday evening). We enjoyed all of these.
If venturing off the resort you must, must go to Maro's Shrimp House (I wrote a review while we there!!).
The resort has a private beach. Some posts said it was more than 100 steps away. WOW!! A hundred steps from my room. It has a very good path and stair case to the private beach where we were able to snorkel and swim without a mess of people. We even watched some folks doing Tai Chi on the beach each morning.

Some said to rent a car. A taxi ride into downtown Cabo is $15 each way. A taxi ride to WalMart is $10. I'm still not sure if I would rent a car (seemed like a VERY big hassle for some of the others at the resort -- in terms of securing the right insurance) but I would definitely make a trip to Walmart -- get snacks and drinks at a minimum.

We enjoyed (understatement) an hour long couple's massage. It was one of the best I've ever experienced all while having it inside a cabana on the patio with just the right amount of wind coming through the curtains. The massage area is directly behind the firepit. Yes, a firepit that is lit every evening and right now is very enjoyable in the evening. Don't forget to try to hot tub. It was lovely and has plenty of seating in and outside of it.

We arranged a Land's End tour through the resort with Ponchito's. They picked us up at the resort and delivered back to the resort when we were done. The cost for the tour (4.5 hours long) was $50/each so when you figure we would've paid $30 for roundtrip to downtown it was well worth it as we got to snorkel and explore around Land's End.

As I said before the service was excellent however it did seem that the resort (management) should explore additional staffing needs during peak times and/or resort 'sold out' conditions as it seemed that the servers that were working at these times were stretched.

We always end our trip with the question, "Would we go back?" I was trying to figure out the WHEN part to that question. It's really not a matter of would we -- rather -- when can we.

Special thanks to Tammy Florez, Gina, Antonio, Carlos and last but not least -- Jorge! Mucho gracias!!

“Nice and Relaxing”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 February 2012

We recently spent a week at this resort in a studio room. We were in the brand new building (3 weeks old) so everything was nice and clean. The only problem we found was that noise came through the connecting doors. Also, the floors are tile and each time someone moved a chair in the unit above us we heard it. But aside from that, the units were lovely. They were quite spacious. We loved the way the bedroom faced the beach cove area. The patio doors opened almost all the way across the room making it feel like we were outdoors when we were in the bedroom. The unit was very well equipped with dishes, pots and pans. We had rented a car for the week, but we were sorry that we did. We had major difficulties with the rental company and in hindsight it would have been FAR cheaper to take taxis. It is only a 1 km walk along the road to the tourist corridor where we could have taken the local bus for next to nothing. They come along every 7 minutes according to people we met at the resort who used them daily. Taxis are readily available (10 dollars US each way to the grocery store and 20 to downtown Cabo). We spent quite a bit of time just hanging out at the resort around the pools and on the beach. The water at the beach was too cold to swim in but the sand was great! I found the pools to be a bit too cool for my tastes so I used the hot tub (which was not super hot) the most. The fire pit area was great for the evenings. There were always a few people there and it was great to chat with them and find out what they had done during their stay. We never ate at the restaurant at the resort, preferring to cook our own meals. People were complaining about the BBQ's not working properly though. We used a BBQ once but when we tried another day, both were out of service. The staff all seemed to be very friendly and they spoke fantastic English!! When we checked in, we had to talk to the Concierge (who of course wanted us to sign up for their time share presentation) but when we said we were not interested she did not push at all. Others we met had done the presentation and said they liked them because they limited them to the promised 90 minutes, were not high pressure and gave them great gifts in return. So perhaps we should have considered that option. Would we return? Hard to say. Even though we got a really good deal, I think we could have gone to an all inclusive place for about the same cost. But we did like the view and the room was very comfortable. The bed was terrific!! The only downside to this place was the small size (only about 64 rooms even with the new building) and the lack of places to walk. Since it is not in or near town, you can't just go out for a walk around for exercise. The gym they had was fantastic, but I do like to walk around the neighbourhood and that was not an option here. But I would not hesitate to recommend it if a person was looking for a nice place and did not care about it being a bit far from the action. It made for a relaxing vacation, aside from all the Mexican car rental issues!!

Room Tip: If you want a view of the Arch, ask for a room in the older wing at the most eastern corner.

We traveled to Sirena Del Mar for a four night stay with another family. We went for a quick trip to relax with our 10 year old and 6 month old. This resort was PERFECT for our needs. It was clean, the staff was friendly, and we felt completely safe having the two ten year olds play in all the pools without us right next to them to watch. It was quiet and peaceful, perfect for a family experience. We actually stayed with both families (four adults, two ten year olds, and a 6 month old) in one of the Penthouse rooms. IT WAS AMAZING. We had a Jacuzzi on our balcony and could literally sit in that and watch whales right in front of the resort.

Because the resort is new, there is only one dining option at the resort. The food there was very good and the only negative thing I can say is that the service, although friendly, was a bit slow on a few evenings. It wasn't a problem for us b/c we were there to relax and not in a hurry, but it could be a problem for some people.

We did book activities through the resort and discovered that it would have been more beneficial to take a taxi to town and then book something there. (Prices are cheaper b/c they are competing for you there.)

Additionally, b/c there was only the one restaurant on the resort, we STRONGLY suggest taking one evening and walking to the Sunset Italian Restaurant only about 10 minutes away. (The staff can tell you how to get there.) The full restaurant is supposed to be amazing. We actually just did the wine and pizzaria on the roof top and it was fabulous. Amazing view, large telescopes for the kids to view the stars and moon through, and great food.

Overall, we hope we can go back.

Room Tip: The Penthouse was worth the money!

Great Hotel at a quiet location. Be sure to rent a car since the valet service is free. Wifi works best by the pool so ask for a room close to the pool if that is important to you. Restaurant is ok but Maro's Shrimp House (downtown) is not to be missed. Room comes with detergent for washer and dishwasher so you don't need to worry about that. Costco is down the road so load up on groceries there. Costco's house made pizza is great and has a very thin crust so grab one to make for lunch.

“Beautiful”

Sirena del Mar is a beautiful resort. The rooms offer an amazing view that stretches as far as Land’s End. It’s in a great location, 10 minutes from downtown and a 2 minute walk to the beach. The rooms are spacious, very clean and modern. The staff is incredible, they go out of their way to give the guests the best possible experience and are very informative and helpful. I highly recommend this beautiful resort. I was there with 7 girls for 4 nights for a bachelorette party and all of us agree, that Sirena is the most amazing resort we’ve ever visited.
