The rooms are very old and tacky. When I booked the place I just went by reviews and didn’t look at the pictures published. Please take some time and effort to update your rooms up to standard. Loud music at nights, I was expecting a calm, quiet place close to the national park not a Cabo experience.

Great location. Beautiful surroundings and view. Delicious breakfast. Outstanding customer service. The hotel team was very friendly, patient and helpful. That impressed me the most. No matter what time of day or night, you could turn to them with all your concerns. Frank, the bartender, prepared the best margaritas I had ever drank. thanks to all the staff for making our experience at The Mariposa hotel unforgettable. Special thanks to Allan, Oscar an Luis.
