This was our 6th visit to Casa Dorada. Being owners we used an extra week. We stayed in an executive suite, on the 5th floor, facing the arc. The executive is a pretty much a 1 bedroom w/out the extra bath. The rooms have always been clean and housekeeping great..we leave a small tip daily for her. They need to buy housekeeping vacuums for the rugs though..they use a broom. The staff is wonderful at Casa Dorada. always friendly and will go out of their way if you need anything. The beds are very comfortable and the pillows. Shower pressure is excellent. The bad= I love to sleep w/ the sliders open..the noise from the bars are annoying but we overlook it and realize that is out of casa doradas control. The music is usually done around midnite.

Pool area..They now have both pools about the same temperture, so people now use the"cold" pool, which normally people didnt use unless it was 100 degrees out. They are now enforcing the 1 hour towels on the lounge chairs, which I am glad. Very annoying looking down at 7 in the morning and peope are saving chairs until they get there at 11. The service by the pool is excellent! They will usually offer 2fers a couple of times during the day, so just ask. The food is good, it has improved since we started coming when they 1st opened. The prices seem to have went down a little too. Although they do offer a special of the day. (I believe they are making improvements on peoples suggestions) The music by the pool is good, we are in mexico so we like the local music.but they mix it up w/ other music too.
Beach...There is usually chairs roped in for members, but when the cruise ships come in,,they let them use too..Not sure I really like this especially when it is busy already, the chairs by the pool and beach are hard enough to get. Service down at the beach is very good also. They usually have 2fers all day down there..at least when we were there..dont order the frozen margaritas or on the rocks..not good at all.very blah..hello...we are in mexico. If you walk the beach, stay down by water and keep walking saying no gracias..

Restaurants..12 Tribes food has gotten better, but as people say, still just ok. The prices are still way high. the buffet is $29 pp.. It has been getting busier though, beautiful view and good service.
room service menu is not very good, need more variety. food by the beach was good..nachos and club sandwich..fish tacos. We eat at alot of restaurants in Cabo, and most are very expensive compared to the U.S. So go to walmart and keep some things in your room.

B Bar.. Not at all impressed with, its seems like a waste of space, nobody is ever in there unless a game of some kind is on, and the pool table, not a good idea..Seems there could be something they could do w/ that space.

Timeshare sales people..not much you can do but say no, most of the hotels have them. Casa Dorada isnt as bad as some of the others Ive heard about.

We come back to Casa Dorada because of the size of the hotel..not huge and you can get around easy. The grounds are beautiful..pools are nice,,but they do need some tile work in them. location, you can walk to downtown, run, very safe. and the staff...wonderful, and genuinly nice., they try and accomodate as much as they can. Its not perfect, but we dont look for that, only for them to try and and improve on things.

.A large group of us stayed at Casa Dorada for 5 days in the end of January and we were all very impressed with the hotel. I was a little apprehensive to stay here with the recent reviews that I read online about the pushy timeshare salespeople and dirty rooms, but my husband and I weren't bothered once and our room was very clean. When we initially checked into our room there was a pretty bad odor coming from the bathroom, the hotel immediately sent someone to our room to check things out and moved us to a different room. We were on the first floor so we didn't have the best view but we could walk right out to the pool which was convenient. The food at the property wasn't the best I’ve had, but there are plenty of places to eat right around the hotel (Bahia, The Office, Edith’s) if you are looking for something gourmet. The staff at Casa Dorada are all very pleasant and accommodating. I would definitely stay here again and would bring my little one next time.

Recently spent a brief stay at the Casa Dorado. The hotel is beautiful and service is top-notch. We had a one bedroom suite which was huge and nicely appointed, and we found a heck of a deal for it online. Unfortunately, it was on the end of the hotel towards the marina, right above Mango Deck World, which is an obnoxious turista bar (OK, so are 90% of Cabo's bars) so you get late noise and then early clean-up. Request a room at the other end and you'll be fine. The restaurants are so-so. Much better places elsewhere in town. The hotel's stretch of beach is small but very nice. You can arrange any extra-curricular activities from your deck chair. And the pool is marvelous.

Any negative review about the timeshare experience here is true. They could care less about you from GBS, the company that manages the time share bookings at the hotel, to the hotel itself. GBS has got to hold the world record for the poorest customer service ever. Their favorite word is "NO", their favorite attitude is "I could care less", no matter how irrational what they are sahying is. You have a problem? TOO BAD! It won't get resolved. I have had this expereince time and time again. Over and over again. The only redeeming quality is the location. The hotel was build with such shoddy craftsmanship (if any at all) that it's falling apart. The fixtures are cheap, the pool was falling apart the last time I was there. And it was jut built in 2005! The food is awful at the pool - heavy, greasy. Fresh fruit is a small fortune. If nothing else, you'll enjoy the location, but they are SO NOT a 4 or 5 star hotel. Far from it.
