Club Regina Los Cabos

Overall, our experience was very positive. The resort is older, but the workers really do a great job of keeping everything so clean and well maintained. We were lucky to see a lot of of whales in front of the resort so that was a bonus. If traveling with an older adult try and request "A" building close to C pool. Most days that is where we spent our time and would have been less stairs. The transport carts were very responsive though if we were going up top to other pool/lobby. We were there during a time of Super Swells and the beach had Black Flag warnings the whole time. Do not flirt even with the edge of the water- we were further up the sand when a large wave took our feet out from under us and knocked us down, The view of the Sea of Cortez is stunningly beautiful but it is for looking only at this resort! No problem though since the the views from the pool side lounges and infinity pool are outstanding.

We were well received as always with very helpful and friendly bell-boys and cleaning staff. The front desk staff were friendly and helpful and managed to find us the rooms we were interested in. Food was good at both restaurants. The overall impression is that the hotel had a few upgrades here and there, but it is certainly showing its age. Timeshare persons were too busy for our liking.

Stayed at Club Regina Los Cabos and loved it. The ocean views are unreal and the vibe is peaceful, not overcrowded. Staff was super friendly and welcoming, which always makes the experience better. Rooms are a little dated, but clean and comfortable. Overall, a solid spot if you want beautiful views and a chill stay without the chaos. Iran and staff were very helpful.

General info: Mandatory taxes: expect about $25 per night for studio room (more for 1 and 2 bedrooms), $6 more if you park. These are not included in the price. See photo enclosed. Check in and out was easy, we turned over on Sunday. Saturday is much busier. It's hilly, and there are no elevators, so plan accordingly. They will give you a ride on the golf carts if you ask, but sometimes there's a longer wait. Pools: Pools are clean, but they close at 5pm. There are plenty of umbrellas for shade. Plenty of good nice pool towels. Pool bars are popular, not sure the quality of the drinks. Get a chair by the pool facing the ocean if you can, but get there before 9 so you can get a good spot. The room: We had a studio with kitchenette: fridge, micro, dishwasher, toaster, coffee maker, blender, all necessary dishes and utensils. This type of room also has a nice verandah facing the ocean. The decor is dated, but clean and functional. We noticed that they are remodeling rooms, so if you're lucky you'll get a remodeled one. The AC is ok. Weather was in the mid 80s, nights 70, and we were on the top floor, but the room barely cooled to 73-75. I assume AC would have a hard time keeping up if it gets much hotter outside. There are studio rooms without the kitchen and balcony, so be sure you know which studio you are booking. Amenities: they have 3 restaurants and several bars, so if you want to stay on the resort only that's possible. They also have a small minimart (open 7am-11pm) with all the basics and fairly reasonable prices. The ice makers use filtered water, we were told. We used once and were fine. Ice cube trays in the freezer, so we made our own. The Westin next door also has a restaurant, it's very pricey $50 a plate. You don't have to stay there to use it. Guests at Regina no longer have access to the Westin grounds for day use, as previous reviewers mentioned. There's a fitness/gym which is well equipped and has towels and filtered water. Parking: They have a valet parking, but they make you sign a waiver stating that they are not responsible for any damage. They charge $6 per night. I refused to sign the waiver, and they directed me to a parking lot to self park. It turns out that it's the same lot they take the valet cars to, but it's a hike back. We asked for rides to and from every time and they were able to accommodate. We tipped a couple of dollars each day. IMPORTANT: A word about Mexican Rental Car Insurance: We booked thru booking.com and got $28 per week for economy, which was great. Expect to pay $26-32 PER DAY extra when you pick up the car. IT IS A MANDATORY THIRD PARTY INSURANCE, EVEN IF YOU HAVE liability and comprehensive thru your insurance and credit card. Groceries: Other than the small minimart on site, the nearest grocery store is one exit east on the highway, Fresco, which is on the expensive side and closes at 10pm. Your best bet is to stop in Los Cabos. The Walmart has most of the things you need, including fresh produce. We were expecting long check out lines as per other reviews, but on a Sunday afternoon we had no wait. Your best bet is either Chedraui or La Comer ,across the highway from each other, at the south end of town. Prices are slightly lower than the US, but not much. They are open until 11 pm. Produce prices are per kilogram (2.2 lbs) and very reasonable. Produce was fresh. Water: We found it is best to buy a couple of 10 liter (2.75 gal) jugs, one gallon jug and a couple of 1 liter bottles. If you can handle and carry the large jugs, we found it useful to refill the gallon container kept in the fridge. For two of us, we used 20 liters every 2-3 days. Remember this is the desert. Have fun!!!

The place was amazing overall. However, some of the staff does try to upcharge you and push you towards activities that costs more money. Personally, I enjoy a place that is straight forward and is more of a place to sleep than to experience a resort. Overall though, the hotel was very comfortable and we had a good room with a view. Cesar also was very helpful and not pushy. We did appreciate his help during our stay.

We are Raintree members for 17 years and had never stayed here yet. We were pleasantly surprised and enjoyed our stay very much. A car is very helpful and we like that it was close to San Jose del Cabo which is more our style of a town than Cabo San Lucas. Plenty of grocery stores nearby to stock the kitchen. It's very hilly which we enjoyed and rarely took the available golf cart transportation. Lots of pool and food options onsite - the food isn't any more pricey than the surrounding area so saves travel. Rooms are a little dated, but clean and more than adequate for us. Great views of whales daily!

This resort has gone through an owner change and needs a bit of TLC. However, the local location is great close to San Jose del Cabo versus Cabo San Lucas, which is better for us. The views our second to none but the drink prices are a bit costly. You really want to take advantage of the happy hour I would not come back here and stay in a studio as our first week just wasn’t what we’re used to, however now that we’re in the one bedroom, we are much happier and things have been maintained a little better in the larger unit. The staff is amazing. The location in view is fabulous and their restaurant is very reasonably priced with great food.

We were so lucky to go to this gorgeous resort during whale season. We saw whales everyday, plus rays jumping and dolphins. The resort has several pools to hang out at or beach too. The only draw back is it's too dangerous to swim, but gorgeous non the less. Everyone who works there is outstanding! Iran at the desk got us an amazing room. He was so kind to us. There are lots of activities to be apart of or just enjoy the views. Highly recommend Club Regina.

I had a wonderful time everybody that works here is very friendly and Curtis’s and respectful Reyna pool concierge is very enjoyable we loved having her, she is very friendly we love having her around to talk to us Also Alan , Lucas and sabastian very good dancers and bar tenders all the bell boys are so sweet especially Alberto all the staff is awesome the pools and the view and the whales are awesome and the food is delicious the maids in the room are spot on every thing is clean and nice no complains

We had a fantastic time! The staff are very friendly and helpful. Reyna goes above and beyond her duties. The pools are clean and we'll maintained. The Adult pool with swim up bar is a must. Rooms are beautiful and clean. Inzio restaurant has delicious options and service is top notch. Our group would highly recommend Club Regina to anyone looking for a great vacation.

We stayed at the Hilton for a week then transferred to Club Regina for our 2nd week. Club Regina is hands down the more relaxing and has the best views. More of a classic Mexico vibe with less “Americanized” decor. You can’t get any closer to the whales unless you take a boat. You can’t whale watch from the pools or even your balcony. You can’t beat this.

Came with my friends that were celebrating 34 years of marriage. We had a fantastic time. We enjoyed all the pools, the restaurants and we’d never seen so much whale activity. We saw these from our balcony…no need to take a tour boat. I can’t wait to come back again. Excellent walking trails and if u don’t what to walk Edelberto well pick you up the cleaning lady was great Emma , and the boss lady ,Reyna pool concierge was helpful I had a great time

Jesus at the pool is a gem. All of the staff there is wonderful and helpful. You guys NEED MORE UMBRELLAS. Like enough for one every 2 seats. There is animosity and competition among the guests due to umbrella shortage which seems very easy to fix. And the staff has to spend time smoothing out the interactions it’s not fair to them. So in summary, Jesus great, staff great, umbrella shortage provided by resort A PROBLEM!

We keep coming back to Club Regina for a reason. Actually, for several reasons… First, the location cannot be beat. You are literally right on the water, as in when you sip your coffee on your deck in the morning, you feel like you are on the prow of a boat. The water is practically underneath you, and the whales are jumping within easy view. Club Regina is also beautifully located in ‘the corridor’ of Los Cabos, only a short Uber or taxi ride to San Jose in one direction, and a slightly longer one to Cabo San Lucas in the other. Both within easy driving distance for a night out at the art walk, an incredible restaurant or a fun beach bar. Second, the facilities are clean and well maintained, with a beautiful lobby. The buildings are a rich terra-cotta orange, accented in brilliant blues and hot pinks. It would be nice if they would finish updating the insides of the condos – some are done, but it seems that most have not changed in the 20 years we have been coming- but they are always very clean and comfortable. The lobby is open air with an incredible view over the entire resort, and a great bar with daily happy hour specials. The best thing about Club Regina, however, is the quality of its many employees. Everyone is so welcoming and kind, from the golf cart drivers who take you everywhere to the bartenders at the swim up pool bars to the activities coordinators. Special praise goes to Lucas, who has tended the adult pool bar for as long as I can remember and always makes us the best libations with a hug and a smile! This year, we also grew to love Sebastian, who is as fabulous leading daily yoga in the beautiful ravine as he is doing aqua Zumba in the pool every afternoon. So much fun! We will continue to come to Club Regina for many years, as it feels like our home away from home…in paradise.
