Donjuan By Melida Hotel

Loved Hotel Melida! They were very sweet, my room was cleaned every day, there was air conditioning, and the first be of the best restaurants in cabo across the street!

The room reeked of mildew, the gravel courtyard had rubble and dog feces, and there were roaches. I have backpacked around Latin America and this was by far the worst room I have ever stayed in.

Good deal,great location, nice staff.

I don't understand when you book an 8 day stay you must change rooms. Lost 1 day of holidays waiting to change rooms. For those who can wait the extra day for the correct room, is great. It is close to everything you want including the restaurant across the street, very cost effective and great food. Go there, as apposed to 2 blocks away for three times the price. PLEASE NOTE, this is cost effective and very nice place to stay.

We stayed at the Hotel Melida shortly after Hurricane Odile took its toll on Cabo San Lucas. We were hoping to experience some of Mexico's people and understand more about their recovery process after the disaster. The hotel staff were amazingly eager to help, very friendly, and always pleasant to deal with. It should be noted that this establishment is not a five-star hotel, so don't expect fancy digs when staying here. There was hot coffee in the morning, though, and wi-fi available in the lobby. Some, but not all, of the staff spoke English. The room was kept clean, and we had no concerns for safety in the residential neighborhood across from a local school. My family had a good experience staying here!

If you want a basic hotel, and are more interested in getting out and about in the town and to the beach instead of lounging around in the room, this will be OK. There are plenty of nice places to eat around there. The accommodation is basic but adequate - the shower had hot water, the bed was obviously well used but functional. No hotel safe (thought I'd read in some review that it did, but it didn't) but everything worked OK. The internet worked in the lounge area.

Due to the fact there is no pool and there are other adult activities around the hotel, I would not recommend for families or romantic getaways. For singles or couples looking for a cheap place that is close to everything with friendly staff, I would recommend it. Close to the marina, Cabo Wabo (overrated), the beaches and lots of restaurants. Wifi is available for free in the lobby and you get hot showers, tv (approx. four English channels) and a/c. Can be a little loud as the hotel is right on the street, but there is no traffic during the night.

The staff are very nice, the room had tv, a/c, hot water and wifi in the lobby. It was a very typical Mexican hotel, no pool, no real amenities, a bed and a bathroom. Very close to the marina, the mall and the beach so that is a plus. The cons were the working girls that used the rooms in the hotel and the traffic in the morning. The hotel is right on the roads (three feet) and around 8am the traffic starts so it feels like you are right beside the road. It is safe and they do lock the front gate overnight but they do let people use the rooms for brief encounters.

It is located extremely close to the marina, the mall and many restaurants and clubs. Great location except the last night I was there two girls used the rooms on either side of me with clients. I wondered why the one room was always left open at night and now I know. The hotel is secure, there is always somebody watching so you know they let them in as the front gate is locked at night. Unfortunately these ladies were a little loud and that is how I noticed it. But if you are adults, want a great location that is cheap, go here. They do have tvs with cable, around five English channels, a/c, hot showers and wifi in the lobby. The staff were always pleasant with me.

We booked last minute flights to Los Cabos and booked the hotel because of the cheap price, thinking if it was horrible, we could move. Make no mistake, this is a very basic hotel. It was clean when we arrived and beds were comfortable. It had a very slight musty smell, but it seemed to clear when you ran the air conditioning (which only took about 5 minutes to cool the room down, and then you could turn it off). We also bought a candle and that seemed to help. We didn't notice the mustiness after the first day--it either improved with the air circulating, or we got used to it. Our room had two beds, two drawers, a nightstand, a tiny tv, shower, sink, toilet. There was no closet, only 4 hangers on the arm of the tv stand. The room was cleaned every second day and staff were pleasant. You had to ask for new towels and toilet paper, but it wasn't an issue when you did. There is a low wall with iron railings that separates you from the street, and there is a gate that is closed and locked at night, so it is very safe. If you come back late at night, there is always someone on duty to open the gate for you. The hotel is about two blocks walk down to the main drag of Cabos San Lucas (Cabo Wabo area) and we felt 100% safe everywhere we went. There are local stores nearby where we could buy ice, water, beer, etc. To get to Medano Beach, it is about a 15 minute walk through the Marina (fun to do) and there are great facilities, bars, chairs, everywhere. No problem getting service.
