shawilson Posted May 23, 2004 #1 Share Posted May 23, 2004 Has anyone ever been to this hotel? Have heard it has amazing views and a good lunch. How would one get there from where the ship docks? Any and all info appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamirish Posted May 23, 2004 #2 Share Posted May 23, 2004 It is my favorite place in Mexico to get fish tacos. You can see if from where the "tenders" dock and is about a 10-15 minute walk. But I must warn you, the driveway to the hotel is very steep - so you may to take a cab ($2-3). Their Whalers Bar has a great view and is the perfect place to sit in the shade and enjoy a Pacifico Beer. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garydm Posted May 26, 2004 #3 Share Posted May 26, 2004 Cab will now run close to $10-Cabo inflation at its finest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpaine Posted May 31, 2004 #4 Share Posted May 31, 2004 We visited the Finisterra's Whalers Bar on our last trip to Cabo. The driveway was very steep but managable. We found an easier down, which may be the best or at least the easiest way up. After you pass the guard post the road splits -the steep driveway on the left and a road to the right. Follow the road to the right pass the hotel parking to the hotel lobby. Once in the lobby - the elevators are beyond the lobby to the left - take the elevator to the 2nd floor. Follow the walkway to the restuarant and Whalers Bar elevator - the bar is on the top level. Great views of the pacific ocean on one side and nice views of cabo on the other. Service was a bit slow - I was dying of thirst from our trek up the hill. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamirish Posted June 5, 2004 #5 Share Posted June 5, 2004 jpaine, The thought of a beer at the Whalers Bar - sounds sooooo good right now. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morriscats Posted June 5, 2004 #6 Share Posted June 5, 2004 Aside from the great lunch and beer, are there any facilities that can be used - pool, beach access, etc. Do they charge a fee for this. Thanks for info. 8/29/04 Carnival Pride 10/13/04 Celebrity Mercury Carnivale 1980 Nordic Prince 1993 Disney Wonder 1999 Celebrity Mercury 10/26/03 Carnival Pride 8/29/04 Celebrity Mercury 10/13/04 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mauby Posted June 19, 2004 #7 Share Posted June 19, 2004 Hi Do they have an ourdoor patio at the bar ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garydm Posted June 19, 2004 #8 Share Posted June 19, 2004 If you want outside and on the beach, I suggest you consider "The Office" a restaurant and bar just past the hotel, right on the sandy beach. Food is very good, and the beer very cold (and 2x1). About a one mile walk from the tender dock or a $10 cab ride. Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drunkalot Posted June 25, 2004 #10 Share Posted June 25, 2004 Just got back from Cabo on the Legend and played at the Hotel It is not a bad walk at all. I cant imagine taking a cab since the walk to a cab stand is probably as far as a walk directly to the hotel. You'll see it straight head as you get off the ship or ask any of the "guides". Follow signs toward the lobby (less steep drive to the left) walk into the lobby, turn right then left and out the door toward the pool. Not a problem at all. At first we felt weird, like we were sneaking into the resort, but found that they actually welcome you. The pools are awesome, three of them, all with vollyball net in them and lots of shallow area to just lounge around in. Swim up bar and restaurant, Huge thatched roof structure over bar, blue glass moasic tiles cover bottom of pools, very tropical. Pools step down to ocean and looks like a nice beach (but didn't go cause pools were too nice) Our waiter was attentive, happy to run a tab and made the day great. The other cool thing was that while everyone else was taking the tours and busy with that stuff we had a pool practically to ourselves for a great getaway day. Have fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suziehmkr Posted July 1, 2004 #11 Share Posted July 1, 2004 Greg - Can you email me privately at inkflamingos@yahoo.com ? I need to ask you something about a picture that I took of your family on the beach in Mazatlan. Pretty important - so I hope you see this. I will try other threads that you have been on. Tried to email you thru your screen name but you have it blocked. Thanks! Tina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
