Hotel Mar de Cortez
Bargain lodging in the heart of Cabo's downtown
This humble hotel near the Cabo San Lucas marina predates the construction boom of the past two decades, and it remains a good bargain for travelers who are not intent on staying right at the beach.
The colonial-style structure has 90 air-conditioned rooms and suites surrounding a pleasant swimming pool. Spencer's, the in-house bar and restaurant, opens onto the garden and serves hearty, casual fare for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The location provides easy access to shopping, restaurants and nightlife, so you won't have far to crawl after hitting the town. The beach at Playa El Medano is a 20-minute walk or quick taxi ride from the hotel.
Rooms average $53 a night year round. Children 8 and under are free when staying with their parents.
