One of the first hotels built in Cabo, the Finisterra was an architectural marvel back in the 1960s, and these days one of the modern-looking resorts on the Pacific Side. Two towers rise directly from the beach. An eight-story palapa covers the restaurant and bar on the sand next to the hotel's three giant free-form swimming pools and eight hot tubs. Rooms in the new Palapa Beach Club buildings are by far the nicest and have oceanfront balconies. The stone buildings of the less-expensive, older section of the hotel evoke fishing lodges. The Blue Marlin Restaurant is good, and the Whale Watcher bar that sits perched high atop the cliff behind the Finisterra has the best view in town, especially when the wintering whales are in town. A new café/deli overlooking the marina side of Cabo San Lucas offers a great view of the Cabo Adventures Dolphin experience below.
