Twenty-seven minutes have lapsed. Cheap Elite must be in the air, without wifi. 
'Cabo' is an excellent search term. Use of it in search will yield many useful threads, including a comparison between the Westin and Sheraton.

Send me a PM, I actually have most of the menus from our trip in September 2008. Might be a little out-dated...OR...
You may also want to try the Concierge at [email protected], I had frequent replies from them back when we went and that was how I received copies of the menus.
Cheers,
Adrian

Nothing but problems
I just stayed at this propoery and would never return there. Food is too expensive but worse is that they make too many mistakes added to the fact that their bill is impossible to understand. You will be ripped off and if you try to fight it, be prepared to have evidence. Save every receipt even if you eat outside the hotel as you may need to prove that you ate outside the hotel to fight it.

We didn't experience any of those issues (had one room on a points stay, upgraded to a huge ocean-front, and another cash) and we actually thought the food and restaurants, expect for one place (which treated us very poorly, I will admit), were pretty good. You could always go to the Walmart down the road and stock up on your own stuff. 
But our stay was in September 2008, a LOT can change.

There was a minor issue with the billing, but it has to do with the $200 Food/Drink promo credit, applying towards the last meal on the day we check out. Everything was sorted out eventually, but I had to explain to them the breakdown and details.
My advise is to always check the bill, especially when it involves food/drink credit, I also had billing issues in Westin Los Cabos on the same trip.

Transportation/Time Share
I am staying at the Sheraton Hacienda Del Mar Mar 22-27 for a babymoon. I booked online with hotwire for 109$ a night and for that price I have been a little skeptical, but still impressed with some of the reviews. However I have a few questions.
1) I tried to book round trip transportation from airport - sheraton and back through cabotours.net and for the round trip option, sheraton is a choice but in parenthesis it says (NOT HACIENDA DEL MAR) Has anyone stayed here and been able to get round trip transportion booked before the trip?? I thought that was the only Sheraton property?
2) Also, has anyone gone through the time share presentation, I have read a few places where they will give you ample food/spa credits? Considering we will be spending most of the time by the pool/ in the spa/ eating, i figured it might be worth it. If anyone HAS done this....Do they tell you how much credit they will give you ahead of time, is it rude to ask about the credits when you are approached, and is it worth the time of the presentation?
Thanks.

Keep in mind your other half will need to be willing to participate as well, so let the incentives ruin your vacation if he/she is really against the idea.

Need Advice
My wife is taking me either to the Sheraton or Westin for a week in July for my 40th......I think we will stay at the Sheraton as it is about $500 bucks cheaper for the week.. BUT I need some help on the following as we have never been to Cabo before.
1. We are going All-Inclusive. Has anybody done that here - by the sounds of it, it might be worth it since everyone says the food and drinks are very expensive. Is this AI buffet style or off the menu ; Is it all kinds of drinks - wine and bottled beer or draft ? Is room service included ; what are the hours of the AI.
2. We want to golf possibly three rounds. How easy is it to get around and how far are most of the courses. If the only way to get around is by taxi - how much is a guy looking at. I really am not crazy about spending $100.00 or something on cabs just too play golf.
3. Other travel experiences have shown that some of the golf courses offer transportation to / fro the hotel.....also some courses offer complimentary beverages etc on the cart . Any courses in Cabo offer any of the above.
4. And of course any other tidbits would be helpful.
Muchly appreciated.

I like the location not too far but not too close to San Lucas
Food was definately overpriced and not very good
main pool was not very well heated
Service was very good and attentive
Hated the $25 charge for keeping any personal food or beverage items in the hotel fridge
Rooms were a little worn out
Hotel surroundings very well kept
Beach was pretty good
