Different demographic, for sure. But there are nearly 2,000 TA reviews of this property so I don't know how you can say that is not reliable.

Been twice now, and will consider again. It is a FAMILY resort, and folks trying to have a romantic, non kiddo getaway should look elsewhere. That said, folks with kids should be pleased. It is Not a five star resort, probably 3.5, but again - do you want /need 5 star with kiddies - I don't!

I have the same question, however I'm not looking for something kid-friendly. Something that's good for a couple to relax, but also party some.
Would love to use up some of these pts I have:
SPG-15K
Hilton-300K
Marriott-85K
PC-25K
Thanks.

Non kid friendly / some party says Cancun to me - do as much or as little as you want there.
There's also a Hilton all inclusive in Cabo that has been receiving decent reviews, never been but hilton, being where you have most of your points - may not be a bad choice: I think the all inclusives are still going for 45k / night.

What about the Hilton in Curacao or Barbados or maybe even San Juan. Have been to Curacao (stayed at Marriott) and I think it would be fun for you.

The Hilton in Cabo is a good place, but my gripe with most of the places in the middle of the Cabo Corridor (and the Hilton is smack in the middle) is that their beaches are usually not swimmable due to major undertow, and they are far away from the towns with any alternatives for food and entertainment. Anyone going to Cabo, I would recommend being closer to either Cabo San Lucas (party and boating central) or San Jose del Cabo (a more authentic town)
Looking at hilton Cabo for a late fall escape. Is this a kid friendly resort? Any slides / lazy river like rosé hall (Jamaica)?
