(I'm gonna come out in the evening and inspect the outside for roaches. One of my fondest memories of Guadalajara is observing two giant roaches bumping uglies on a sculpture in a central square. So romantic!)

Thank you. I guess I'm going to need to call. I also have trouble with my Hilton Los Cabos points too where they did not give points on F&B gratuities. I already tried emailing the folios from both the WA Cabo and the Hilton (separately) to the Hilton Diamond Desk email but I keep getting the same form letter replies that are in no way helpful. It's like they don't even read the emails. I did all the math for them, but got same form letter again, just from a different person. Really pathetic.

Tried to call this hotel multiple times today and always got the busy tone.. how do you guys reach them by phone?
Planned a spontaneous trip for next week using free night certificates, few questions below will appreciate anyone who stayed here recently to clarify.
1. Are the constructions still going on or completed? I read a few review that the construction really discounted the experience the post few months.
2. Looks like no Covid testing travelling to Los Cabos for fully vaccinated travelers. How about heading back to the US, does the hotel provide Covid test at what costs? (30USD still?)
3. El Farallon seems completely booked out on OpenTable, is there priority for hotel guests to dine in at any giving night? Prior reservation recommended?
4. We have 2x$250 Amex Aspire resort credits to burn, likely will be all gone dining at the hotel in couple days. Has anyone tried their SPA?
5. Any recommended on the airport transfer shuttle service?
6. What are the likely upgraded rooms for Diamond member?

It has varied depending on your assigned concierge person. Sometimes bounteous messages, sometimes nothing, so I had to reach out. Then they ignored my requests.

All rooms are points rooms, but only one category is a 'standard' rate points room, others are premium award rates. The basic room category, as does most of the other room categories really, state max occupancy of 3. But in most hotels the max occupancy is flexible, especially in your case with a baby. You would need to discuss direct with the hotel. Typically you would simply book the standard rate award room, and then subsequently contact the hotel to ask/confirm that you will have two small kids with you.

Did you specifically ask whether your particular situation is ok for one room? That response looks like a template response to a generic 'what is the max occupancy' question.

I asked about 3 adults. Got the fee waived by pointing out it was never disclosed during booking or email confirmation.
