Tropicana Los Cabos, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

After a complete renovation lasting 4 years, this stunning property HOTEL TROPICANA re-opened less than a year ago in SAN JOSE DEL CABO to the very highest Hilton standard. It’s immaculate and modern when it needs to be, with restored charm at every turn. It seems like a museum of local sculptors’ art.||If you travel alone, especially as a woman as I do, you’ll feel safe and looked after personally.||If you prefer historic village charm (SAN JOSÉ DEL CABO), it’s here with plenty of excellent restaurants & high end shopping. ||There’s a local beach as well as (a half hour away) in CABO SAN LUCAS you’ll find other pristine beaches & dozens of resorts, fine restaurants and tourist services. Cabo San Lucas is massive while San Jose del Cabo is historic, compact & walkable.||In CABO SAN LUCAS are tours of the Sea of Cortez including fishing, whale watching (in season) and glass bottom boats. You’ll admire the distinctive features of sea rock formations and desert landscapes of the “cape” (cabo) of Baja California.||The Restaurant at the Tropicana Hilton is spectacular and some of the best chefs in the area have been hired. The bar has to be seen to be believed but more importantly CHRISTOPHER the bar & restaurant Manager is VERY charming & ITZEL (one of the top chefs) has assembled a winning menu. Good thing my stay was more than a week so I could try many of the fine entrees.||Immediately across the street is the similarly elegant DON SANCHEZ restaurant with soothing live music and a killer seafood menu. ||Special Note: Tropicana Hilton staff including Primitivo, Daniel & Daniela at Reception are amazing as are Fabian, Citlalli, Hector, Luis, Pressy and others in the restaurant.

This property is absolutely beautiful, and the staff is truly exceptional. Upon checking in, we had the pleasure of meeting Primitivo, who went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. The entire team was not only incredibly attentive to us but also to our six-month-old Pomeranian, who was greeted with his own bed and water bowl — such a thoughtful touch!||The Tropicana Restaurant is a must-visit, especially if Roberto is behind the bar. He was kind, professional, and clearly knows his craft. On our first night, we also enjoyed a tasting experience with the manager, Christopher — what a memorable and well-curated evening!||We will definitely be returning to this outstanding establishment.||If you’d like, I can help you write individual shoutouts to staff using TripAdvisor’s “Mention a team member” feature, if available for that listing. Just let me know!||

This property is absolutely beautiful, and the staff is amazing! Upon check-in, we had the pleasure of meeting Primitivo, one of the staff members who consistently went above and beyond to make our stay special. Not only were they incredibly kind to us, but they also welcomed my six-month-old Pomeranian with his own bed and bowl — such a thoughtful touch! The Tropicana Restaurant is definitely a must-visit, especially if Roberto is at the bar. He was warm, welcoming, and clearly knew his craft. We also had the pleasure of doing a tasting with the manager, Christopher, on our first night — what a fantastic experience. We will definitely be coming back to this wonderful establishment!

We travel to Cabo San Lucas fairly often, and we really enjoy tagging a couple of nights in San Jose onto our trip. We’ve tried a couple of the ocean front resorts, but we really like staying in the art district and being able to walk everywhere. |We have now stayed at the three best art district hotels: Casa Natalia, Flamboyan, and now Tropicana. All are nice, but we found the Tropicana to be a little better than the other two.|They did a really nice job with the remodel, the pool area is lovely and there are several little patio areas to relax. |What really put Tropicana over the top was the service. Everyone we encountered was absolutely wonderful. From Nacho who is the Jack of all trades - valet, bellman, and probably many other things - to the bartenders, cleaning staff, and desk staff, every team member was excellent.|We have finally found our favorite San Jose spot.

My companion and I loved our week here. It was such a great alternative to the ubiquitous all-inclusive resorts that comprise so much of Los Cabos. It was liberating to be able to choose when and where we wished to dine, although we dined frequently at the Tropicana restaurant itself. The staff, from front desk and porters to housekeeping and F&B, all made us feel welcome and valued. No request was too difficult. Our room on the top floor overlooking the pool, was comfortable and kept very cool with effective AC. Although not overly large, it served us well and offered enough closeet space and drawers for our wardrobe. The only thing it lacked was a mini refrigerator in the room and a second chair on the balcony. The shower had good water pressure and constant hot water. Robes were provided, which was a nice touch. Daily housekeeping and evening turndown service provided fresh towels and as many glass litre bottles of drinking water as we wished. The pool was very pleasant, never busy during our off season July visit, and plenty of comfortable loungers with towels. There was a bar and a game room off to one side should one have wished to escape the strong sun. The entire pool area was adorned with iron statuary artworks and mature trees which added to the ambiance. The location was perfect. We walked everywhere: to restaurants, boutiques, bars, the Oxxo, even the gym. We would take an Uber to the Playa Costa Azul, a short trip by car, but a bit circuitius on foot, then spend a couple of hours on this beautiful stretch of beach. A quick ride back to the hotel, and we'd enjoy cocktails by the pool. I would highly recommend visiting, especially when much of Mexico is enduring their rainy season. The only thing missing is an on-site fitness center.

Great hotel!! Rooms are definitely on the more spartan side, but with such an accommodating staff and beautiful public spaces, and with such a phenomenal location, how much time do you spend in the room anyway, right? I was a bit surprised there was no mini fridge in the room, so heads up on that. And the bathroom is a shared space—something to note if you prefer privacy when sharing a bathroom. The bed was comfy and we loved having our “porch” right off of the pool, across from the front desk. It made getting coffee in the morning a breeze! Note: coffee ends promptly at 9 am…or even a few minutes before 9. Which almost caused a riot one of the mornings lol. But, if you happen to miss it (and the hotel coffee is delicious!! And served with yummy cookies!), it’s a short walk to tons of local restaurants and cafes. The service is top notch. I had medicine requiring refrigeration that i needed access to 4x daily. The staff was so kind and accommodating whenever i needed to get it. The food was pricey but that’s to be expected from in-hotel and poolside dining. The location is phenomenal. Great shopping, dining, and site seeing is just a few steps away. We felt very safe and secure, too! Highly recommend the Tropicana for anyone wanting to stay in the town of Cabo San Jose!

We decided on a whim to visit this establishment for a massage. As soon as we arrived, Esther welcomed us with a warm smile and a friendly attitude. She ensured we had everything we needed and was highly attentive to our requests. The massages were amazing, and the staff on-site were wonderful. I highly recommend paying a visit!

Visited the renovated Tropicana Inn on our recent trip to San Jose del Cabo on 6/23/25. We were impressed with the rooms, grounds and restaurant on site. We originally stay here 35 years ago and have wonderful memories of that stay. The central location in the historic district is very convenient to shops, restaurants and the infamous Thursday Art walk. Thank you Primitivo for the excellently narrated tour and Diana for answering all our question. We are looking forward to making new memories here next year!

Stopped in to see the new renovations on 6/23/25. My husband and I stayed here 35 years ago. We still appreciate the intimate footprint and central location. Staff members extremely helpful and accommodating, thank you Primitivo and Diana for the tour and info. We will be booking here next time we come to San Jose del Cabo.

We stayed at the Tropican Dec 11-13, 2024. The hotel itself, is beautiful. The staff is attentive and very helpful. The only disappointment about the newly renovated and now called: Tropicana Los Cabos, Tapestry Collection by Hilton, is that it is pricey. As I said, the hotel and pool is beautiful and we loved the staff. But to pay $250+ per night for the standard room, has proven US prices have kicked in and San Jose del Cabo is focused on the 'US Resort Guests'. I didn't ask what the suites are priced. The bronze statues throughout the grounds is stunning! As you can imagine, all in US dollars on the price tags. Again, worth a stay.

A beautiful oasis on the heart of San Jose Del Cabo. Quiet and serene, it is the perfect place to unwind after a long day. Pool is nicely heated.

We had such a wonderful stay here. After coming from a five star resort in Cabo San Lucas I was not sure what to expect, but we were pleasantly greeted by a very friendly staff, a lovely property including a lively and popular restaurant, a beautiful pool area - with towels provided and a clean and comfortable room. All of this for a very affordable rate! The staff was very accommodating to our needs and spoke excellent English. I had a nice conversation with one gentlemen about the cat Benito that lives on the property. We enjoyed looking for his whereabouts while we were there. He was often in the front desk chair! Such a cheeky little kitty. We would definitely stay at the Tropicana again.

As good as always. Been eating here for years. Never come to San Jose and miss it. Others come and go. Tropicana is stalwart. Fish tacos for lunch. Anything is good for dinner in the beautiful dining room!

This has to be my favorite boutique hotel in the Baja Peninsula. They have the best food at the restaurant. I never slept better. They may not be on the beach but you are in the heart of old town San Jose Del Cabo with so much charm and character. The people in the neighborhood are so nice and wonderful. One thing that's really great about staying here is there are no timeshare sharks trying to hump your leg to go to a timeshare meeting.

Loved the atmosphere, the food our bartender Santiago. One of the highlights of our trip to San Jose . The nlbest part of our trip to Cabo San Lucas.

Have stayed at this hotel at least 10 times over the last 25 years. In the last 3 or 4, the place has taken a dive under the new owner. The pool bar NEVER open, rooms (fans, air, beds) falling apart. Restaurant now sketchy, without a large tip, don't go back a second time no matter the food nor service. Bottom line, this hotel and restaurant need an owner and management that can afford upkeep and are not rude.

Thanks Again Tropicana. More great customer service by allowing me to cancel on short notice. We look forward to staying with you on future visits.

Stayed here recently after reading a review on trip advisor. The hotel is in the process pf being remodeled. Overall, it was quaint, but we were greeted with ants crawling everywhere on the sink (gross). The four stars are for the restaurant. I had the beef enchiladas, my friend had the fajitas. The food in their restaurant was DELICIOUS.

I love this hotel, I stay here every time I am in San Jose Del Cabo. The rooms are clean and the whole hotel has a wonderful ambiance and layout. The food is great, the restaurant is classy and has live music most nights. The pool is gorgeous. The staff are friendly and make you feel welcome. They have a really fun talking parrot names Paco, as well as a friendly cat. My wife and kids love staying here as well. And best of all it is right in the middle of the town next to the plaza..so you can walk everywhere including along the river path. Loved my morning sunrise strolls. I plan to continue staying here every time I am in the area. Thanks Michael and all the staff at Tropicana.

Been around a long time for a reason. Mostly gringos hit the restaurant although a few locals join in. The menu ventures from seafood to Mexican and the classics such as steaks. Prices are not cheap but you get what you pay for. Quality food, attentive service and pleasant surroundings.

Great small hotel within the gallery district. Not the madness of Cabo but if your planning on doing a scuba liveaboard trip on the nearby charters, this is a great place to check in a few days early and to decompress after the trip. I came to visit the Socorro Islands with the Rocio del Mar/Quino El Guardian outfit and it was spectacular. The hotel itself is clean and provides a small breakfast of eggs and fruits for hotel guests. Nice outdoor patio and one of the few in the area. The food was decent and the service is excellent. I will be back on my next scuba trip.

Excellent Breakfast spot 15 minutes from SJD Airport. This place is in the heart of San Jose's sleepy "tourist area" which is far more laid back, charming, and less touristic than Cabo San Lucas. A neat place. Great old building, indoor and outdoor dining areas are pleasant and comfortable. Cool artwork inside. A string of shops next door. Red Sauce was excellent. Fresh and flavorful. Plenty for the Vegetarians. The Chile Relleno filled with scrambled eggs was outstanding. Satisfying portion sizes. Plan on giving the kitchen some time, they are not unreasonably slow, but certainly not fast. Park on sidestreets.

Been here to eat twice. I've YET to find a chile relleno that even compares to the ones sold here. This is one of the best restaurants in all of Cabo with a great menu. Very authentic Mexican food full of flavor. The service is always great and the restaurant also offers live entertainment. If you're looking for an authentic delicious meal, the Tropicana inn's restaurant is a great place to go.

Recommend for sure. Staff was very welcoming and friendly. Ordered the Chili Akiles with scrambled eggs. One of the best I have had. We also got the French toast which had Sugar and cinnamon added to it. Loved it!

Food was of very mixed quality. I had the Mexican combo platter to try a little of various things. The guacamole and chile relleno were pretty good but nothing else was. Rarely do I leave much food on my plate, but I could only get through about half. One of our group ordered tortilla soup and found it inedibly salty. She later wished she had sent it back, but of course that is embarrassing. On the other hand, her husband, who loves fish, found the red snapper very fresh and well prepared. I would not go back.

Stayed here twice and will be staying again. Great place, great people! We love this place and when I say we, they are "Pet Friendly" which is number one in my book.

I was in Cabo for a wedding, and there was a dinner arranged in town. At first I was skeptical that this was in the centre of a tourist strip, and it wouldn't be as awesome as other places. Well I should have put more faith in the cutie bride and her band of merry makers, because this place was the tops. Huge courtyard rooms with lofted ceilings, mariachi band, and three courses of authentic Mexican fare and margaritas at a reasonable price. I can't say enough great things about this place. I can, though, say: don't eat the green hot sauce unless you don't have taste buds and are doing a party trick or you have a death wish.

Located in the town of San Jose Del Cabo this bar and restaurant has a very nice feel to it. First we stopped in for a drink and chips. Service was good and the drinks refreshing. When its 98 degrees outside I guess anything is refreshing. We decided to hold a family dinner there the next night. The service again was quire good, the food pretty tasty. We ordered the following: guacamole & chips whole red snapper chili relleno's ceviche and lots of margarita's The setting was great, service good.

Beautiful and clean with classic Mexican decor and furnishings, along with a full bar great outdoor dining area in front. The tortilla soup is one of the best I've had, with a rich tomato-based broth. The enchiladas are great too - had the chicken with half red and half green sauce. The chicken was high quality white meat, deep with flavor, very tender and packed into tightly rolled perfectly fresh corn tortillas. Also had an organic salad with a nice variety of greens and purples, pine nuts, grape tomatoes, red peppers, and a creamy balsamic dressing that seemed to be freshly made. Very fast, attentive, and efficient service too.

As expensive as dining in Cabo is, we were grateful to find this lovely restaurant where we ordered a seafood stuffed avocado as appetizer, shrimp enchiladas, a whole fried red snapper, and two cocktails for $32USD each. Service was also good and the food delish. It's been a long time since I had red snapper that perfectly cooked!!! Perfect pre-art walk stop.

We were staying in Cabo San Lucas and went over to San Jose del Cabo for the Thursday night Art Walk and just happened into this little gem. We sat on the patio and enjoyed the ambiance. The food was very tasty and the service was good. Will definitely go again next time we're in San Jose del Cabo.

The place is nice and live music. We ordered enchilada and shrimp fajitas. We were dissappointed.

I gave this place a three because even though our room was clean, we found a dead cockroach in our room. Then, the room had no telephone and the pool was super dirty so we could not enjoy that. But on the plus side, this place had a/c, wifi, and the front desk can get you a taxi for around $600 pesos to the airport.

You've got to at least have a cocktail here. Cool place inside and out. Iconic.

I like this place alot. It's affordable. They accept credit cards and the food has been delicious so far. I've been here twice while on vacation in cabo. You wont be disappointed.

Be careful. I used a debit card and the front desk wrote down my security code on their paper work. Not cool. Sadly this opens me up to fraudulent use... keys stop working constantly, we've rekeyed over a dozen times... great restaurant!

This is a review for Tropicana as a hotel. My fiancee and I had a very pleasant stay here in late March 2017. We chose the hotel for its location and ambience, and were not disappointed. The rate was reasonable at $90/night on Bookings.com, plus $10 for 2 daily, full-service breakfasts. We much prefer a quaint mom-and-pop accommodation like this one to the remote, giant monster resorts on the beach. We appreciated the free wifi and free parking for our rental car, although the taxi stop is right outside and most local attractions could be accessed by walking. The small pool is a pleasant and lush oasis. I enjoyed the parakeets, parrot, and various cats on the property (although I do think they could use a flea treatment). We had a bit of trouble with the toilet, but a handyman came out immediately to fix the problem. Breakfast servers were lively and charming. We would definitely stay here again.

we checked in and went to our room. It was so run down. The beds are itchy and feels like ur being eaten by bugs. We left and went to a 5 resort instead because we couldn't stand the environment of this place. I wish I could give 0 stars

Found this hotel online. Perfect! Beautiful pool, great restaurant, clean rooms, great prices,friendly people, lots to see and do and eat in the area. We walked a mile to the beach a couple times. Walked a mile to catch the bus to cabo, realized san jose was where we wanted to be. Very happy!

The tortilla soup is smoother than Billy D Williams and the best so have ever had. Other than that everything here is decent to good.

Best kept secret in all of Baja. STOKED i found this place randomly, the nicest staff and owner you will ever find!!! Cant wait to go back!!! THANK YOU!!! The food was a bit pricey for Baja but hell, its a hotel and the service was amazing!!!

If you are looking for authentic mexican food with the most wonderful service then you found the restaurant. The vibe of the place is so great and they treat you like family and make sure you leave satisfied!! I ate at so many places in Cabo for spring break and this was by far the best place i ate at!! Highly recommend to eat here for that real mexican experience.

Went to SAN Jose to have dinner and for some reason allowed one of the servers at this restaurant talk me into eating there. He tried to suggest that there food was better than a restaurant across the street that I ate at the day before (far from the truth). Wanted to eat outside on the patio but was told there were no available seats because they were "reserved." Decided to sit at the bar....and that was a disaster. It was clear that the bartender was overwhelmed with making drinks. Took him an average of 10-15 minutes to take my order and even longer to make my drink. When I finally got my drink it was disgusting. Took 2 sips and then asked the bartender to make me something else because the drink was not to my liking. I decided to get a margarita. Now I'm in Mexico and thought nothing of ordering a margarita. It was disgusting...clearly evident that the margarita mix was pre-made. Between this my food arrived - of which was well seasoned and decent. Ordered the shrimp fajitas with corn tortillas (they typically bring flour tortillas of which I don't like). They forgot the corn tortillas and gave me the flour tortillas. I immediately asked the guy who brought my food to me for the corn tortillas - he said yes and he'd be right back. Ten minutes later still no tortillas. I then had to ask the young lady who was tending the cashiers counter for my corn tortillas. She said quickly, sure, and the. Went and got them (2 mins at best). By now I'm noticeably annoyed and disappointed. I asked for the manager. He came over, listened to my concerns and apologized...very polite guy. He then proceeded to insist on not charging me for my drink. I continuously refused and said I would pay for it...he insisted that I didn't. Additionally, he made me another margarita...of which was worst than the 1st one. All in all you see my point. Bad service...bad drinks...decent food (I can only speak for my shrimp fajitas).
