Good value

Best Western Posada Real is a great deal for the price. One of the lowest priced all inclusive resorts you will find in Los Cabos. The food is good, and the rooms are clean. The resort was not too crowded and was very peaceful. This is not a time share location which is a huge plus.
The food and drinks are tasty however, the cocktails served are extremely weak. I am not even sure that alcohol was in them, because I drank the entire time I was there and never felt anything. The food is good however after staying there and having it 7 days straight it got old and we ended up going out for meals. Be prepared for birds. The buffet is set up on a porch outside and is constantly covered in birds trying to find crumbs. The food is kept covered but anything left unattended for more than a minute is attacked by birds. Leave your table to get something from the buffet and you will return to find your table covered in birds.
Overall the staff was friendly however the servers do prefer locals. If you are a non-Spanish speaking white American you will see Hispanics being severed more quickly and more often. Items like beach towels, irons w/ boards, and cold bottled water are available at the front desk at no extra charge. You can also exchange your dollars for pesos at the front desk.
The pool is clean and heated. It has a swim up bar which is nice, and a public hot tub. There are tables set up around the pool for dining, and padded chairs with umbrellas around the pool and on the beach. The poolside taco bar is great, and the servers will bring food and drinks to you right on the beach. No need to get up. There will be vendors walking up and down the beach selling everything Mexican, from rugs, to kites, to jewelry. They are not allowed to step onto resort property unless you invite them. They will walk up to your chair if you like and make deals with you. If you don't want to talk to them give them a firm no and they will move on. You have a great view of the water and mountains, but cannot swim in the water.
Our room was clean and the air conditioner was cold. The beds are extremely hard. Our room was marked as a smoking room, but you could not tell that anyone had ever smoked there. All smoking rooms have ocean views. Our room was on the 3rd floor furthest away from the water and we still had a good view. We had no problems using wireless internet.
If you are looking for a luxury resort, or a romantic honeymoon location this is not it. If you are on a budget and looking for an inexpensive resort, this place is a good bang for your buck, and a great place to stay for a fun Mexican vacation!
