I have a price sheet in an odd web format I will try to send through. They also have a Facebook page with tons of pictures if you haven't seen it yet, and their wedding coordinators are very responsive on that page if you have questions or want more information. 

 

I actually just got back from a site visit in Cabo this past weekend, and we stayed at Melia one of the nights. I will try to post a review a more detailed review of my trip and upload some more information this weekend when I get a break from work, but overall we REALLY liked Melia for the cost. Quick summary: 

 

Pros: 

- Half the cost of wedding packages compared to many other places we were looking at 

- Huge, nearly private beach to have a ceremony (also have grassy areas as pictured above if you don't want the beach) 

- Many options for reception locations with ocean views

- Comprehensive wedding packages that also includes a welcome event if you book a minimum number of rooms on site 

- Very responsive and organized wedding coordinators

- Reasonable all inclusive room rates for guests (~$225-$250 for 2 people)

 

 

Cons: 

- Older property, so you can tell it is dated compared to the newer resorts (not as much wow factor as other places when you walk on site, however, the rooms were clean and you can tell the property has been renovated) 

- Far from all of the action in Cabo San Lucas, and very remote- we didn't go into town while staying there but we are told its a 15 minute bus ride or $20 cab ride

 

 

I'll post some more information later, but saw a couple of you asking about Melia recently and I found it hard to find recent reviews on the property when I was looking before my site visit so thought I would share! All in all, we really liked Melia due to the cost of packages and rooms, as well as the privacy.

Unfortunately my sheet isn't working for people via email...I tried to pull it from a Facebook message and it won't work....  I will PM you some of the basic prices I have, and I would recommend reaching out to their wedding coordinators through Facebook or email. They have been extremely responsive and will get you a wedding package right away. 

 

We have been on a mission to find a reasonably priced wedding for us, and also didn't want to ask our guests to pay more than $250ish for 2 people (all inclusive prices). From my research all of the below properties had wedding room rates under $300 per night per couple (all inclusive rates) and also had reasonable wedding packages (under $100 per person for food, beverage, ceremony & reception, etc). I will rank them from least expensive to most for the wedding packages based on ~75 guests:

 

Hola Grand Faro (All Inclusive- San Jose del Cabo) 

Melia Cabo Real (All Inclusive- Corridor) 

Villa Group- 3 Properties from budget to high end to count towards your room block- Villa del Arco, Villa del Palmar & Villa la Estancia (Medano Beach, Cabo- Optional All Inclusive- This one actually could be the least expensive wedding, only if all of your guests choose the All Inclusive package...if some of your guests don't this would be middle of the pack for pricing) 

Playa Grande (Land's End, close to Cabo--- I can't recall if this is all AI, or AI optional) 

Hacienda Encantada (Just outside Cabo San Lucas- beautiful property) 

 

We have it narrowed down to Hola Grand Faro & Villa Group and hope to make up our minds this weekend...we ultimately ruled out Melia because we like to be walking distance to other bars & restaurants, and Melia was a little remote. It was still a beautiful property and reasonably priced so we seriously considered it. 

 

I've spent hours searching these boards & reaching out to properties with the criteria of reasonable wedding & reasonable rooms so hope this helps! Will send you a PM with some more info.
