Canadians love Mexico – 4.2 million of us visited in 2023 in search of sun and sand on a quick flight. While hotspots like Cancun and Riviera Maya are likely already on your selling list, agents would be smart to offer Sandos Finisterra Los Cabos to clients who are looking for something different, especially if they’re repeat travellers to Mexico.
Last month, TravelPulse Canada spent time with agents at Sandos Finisterra Los Cabos, exploring the property and learning why it might check a lot of boxes for clients who are looking for a vacation that’s charming, authentic, and affordable.
“I don’t think people have the right idea about Los Cabos,” Juan Carlos Ruiz, Sandos Hotel & Resorts BDM Ontario, Manitoba told TravelPulse Canada over breakfast with a view one morning. “They think Los Cabos is only for the rich or that it’s like the rest of the country, when in fact it’s very different. In our case, our hotel is charming and very authentic with a great location. We offer more value than other places in the Mexican Caribbean.”
Vanessa Martinez, Unforgettable Escapes, agrees.
“I think the key selling point for this particular property is its location. You can't really experience a destination by staying on property, and the fact that you can walk off this property and be in the marina, or even go right into Cabo San Lucas within 15 minutes or so is a huge selling point for this property.
It’s a higher end destination, and some people think it's out of reach. Sandos brings Cabo within reach for people to be able to come here and have a really authentic Mexican experience.”
Sandos Hotels & Resorts in general have a very high repeat visitor rate, about 20% and all of their 4 properties in Mexico (PlayaCar, Caracol and Cancun) are popular with groups. The resorts are offering a 7th person free for all bookings made before July 31, 2024 for travel April 1, 2025 through December 20th, 2025. The offer is applicable to all tour operators in Canada.
“Sandos Finisterra has quickly become one of my top recommendations for wedding resorts in Mexico,” says Sarah Boville, Barefoot Travel. “The view from the mountain top terrace was absolutely breathtaking and the venue is very private, making it ideal for an intimate wedding celebration. While the beach may not be suitable for swimming, it is incredibly beautiful and provides a stunning backdrop for wedding photos, especially during sunset.”
“I see this property being best for clients who want to relax but be able to explore in town and join excursions,” Erika Champion, Wed in Destination. “It's so walkable to local stores, restaurants and clubs plus it has many swimmable beaches nearby. I love that Finisterra has only one wedding a day, this helps for a couple to be able to choose their ceremony time and location.”
Ruiz says that while the aesthetics of the property appeal to everyone, what really makes Sandos Finisterra stand out is its staff and their attention to detail and the agents agree.
“Honestly, I truly loved everything about the property,” said Amanda Leal, Now Destination Weddings. “The architecture and design of the property is unique, and the food is amazing. The staff are also wonderful, everyone is friendly and welcoming and go out of their way to make sure you have the most amazing time! It was so great to see upper management take time to welcome and wait on guests during their white party, something I have not seen another property do before.”
“My favourite part of Finisterra is the uniqueness of the property, set into the cliffs,” says Lorna Lane, Plan It Travel. “Because of the tiered layout, there are amazing views regardless of the room category you choose. But another impressive point is the truly amazing and genuine service by staff on all levels. Sandos Finisterra clearly takes pride in their customer service and also their community by participating in public beach clean-ups, Christmas toy drives for less fortunate children, and collecting pet food for the local rescues.”
