Villa La Estancia is amazing. Comfortable rooms and close enough to walk to the busy part of the beach. I absolutely LOVED this place. Best part of all... they are NOT pushy about their timeshare. They take about two minutes to tell you the time of the timeshare meeting and give you the phone number to call if you decide you're interested. Never heard another word about it. Incredible compared to other places we've stayed. I will stay here every time I go to Cabo San Lucas.

Rip's Bar, right outside the back side of Cabo Wabo Cantina, has the best bartenders and is a really great place to hang out. El Squid Roe is a great follow-up later in the night for a great place to dance. Don't miss the Mango Deck during the day on Medano Beach! GREAT servers and a ton of fun!

Very pleasent nice place

would like to see more restaurants at this hotel

The Villa La Estencia was a superb hotel, and the hotel staff was absolutely outstanding. No request went unanswered. The location is within convenient walking distance of Cabsos San Lucas, the Mexican resort town with many great restaurants and shops. Two minor issues precluded us from giving the hotel a five star rating. The first was low water pressure in the shower, water dribbled from the shower head and maintenance could not make it srtonger. The other issue was when it rained, the exit road from the hotel is a natural river/steam with water flowing several inches deep and you must wade thru it or take a cab to get to town. The hotel staff even requested that if we went into town, to let them know prior to leaving. Our visit was during tropical storm Rick, thus the cirucmstances were unusual. We wouldn't hesitate to go back, but not during hurricane season.

Avoid hurricane season (Sep-Oct).

Stayed here for our 20th Anniv. August 8-15. Gorgeous property; great location, across the bay from the Arch and Lovers Beach, awesome view, even at night. Very elegant but not stuffy. Friendly & helpful staff. Advantages to staying here as compared to other "hotels"; Estancia is private residences rented by the owner so grounds are for exclusive use of guests. Never felt crowded and was quiet and peaceful at night. Part of the Villa group of 3 properties so you had a choice of pools and restaurants (they are all wonderful-try the Pizza at the Palmar). One night while we were having dinner at the Palmar a Turtle came up the beach to lay her eggs, truly a once in a lifetime experience. Don't be afraid to attend their Ownership Tour, Luis was a doll and we had a great conversation. They are not pushy and it was well worth it for the "gold card" which saves you a ton of money on excursions and meals. I highly recommend the Snorkel Trip to Cabo Pulmo, about 2 hours north of Cabo on the Sea of Cortez, beautiful! Went fishing and saw hundreds of Porpoises and jumping fish; the sea is full of life here. Beach was very nice and clean, beautiful torquise water. Pool was great and never crowded, nice swim up bar with the best hamburger I have ever had. We absolutely loved Cabo. Nice town, very clean and safe. It was hot, but worth it to go this time of year if you can stand the heat; not crowded. I really can't wait to go back.

Traveler's tip:

We had a wonderful stay....The 2 bedroom condo was spacious, clean and nicely furnished. The pools were nice. Great for families.

The maintenance workers and housekeeping were in the elevators due to the service elevators being out. This made waits on the elevator too long.

Traveler's tip:

This hotel meet all of our expectations, would stay there again. While the ground floor was nice, the view would have been better in upper floors. Hotel & pool was fairly quiet, with very few children. Pool restaurant was good, steak restaurant not so good, and over priced.

Traveler's tip:

We loved this place. It is very nice, clean, well maintained. The staff were very accomodating and anxious to get you what you need. Grounds were immaculate. Rooms were lovely. Beach was nice. My only complaint about the place was that the 1 mile walk to town was a little longer than I would like. Otherwise, this is a place for a very relaxing vacation. There is no ball playing around the pool, no loud music allowed, no organized activities. This is a place to sit in a lounger on the beach or by the pool, order cold drinks, read a book, take a name, go in for a dip, and just unwind. No party atmosphere here. We did not try the food on property as there are so many options in town. I is a $7-8 cab ride into town. Highly recommend this place.

My husband and I returned to Villa la Estancia, b/c we loved our stay the first time we went. Our stay this time was wonderful as well. We love the atmosphere (tranquil), food (market also on grounds), pool, pleasant staff, and close location to town (approx. 15min walk). Los Cabo is a wonderful, relaxing vacation spot and for our next visit we will be staying at La Estancia once again.

Hotel was great! Very nice room with view of the ocean. Was not crowded at all at the end of 9/09. Service was good, grounds very well kept. We did take the tour of the time share model of which the sale pressure was not high. Actually, it was informative and we were taken to breakfast. It lasted about a hour. In addition, we got some great discounts on activities were were going to do anyway. The hotel was quieter with less children than the 2 ajoining properties which were part of the same hotel complex. That's what we were looking for, so it turned out great for us. Would stay again

If you are looking for paradise, this is the place. Our room had a spectacular view of the pool right below us and the sea of Cortez about 75 yards away. You can here the ocean at night from your room and down town is a 20 minute walk on the beach. This place might seem a little pricy, but it's worth every penny. The rooms are huge with a full kitchen and living room.The master bedroom and bath is as big as the kitchen and livingroom combined.

This hotel was chosen because the reviews mentioned that it was quiet and peaceful. It turned out to be just that and more. The service was amazing, rooms and premises immaculate and the pool was sparkling. We walked nextdoor for breakfast buffet, had the tour coordinator arrange things for us and enjoyed "Dirty Monkey" cocktails at the pool. Extremely recommend this hotel!

We took a long time to pick out hotel in Cabo, right location, price, food, comfort, etc. This was perfect for all. Not too far from town, on the beach, great rooms, the pool staff was amazing, decent food, and the little grocery store. It was perfect. We will go back.

Traveler's tip:

very nice room, spacious, clean, good location, walking distance into Cabo. restaurants are pricey, quality is good but you pay a premium. general store and cafe with internet access is very useful. staff was friendly and efficient by Mexico standards. would go back, definitely recommended.

clean , comfortable, quiet with an amazing view! Upscale all the way!

We had a wonderful stay at Villa La Estancia Friendly, comfortable, Beautiful Took Grandma, Wife, and 3 daughters

I loved my stay, everything exceeded my expectations. Great service, beautiful rooms, and reasonable priced and great tasting room service. Would definitely stay again. Classy, upscale atmosphere with not too many kids

Restaurants are great. nice dishes, cool atmosphere, but the room we stayed in was poorly managed. no hair dryer, no wine opener, no wine glasses, no chairs, no table, only one trash box in the bathroom not in living room. we called front desk few times, no answer or waited long time to be picked up.

This hotel was absolutely beautiful. We had a 2 room suite that was gorgeous. We can't say enough about how wonderful, courteous and helpful the staff was. We can't wait to go back. The location for our family was the best, close to the marina and downtown night life.

Traveler's tip:

The place is perfect.

We loved the location of Villa La Estancia. It had everything we wanted right there. Beach, pool, spa, restaurants, store, deli. We also liked the close proximity to town and golf courses. The staff were very friendly, especially the concierge staff. They went above and beyond and wowed us on several occasions. We will definitely return to Cabo and stay at Villa La Estancia!

This was our first time splurging on this type of luxury condo resort. La Estancia was amazing. The staff was attentive, helpful with local info, and of course the accomodations were fantastic. Beautiful beige marble and Mexican tile everywhere, and very spacious. The grounds were beautiful and the view of the water spectacular. I appreciated the quiet atmosphere of this complex compared to their sister facility, Villa Palmar next door, which was quite noisy with Spring Breakers. Hubby loved the fitness center which put our hometown gym to shame. Poolside service from the grill was great, the Villa's location very close to downtown and the marina, and the beach was one of the most popular in the area. We will be back!
