I had an amazing time! The staff at this property were above and beyond. From the concierge, reception to the pool and restaurant staff were AMAZING. Erik was súper profesional and polite. The Villa room was super clean and spacious. The view from my balcony was incredible. Morning coffee watching the whales from my balcony. ♥️ The only thing, is that entertainment is nice, however, after 8:30sh to 9:00 pm is over, and nothing after 10pm. So, if you want to have more fun you will have to go out...

Booked a junior suit for 4 adults & we loved it! It's colorful and has lounging areas around the pool which is next to the hotel restaurant. Got a free delicious breakfast every morning, it was honestly really good food. One rainy night we watched soccer, ate dinner & got great drinks at the bar & it was great we weren't missing out because of the weather, great time. The staff was very nice and helpful. The room was cute & shower was a good size with plenty of storage to hang clothes. The...

We make a point of coming to Cabo a couple of days earlier and always stay here and then transfer to our resort. The staff and rooms are wonderful. Clean and in a great location. We are already booked for our trip in November and are grateful this little Treasure is so affordable! Salvitores is downstairs and we make sure we have a reservation waiting for us when we arrive. As you are showering and getting ready to enjoy an evening out in Cabo, a wonderful aroma of Italian food fills up...

Colonia El Progreso

10/10 Excellent

We recently booked City Express as a last minute booking based on the fact that it was inexpensive, available and newly built. We would rather be in a new building that was less lux than a tired old operation that is more upscale. City Express is very similar to a Holiday Inn Express in than it is purpose built for professional travelers that want everything to work and don't care so much about the location by the beach etc. That said it is within easy view of the $400 a night Riu...

Monse, Daniella and Octavio were very gracious and accommodating. This place was a good home base for our golfing trip (golfed at Palmilla, Cabo Del Sol and Quivera). We actually had a place in San Jose Del Cabo but that was too far so we switched to this one and we are glad we did. Basically, this is really good alternative to an all inclusive resort that you never leave if you plan on going all over the place. and want convenience.

Cabo San Lucas Centro

10/10 Excellent

We spent 5 nights at Casa Bella and found it to be outstanding. The weather prevented any beach opportunities due to some high winds and sea conditions. Barbara and the staff at Casa Bella did everything under the sun to make our stay comfortable and entertaining. I am a pretty picky client and I was not disappointed. The hotel is small, personal, very clean and well kept. The breakfast was well prepared with excellent presentation. No lines, no bracelets, no second class citizen feelings....

Amazing view. Amazing staff. Everyone is very professional and courteous. Breakfast is amazing and my wife and I ate their French toast nearly everyday. Here are a few pointers when staying at The Cape: 1) Pick your seats at pool prior to going to breakfast and leave non valuable items on the seat. Best real estate goes quickly. 2) Eat their French toast it is too die for. 3) There is absolutely no way to swim in the beach. Too dangerous. Still an amazing view. Watch the surfers catch waves...

Location was great for our purpose to explore the marina for shopping and restaurants without being limited to a resort. It’s an older resort but kept up nicely. I would recommend the fifth or sixth floor for a better view of the marina. We didn’t go all inclusive (no high end alcohol) but recommend purchasing the daily breakfast buffet. The only complaint is that they charge for in-room coffee you make from the coffee maker. The marina restaurants and boutiques can be expensive but the nearby...
