Cabo Villas has been my preferred resort in Cabo since 2004. I like it for its size... more like a "boutique" resort, than one of the U-shaped mega resorts. The location is unbeatable if you're looking for proximity to downtown. One can easily walk to and from there, as well as around the marina. The municipal bus transports you into town for less than a dollar. Also, it fronts the only swimmable beach in the area. Medano Beach. Beach bars, glass-bottom boats, and jet skiing abound along with access to "mobile" vendors hawking their trinkets on the beach for you to take home as gifts. I fear however, that Cabo Villas is losing that intimate feel that makes it so enjoyable when I stay here with the imminent construction of the new tower. Don't get me wrong... the renovations in the beach tower are welcome. It's about time! The furnishings and rooms were becoming old and worn. Much like the hardscape around the pool bar. Also, consider resurfacing the infinity pool because it tears the skin on the bottom of one's feet. Particularly the toes. The new building looks like it is going to be beautiful. I wish you luck on completion by January 2018! Update from October 2020... Cabo Villas/Cachet Beach Club is still my favorite place in Cabo. Staff is super friendly and courteous, and observed healthy practices by wearing masks. They kept surfaces really clean, especially those high touch areas. I was told that the resort maintained an occupancy of no more than 50%. Could definitely see that. However, in the beach club that was not readily apparent. Although I regularly practiced mask wearing around the resort, other guests did not. I suppose that's their prerogative. After 15 years, the units still look a little staid and could use a few touch-ups here and there. New building that is still under construction looks like it will be beautiful once complete... if the models are any indication.Corazón Cabo It's not what it once was. Yes it's larger and more modern and caters to a younger crowd... but I will be honest and say I miss the intimate setting. Update April 2022: The new building is finished and gorgeous. The 2 and 3 bedroom suites are spacious and well appointed. However the older building in front of the infinity pool and closest to the beach are looking dated and in need of some paint particularly on the beach front balconies. The walls and floors are still thin and sounds from the next room and outside are easily heard. The electronic candles don't have batteries or the batteries are dead. More than one poolside chair had a ripped seam. Accessibility might be challenging for those with mobility issues. Lots of stairs. There are elevators but you have to navigate a maze of levels between older and newer buildings to access them as well as reaching any of the pools, of which there are 4. So depending on what you're looking for-- crowded pool decks and a mish mash of music pumping from different levels all sounding like a cacophony of sound, then this place is for you. Kudos to all the working staff from the front desk, to the cleaning staff, to the bartenders. Super nice people aiming to satisfy my needs and wants. grade A You don't get a location much better than this this close to town and on the beach. grade A+ caveat- be prepared to cough up some coin to and from the airport. New building and rooftop Pool and bar. A- You have to book a reservation to be pool side because the area is currently small... apparently to be expanded later. The problem was I made a reservation for 11am and the "concierge" had me down for 10:30. So when I arrived at 11, I had lost my lounge chair. They made up for it in about 45 minutes and located a chair for me. Check out- watch for added expenses not mentioned at check-in, like donations to Children foundation and Resort fees that look suspiciously look like wifi charges that they supposedly waived. Also, breakfast was complimentary, but it too showed up on...
Read moreWe booked this resort for a close friends wedding. Upon check in we were greeted by the front desk staff. Check in took quite a while. We were told by Jesus everything had to be charged to the room and they wanted a credit card on file. After confirming that wasn’t true we were then checked in. We were escorted by a woman named Laticia that booked us for their vacation club/time share presentation. We had to put a cash deposit down for their presentation. After a long day of traveling we were exhausted. The elevators and floors were tricky so we asked for a map at the front desk and they did not have one. We had to get off one elevator walk around and get on another elevator to get to our room. We went to get food on the top floor which was a brewery. The food was good and there was live entertainment that was good as well. We get back to the room and the TVs are stuck on a promotional video about room service. We were exhausted so we would handle it the following day. We went to the presentation which they repeatedly explained it’s not a time share but a vacation club. The presentation was good until it came time to invest and they asked for 18k down. Once we declined they became quite pushy and wouldn’t accept no for an answer. We decided we would relax in one of the beautiful pools. We went to the top floor which has amazing views but we’re told we needed a reservation to get in the pool. While the place appeared empty there were no open reservations for our entire stay. We went to a different pool and enjoyed pool side drinks and food. The wait staff were very kind. We notified Jesus the TV was not working and we needed more wash cloths as we were only provided 1 in the room and we’re told they would send some one. We waited for hours and called back 3x before we got housekeeping to bring another wash cloth and towel. No one ever came for the tv. I went to the front desk and let them know and was told their tech dept would have to handle it . They sent some one 2 hours later that had no clue what to do because he was maintenance . I went to the desk and was told the tech dept was gone for the day. The next day was our friends wedding. It was absolutely beautiful and the wait staff was great ! We enjoyed the beautiful views. After dinner I headed over to the desk notifying Jose that again for the third day it wasn’t fixed. He said he noted it but he will look into it. Day 4 we visited more restaurants on the resort and went on a sunset boat ride on the marina. When we got back no one was able to help us. We went back to the room to heat up our food. As soon as we got back we noticed 2 roaches crawling off the dishes. We were absolutely disgusted at that point. We only had 1 more night. Upon leaving we couldn’t get any assistance setting up a shuttle as we did when we arrived however it was quite easy to catch a cab to the airport. I gave this location a 2 star rating based off the customer service and condition of the room. If I had to rate the wait staff at the restaurants , pools, and lounge areas it would be 5 stars. The front desk staff were very little to no help. We were told they were overwhelmed by booking multiple weddings that weekend. One alone was over 100 guest. While I understand how stressful that could be the guest should not be negatively impacted due to the lack of preparation for a booking the resort accepted. While we are already planning our next trip to Mexico unfortunately we will not be booking with Corazon los Cabos. I wish we would have had a better experience, the view is absolutely beautiful. We will definitely be looking at other “vacation clubs” in the area to make this a regular...
Read moreCorazon Towers is the best place to stay. I've not had a bad view of the ocean yet. I am a Timeshare holder. . My last stay was 4 nights and I was with My 2 girlfriend's. We decided beforehand that We would do the All Inclusive for 3 days of Our 4 nights there. Warning ⚠️ You are limited to a specific menu and alcoholic drinks, and you are limited on the hours you can use it. From 11AM the 1st day until 11AM your 3rd day. Not exactly 3 full days for the cost. We arrived at 5PM. We had until 7PM to eat and drink at the lower pool. We like the menu there. Then, We find out We can only order off a specific menu. It's like We are dirt for doing the All Inclusive. So, We definitely didn't get Our money's worth the 1st day which was a Sunday, arriving so late, but We had no other choice. Monday and Tuesday were the only days We got enough for Our money, but with the limited menu. I went to the upper pool and asked for a White Russian. The alcohol was allowed on the All Inclusive. But, the bartender had no idea how to make One. It was so bad, I threw it away. 3 ingredients and he was clueless. They are usually very good with English there. But, I never went back to that upper pool bar for anything. Because, I am a Timeshare holder I could go to the Brewery and listen to live music for 30% off. I still don't understand after all these years, this Bar is not a part of the Resort. It's like They discourage you from going. It's not a bad place to hang out. Then you have the Rooftop Bar. They used to change even Members $20 just to go up there. Now, They allow it, but you must spend $50 minimum to go up there. There's a lap pool that is useless for most people visiting, and it's pretty windy up there. Everything has gone up in price, so just a couple drinks would run $50 easily. Plus, you would probably want to order an appetizer, so you'd have no problem spending $50. But, to Require it is just beyond Me if They really want people to enjoy it and go up there. It is the tallest building down there and if you stay in the Tower. The rooms are fully equipped with pot's and pans, a blender, coffee maker etc.. So, as We have found if you're staying a full week, go to Fresco vs Walmart because if you don't know Espanol you won't know what your buying and nobody speaks English. My point is make your own meals and save a lot of money!! They have a Microwave and oven in every unit as far as I know. I'm sure some may only come with a refrigerator. The best rooms come with everything you need. And, I always tip well and even leave a tip for the Maid service. They're all hard workers and get paid nothing compared to the USA. Our pool bar attendant only makes $7 a day and he works his butt off all day in the heat. Treat Them the way you would want to be treated and show it by a generous tip. They will remember you and give you VIP treatment the rest of your stay there. Lot's of activities to do also. They Pressure you every time you go to go through a Timeshare review. It's such a waste of your time. The biggest thing They need to improve is to put a little Store on the property. My friend got sick and really needed some crackers or soup, but, not even the restaurants had anything available. A Starbucks would be a great addition too! Unless you have a lot of money, don't bother with the Timeshare presentation! It's a waste of your whole day. They'll tell you it's just for breakfast, but believe Me, They won't give up easily to Sell you and they give you plenty of alcohol to make you NOT make the best decisions on purpose! Enjoy...
