Both Russ and I, and his entire family are just blown away by the fantastic trip we had to Casa La Laguna. We want to thank you for all of your attention to detail that made the trip completely perfect in every way. First of all, the house itself is spectacular…even better than the pictures on your website! We were welcomed with guacamole and margaritas which really hit the spot, and we enjoyed the amazing view complete with breaching whales and jumping bat rays. Angel and Tina were so kind and attentive, and took care of us every step of the way. We were continuously surprised by every meal, and couldn’t believe how much delicious food we received each day. Betty’s 80th birthday was perfect…the flowers on the dining room table were gorgeous and Tina came right over to her and hugged her and sang “Happy Birthday” which was so precious. There really is nowhere in the world where we feel we could have had a more relaxing, beautiful and luxurious trip than the time we spent at Casa La Laguna. Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts…it is a vacation that we will never forget! Karen & Russ Laguna Niguel, California

We rented Casa La Laguna for one night for our wedding. The property is breathtaking and served as the perfect venue for our BIG DAY! After touring eight other properties with no luck, we booked Casa La Laguna sight unseen, per the recommendation of our wedding coordinator. The second we saw it, we knew we had made the perfect choice! The villa is very luxurious and looked absolutely stunning with our wedding decor. From the beginning, Mr. Schneider made the rental process seamless, which is important amongst all the chaos that comes with planning a wedding. We spent our wedding night at the villa and awoke to a delightful brunch prepared exactly as requested by a very generous staff that made sure we had everything we needed. We were surprised to see the villa had been cleaned so quickly, there was no trace a wedding had taken place there the night before. It is evident the staff takes pride in maintaining the property. We hope to take an annual trip to Los Cabos for our anniversary and stay at Casa La Laguna with family and friends. Erika and Shane San Francisco, CA

I am taking the time to write and thank you for all of your help arranging our stay at Casa La Laguna. I also want to add that the service and attention to detail by Angel and his staff was second to none. I have been trying to think of some very clever things to write, but there are too many to memorialize. Let me just say a few. Angel was so incredibly helpful and attentive. His food? Amazing! His desire to make the trip memorable? Unsurpassed! The stay exceeded any and all of our expectations and we definitely plan on staying at Casa La Laguna again, hopefully this summer, but only if Angel is working!!! Please share this with the homeowner as he should know that Angel and staff are the best and make it possible to have a real vacation.

My family and I had the absolute best experience at Casa La Laguna! The views and decor were breathtaking. The staff on hand took care of every need we had, and we ate some of the best meals we have ever had from Chef Angel. This vacation was exactly what we had ordered.... stunning ambiance, amazing food & drinks, and we didn't have even one worry. Our entire stay was carefree and left us only times for laughing and smiling. The best vacation all of us have ever been on! This is experience really defines what a vacation should be. We are so spoiled; now not sure how we will ever vacation anywhere else again!

The wedding was absolutely fabulous, flawless and beautiful. Best of all, everyone had such an amazing time. Casa La Laguna struck a cord with many guests that want to celebrate/visit the villa again for their own reasons and events. The layout of the villa was perfect to accommodate a wedding. Doug, I can’t tell you enough how incredibly helpful, gracious, and talented your staff is. From the food, to the massages, to the many helping hands, to Angel making an extra provision run during the wedding reception and helping me find a first aid kit at 1:00 am… The overall experience was, for lack of a better word, SURREAL!

Our family just returned home TO A COLD MICHIGAN after NEW YEARS week at your BEAUTIFUL VILLA in San Jose Del Cabo, Los Cabos, Mexico. It was a genuine "wow"! Our one daughter and husband will soon return to NYC after two more days of diving off La Paz. Our other daughter, her three girls, and husband have returned to Seattle, Washington “as happy as clams’’. Our two sons could not be with us this past week as they have businesses and families in Shanghai, China and Rome, Italy where they had to remain. We have vacationed all over the world, by cruise, used 5-star hotels, BEEN ON safaris…… and lived in a roman villa for 4 years. We have also rented villas all over the Caribbean, Hawaii, Africa and Europe. NONE ARE AS WELL MANAGED OR AS COMFORTABLE AS YOUR ‘’CASA LA LAGUNA’’. YOU CAN BE PROUD OF THE STAFF’S ATTENTION TO CLEANLINESS, THEIR POLITE DEMEANOR, AND THE FACT THAT ALL OF THE FACILITY’S MECHANICS ARE IN FINE WORKING ORDER. I FOUND ANGEL’S ACCOUNTING AND LEDGER TO BE EASILY READABLE AND ORGANIZED. HE IS A FINE CHEF AND SURELY DOES PREPARE A GREAT LUNCH AND BREAKFAST. THE BEACH VIEWS WERE SPECTACULAR, THE SAND CLEAN AND WONDERFUL. THE POOL AND SLIDE WERE A BIG HIT TO THE KIDS. THE PALAPA WAS EXCELLENT FUN, THE DINING AND SITTING AREAS ARE VERY PLEASANT. THE BEDROOMS AND BATHROOMS WERE FIRST CLASS !! ON A SCALE OF 1-10… YOU GET A 9.7 !!!! WE LOVED IT. ALL 9 OF US. Peter Michigan

I want to say that your staff at Casa La Laguna are the warmest and most attentive people. They would do everything with a smile which made our experience there even more enjoyable. The food was amazing with first class presentation. All of our guests raved about the massages, saying they were the best they’ve had in a long time. I had the best massage I have ever had. I could go on and on, but suffice it to say that we would love to come back and would recommend without reservation that anyone who stays here will fall in love with this place. Thank you to the entire staff and the Schneiders. Pam Orange County, CA

I had the opportunity to visit Casa La Laguna for a girls' trip to Cabo San Lucas. This was the perfect venue for a girls' trip from the moment we arrived until we reluctantly had to leave 5 days later. When one arrives at the beautiful arched entrance, you are swept away by the classic Mexican architecture and the two level infinity pool which leads right down to the beach. The view is something out of a postcard-seamless. As we walked into the beautiful great room, the staff had margaritas and fabulous appetizers waiting for us. The staff was on hand to provide anything we needed from gourmet meals to spa treatments, all of which were beyond our expectations. In addition to the in-villa spa, there is a complete state-of-the-art fitness center. We each had our own room that with a fantastic view of the Sea of Cortez and exquisite decor. I can't recommend Casa La Laguna enough. This venue is perfect for a family reunion (think extended family-sleeps 13), a couples trip, a corporate retreat (perfect place to reflect, collaborate and relax), or girls' trip. This retreat has everything one might want in a vacation. I cannot wait for my next visit to Casa La Laguna. Thank you to the Schneiders for envisioning such a great retreat for fun, fellowship and relaxation. Anne Newport Beach, CA
