Dear Steven and Lisa,We just arrived back home to snowy Fairbanks, Alaska. After leaving beautiful Villa Las Palmas, we had a stopover in Seattle to visit family for a week before returning home. (Seattle served as our transition between Cabo San Lucas and Fairbanks!)First of all, when our church surprised us with this trip and showed us the website for your villa, I experienced an extreme lack of faith! Surely what I was seeing on my computer must be some kind of mistake. Maybe we were just going to share that villa with other guests. It couldn't all be just for us, could it? My husband and I really were skeptical of the whole situation until arrival. Wonderful Manuel calmed our fears immediately with his warm greeting and smile. He made us feel right at home. From Day 1, we felt like we were in our own little world there at Villa Las Palmas.My husband not only pastors a church here in Fairbanks, but he is also busy as a custom home builder. Because of this busy schedule, we were in great need of some "get away" time. There simply could not have been a better place for what we needed than your villa.Thank you for saying "Yes" to our inquiry for your villa!! We feel we experienced a little bit of "heaven on earth"Ron and Mary RobinsonP.O. Box 10656Fairbanks, AK 99710

Owner response:I am truly choked up Mary, thank you. It was our pleasure. Please come back for a visit.

I had a FABULOUS time! Such an amazing stay that Lisa came close to having a full time renter! The villa was really perfect for me, and I will bring family/friends someday. I felt extremely safe as a single female, and very lucky to be there. The house and setting are perfect! I traveled by myself for some quiet, alone time. I own a 3 bedroom time share in Cabo, 4 weeks/year on the beach. However, I do not like the noise and crowds. This was the BEST move I've made for myself. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for an amzazing location, all the comfort, with privacy! Many Thanks to you :) Can't wait to get back to the Baja, it's been snowing everyday here in Vail since I got home!

Owner response:Jenn, you were an absolute joy to communicate with. We look very forward to your return to our special oasis. Villa Las Palmas awaits you.

Dear Lisa, Just a note to let you know how much my family enjoyed our stay at your villa in Los Cabos in December. It was perfect. We had a spectacular wedding at Fiesta and then a relaxing vacation that included catching 11 marlin weighting up to 150 lbs, a 100lb yellow fin tuna and several dolphin. My husband and son are "hooked" on the fishing and want to return. We also enjoyed the waterfront eating at Solomons (great food) and listening to local talent at the bars. Of course we took a glass bottom tour to the arch. Everthing was perfect . Hated to return to the freezing weather in D.C. last night!! Thanks again for letting us share in the use of your beautiful home! Lynn dotson

Owner response:You are so welcome! We are thrilled everything went off without a hitch! Hope to have you return to the villa and create more special memories! Cheers.

There really is no way that I can adequately express how wonderful our days at the villa were. We arrived to find Juanita with open arms to welcome us to paradise. My son and I left my daughter and my son's girlfriend to unpack while we took a taxi to rent a vehicle. We did our shopping for groceries and when we returned the chefs, Hector and Jesus, whom we had prebooked through Cabo Concierge were serving appetizers on the patio. They took the groceries and stored them away while my family and I enjoyed cocktails. They prepared a wonderful dinner...so wonderful that we booked them for 3 more nights! We also used the BBQ ourselves and took advantage of the excellent restaurants in the area. We all enjoyed having our morning coffee at the pool...no competition for lounge chairs or ideal spots! That was heaven! My son found excellent surfing just minutes away and the beach was perfect for the girls to walk for miles seeing no one but the pelicans. The privacy was so soothing. The phone and internet hookup made it so easy for us all to keep connected to the things that needed our attention back home in Canada. We were overwhelmed with the view from the rooftop and were fortunate enough to witness the full moon rise across the ocean while we sipped margaritas in the moonlight. The villa itself is charming. Being an early riser I loved watching dawn break as I showered...my shower overlooked the ocean. Sometimes it is the simplest things that bring incredible joy. I loved sitting at the massive wood dining table and looking out through the window that was covered with bouganvillea blooms. Spectacular! Our 8 days at the villa ended far too fast and then we moved to the Cabo RIU for a week for a destination wedding with several of our friends. The contrast was amazing. We waited in a long line to register, our rooms were not ready and when we did get to them they felt so small and cramped. There was too much noise and too many people around the pool and at the beach. We all missed the serenity of Villa Las Palmas. We told our friends of our experience and I think they will do a Villa holiday next time. We will certainly repeat! Thank you Lisa for giving us the opportunity to have a memorable family event. It was perfect!

Owner response:Hi Gay, we thank you for your kind comments and are pleased to meet and surpass your expectations, particularly during an important wedding event. Thank you in return for treating our wonderful staff with kindness and respect. We hope you, your family and friends will return in the near future to again enjoy all that Villa Las Palmas has to offer.

We had a great stay at Villa Las Palmas!! I would highly recommend it for families. My boys are 7 & 4 and they had a blast in the pool! I write this for people with kids to let them know this is better than staying at any hotel! We rented a car so we could zoom into town. The villa has a great parking spot! Went shopping the first day and barely ever left the villa!! The kids liked having food readily available instead of always going out. My four year would nap in the house and I could watch the seven year old swim....very nice!! The grounds are well keep and very quiet :) Lisa, you have thought of everything in your villa!! My kids love all the sand toys and snorkel gear!! We will be returning and recommending it to our friends and family. Thank you for some wonderful memories!!!

We had a wonderful time at Villa Las Palmas. The house far exceeded our expectations. It's close to Cabo and San Jose but you'll find you'd rather be sitting poolside at the house or enjoying the wonderful beach. We also used the concierge service which is highly recommended. Also, Juanita was great - she brought margaritas to us each day. Overall it was a wonderful vacation for 3 couples. Thanks Lisa!! You'll be hearing from us again!! Guy

Owner response:Fabulous! We agree that while out exploring we can't wait to get back home to the villa! We welcome your return any time.

Our stay at Villas Las Palmas was fantastic. We had a party of 6 and there was more than enough room. Manny and Juanita were extremely helpful and accomodating. The beach is a very short walk away and the pool area is perfect for hanging out both during the day and at night. Downtown Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo are each only a short cab ride away. The pictures of the villa on the website really don't do it justice. I would definitely recommend it to family and friends and would love to go back soon.

Owner response:Thank you for the kind words. We agree and hear often from our guests that the website and photos don't do justice to the villa's beauty, views and tropical grounds! We hope to see you again soon for another visit!

Lisa, I wanted to send you a quick note to let you know how much we enjoyed staying at Villa Las Palmas. The villa and grounds were beautiful and the location was fantastic. We all agreed it was the most relaxing vacation we have had in a long time. The services provided were exceptional. Hector was very accommodating. We had to leave fairly early on Saturday morning for the airport and were unable to thank him personally. We left him a gratuity on the table with a note. The Concierge service was also fantastic. The Spa arrangements they made were so good that we arranged for a second visit at the end of the week. This was our first visit to Cabo and we look forward to returning again soon. When we return we hope that Villa Las Palmas is part of our visit. I would highly recommend your villa to others seeking a relaxing vacation in Cabo. Thanks again, Jack

Owner response:We are very pleasd to be were able to meet your expectations and more. We hope to see you in the near future at the villa. Thank you for the kind words.

We had a lovely time at VLP over New Year's Eve weekend. The house is in an incredible location, the beach is lovely and the pool area fabulous. We loved the privacy of it all (both beach and house). 5 of us stayed and had plenty of room to ourselves. Another benefit was we were close enough able to spa at Las Ventanas Al Paraiso and watch their fireworks display from the rooftop patio! We had a bonfire on the beach and truly enjoyed every moment at VLP.
