  My husband and I visited San Jose del Cabo last year and fell in love with the town, but felt that our stay at an all-inclusive resort was a bit loud, as well as limiting in terms of checking out all the excellent restaurants in the area. We decided to go back again this winter and rent a condo, but we had no idea how lucky we'd be in our selection. We rented a car, as we had last year, which makes seeing all the sights much more convenient. Parking was available just steps from our unit. We were amazed when we walked in. Everything about this condo is beautiful and in excellent condition, from high-quality linens to the leather couch in the living room. The view is almost unbelievable. We slept with the patio doors open to hear the waves all night... it's an experience I will never forget. The property is quiet, stunningly landscaped, and spectacularly clean. The pools were warm, the hot tub very hot, and there were always plenty of chairs. Each person we encountered was very friendly (both employees and residents). The full kitchen saved us money on breakfasts and lunches, and the washer/dryer saved luggage space since we didn't have to pack much. There is not a single thing that could have been better... I highly recommend a stay at this property.

  This is the second year we have stayed in Les and Sonja’s condo and keep coming back because everything is top-notch (and it feels like home). The beds are fabulous, the view from the deck is magnificent and the condo is equipped with everything you will ever need. In the mornings, I can’t wait to get up and have my coffee on the deck and look for whales. The show the whales put on this year right in front of the condo was unbelievable. Some as close as 100 meters offshore. Les is very easy to work with and it says a lot when the owner calls to ensure that your stay is perfect. If you want a quiet, relaxing holiday where you can walk the beach for miles and feel totally safe, this is the place for you. We’re already counting the days till we return next year.

  stayed for ~2 weeks with 2 young kids and was very satisfied with the condo. It was exactly as advertised and was particularly happy with the high-quality finishes (furniture, bedding) and mechanicals (appliances, showers, A/C). Location is good as it's close to things in san jose, but a car is needed and the surf at this location is too high for swimming. working with Les is straightforward, from the cost/payment to condo instructions.

  This vacation was our first time in the Cabo area of Mexico and the El Zalate condo turned out to be a great place to start exploring and a great place to come back to.Les is a good host and is happy to supply you with suggestions to make your holiday a great experience.The condo is as advertised:complete kitchen with a great stove,nicely appointed bedrooms ,spacious bathrooms and comfortable living areas.This is a place to live both inside and outside.There is good access to the deck from both bedrooms and living room.Great views of the sea ,fishing boats and the whales.Garden and pool area are well kept and secure .El Zalate makes for a well positioned home base for exploring the region.San Jose del Cabo is a must see:a short and inexpensive taxi ride takes you into town from the taxi stand next door.You will enjoy the many aspects this vacation home has to offer no matter what kind of vacation you are after. We highly recommend this condo.

  Perfect condo in a perfect setting! Thank you Les and Sonia for sharing your wonderful condo with us. Everything was absolutely perfect from the excellent mattresses (we slept like babies to the sound of breaking waves) to the gourmet top notch kitchen (which we didn't take advantage of). Every detail was well thought out and we where in want or need on nothing. We especially enjoyed the huge balcony which had three living spaces, two seating areas and an outdoor dining table... Fablous! Your onsite property manager Gail Christy was wonderful.. We had a minor problem with the pilot light blowing out, due to high winds... She had someone there with in a few minutes to relight it! I look forward to renting your condo again in 2012

  We loved El Zalete, and would reccomend it to any our our family members, Les was on the spot and they had everything in the Condo you could possibly imagine. The view was great and the furnishings we fabulous. It was a very streamlined process and simple to use we will definately be coming back. We really enjoyed gettting out of the hustle and bustle and choas of Cabo.

  March 2009 Dear Les and Sonja, Our thanks for allowing us to stay at your unit. The amenities were perfect for our holiday. The previous guests were thoughtful and left us some cold Cervesa in the fridge so we had time to sit on the huge balcony overlooking the Sea of Cortez and gaze at the beautiful pools, grounds and beach prior to going to Mega to get supplies. Everything one would require to "make yourself at home" could be found in the unit plus easy access to the Mega store was only minutes away. The close proximity to the ocean almost felt as if the condo shook from the huge waves crashing on the beach - so surreal and relaxing both at the same time. The breaching of whales a half mile out made morning coffee and the Mexican sunrise even more enjoyable. The laid back attitude of San Jose del Cabo, the seafood and fresh produce vendors outside the condo unit all added to a most memorable stay. We found other El Zalate guests most helpful and friendly in making this an enjoyable and relaxing stay. We really enjoyed the Vonage line and computer to stay connected to family and friends left at home. Most definitely 402 El Zalate is our place to stay next year! Wayne & Sal Knuts

  April 2009 Thanks for the use of your condo during our stay. We really enjoy that area of San Jose and found the complex and especially your condo, first class. We enjoyed the deck and found that leaving the door open with the breeze blowing through, we rarely needed to use the AC. The condo facilities; wonderful beds, towels, kitchen and deck were a treat and made us feel right at home. It was great meeting you and Sonja. Your restaurant recommendations were appreciated with our favourites from our previous visits and your recommendations are still Cynthia’s and Morgan’s. And, George confirmed that my margarita recipe is the one to use! I’ve already sent the link to your condo to many friends and colleagues.Thanks again and we hope to be able to stay in your condo again!Elaine & Bob LaingSt. Albert, Alberta

  Our stay at the condo was really enjoyable. It was located directly by the beach. You could hear the sound of crashing waves, and soak into the pool/ocean view with the moon in the background from the unit. The unit was well-equipped with several eateries taxi stand closeby. Overall, splendid & thanks.
