My husband and I have stayed at your Sampaguita Villa over the years and love it. We enjoy the beautifully manicured gardens complete with humming birds hovering around us in the early morning while we eat our breakfast on the deck. The pool and hot tub are well maintained. We love to walk on the beach, which is quiet and peaceful, often witnessing whales or rays surfacing on the water. The villa is well appointed, very clean and comfortable. We love to cook, so we often buy our food from the local market or the Mega, that are so close by. My husband often finds some tennis partners staying at Sampaguita, so we get to know other guests there. Access to golf courses are close and first class.My favourite activity is the art walk on Thursday nights. The sound of the crashing waves often put us to sleep at night. I like that it is a smaller, gated community, as we always feel safe. Spending time at Sampaguita feels like a true get away.

We were delighted when we arrived at Sampaguita Villas for our week of rest and relaxation. It was perfect. We felt like we had the whole place to ourselves. The condo seems somewhat secluded from everything yet it's an easy walk to the grocery store and other amenities. Having a large grocery store so close to the condo was a great convenience. We were able to get everything we needed and ended up staying in most nights. We actually had a hard time tearing ourselves away from the condo and ended up not seeing much of Cabo. We did get to downtown San Jose however and it was worth the outing. It's very charming and again, a short drive from the condo. We loved strolling the streets in the evening and browsing all the art shops. This is one of the most enjoyable vacations we've ever had. We'll definitely be returning to Cabo again soon, as well as this condo. It fit our needs perfectly, it was very clean comfortable and it would be tough to beat this location that offers so much. We'll be back.

Overall nice place if you are extremely quiet and don't mind a bedroom in the garage

My wife and I spent a week with our two kids (6 & 8) at Sampaguita Villas in March 2010 -- it's a lovely place except two issues. First are the neighbors who complained. Evidently children playing in the pool at 5 p.m. is a distraction for other residents, who complained to the condo president who harassed us multiple times. Another owner at the property warned us the condo president likes to harass the "renters." He told us we weren't welcome back. No worries there. Also, while this property is advertised as a three bedroom unit -- the third bedroom is a bed in the GARAGE, complete with loud squeaking garage door. If you have no children or very quiet kids and don't mind a bed in the garage, this place will definitely meet your expectations...

Owner response:This renter is absolutely right. Sampaguita is a very quiet complex, as advertised, and renters need to be respectful of other occupants. This renter would be much better suited to an all inclusive environment. We stayed at Sampaguita just after this renter departed, with 5 boys under the age of 10 and did not have a single incident, noise or otherwise. The garage has been converted to a 3rd bedroom complete with tile floor, painted walls, Mexican furniture, king bed and a garage door that has now been covered will fabric drapery. Pictures to come shortly. We are not unhappy this renter won't be returning. There are several all inclusive resorts in the Los Cabos area to meet his needs.

The villla is in a wonderful, quiet compound with a beautiful pool and ocean front view. The furniture is comfortable and the kitchen is well stocked with basics- we cooked most of our meals at home. It is close to the Mega and only about 1 1/2 miles to downtown--it is an easy walk or a quick, 70 peso bus ride. We enjoyed shopping and trying different restaurants in San Jose--we went to Cabo on the bus one day--don't bother--it's dirty and expensive--San Jose is much nicer! We loved sitting around the pool and beach combing. Thanks, Dianne and Paul for sharing your special home with us!

The condo at Sampaguita was beyond any expectations we had. My family was very impressed and our stay there was so fantastic. It was like a tropical paradise with the sound of the waves, the beautiful grounds and the beach access. Mark and Chichella, the managers, were wonderful to us and made our stay very comfortable. We truly fell in love with San Jose and the people. We can't wait to go back.
