They will call you a cab and greet you cheerfully as you come and go throughout the property. We hope your vacation is filled with fun-filled unforgettable memories.

Fresh Seafood Anyone?! Don't miss out on a true Mexican experience. Caesar and his daughter are regulars on Friday afternoons. He arrives with large scallops, sea bass, grouper, parrotfish, lobster, and the largest shrimp you will ever see! All fresh from the sea. Don't be turned away by the service of the items directly from ice chests from the back of his old red pickup truck. We have had the seafood many times, it's always delicious.

If you like organic dining check out Acre and FloraFarm. They are located east of San Jose in Las Animas and offer a unique outdoor dining experience.

H, located in San Jose is another fabulous dining experience. Luis, the owner, and chef will treat you like family. reservations are recommended.

On Thursdays, San Jose del Cabo hosts an Art Walk. Many art galleries, artists, and shop owners are on hand to greet you. There is something for everyone at the Art Walk. Restaurants, bars, and stores are open for your pleasure. The streets of Downtown are closed and families and couples roam the town enjoying art, fashion, music, and food.

On Fridays, Palmilla has a Farmers Market. Nestled among upscale boutique shops are farmers with produce and homemade goods straight from the farms.

If you need accommodations before or after your stay here at 'Our Palapa'' you may want to experience, El Encanto, a quaint hotel in downtown San Jose, its ambiance is quiet and has an old-world Mexico flavor.

We provide oversized towels for the pool and beach, four beach chairs, hairdryers, and basics in the kitchen. Bring your bathing suit and toothbrush! That's all you need for an awesome time!

Enjoy!

Delightful!
We had a great stay in this very comfortable condo with amazing views. We swam in the pools every day and visited most of the recommended restaurants. It felt a little like we had our own personal concierge, as the recommendations and available services were spot on. We enjoyed it all!

Lovely View
The place was very nice and had a beautiful view. Very quiet & low key place if that is what you are seeking. It was nice to be able to use a gym one mile away for free. Had everything you needed. ****Only issue was our friends who stayed in the guest room only had luke warm water in shower. The Master bathroom shower was hot but not guest room bath. That is something we complained about but supposedly nothing could be done about it. So if I paid half for the condo, I’d want to know that going into it. Otherwise it was a nice stay and very responsible manager & owner.

Lovely Stay!
My husband and I just returned from a one week stay at Dan and Judy's beautiful condo. It was spotlessly clean when we arrived, comfortable and well decorated. We had a few questions during our stay and they were answered quickly by the owners and/or property managers. We have stayed at El Zalate many times in other condos. You cannot find a more serene and secure spot with the most incredible views! We plan to return in a year and are already looking forward to the trip.

We liked the fact that was place was clean, the view was fantastic, and grounds were kept up. The beach was almost part of the property it was so close. Having our own kitchen was so nice, made it nice for small meals or you can cook a meal too. Our communication with the property managers was very good and helpful. It was peaceful there. But, if you wanted some excitement a uber ride to town was less than 10 minutes away, you could walk it through the beach if you wanted to. Were already planning on a return visit, highly recommend this condo.

Hidden Gem
I'm hesitant to review this place because we want to keep it all to ourselves! Honestly, the pictures don't do it justice. The condo was clean, spacious and prefectly situated on the property. Gorgeous views from a comfortable balcony living room. The pools were large with ample space for guests and never crowded. With a bar and restaurant next door, fresh fish sold by locals after their day on the water, and the local supermarket a short walk or uber ride away- what more could you ask for?! Our young teen girls joined us and their room with 2 beds was a perfect fit for them. We enjoyed this so much we are already talking about our return! This was a find we were more than happy with, just don't tell anyone!

Perfecto
My wife and I spent 8 days here, and it was really nice to be at a low key property ( no time share pressure) the week was very relaxing with some golf and Thursday night art walk. We had meals at the palapa as well as Mama Mia’s next store just steps on the beach away! It was wonderful sitting on the balcony watching sunrise and drinking Mexican coffee!! A 5star get away, hoping to return again soon….. thank you Dan and Judy! Oh yeah we saw whales from the balcony too !!

Wonderful trip!
We loved our trip to San Jose del Cabo, and this apartment was simply perfect. Waking to the sound of crashing waves, sunrises over the beach, plentiful swimming, and comfortable accommodations- what more could we ask for? We loved having breakfast every morning on the balcony overlooking the beach, and our 5-year-old couldn’t get enough of the pool. Dan and Judy offered lots of recommendations ahead of time and were fantastic hosts. We hope to be back someday!

Balcony was beautiful
I rented this condo because it had a huge balcony overlooking the ocean and pool. We ate outside and lounged on their comfortable chairs and sofa outside. The flowers and palm trees added to the beauty. We had the best massage ever at the rental! All organized ahead of time. Both bedrooms had very comfortable beds and the master bathroom rainwater shower head was heaven. The kitchen was well stocked and we cooked 2 meals. The owners sent us a welcome email days before check in. Asking if we wanted the fridge stocked, massages on balcony, or a ride from airport. Great communication. One of the pools was heated. Great swim. Another pool, unheated, and a hot tub. Pool chairs facing the beach made for a relaxing day. Walking the beach was easy. We had a great meal at the restaurant next door, Mama Mia’s. Right on the beach. It was a wonderful comfy stay and I will definitely book again!!! Thank you!!!!!

Fantastic Location and Friendly People
My sister and I along with our college daughters had a wonderful stay at the Sage's condo! El Zalate is top notch with wonderful staff. Very safe location, close to restaurants and grocery stores. The beach view, pool and property is amazing. We didn't rent a car, just Uber when needed. The condo was nicely decorated and clean with a large patio and beautiful view. The beach was quiet and fun to play in the waves. We snorkeled and swam at nearby Pamilla Beach. I cannot wait to visit again someday!

WOW!!
Where to start? A million dollar view √ Beach in my front yard √ Beautiful condo √ Well stocked kitchen √ Beach toys and chairs √ Super helpful staff √ Super helpful owners √ Wonderful in the sand restaurant next door √ Shoot out to Rudy for doing our shopping and having the frig stocked the night we got there, that was amazing. We did walk down to the grocery store a few days later, not far at all. We took Uber back because we didn’t want to carry the groceries, Uber was $5.00 US. There is also a convenience store literally at the end of the drive way that sells a variety of things, they even had lactose free milk for the baby and liquor for the adults. This is a small complex with only 70 (I think) units and the majority of the owners live there at least part of the year. Everyone was so nice, they even loaned us a pool float for the 1 year old. Highly recommend this place!!!!! 5 stars to the condo and 5 stars to everyone I dealt with!!

Another great stay!
This was our second stay at the Sages’ Palapa, and we’ve already booked our third. The condo is in a wonderful location — great pool access and beach view. We saw dozens of whales from the pool area or the condo’s terrace. There is ample cookware and plenty of towels, comfy beds, and great furniture on the terrace. Many good restaurants and supermarkets are nearby. You’ll have no trouble eating well! If you’re inside, and that doesn’t happen often, there dozens of channels available on Dish TV. I can’t imagine anyone not loving this fabulous unit!

Another peaceful “home away from home” vacation
Again, we loved our stay at El Zalate! The views, the ambience, the peace and tranquillity, plus a very well supplied condo for all your cooking needs etc. was exactly what we arrived to. Dan and Judy were more than accommodating and very quick to reply to any questions that we had. Only one problem, three weeks was not enough! Anyone staying in this condo would never be did disappointed.

About the host

Hosted by Dan & Judy Sage

Host profile image
Married over 32 years, Dan & Judy live in Auburn CA have always enjoyed beachside vacations. In 2014, after many trips to Cabo, we decided to purchase a home of our own in what we consider one of the best-kept secrets in Cabo. We know you will enjoy our home as much as we do. The only question is 'When will your Adventure begin'?

Why they chose this property

Our unit is in the center of the complex facing the ocean. This is a benefit since it allows for a constant breeze from the ocean. Also, we are close to the secure parking area and the Security booth. The parking area is close, as is the elevator. This is great when carrying groceries or luggage to the unit.

What makes this property unique

Our Palapa boasts elegant, comfortable outdoor furniture. Since you will spend many relaxing hours on the balcony, you want to be sure you are comfortable! Also, due to our 3rd-floor location you enjoy views of the garden, pools, and ocean instead of at another building. We have a security front door which allows for a cool breeze and peace of mind. Often we leave the windows open at night while we sleep to the sound of the waves. Our kitchen is fully stocked with paper towels, Tupperware, zip lock bags, and many spices for gourmet cooking. Laundry and dish soap, toilet paper and mini soaps and shampoos, conditioner, and lotions are always plentiful. No need to bring your hairdryer, there is one in each bathroom along with plenty of luxurious towels. We have four Tommy Bahama beach chairs and swim noodles for your enjoyment at the beach and pool. Lastly, you will always find a cold beverage in the frig upon your arrival. There's nothing else like it!
