My husband and I hosted a truly spectacular 60th birthday weekend for him with 18 guests at Casa Theodore, mostly couples. The house itself looks as pictured, in some instances better, and is well-designed for large groups. The pool/jacuzzi and sunbathing deck are gorgeous and the whale watching in February was INSANE. Our master suite was perfect; it is right off the pool, which makes sense, but can also be loud if you are trying to rest while your guests are carousing. Most of the bedrooms are large with en suite bathrooms and gorgeous ocean views; however, there are a couple of bedrooms that were not usable for our guests--one that is on the non-guest side of the house where the staff works (ideal for a nanny or in our case our event planner) and one that is very dark with only one high skinny window. There is also a tiny bedroom on the second level down that can only accommodate a twin bed but has a lovely ocean view. As other reviews mention, the two nicest guest suites are two floors down from the main space and incur a separate per night charge in addition to the VRBO price if you want to use them (which we did). They have a kitchen and living room between them--almost like a separate apartment from the rest of the house.
Casa Theodore is a full-service venue as much as it is a house, which I did not fully appreciate until we got into the planning details. It has its own suite of vendors, which guests are required to use, including catering staff (which cook in an industrial kitchen on property separate from the space guests use), spa services, concierge, housecleaning, etc. All of the services were more than adequate and the food, in particular, was excellent. We had delicious breakfast prepared for our group each morning, lunch and/or snacks, and dinner on 2 nights. Everything is locally sourced and fresh and the house-made salsas and avocado crema are sublime. We also truly loved having our bartender throughout the afternoon and evenings. The owner, Michael, was also on hand much of the time to supervise meal service and translate when necessary.
The entire experience ended up being quite pricey, but a lot of that is attributed to our choices to utilize everything the house had to offer (catering, on-site spa services, servers, bartender) and to stock up on fine liquors and wines. We would happily return if we have occasion to host another large group in Cabo.
Thank you, Michael and everyone at Casa Theodore!
