My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Los Cabos, and are very happy to recommend this particular condo to anyone visiting the area.
Despite some initial hiccups with our car rental at the airport (additional charges for 3rd party insurance, airport taxes, etc, etc), our transition to our vacation condo for 2 weeks was quite seamless. To avoid the car rental fiasco, you might want to simply hire a taxi to get you to the condo and rent your car through Rigo at the Casa del Mar hotel right next to the condo.
The condo sits in a gated complex and the security guard was aware of our arrival and provided a parking pass and directions to our condo, where we met Ivan, Patricia’s property manager. Ivan showed us through the condo and provided his business card for any questions or issues.
The condo is well maintained with equipped with all the necessities for our vacation stay. The kitchen is well-stocked with various spices and condiments so we inventoried what was there before making our way to the La Comer grocery store in San Jose. You also have Walmart, Chaundereil and Costco store close by. The bbq is a charcoal bbq and you may need to pick up a bag of self-lighting briquettes if you plan to use the bbq during your stay (2 full bags right now which should last a while).
The condo has 2 beach towels and a cooler bag for your trips to the pool or beach.
As you can see from the pictures, the closest pool sits behind the condo overlooking the ocean. This pool is very quiet.
There is also a swim-up bar about 100 metres (yards) just west of our condo, which is also very quiet and overlooks the ocean. As a renter, the hotel has implemented a new policy that requires you to pay a $30 resort per person per day fee if you want to buy a drink at the bar. I believe this also allows you access to some of the other hotel amenities.
You can avoid the fee by (1) bringing your own drinks to the pool - no bottles) or (2) tell your server that you are an owner (if you are okay with this).
The hotel staff were very friendly, including the reception, car rental, in-house painter, security and groundskeepers.
The property sits between San Jose and Cabos and it is necessary to drive into town for dinner, groceries, etc. If you wish to take local transit, the bus stops in front of the complex.
Patricia, thank you so much for being so responsive to my many questions.
Ivan, thank you so much for finding us a new home in San Jose.
