We stayed here the last week of July and everything was perfect. The weather was amazing! The place was incredibly clean, beautiful, and safe, and the view was incredible.
There are a couple of things to note that we didn’t know beforehand because no one else mentioned them…the resort itself (Villa La Estancia) is a cash free resort, meaning you give them your card info at the beginning and you can charge things to your room. There are a few restaurants to choose from, and you have access to the ones at the other two resorts next to this one as well.
This particular place is actually two separate rooms. They’re like apartments. You walk down the hallway (all open to the outside and fresh air) to a metal door that opens with your keycard, inside the iron door is a small foyer type space with a wooden door to the right and left. On the left is the room with the two full sized beds and bathroom, and on the right is the master, main living space, and kitchen. At the back of the ‘apartment’ the two rooms are connected via the long patio. The front wooden doors lock, so the only way to go back and forth is to have the key at all times, knock, prop the doors open, or use the patio. This is a great option for older kids or adults, but we had two younger children and it made us uncomfortable that they were unable to get to us at night if needed, so we had one child/one adult stay in one room, and the other adult and child stay in the other.
It just would have been nice to know the layout in advance.
When you walk down the steps to the ocean area, you’re right at the ocean. It’s breathtaking! The waves at this whole area can get pretty strong. People do claim pool chairs at the pool and beach area very early and hold on to them most of the day, but we were still able to find spots when we wanted.
Scheduling, and getting, our COVID tests was very quick and easy, and done at the the resort next door, just a short walk from where we were staying.
Our stay was amazing, and I would definitely recommend this place to others who are looking to visit Cabo!
