From the moment I was interested in Diane's El Zalate condo to arrival, the communication was great - above what anyone would usually expect.
One of my first questions is the wifi, because I travel a lot, but that also means I have to work sometimes. And, the wifi was GREAT, no problems.
We went the week prior to Christmas, travelled home Christmas Day to beat the crowds (which, I really recommend). The location is central and quiet. Not a busy hopping hotel, but a quiet condo with respectful neighbors.
The pool and beach are right out the patio walkway. That was super-nice.
The minor things that came up like satellite TV or beach gate code were quickly answered or addressed by management on site. OH... do check the propane tank when you first arrive, so if you plan to use it you won't be unpleasantly surprised. When we discovered it was after 7pm and mgmt gone. Thinking about it, we could have went next door to switch out, but made do in the well-equipped kitchen.
Diane provided a recommendation list of places to dine, things to enjoy, and anything else you may be looking for while visiting. It was all so gratefully appreciated and useful.
Mama Mias restaurant a quick beach walk away was nice to be able to sit close to the beach and have the view. Sardinias at the top of the hill a few doors down we ended up eating at 3 times. Coconut Shrimp, Crab Benedict and Clam Chowder all highly recommended.
Other than that, it was easy to get Ubers and head to San Jose del Cabo for dining and other adventures.
Easy to get an Uber, meeting place at the Oxxo at the top of the driveway. Easy enough to get them to drop you off close to the door when returning which is especially helpful when you have groceries.
Security guards were super helpful and friendly. Grounds are well-kept and were festively decorated for the holidays. That was nice to see.
Note that while there is satellite tv, the settings are in Eastern Time Zone. So, if you plan to watch something keep the time difference in mind. Which, wasn't a big deal because we didn't sit around watching TV much.
Diane's place is really wonderful. Whenever we return to Cabo I would re-rent anytime. They also have a 2 bedroom right next door if you have a group or larger family.
We had a few cervezas waiting for us and were sure to leave several for the next group. That is a nice set-up. Enjoy!
