My daughter-in-law was able to get the suite she wanted.
The rooms were clean and attractive. I loved the pool area and the restaurant. The neighbourhood is filled with outstanding art and craft stores.
I couldn't recommend this hotel more.

Lovely spacious room in the Art District of San Jose del Cabo. Close to shops and great restaurants. The courtyard, pool area and common spaces are beautifully decorated and inviting. The only negative is that the area can be a bit noisy at night as it is near nightlife. Earplugs dd the trick for me but this could be an issue if you are a light sleeper. Everything else was exemplary.

The hotel is very unique and the garden area and pool area is beautiful. Located near the center of town is great. It allowed us easy access to shopping and dining. The room need some updating, the couch was tired and the bathroom was musty and old. A little tlc in these areas would make it great. The bed was very comfortable.

We loved the lush and picturesque outdoor garden walkway to our room. The standard double room was large enough. Very centrally located, with multiple restaurants close by. The staff was very friendly, considerate, and helpful.

We had the best stay at this quaint boutique hotel! The grounds are absolutely beautiful! We came in from shopping, dining or the beach each day to a tidied room with fresh towels and beds made. The pool area was quiet and lovely. All of the staff were extra pleasant and helpful.

This was our second time here, 16 years apart & the hotel still holds its exquisite beauty. I love the feels when staying here. Heart of the Art District Area. Elegant rooms with character and everything you need to have a peaceful comfortable sleep & stay. Beautiful pool & gardens Mexican music plays in background.
