This was by far our favorite vacation yet. The resort's focus to detail to make everyone's stay amazing, was a huge success. Our room, the view, the pools, the food, and the service, couldn't have been any better. We ventured off the resort once, and immediatly regretted it. The fear of missing out on the local scene quickly washed away with all the tourists and solicitors. We had some fun on wave runners, but couldn't wait to get back to the resort after.

We had a wonderful time at this hotel. Everything from the minute we checked in to the time we departed was excellent. The staff, comfort, and cleanliness were top notch.

Great hotel, with amazing service and very good facilities but if you are looking for a nice beach this is not the place - the "swimmable" beach is very small and full of rocks. Food is good but too expensive.

The room was beautiful! Quiet part of the beach. The bed was Very comfortable. We were greeted w/ a lovely cheese, cracker & fig platter! The Restaurant was very small & perfedt! The breakfast every morning was so delicious! Mostly we love the Family who owns this beautiful little Hotel! They are there all the time to answer any questions for you. Love this place!

I absolutely loved the atmosphere, friendly staff, and the property felt empty even though it was almost fully booked. Shout out to the Marea restaurant staff. The pizza and tacos were amazing! Sushi was fresh and delicious. Mezcal has the best cornbread and smoke butter I have ever had!
Carlos was an amazing host and arranged everything from reservations and transportation on property and off. But the real reason we came was for the beach! The water was amazing and beachside service staff...

We spent 5 nights at Casa Bella and found it to be outstanding. The weather prevented any beach opportunities due to some high winds and sea conditions. Barbara and the staff at Casa Bella did everything under the sun to make our stay comfortable and entertaining. I am a pretty picky client and I was not disappointed. The hotel is small, personal, very clean and well kept. The breakfast was well prepared with excellent presentation. No lines, no bracelets, no second class citizen feelings....

Amazing view. Amazing staff. Everyone is very professional and courteous. Breakfast is amazing and my wife and I ate their French toast nearly everyday. Here are a few pointers when staying at The Cape:
1) Pick your seats at pool prior to going to breakfast and leave non valuable items on the seat. Best real estate goes quickly.
2) Eat their French toast it is too die for.
3) There is absolutely no way to swim in the beach. Too dangerous. Still an amazing view. Watch the surfers catch waves...

Amazing stay! The entire property was extremely clean and well maintained. If you are looking to stay away from the louder ‘party zones of Cabo’, but still want to be in walkable distance to that and the marina, this is the spot. The entire staff, especially Jose went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed and ensure we had the best stay. Very attentive, highly recommend. We will definitely be back!

We enjoyed our 4 night stay immensely. This is a jewel of a place. We had an oceanfront room on the second floor with a good sized balcony. Very well appointed room.
The service was great, the people so friendly and helpful. The restaurant is outstanding, with great food and a large staff. It seemed like we had 4 or 5 people waiting on us. Grito and Angel were as good as any I have encountered.

We very much enjoyed our stay. The room was very comfortable with a beautiful view of the Sea of Cortez, we loved having bicycles to get around, the gym was excellent (although it would be nice if there was at least one more bench), the food was quite good at all the restaurants (although it was disappointing that Casa Brasa was only open for lunch), the pools and lounges were great and the architecture and landscape were beautiful.

Resort is even better than it appears in the photos...how often does that happen? Lots of niceties like the free minibar (re-stocked daily), "treats" at the pool...fruit on a skewer, frozen fruit pops, soothing aloe treatment and sample cocktails!!
No need to claim the "choice" lounge chairs at the pool early..there are plenty, all are choice. The staff is everywhere but somehow inconspicuous, accommodating in every way without leaving impression they are working for tips.

10/10 in every way. If you need something, look over your shoulder and you will likely find it. If not, you will find a friendly staff member who will happily to help.
The eclectic art is fantastic, and there are so many thoughtful and luxurious touches throughout the property. The whole place is a next level vibe. Loved it!

IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TOWN YOU HAVE THIS OASIS OF TRANQUILITY. AT COCKTAIL HOUR WE WOULD ALL MEET BY THE POOL AND SHARE DRINKS , FOOD AND STORIES THEN MAYBE GO OUT TOGETHER TO A LOCAL RESTAURANT. THE GUEST WERE SO FRIENDLY AND INTERESTING WE HAD A LOT OF FUN DURING OUR STAY, AND MADE FRIENDS WITH SOME REALLY NICE PEOPLE.

All Casa Natalia employees were friendly and helpful. Check-in was easy and they told us where we could park our car. We enjoyed our little patio in the morning. A few weeks before our arrival they helped us schedule a COVID test. The doctor arrived on time, as scheduled, and it was an easy process. Wonderful staff!
The only negative thing I have to say was that it was a little loud with noise from the square and roosters crowing. However, by about 10:30 P.M. on both nights it did quiet down and...
