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.

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...

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.

Hidden gem! This place is so cozy and close to the square, market and the art show that the plaza has on Thursdays. Great staff that is so friendly and very helpful. 10 out of 10! I will be coming back in June with my kids.

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. But by far the best part of our stay was the genuine warmth,...

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!

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!

My wife and I just returned for Cabo and a stay at the "Grand Solmar". Our honeymoon was fantastic and way above our expectations. Everything from the one bedroom grand suite to the food was perfect and well worth returning to next year. We did purchase the "Meal Plan" prior to arriving. We ate and drank alcoholic beverages like hogs and a cruise ship! Our waiters at the pools and restaurants were top notch.
Special thanks to Alejandro in the "sports bar", Pablo at the "Roca"

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...

The hotel was beautiful from the moment you walked in to the sleeping accommodations and the swimming pool resort area. The ocean views and private beach access was fantastic. One of the best customer service is experience we’ve had so far. Everyone was attentive and paid attention to detail.
