This might be the nicest hotel I’ve ever stayed in. Architecture is top-tier, staff is very friendly, and the food is fantastic.
On top of that you are 10min from a number of beaches that are amazing to spend the day at. If you’re looking for a relaxing space to unwind, you should treat yourself to a weekend or more at this hotel. You won’t regret it… in fact you might not want to leave.

Don't even know where to start. We are very well traveled and have never stayed in a place so beautiful. Every aspect was so well thought out. It felt so exclusive and remote yet was only 15 mins to Todos Santos. Beach was all ours. Water too rough to go in. You can walk forever on beach and never see anybody. Sunset over ocean: pick your spot to watch, the sand, the crows nest on beach, your room, rooftop patio and the list goes on. Start your day with coffee and tea waiting at your door....

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.

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.

As an international consultant, I travel all over the world (sometimes several turns the same year), so far I have been in 72 countries so I know about hotels and benchmarks.

We are world travelers, stay in only the finest resorts and are among the most selective (read "picky") guests. That being said, Las Ventanas is an absolute paradise. Everything about this resort is perfect. The grounds are meticulously maintained. The food is exquisite. The drinks are top shelf. The pools are perfect.

This was the most amazing property I’ve ever been to for every reason. There was natural and architectural beauty, the rooms were amazing with huge ceilings and floor to ceiling windows,
and a plunge pool. This is the first time I’ve actually spent quality time in my room.
The food was fabulous and the service top notch everywhere. It’s an especially great place to stay during Covid since everything is outdoor. Wonderful…

It's the best located hotel in all of Cabo. You've got the calm, swimmable ocean, with the most private beach on one side, the Marina and center of town on the other side, and this upscale resort right in the middle. Since the resort was originally built for sale, the room sizes and quality are on of the best around. The staff was super nice, accommodating, caring and professional. Even though it may cost more than other resorts, it's well worth it. You get your money's worth.

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 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.

When we booked there was only 1 review, which made me leery. However it proved to be the nicest place we have stayed in and around Los Cabos. This was a our 6th trip to the area and this place was wonderful.
