  • Overall: Rating of 4.4 out of 5

    "Highly recommend for a romantic, spa resort." source Priceline

    "The staff was nice, the grounds were clean and the spa was nice but my overall opinion is they need to have more of a taco/beer stand and less formal dining at such high prices and drop the time share pressure/tours." source Travelocity

    "I highly recommend the Snorkel Trip to Cabo Pulmo, about 2 hours north of Cabo on the Sea of Cortez, beautiful." source Expedia

    "), friendly staff (X makes the best Mojitos at the pool bar), perfect location (away from the craziness of the beachfront bars), beautiful views, walking distance to town, but easier to take the $7 cab ride." source Travelocity

    "The maintenance workers and housekeeping were in the elevators due to the service elevators being out." source Expedia

    "Super friendly and efficient service, great food and quite a variety, great room with an ocean view and balcony and free mini-bar with full size bottles." source Orbitz

    "We love the atmosphere (tranquil), food (market also on grounds), pool, pleasant staff, and close location to town (approx." source Expedia

    "Taxis are a rip if you're heading to downtown cabo, I'd rather walk (it's about a 20 min walk) but heading back to the hotel is always cheaper than getting to downtown cabo." source Travelocity

  • Value: Rating of 4.4 out of 5

    "Bed was hard, there were not any bars on the grounds open late if you like to drink, AND IF YOU WANT ICE ITS 6 DOLLARS AMERICAN (i think its purified though." source Travelocity

    "We stayed at Estancia in September (off-season) and got a great deal on a 2BR 3BA 2100 SQ foot suite." source Travelocity

    "However, the price gouge came when we fell for the supposedly all-inclusive "meal plan." source Travelocity
