San José del Cabo Vacation Rentals

"Family friendly resort, with a nice waterpark for younger kids. Staff is very friendly. Beach area is clean and we were able to find loungers most days. This was our 3rd time here and we noticed a few differences. Resort now uses an app but the activities listed each day don't match what is actually offered and we had trouble finding these. We felt there were less activities and interaction with the entertainment crew, although the evening shows are still very well performed. And if you don't "reserve" a chair by the pool by 7am, it's very hard to find one. We enjoyed the restaurants but found the kids menu to be very limited with only the same 3 options each evening. "

"An excellent family oriented resort with a nice layout and everything you would need for an enjoyable stay. Very friendly and helpful staff always greet you verbally and with a welcoming gesture, and look to try their best to accommodate any special requests. The pools were a hit with the kids, and space in them was plentiful. Our family has for different rooms, and they were all spacious, had a 4 seat dining set, comfortable beds, and a spacious bathroom and shower. Virtually every room in the resort overlooks the inner courtyard and pools, and most will have a peek-a-boo or spectacular view of the ocean. There are 3 natural-gas (no burning embers or smoke!) fire pits on the beach that are lit up in the evening for conversation and watching the free beachside shows. And if you book through Expedia, be sure to take advantage of the perks offered to you by the on site Expedia desk and Concierge. The food is subjective; our family (six adults and three children ages 6 to 1) were all satisfied with the selection and quality... but we were not expecting 5 star quality food at a 4 star resort. My only cons would be that the resort is showing some signs of decay (rusty railings and awnings, worn plumbing fixtures) and that some staff, although friendly, were not very well trained for service. There are signs of some items being updated in stages (some railings have been replaced), but non of the maintenance items posed a danger of any sort in my opinion."

"Close to the main plaza, and lots of nice shops and restaurants. Nice walking areas, very safe and very clean. The staff was extraordinarily helpful and friendly."

"Fantastic place and incredible people ready to help you to have fantastic time during the stay. There is always room for improvements, like having refreshing smells in and around restrooms and closed areas. "

"We’ve made it our unofficial hobby to “research” most of the major Cabo resorts, One&Only Palmilla, Four Seasons Costa Palmas, Nobu… tough life, we know. So when we arrived here, we’ll admit, first impressions had us a little unsure. The hotel sits right off the main road (not exactly the dramatic, guarded-gates entrance we had imagined), and the lobby felt… let’s say “cozy.” For a brief moment, we wondered if we’d made a mistake. And then we saw the view. Instant mood reversal. The property opens up beautifully, with buildings cascading toward the ocean and villas stretching toward the beach. We initially upgraded to a three-bedroom villa… and then, in a completely rational and not-at-all indulgent decision, upgraded ourselves again to a 4/5-bedroom villa “for privacy.” No regrets. Thanks to a large part to Mr. Torres. The views? Unreal. The service? Even better. Our butlers, Jacob and Victor, absolutely nailed that perfect balance of attentiveness without ever feeling intrusive, something even some of the top-tier resorts don’t always get right. Every single staff member we interacted with was warm, helpful, and genuinely welcoming. Special shoutout to the beach staff, who were consistently fantastic. Safe to say, we’re already planning a return, and maybe even plotting a more permanent arrangement (villa ownership is suddenly sounding like a very reasonable idea). Nothing but great things to say about the Viceroy."

"Everything was much better than what I expected. "

"This was the best all-inclusive resort I have stayed at. I was here for my birthday and the staff went above and beyond to make my trip special! Very clean resort and the staff is very friendly and attentive. I would highly recommend staying at Paradisus!!!"

"Food & Dining Let’s start with the buffets, because… wow. The food was terrible, nothing was labelled, and half the time we were playing “Guess That Mystery Dish.” And the plates? Calling them “clean” would be generous — we had to dig through stacks just to find one that didn’t look like it had already lived a full life. The à la carte restaurant was actually great, but good luck getting in. Their reservation system is a joke. Six days at the resort and we managed to snag two reservations. Two. For a resort this size, that’s embarrassing. Room & Cleanliness The staff were nice, but the room? Straight out of the 1970s — and not in a cute retro way. The décor was dated, the furniture didn’t match. Cleanliness was another adventure. Mold on the shower tiles, mold around the drain, and one night we were greeted by a cockroach in the bathroom. Nothing says “vacation” like turning on the light and seeing something scuttle. Many stains on the bed sheets and headboard. Pool & Atmosphere If you enjoy waking up at 3 am to reserve a pool chair then you found your spot. There were nowhere near enough seats for the number of guests, so people were claiming chairs the night before just to have a spot the next day. The whole vibe felt competitive and stressful—the opposite of the relaxing atmosphere a resort should offer. Massive volleyball tournament that took up majority of the beach which we were not warned about. Walking by the ocean was the only enjoyable part of staying here. "

"The foods are horrible especially the buffet and the Luna restaurant was a little bit better than the buffet. There was only two restaurants. One of the bar tenders at the pool didn’t have a good service and mixed drinks were not good at all"
