My daughter-in-law was able to get the suite she wanted.
The rooms were clean and attractive. I loved the pool area and the restaurant. The neighbourhood is filled with outstanding art and craft stores.
I couldn't recommend this hotel more.

It’s in the charming historical part of San Jose del Cabo. Only wish the pool was heated; I stay there in the winter.

We had a wonderful week-long stay. The staff was very helpful and kind. The location is ideal. We felt lucky to be right in the historic district. Amazing restaurants feet away. Others have mentioned noise, but we simply used earplugs on festive nights. We plan to return.

Paulina, the person at the front desk, who checked us in, is so very sweet and hospitable and she made us feel at home in every way. The hotel is gorgeous and within walking distance to some really great restaurants and coffee shops.

A real pretty place!! It’s like the White Lotus of Los Cabos. 😂 There is another building down the street with rooms. We booked a junior suite and she tried to put us down the street but I called her on it and she put us in the correct room. They have parking and are close to everything.

Lovely spacious room in the Art District of San Jose del Cabo. Close to shops and great restaurants. The courtyard, pool area and common spaces are beautifully decorated and inviting. The only negative is that the area can be a bit noisy at night as it is near nightlife. Earplugs dd the trick for me but this could be an issue if you are a light sleeper. Everything else was exemplary.

The hotel is very unique and the garden area and pool area is beautiful. Located near the center of town is great. It allowed us easy access to shopping and dining. The room need some updating, the couch was tired and the bathroom was musty and old. A little tlc in these areas would make it great. The bed was very comfortable.

We loved the lush and picturesque outdoor garden walkway to our room. The standard double room was large enough. Very centrally located, with multiple restaurants close by. The staff was very friendly, considerate, and helpful.
