Villa La Estancia Customer Testimonials
From Social Media
Only a few hours south of Hollywood, in the luxurious, yet exotic, Baja California, Cabo, as it’s known by those who know it best, features your own playground, too: Villa La Estancia.
Loosely translated, La Estancia means “a place to stay,” and that place waits just for you, where the Mexican desert meets turquoise waters, where infinity pools stretch into the Sea of Cortez, and where you can live the life of a jet-setting star. Buying or renting your own private resort — a villa, condo, or penthouse on Medano Beach — is a not only a place to lay your head, but it’s relaxation and romance that you’ll find under a beach umbrella, or under the stars, before you slide under the covers.
Only a mile from downtown Los Cabos, Villa La Estancia puts you within striking distance of some of the world’s best nightlife, where you can catch a glorious sunset, a glamorous superstar, or fall in love with your traveling companion all over again.
A former fishing village transformed into a celebrity mecca, Villa La Estancia and Cabo San Lucas offer all the richness of a down-haute trip into an exotic world — the thrill of a Third World journey with the luxury of a five-star experience. Play a round of golf amidst emerald greens, dive with whales at Gordo Banks, or swim with dolphins in crystal water; you can even take a camel ride through the Desert Park Natural Reserve. Afterward, take in one of the trendy eateries and quaint cafes in and around Cabo, or go shopping at the finest boutiques or fun, local favorites. If neither of these interest you, simply stop altogether, slather on the sunscreen, and soak up the rays.
Don’t forget about the beaches — From the serene beauty of Playa del Amor and the Sea of Cortez to the surfing magnet of Zippers, you’ll find your own spot to spend your days.
Sunny and serene, magical and mysterious, at Villa La Estancia, each privately owned condominium welcomes you with lavish furnishings and all the amenities of home, only here, you’re surrounded by spectacular views that you won’t find anywhere else. Sculpted rock formations will keep you guessing, while nature’s own light shows dazzle from sunrise to dusk.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why reserve a villa or penthouse through Cabo La Estancia?
When you reserve through the resort directly or another website such as Expedia or Hotel.com, one of the most common misconceptions is with regard to the one-bedroom unit. It is rented as a ‘hotel room’ when, in fact, there are no hotel rooms in the resort. This ‘hotel room’ is comprised of a 2-bedroom, 3 bath condo, divided into two parts, Side ‘A’ (1 bedroom, 2 bath, kitchen, living and dining areas) and side ‘B’, known as a ‘lock-off’ (1 bedroom, 1 bath, with a separate entrance, 2 Queen Beds or 1 King Bed, depending on the unit).
This is often referred to as ‘The European Plan’ and the problem is both side ‘A’ and side ‘B’ share a balcony, divided by a grass lattice screen.
A client renting through our website, Cabo La Estancia, will never need to share the balcony because we never rent out the ‘B’ side lock-off. We only rent the ‘A’ side, thereby, preserving your privacy. Other sites will not explain this fully and will rent both sides.
Are there benefits of reserving through Cabo La Estancia versus VRBO or other sites?
The benefits of reserving through Cabo La Estancia versus VRBO or other sites are significant:
- When reserving through our website, you will always know which Villa you are renting – no surprises upon check-in. Cabo La Estancia monitors all units on a continual basis throughout the year and, therefore, will know which have been updated and upgraded and will separate the good from the bad.
- Expedia, Travelocity, etc… These sites receive their inventory from the resort directly and operate like a hotel. Rates are typically much higher than reserving directly with us because these sites charge additional fees and taxes.
- VRBO… While this site is a good resource for Villa owners, the downside for the renter is the lack of individual support; you are unable to speak to a live person prior to booking and VRBO assesses a fee at the time of rental. Many guests complain that when dealing with owners, directly, there is a lack of responsiveness.
- Our rates are very competitive, if not the same as dealing directly with the owner and we provide live guest support 24/7 via one of our team members.
- Our On-site Concierge Team is available to you prior to check-in and throughout your stay to assist with dinner reservations, private chef services, excursion reservations and ground transportation referral
- Our rates include all taxes, resort fees and maid service – no surprises, no hidden fees

We are far enough away from town to have a peaceful and relaxing vacation, but close enough to easily take advantage of the great restaurants, shopping, nightlife, and activities.
With a private rental, do I have the same privileges at the resort?
Absolutely. You will be a guest of the owner of the Villa and may use all of the facilities at no charge. There is a small charge for lighting the tennis courts at night. Additional costs would include spa services, food and beverages, and any activities you schedule. Please contact us with any specific questions.

Yes. Guests at Villa La Estancia have full privileges at Villa del Palmar, including use of the restaurants, spa, Kid’s in Paradise program, and the resort activities.
Are resort/hotel services available?
Yes. These are privately owned luxury condos with the comforts of a home, but they also have all of the services you would expect in a fine resort, including 24 hour front desk, restaurants, pools and hot tubs, fitness center, spa, room service, telephone and Internet service, and concierges to help you with all of your needs.

Additional charges would include food, beverages, spa services, telephone calls, or activities that you schedule.
Is there also a hotel at Villa La Estancia?
No. You may see what appear to be hotel rooms listed on various sites like Expedia (called Deluxe Suites). These are the second bedroom of a 2 bedroom Villa. The 2 bedroom Villa has a “lockoff” feature that allows the Villa to be used simultaneously as a 1 bedroom Villa and a Deluxe Suite. A Deluxe Suite has two queen beds and a nice bath. The terrace is shared with the 1 bedroom side of the Villa.

No. Most everything is within walking distance or a short taxi ride. The taxi fare to Cabo is currently $9/one way for 4 people (small additional charge for more people). Taxis are readily available and are vans so they will seat a large group. Some people do like to rent a car, which is convenient for shopping, golf, and perhaps a side trip to Todos Santos. Free parking is available at Villa La Estancia.
How do I get from the airport to Villa La Estancia?
The airport is at San Jose del Cabo (SJD). It is about a 40 – 45-minute drive to Villa La Estancia. The concierge can prearrange transportation for you. Here are the current rates:
- Shuttle service: The Community Shuttle is the slowest form of transportation to the resort, making several planned stops along the way.
- “Regular” TAXI: Taxis are located at the airport but they take ‘the long way’ to the resort, via a toll road (maximum 5 persons).

Is the beach swimmable?
Yes. Medano Beach is considered the swimming beach in Cabo. The beaches on the Pacific side have surf that is too rough for safe swimming.

There are some exceptions, but check this out if ocean swimming is important to you.
