Resort Map
Frequently Asked Questions
Where is the resort located?
The resort is conveniently located on Medano Beach (the swimming beach), less than a mile from downtown Cabo San Lucas; 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.
Is there an all-inclusive option?
The resort offers a Basic Meal Plan PLUS full access to the mini-bar in your villa as well as 24-hour room service (gratuity not included). Items such as lobster, T-bone steak, Kobe beef, or cognac are not available in the all-inclusive. All packages and prices can be requested through the front desk.
Are there restaurants at the resort?
Yes. There is a poolside restaurant is open for breakfast and lunch. There is also an upscale restaurant with a daily dinner service.
The beachside restaurant has a wonderful pizza oven, a real treat for all. The deli, located in the mini-mall, offers great sandwiches, salads, desserts, some hot prepared foods, plus specialty coffee drinks and juices. There’s even an ice-cream stand. Cabo has many great restaurants.
We will be happy to provide our recommendations (and those of our former guests) when you book your reservation with us.
Is there a spa and/or fitness center?
Yes. There is an executive fitness center and also a full spa. There is no charge for using the fitness center.
Are there tennis courts?
Yes, there are two private tennis courts and two additional courts at the adjacent resort (lighting available at a small charge).
With a private rental at Cabo La Estancia, 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.
How do I get from the airport to the resort?
The airport is at San Jose del Cabo (SJD). It is about a 40 – 45-minute drive. Please let us know if you would like us to 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 passengers).
- The private Suburban: (recommended) 7 passengers one-way Van: 10 passengers one-way Limo: 8 passengers.

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 sides ‘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 as 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
Have you booked through Expedia, VRBO, Hotels.com and need assistance?
It’s not too late to speak with us about possibly securing a better rate!
For questions regarding a reservation made through Expedia, VRBO, Hotels.com, we, unfortunately, cannot view a reservation unless it was made through our office. You must contact the entity with whom you made the reservation or contact the resort, directly.
However, should you need restaurant reservations, ground transportation or assistance with excursions, please see the concierge information.
Would you like to buy a luxury villa in Cabo – or learn more about ownership?

Because we are independent of the Resort’s onsite Sales Office/Developer Team, we have other listings available within La Estancia and the Cabo San Lucas area. Many units are, often, quietly listed and can be negotiated for a better deal.
Are there any extra charges?
The rates we will quote to you will be total. There is no charge for using the fitness center, tennis courts, and high speed Internet access (within the Villa) and WiFi in the pool area. Additional charges would include food, beverages, spa services, telephone calls, or activities that you schedule.
Do I need to rent a car?
No. Almost everything is within walking distance or a short taxi ride. The taxi fare to Cabo is currently $9/one way for 4 people (a 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 the resort.
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. Most of the beaches along the “corridor” (the area between Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo) have significant rip currents and are not generally considered safe. There are some exceptions, but check this out if ocean swimming is important to you.
Reviews and Testimonials
Great getway
January 30, 2023
Nothing but positive comments from time of booking to returning home. Condo has outstanding views..Great communication and assistance with booking vacation. Transportation from Victor on time. Great customer service from drivers explaining the area and answering all our questions. Won’t hesitate using this company for future trips.
Thank you so much
January 27, 2023
Words cannot describe how beautiful our time spent in Penthouse 1502 and the area of Cabo San Lucas was.
All your recommendations and staff were perfect and made our vacation memorable.
Hope to do it again soon.
Always excellent
January 19, 2023
Great vacation. Perfect weather and excellent service
Great Villa with Beautiful Views
January 17, 2023
This was our first time to stay at Villa La Estancia and we were very impressed. The resort is meticulously maintained, and the staff provided great service. We stayed in oceanfront Villa 3301. The Villa was recently updated with beautiful new furniture and furnishings. The current pictures as of 1-16-2023 online show the old furniture. The unit is very spacious and has beautiful views. The was also our first time booking through Giovanni and Team (National Realty Group). They were great to work with and everything was as advertised. We had a wonderful family vacation. Thank You!
Beautiful resort and villa !
January 14, 2023
Very impressed. Food and drinks at resort restaurants were pricey, but other than that we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
Amazing Villa / Breathtaking Views!
January 12, 2023
We can’t say enough about how wonderful Villa 2502 and our visit to Cabo was the end of October 2022! Everything was effortless and flawless- from booking with Giovanni, airport transportation with Victor, the beautifully decorated and appointed villa, and Samantha’s special touches for our daughter’s 16th birthday, it will truly be a trip not to be forgotten! The recommended activities and restaurants (thanks Samantha!) did not disappoint and we loved it so much, we are returning with two other families for Spring Break in April.
Many thanks to the wonderful Cabo La Estancia team- you can’t go wrong booking with them.
Cabo - New Year's 22-23
January 12, 2023
I thought that Cabo La Estancia was a beautiful hotel with a high quality and courteous staff. The unit we stayed in (1604) was perfect for our family. I look forward to returning again!
Amazing!
December 23, 2022
Very nice building and grounds, the condo was well appointed and the staff was amazing.
The owner even had condiments and refreshments stocked for us. Amazing
December 7, 2022
This is a fine property–what we expected to find. However, what we didn’t expect to fine is that the owner was outstanding, going overboard to help us. He not only had some basic provisions available to us, such as salt, pepper, catsup, mustard, vinegar, etc., but a whole array of spices. He assisted when I needed contact info and even had the boat broker call me to make arrangements for our yacht trip. We deeply appreciated his concern and care.
Wonderful
December 1, 2022
This unit gets wonderful morning sun. The patio has a wide ocean view a small bit away from the pool. Appliances were all well-maintained and the beds were comfortable.
Cabo La Estancia is pretty close to perfection.
November 24, 2022
Villa 1604 is beautiful with an exquisite view and all of the amenities of a home. Our family of four found the Villa to be more than enough space for us.
The beds were very comfortable and the three full bathrooms allowed all of us to get ready with nobody in each other’s way.
The kitchen was fully stocked with anything you should need and a nice pantry with a few items that has been left behind by previous guests. Paper towels, toilet paper, laundry detergent, hand soap, body wash, and shampoo were all available for us to use.
Our daughters were happy to find many pool floats available. There were many books to choose from as well. The maid service thoroughly cleaned our Villa every other day and did a fantastic job.
The concierge, Samantha, communicated with us many times and is available to make dinner reservations should you need them. The food at all the restaurants was fantastic and we also enjoyed one night of room service. We took Ubers downtown several times for dinner and it only cost around $6-$7 each way and was only about a 10-minute drive to the marina.
The entire staff was amazing, especially around the pool. We enjoyed the convenience of the pool bar and restaurant by the pool.
Food and drinks were always perfect! We will be staying at this resort every time we visit Cabo from now on.
It truly is a perfect place! Thank you Giovanni.
This place and the people are amazing!!
November 24, 2022
I have stayed at other penthouses before and this one was both charming and luxurious. The sunrise and sunset views are awesome. Our group enjoyed staying upstairs on the sun deck and going down to the pool, equally as fun. We had a dinner party with a chef and staff that was out of this world. We will DEFINITELY be back soon.
Spectacular Experience
November 16, 2022
Penthouse 3502 far exceeded my expectations. Every detail of this space was beautifully designed. From the decor to the indoor and outdoor living spaces. The sunrise and ocean views were spectacular. All of the amenities were useful. The property manager was always available and accessible. I would highly recommend this Penthouse if you are looking for a spectacular experience.
I look forward to staying there again in the future!
Really really really nice
October 28, 2022
Super spacious – very clean, nice people work there
Things happen for a reason
October 14, 2022
Giovanni has maintained a presence at Villa La Estancia for as long as I’ve owned a unit there (bought it in 2016, and also have served on the HOA Finance Committee since 2018).
In fact, while General Managers at VLE have come and gone, Giovanni has remained a steady presence. He and others started rental businesses (partnering with owners) just a few years after the internet came on its own.
Something that sets Giovanni apart from others is that he, himself, is a VLE owner and, in addition, he is active on the sales side. In essence, mining rental guests might also be qualified buyers.
That is a value-add above and beyond facilitating a nightly rental, and the primary reason why I evolved to rent exclusively through him, with no offense intended toward anyone else who may offer similar rental services.
I really grew to know Giovanni well in late 2016. In 2018, after 12 years of ownership, my life circumstances changed such that I wanted to broaden my travel destinations and not feel bound to our beloved Cabo San Lucas.
Giovanni understood and began the process of vetting qualified buyers which eventually led to our contracting to sell to our friends, The Tillman’s.
It is worth noting that this sale occurred on the heels of a debacle related to a previous owner and their legal issues with the IRS. These owners held several Villa La Estancia properties and many owners expected depressed market values
for years to come, following the forced sale/liquidation of these assets. At the same time, we had two potential transactions come and go, with the typical accompanying frustrations, disappointment, wasted time, and even some harsh words!
Things happen for a reason, though, and seem to have worked out for the best!
In truth, without Giovanni’s persistence and intuitive understanding of the right next steps, many transactions at VLE wouldn’t have happened, including my own.
Our relationship has grown from acquaintances to very close, personal friends (such that I’m not exactly objective). With that said, I only do business with people who get things done, as it is a standard that my clients also expect of me.
If your goal is to complete the transaction – then Giovanni is the one to choose. He is your only logical choice!
Villa La Estancia here we come!
September 26, 2022
We are the proud new owners of Unit 3301. Giovanni represented both the buyer and the seller.
The panoramic oceanfront villa is truly a gem, sitting on the Sea of Cortez.
Giovanni’s ability to describe the property’s attributes and paint a picture of its beauty led us to purchase the unit sight unseen.
When we entered the unit for the first time, we fell in love with the view and quickly came up with the name we believe best describes it: “Hermosa Vista”.
Giovanni was a wealth of knowledge for us and made purchasing this stunning villa a simple and straightforward process.
Given the intricacies of real estate transactions in Mexico, this was a truly herculean task.
Throughout the process of identifying the property, negotiating the purchase agreement, preparing the escrow, and ultimately closing the transaction,
we felt Giovanni was there with us every step of the way.
His attention to detail and his ability to share his expertise was much appreciated.
We would highly recommend Giovanni to anyone looking to purchase or sell property in Cabo San Lucas!
We LOVED our stay
August 31, 2022
The staff are wonderful. The ocean is just steps away. Depending upon where you decide to enter the ocean the current can be rough. We walked a very short distance to be on the part of the beach where the current and waves were a lot more acceptable. The food is great. The breakfast buffet both at our resort and the sister resort next door was great as well. The steak house was great. At night it becomes more tranquil and silent allowing for you to enjoy the evening. We would stay again.
Villa La Estancia
August 29, 2022
A magnificent property, impeccably maintained.
It has the most amazing view!
August 22, 2022
This was our first visit to Los Cabos and I can’t say enough about this property! It has the most amazing view! It is spectacularly set, and the decor is simple and perfect. It’s perfectly clean! I had a question about the housekeeping schedule and sent a message via email when we arrived I was answered by the host Samantha right away. Cabo La Estancia is a really great and classy resort staff is so nice and really has such great attention to service. Towards the end of our stay, my husband had a medical emergency, and my children ages 22, 15, and 12 stayed behind while I accompanied him to the hospital. The resort reached out to me to let me know that the host would accommodate my children another day if needed. This very kind and compassionate action will forever hold a special place in my heart. My husband is ok thank God. But to know that in a time of need someone can be so kind as to extend a hand to someone they really don’t know is such a warm gesture. Thank you so so much <3 I will definitely return to Cabo La Estancia and book with Giovanni! I am determined to end on a better note.
The relationship has proven beneficial
August 22, 2022
We love our newly purchased property at Villa La Estancia. Giovanni represented the seller (while we were the buyers).
Despite who represented whom, we found him to be an able “adversary” – one that vigorously supported his client, but was fair to the process.
It is rare to become so impressed with the opposing party’s agent that you engage their services directly. It was the loyalty he displayed to his client and his ability to make everyone feel heard that convinced us to retain his services and act as our rental agent and property manager.
We are so pleased to say the relationship has proven beneficial. We would recommend Giovanni to anyone in need of a professional who places the client’s needs at the forefront while acting with integrity and professionalism.
