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
Would absolutely stay again
August 15, 2022
This is a beautifully decorated condo with the most amazing view of the Arch from every room. We loved having our morning coffee and night cap while looking at the gorgeous views on the cozy balcony. We found the beds to be extremely comfortable and all slept very well. The staff was always friendly and offered great service and assistance with anything we needed.
We couldn't be happier
August 11, 2022
Our trip was muy excellente, Giovanni. The Penthouse was exactly as we anticipated and all of the contacts including Samantha our private concierge, Judith with the Catering company, and Victor‘s transportation were stupendous. Thanks, again, we will be back soon.
As advertised
August 11, 2022
Really enjoyed it. Thank you, Giovanni.
The view from this villa is money!
August 11, 2022
Older resort, could use some updates but the Villa views and space were amazing. Very clean, comfortable beds. So much space. Paid a premium for the Ocean front, I’m sure for the view but it was worth it. Wouldn’t have wanted to stay anywhere else because the view from this villa is money! Water pressure in the shower could be better but that’s really all we could slightly even complain about.
Luxury defined.
August 8, 2022
We were there on a girls trip to celebrate our daughter’s 50th birthday. The resort staff was professional and very friendly. They went out of their way to make sure our stay was perfect. The Villa we stayed in The panoramic ocean front, was phenomenal. Luxury defined. I highly recommend Cabo La Estancia & Giovanni. We will definitely stay there the next time we go.
Sheer perfection
July 20, 2022
Cabo La Estancia and villa 1507 were sheer perfections from beginning to end. From the stellar, friendly service, the spectacular accommodations, and outstanding cuisine to the well-appointed gym to work off all that delicious food and the soothing sounds of the Pacific, we couldn’t be happier that we chose to spend our holiday at this gorgeous resort. Thank you Giovanni for helping make our holiday a true pleasure!
Home away from Home on World Renowned Medano Beach!
July 20, 2022
I can’t say enough about our stay at Villa Estancia Villa 1308. Very Comfortable with everything we needed at our fingertips. Gormet Kitchen, Perfect Location close to everything, Great communication with the owners too. They shared with us their Boat guy that got us a 4-hour sunset cruise for the best price in town. We also caught two yellow fin tuna and a rooster fish. We were on our way to Santa Maria to snorkel and just pulled a couple lures and bam-bam….fish on! Thank you all for the best vacation ever. For sure we will be back! 5 Star All the way around.
Seller’s remorse
July 8, 2022
I am writing as a former owner of an Oceanfront Penthouse Villa (3401) within the Villa La Estancia (VLE) development located on Medano Beach in Cabo San Lucas.
At present, my wife Cheryl and I are managing through seller’s remorse as we were an owner from 2004 up until late spring 2022.
During this time, we experienced too many to count memorable family vacations while establishing lifetime friendships in Cabo.
Our continued ownership and ultimate property management of the villa was made possible by Giovanni Giammarco of “The Agency Los Cabos”.
Giovanni proved to be a very talented, knowledgeable, and trustworthy /ethical real estate professional. Accordingly, we placed great trust in him and his team as they were retained for nearly ten years overseeing our property management activities with discretion. In fact, I often provided Gio with my proxy to attend and vote on HOA matters on our behalf.
Gio’s on-property grounds team, led by private concierge Samantha, proved exceptional in managing our clients.
Suffice it to say, Gio and his team made it possible for my wife and me to be comfortable enough to rent our villa to other families for over a decade. This was a big net revenue generator.
Of course, when it came time for us to sell our villa we leaned heavily on Gio as our listing agent to source a qualified buyer within his network. He delivered on this promise by securing a fair financial offer, and represented both us as the seller and the buyer as well! Of all the realtors I have worked with, I can confidently say, “Gio understands as well as anyone “Price is only an issue in the absence of value “. Importantly, Gio professionally managed the sale process (details associated with the Purchase Agreement, Title Company, fideicomiso (escrow), VLE HOA et.al.)
The bottom line is this: I would recommend Gio to any friends and or family looking to purchase or sell their dream home in Cabo San Lucas or Los Angeles for that matter!
Relaxing sisters trip
July 8, 2022
We had a lovely time relaxing in Room 1507. The condo was large with a wonderful view of the grounds and ocean from its huge patio. The beds were comfortable and the condo was equipped with anything we might need – plenty of towels, hair dryer, coffee maker, even books from previous guests. We hope to return in the near future. It was the perfect trip for us.
Cabo Estancia Makes Vacation Feel Like Paradise
July 7, 2022
Amazing Resort on beautiful part of beach along Sea of Cortez. A must stay- with adjacent sister resorts that offer amazing dining and activities can not imagine staying anywhere else. Geovanni and team made the the trip so easy and memorable with over the top service from initial inquiry, thru reservations, arrival and departure. THANK YOU
This villa had everything and more
July 7, 2022
My family celebrated our 30th anniversary at this spectacular villa. It was perfect from the moment we checked in. Carla the property manager was very attentive and Santa the housekeeper was exceptional! This villa had everything and more….the patio overlooking the ocean was where we spent all of our time. Would definitely stay here again. Thank you!!
Top-notch professionalism
July 7, 2022
We have been working seamlessly with Gio for years so when the opportunity to sell our fractional condo and buy a full ownership unit arose, there was no doubt in our minds about selecting Gio and his team to represent us.
Gio brings top-notch professionalism to the table each and every time!
His experience, availability, attention to detail and proactiveness are all the qualities we look for in a realtor especially when it comes to purchasing foreign properties. His team made everything easy for us, including arranging all the logistics for the power of attorney. Gio always makes us feel as if we are his only clients even though we know he is super busy working with others as well. We highly recommend Gio and his team for all your real estate needs.
Best vacation ever, out of over 100
June 20, 2022
I was blown away by how nice the finishes were, the bathroom upgrades, and the giant balcony. 6 kids and there was plenty of room, 3 bathrooms, it was incredible. The pools were great, and the staff was amazing. Best vacation ever, out of over 100
Beautiful property and excellent location
June 1, 2022
Villa La Estancia is a beautiful property and an excellent location for getting around Los Cabos. This beautiful Villa is well appointed with everything you need for your vacation including a kitchen with everything you need for cooking and a large washer and dryer.
Fantastic Location and Great Family Value
June 1, 2022
I can’t believe how awesome Villa Estancia is and Luxury Condo 1308. Amazingly close to town, on the main Cabo beach with all the activities just outside your door. 5 Star Food, People, and Location. We look forward to making this an annual trip. The beds were so comfortable and the sheets feel like silk. Couldn’t have been better on all fronts. Thank you Cabo La Estancia for making our experience a memory.
Beautiful property and panoramic villa 3301
June 1, 2022
Cabo La Estancia is a beautiful and well maintained property. Great location, as it’s only about a 10 minute walk down the beach to great bars and restaurants such as the Office, and it’s a little quieter than some of the resorts closer to downtown. We loved the panoramic villa 3301. Great service from the staff at La Estancia.
The ultimate professional
May 19, 2022
I typically don’t write a review for anything or anyone, but the outstanding service I received from Giovanni Giammarco and his realty team at The Agency Los Cabos calls for an exception. For me, selling a property in Mexico is anticipated to be a very stressful process. Giovanni was candid, provided great feedback, helped explain clearly all details, and
was extremely responsive to every one of my questions, no matter how many (and I had many!!) or how small.
The re-sale real estate market in Cabo San Lucas is currently exceptionally difficult, however, Giovanni and his team made selling my villa at Villa La Estancia a smooth and pleasant experience. They knew exactly what to do at every step of the process and gave me excellent guidance along the way.
I would highly recommend Giovanni and his team at The Agency Los Cabos to anyone selling or buying real estate in Cabo San Lucas.
He is the ultimate professional.
What an INCREDIBLE place for a getaway to Cabo!
May 11, 2022
This fabulous unit was the most awesome place I’ve ever stayed at in Cabo! Quiet area with first floor access to the pools, beach and spa. Plus the views of Los Arcos were incredible all times of the day. In addition, the La Estancia staff were extremely professional and responsive to anything we needed. Kudos!!!
Villa 3301 had amazing views!
April 4, 2022
Giovanni,
