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?
If so, we can definitely assist you. Contact us today!
Let us arrange a private tour of our available villas for sale. We will also share with you how to make your dream home pay for itself through our rental program.

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
Amazing!

My girlfriends and I were just here for a bachelorette party this past weekend…absolutely amazing! The Villa is Clean, Comfortable , and everyone is so nice! Easy access to the Pool and Beach! Would come back anytime!
We look forward to growing our relationship with Gio in the years to come
March 1, 2019
My wife and I lead an active and sometimes hectic lifestyle, running multiple companies and traveling almost constantly, so finding Gio has been invaluable to our peace of mind. When we met Gio we immediately felt comfortable working with him, and he quickly proved himself to be deeply knowledgeable and trustworthy. As is often the case, we presented Gio with a number of challenging tasks (including getting a last-minute extension on our escrow), and his quick work and diligence managed to save the day. He is truly one of those rare, intuitive individuals who can anticipate our needs even before we do. His team manages the rental of our units, and like Gio, they are always accommodating and excellent problem solvers. We look forward to growing our relationship with Gio in the years to come.
In a matter of about two weeks, we had a very workable offer
March 1, 2019
People like Giovanni and his partner Martin are a rare breed. After over three years of listing with the Villa Group, I decided to give Giovanni and Martin a try. Really, what did I have to lose? In a matter of about two weeks, we had a very workable offer. Both Giovanni and Martin represented both myself (as the seller) and the buyer. If you want to rent or sell your property, then the choice is an easy one, go with Giovanni of Cabo La Estancia and his partner Martin.
Thank you for the welcome.
March 1, 2019
Hello Giovanni,
Thank you for the welcome. I would like to thank you and your team for helping us in our purchase of PH 1502. The process was fairly easy and simple especially compared to our purchase of 3307 from the developer. (another long story) You and your team are true professionals and really know the VLE market.
Anyway glad to have my partner and me in on 1502…Looking forward to a great remodel and many happy days at VLE.
Cheers, Kris Anderson & Art Strauss Jr. new owner, Penthouse 1502
Thanks for making this Escrow period fast and painless.
March 1, 2019
Thanks, Gio for creating a market for a quick sale of our Penthouse 1502. We truly didn’t anticipate you getting that accomplished so fast. Guess I should be careful what we wished for. I know you and your staff are involved in all aspects at VLE (rentals & sales) but to produce a buyer so quickly was unexpected and now annoying.
(Just kidding…Kind of). It is with a heavy heart that I close this chapter of ownership at Estancia but will look forward to working with you to rent a place on one of your listings in the future.
Thanks for making this Escrow period fast and painless.
Bob & Donna Draney Former owner, Penthouse 1502
Awesome place
November 23, 2014
We vacationed at La Estancia in Oct 2013 and it was the best vacation I have ever.rooms are top notch the staff are the best if you needed anything they were there we enjoyed it so much we are going back for a month in Jan 2015. the beach is very nice water is so clear and blue and warm.i could go on and on but just book it and get down there
Besides our business relationship, we also became good friends.
March 1, 2019
I have known Giovanni Giammarco for over 10 years as a fellow owner and because of his Cabo La Estancia. I listed my penthouse with Giovanni for the purpose of renting to
his high-end clientele.
Besides our business relationship, we also became good friends.
When it came time to make the decision on listing my unit for sale, I trusted Giovanni to represent me with his 30 years of real estate experience, plus I knew he was a US broker too. It all helped contribute to a successful closing.
Dana Oberlin Former owner, Penthouse 2801
We would strongly recommend him if you want to sell your unit at Villa Estancia
March 1, 2019
We were original owners at Villa Estancia and for over 10 years Giovanni Giammarco helped us manage and rent our unit. When the time came to sell we had “Gio” represent us. From effectively managing all the buyers and showings offers and counteroffers he got our unit sold. Then he effectively managed the complex Mexican closing processes, Gio was our representative and got our deal closed. Our escrow closed on time and right in line with Gio’s expected proceeds and timing. We would strongly recommend him if you want to sell your unit at Villa Estancia. Go with Gio!
Dane Hillyard Former owner, Villa 3101-1/4
Will work with Gio again in a heartbeat.
March 1, 2019
We recently closed on our dream property at Villa Estancia, after renting several different units there with Gio over the last 7 years. The deal took almost a year to finally close, and Gio served as a trusted advisor to us throughout the somewhat opaque and circuitous route from the initial offer to the signed contracts. Gio was communicative, straightforward, and insightful over the course of this difficult transaction and we would and will work with him again in a heartbeat.
Jack and Mary Keenan New owner, Villa 3101-1/4
Giovanni Giammarco made our transaction one of the easiest we have experienced
March 1, 2019
Purchasing property in a foreign country can be a challenge but Giovanni Giammarco made our transaction one of the easiest we have experienced. He was reliable, provided open communication throughout the entire process, and was available every step of the way. Because of his tenacity and determination, we were actually able to close early and now are the proud owners of PH3502 at Villa La estancia, our new luxury dream home. Thank you, Giovanni!
Mary Vaidya New owner, Penthouse 3502
No one I’d trust more to represent me
March 1, 2019
It was hard enough to make the decision to sell my villa in Cabo, and the two potential transactions that failed to close with other agents at Estancia only made matters more difficult. I felt comfortable and confident when, Giovanni Giammarco, shared with me his background of 25 years of real estate experience and commercial success in the U.S. He is also one of our villa owners, past President of the HOA, and founder of Cabo La Estancia which is the number one rental company for Estancia online. Cabo La Estancia has provided me with significant rental income on PH3502 over the past several years and Giovanni was always personally involved, using his expertise to maximize my cash flow on the villa. Consequently, I knew there would be no one I’d trust more to represent me when I decided to sell my Cabo Penthouse.
