Cabo San Lucas Hotel Tips by AdamCode

I stayed here with a group of eight friends on a college Spring Break vacation in March 2006 and found the hotel to have a great value for the price we paid. We did not book the hotel directly through Villa del Palmar, but instead found two rooms that were rented from people owning time shares here. For 7 nights we paid $600 for one room and $800 for the other (although they were nearly identical rooms), split between 8 people making it a very inexpensive $25 per person per night.

The rooms had one large bedroom with a king bed and an attached bathroom, another bathroom, and a kitchen/living room area where there was a pull out couch (double). The pull out couch was pretty small to sleep two guys on, but hey it was spring break. The kitchen had a large refridgerator, a stove, oven, and some cookware. This was nice because we were able to cook simple snacks/meals and keep our store bought beer cold! They cleaned the room everyday, which was much needed for us. None of us ate at the hotel restaurant, but we did eat some mediocre pizzas that they make down at the bar by the pool.

I saw a wide variety of people staying at this hotel. At the time, almost all were Americans, but of all ages. There were families with kids, couples, and yes, some college springbreakers! It wasn't a total party scene though like you see at some places. If that's what you're looking for, it isn't that far away...

The hotel is located about a 20 minute walk from the center of town, or a 5 minute taxi ride. Most of the taxi's down there are large vans and they are great if you have a large group. I remember that the taxi fare was almost always exactly $7 or 70 pesos each way, no matter how many people were in the van! I saw some vans with at least 12 people! This is probably the preferred way to get to the downtown, but I did end up walking a few times and it wasn't bad.

All in all I was very happy with the selection of this hotel. 2 thumbs up.
