Club Cascadas de Baja

Club Cascadas is the greatest vacation experience I have ever had. The very best Location, architecture, service, quiet, warm and accomodating resort in Cabo. Located within walking distance from town, "The Office" (beach restaurant a must), on Medano beach looking at the beautiful and famous rock formations of "lands end" and "lovers beach". I highly recommend!!!

This resort is the most beautiful place in Cabo. A widely travelled friend who came with me, someone who has stayed at many beautiful resorts on different oceans, said this was one of the most beautiful beaches she had ever seen. Club Cascades is an uncrowded resort, quiet, and peaceful. The builder/architect clearly built this with a conscious intent to use the land and the location respectfully.

From the lounge chairs on the beach, you can look across the bay at the beautiful and famous rock formations. A water taxi costs a few dollars and will take you there to snorkel. It's a short walk to a shopping center and food markets. The on-site restaurant has good food and is on the beach. A really wonderful, non-pretentious resort.

Unbelievable, secluded, quaint, nothing like it in Cabo. These villas were featured on the cover of Architectural Digest. The canopies in the bedrooms are so romantic with the candles. If you are looking for a quiet vacation with plenty of pampering; this is it. It is what Mexico is portrayed in the commercials. Only 85 units on site, so very difficult to try and get into it. The thing I like the most is they don't allow for any loud noise after 10 pm at night....love that. I would go back in a minute.

We stayed here in Feb 2007. As a previous reviewer wrote, don't exchange for a one BR unless you are sure you are not getting the "hotel", make sure it is one of the villas. Be ready for architecture that knows nothing of precision. Doorways and windows have open spaces all around. The mosquito nets are not just for looks. Nice place all in all, as long as you aren't looking for lavishness and can do without phones and TV. Restaurant onsite is good, but nothing can be billed to your room, a separate charge account must be created.

As a longtime owner of this great place all I can say is it's the Best of the Best in Cabo. For those who read all the postings here, let me explain the circumstances behind this resort and its development: Club Cascadas was developed by Edward Giddings in the late 1980's and sold mostly through about 1992. It consists of several 'designer' style villa buildings and a tower building at the back of the resort furthest from the beach. Pools and lush gardens fill the grounds and the lack of televisions and telephones is a welcome respite from being Stateside. Originally, Giddings' plan included development of a boat launch and marina on land that is now the Pueblo Bonito Rose timeshare. Giddings did own the land. He never intended for the gorgeous sunset views at Club Cascadas to be compromised. But sadly he passed away at an early age in 1994, leaving his wife and sons to carry on in his absence. His wife Patricia still has a home on site and is seen there regularly, as are her sons and their families. However, the land development master-planned by Ed didn't take place and the family sold that land to Pueblo Bonito. It is my understanding that they were told that the views were not going to become obstructed - but big business took over and now about 25% of the units have a view of the back of 'El Pinko' (as another poster referred to it). Having stayed at 'EP' on an exchange with one of my RCI weeks, I can tell you it's a nice place, but it's NO Club Cascadas. Thank God Ed Giddings was the visionary he was and that the legacy he left us lives on in his 2 masterpieces, the Club Cascadas de Baja in Cabo, and the wonderful Ocho Cascadas in Puerto Vallarta. They truly are the BEST of Mexico!
