Cabo Villas

We have owned here since 2008. We originally bought to rent out, we have done this successfully twice, just stayed here for the first time in May of this year, took another couple with us and had a great time. I highly recommend a day trip to Lapaz, it is well worth the small price, or sit through the 90 minute presentation and get it free, as well as other freebies. They wont push you like some others, simply here them out and let them know your intentions up front. We found that the current value of our (1) bed room suit is still a little more than we paid for it, a good thing.

Pros: Excellent location, decent rooms, party atmosphere for those that want it.

Cons:Lots of smokers, heavier drinking crowd, party atmosphere for those that do not want it, despite location most rooms have little view of bay, staff tries hard and want to please but are pretty inexperienced, resort shows age.

This is a place we used as a launching point to go and do activities from (para-sail, snorkel, drive to Todos Santos...) It was not a really the resort we wanted to lounge around and spend time at during the day. At Pueblo Bonito Sunset, we loved just relaxing (in our ocean view room or by pools) and the resort was the focus. Very upscale yet relaxed guests and facility.

*** BUYER BEWARE *** Before investing in a timeshare at Cabo Villas. You should know about their special assessment fees. This fee is over and above the maintenance fee that you know about when you sign a contract. The management claim they can do this because they still have a majority ownership in the owner's association. So, last year they had an association meeting (without the knowledge of other timeshare owners such as me) and decided to assess a special fee of $75 per week owned. They claim this was the first time they ever levied a special assessment. Even if that is true, if they did it once they can do it again, and who says that it won't be $100, $200, or $500 the next time. Secondly, you have to watch your room charges on your credit card because they like to add extra charges to it. In spite of this, Cabo Villas is a fun resort with a great beach club and I go back every year. However, my advise is that you are much better to rent from other owners than to invest in a timeshare ownership here.

RCI memberes beware: The RCI rooms are in the BASEMENT (yep you heard me right). Thisis mostly and II exchange resort and if you go with RCI you will be underground!!

Hello, we have owned here for over 6 yrs. and it keeps getting better! That's why we bought another 1 bedroom unit. We rent both Studio and 1Bed. - we'll beat anyone's price! MarilynC56
