..Ocean Front Newly Remodelled Luxury at Casa Del Mar
5/5.Paradise!

I could not have been more pleased with this condo! La Playa 201 was extremely clean, comfortable and luxurious. It is right on the water- you literally fall asleep to the sound of waves crashing, and it feels like you have your own private beach right outside of the condo. It was obvious no corners were cut in design- stainless steel kitchen with complete appliances, marble and stone bathroom fixtures- and a beautifully designed huge balcony. I highly recommend eating dinner at The Mezquite Grill- dining right on the sand by the water at Casa del Mar- delicious seafood and other grilled entrees. The staff at Casa del Mar was extremely accommodating and helpful. My husband and I loved enjoying a glass of wine on the patio's chaise lounge chairs while taking in the beautiful view. I highly recommend this Casa del Mar experience- a truly luxurious, private stay. I already can't wait to go back!

5/5.Beautiful and Secluded

We stayed at this condo for ten days in June 2010 and it was beautiful. Condo was clean, absolutely oceanfront with beautiful views and it was well-stocked. Three flat-screen tv's with DVRs, free Internet and long-distance phone as well. The owner sends directions on how to use everything, including password info for the free Internet, ours worked great the whole week, even by the pool. The location is great because it's halfway between the two cities and not a lot of people at all on the beach. We used a car service from the airport which stopped at the grocery store for us, which was nice. However, taxi's are VERY expensive ($40 roundtrip to grocery store) and there is only one restaurant at the hotel, so for the money it's better to rent a car. A car would be a must if you're looking for nightlife. The restaurant is just a few steps from the condo, and we had dinner delivered on several nights and ate out on the porch, which was beautiful. The only downside is that if you are not staying at the hotel, you are not allowed at one of the pools which is right down on the beach, this is the pool that has lounge chairs on the beach. The owner of this condo kindly supplies chairs and umbrellas for use on the beach though. The other pools are clean, with great views and swim-up bars, so not being able to go to that one pool isn't a big deal. All in all, this condo is absolutely worth the money if you're looking for a clean, upscale, private experience.

5/5.Wonderful place for a family Cabo Vacation!

Just a quick note to let you know how much we enjoyed staying at your place in Cabo. The hotel property was beautiful and your condo must be the best in the whole complex. The trip was so much fun. When we were planning to go to Cabo we thought we would stay at the Cabo Surf Hotel since my kids surf. But we are so glad we choose to stay at the Casa Del Mar instead. We rented a van and so it was very easy to drive to the surf beaches as well as into town. We loved the long white beach and had a great time riding horses in front of the unit. Most of the time we felt like we had our own private beach….so beautiful! We loved waking up early and drinking our coffee on your balcony. All in all it was the perfect place to vacation and we definitely plan on returning. Actually, I have given your info to a couple of other families who will be contacting you soon!

5/5.Mexico retreat
Guest: Kenny(Denver, Colorado)
Date of Stay: 05/05/10 Review Submitted: 06/25/10
The description was accurate, as were the photos. The condo and the surrounding property really over-delivered. Great pool and nice gym. I didn't use the spa but it looked gorgeous. I would highly recommend this condo to others. Beautiful view of the sea and there are very few people on the beach. The owners responded quickly via email when I had a question. The restaurant on the property was delicious. The general feel of Casa del Mar is peaceful and clean. I knew we wanted to come back some time in the future so I scouted out a few other condos, but concluded I am going to re-rent this property when we come back next year.

5/5.Perfect Romantic Getaway
Guest: Penny(Washington, DC)
Date of Stay: 06/02/10 Review Submitted: 06/20/10
While I stayed at Casa Del Mar with friends, my first thought was to bring my wife back for another stay. The condo is perfect: modern and classy, luxury without being over the top. It is a place that feels like your home immediately as you walk through the door. The layout is very flexible: two couples could feel like they have their own privacy, or a family could split the two bedrooms between parents and children. MY FAVES (for the condo): The deep balcony is luxurious. The view is NOTHING but blue water. You could spend your whole time on the balcony, there are multiple chairs, loungers and a table. The buff colored river stone shower is heaven. Huge, clean, and new. FAVES (for the Casa Del Mar property) The property itself is stellar. Walking through the large entrance to the pool is stunning: ocean, mountains across the water, palm trees. Petals are placed in the fountain by 6AM! Details like this abound. Something I want to do when I bring my wife and kids back: they will serve you a mesquite grilled dinner on the beach, while you enjoy a large fire pit and torches. Finally, a memory for your family that doesn't involve Transformers or Disney princesses. I have stayed at many 5/6 star resorts as the result of being married to the art director of a travel magazine, and I would put my experience at this condo and this resort at the very top. I will be coming back, I can't recommend this Casa Del Mar experience highly enough.

We had an absolutely perfect vacation staying here! Everything was wonderful, the condo is perfectly appointed and was everything we could ask for. We rented the condo with another couple so it was four of us plus two infants and it was an excellent layout for two families - we never felt as though we were in each other's way.

This was my first ever visit to Cabo. I love Hawaii and I have continually told my friends that Hawaii is the ultimate vacation. I have to lower the level of praise for Hawaii and will now direct it to Cabo. Specificially Playa 201. The condo looks directly at the water. Everything was perfect. Beautiful scenery. Sleeping with the screen open at night to hear the waves crashing against the beach. I soaked up the sun by day, cooled in the air conditioned condo by afternoon, dined and wined at the best resturants at night and slept to the sound of the sea. How much better can life be? Thank you to the owners of this condo for sharing their paradise home and for being such generous hosts as to provide satellite, free calls to the USA and wireless Internet.

I just spent a week in paradise! The two bedroom ocean-front villa is the perfect spot for a relaxing vacation but close enough to great night-life and amazing restaurants with killer views. Cabo has so much to offer and this is the perfect place to stay. I had all the comforts of home plus two gorgeous marble bathrooms that belong in NYC or Parisian hotels. The flat screen TVs and Dish Network with DVR allowed me to watch my sports and record my wife's favorite shows. Every night we drank wine on the tremendous balcony. There is a great pool right in front of the villa and there is hardly ever anyone in that pool. I enjoyed walking on the beach right behind the villa to the oceanfront pool and swim-up bar. My wife spent tons of time at the spectacular spa right across from the villa. She even had massages right on the beach...just yards from the villa. This was our third trip to Cabo and by far our favorite. This is the perfect place to stay. I normally do a ton of work (yes, even on vacation) but couldn't help but slow down and enjoy the amenities and beauty of La Playa 201 and Casa Del Mar. Of course the fact that there was wireless access in the condo and a Vonage phone...did make the little business I had to do that much easier. It was also great calling the family to check in once a day in the States. We found the staff to be very helpful and friendly and the owner could not be more accomodating. I have recommended the villa to at least 10 friends in the last two weeks!! My wife and I are already planning next year.

The accommodations at this condo and the resort itself were wonderful. We loved the ocean views from the incredibly HUGE balcony, in addition to all the amenities at Casa Del Mar. This condo is located just steps from the lobby, the infinity pool, and the pool located right on the sand, which was our favorite. We also enjoyed the US satellite channels so that we could come in from a long day in the sun and be able to watch television that we were familiar with! We were also so glad that we chose to stay a little bit outside of Cabo San Lucas because it was so much more quiet and private. The drive into Cabo was very quick, so the location worked out perfectly. I would recommend this condo wholeheartedly, and the owner was incredibly helpful.
