I've been meaning to write this review for a while. My husband and I stayed at the Bungalows in March 2007. Overall, I would say that based on previous reviews the Bungalows lived up to expectations (bring your earplugs) except for in one area -- the service. Unfortunately, my husband and I did not receive the warm welcome and hospitality that we were expecting based on all the reviews we read. The service was fine - but nothing to write about. Basically, the service was what I would expect from any decent hotel. While we were there the owner appeared to be more concerned about the finances and her "books" than providing that warm service that everyone spoke about. Would I stay here again -- not sure, we liked the proximity to downtown (walking distance) and the cleanliness of the hotel but we would probably check out other options.

One last thing -- they were a little skimpy with the portions for breakfast. They gave me 1/2 of a breakfast burrito (they gave all the women 1/2 of a burrito) and gave my husband a whole one. I could have eaten the whole thing. I think that rather than assuming what someone will eat they should ask them up front if they are that concerned about rationing their food.

My husband and I stayed here for 4 nights based on the reviews on Trip Advisor. Eric knows all about this website and the reviews. The breakfast was amazing I am working on my own banana pecan pancakes this weekend. The room was very clean and was perfect for a home base while we toured the Baja region. It would be nice if the hotel had TV stations but Eric keeps a nice stock of movies to watch. The pool needs to be cleaned everyday rather then every other due to the leaves, pollen, etc. We also met Estella's older son Junion who now has a restaurant next door. He makes delicious tacos plus you get to meet his little girl Esebella. We would definitly stay here again.

We booked a stay at the bungalows after seeing the #1 rating it had here on Trip Advisor, but because the price seemed almost too-good-to-
be-true, we also booked three days at the Estancia down at the beach just in case. Wow, the bungalows is absolutely awesome. Eric and Stella are the friendliest and most helpfull hoteliers you could find anywhere and the rooms were simply stunning. We had one of the two bedroom bungalows and it was pristine and huge! It is only a 5 minute walk from downtown Cabo and the marina, or a $7.00usd cab ride anywhere in town. We walked down to Modano beach each day taking our time and enjoying the window shopping on the way.

We were sad to leave when it was time to relocate to the Estancia on the beach. The Estancia was twice the price and it was terrible! You can read my panning review of the Estancia if you go looking for it. If you have kids and wanted the simplicity of them being able to simply run down the beach on they're own then you might want to stay on the beach, but otherwise I highly recommend you stay at the bungalows for top quality rooms and better service at a fraction of the beach front price.

I think we can safely say we'll always stay at the Bungalows when we come to Cabo in the future. This was our 2nd stay there (3rd for our son) and it feels like coming home. Our group was there over a total of 10 days - we had 13 people coming and going over that period of time and it was a great place for all of our needs - business retreat for some, vacation and relaxation for others, and access to the restaurants and nightlife of Cabo for most. It provided us with just what we needed - an oasis in the midst of a beautiful place and the freedom to participate in what we wanted to do on our terms. To me, that is the ideal.

As always, Estella and Eric make this place special. They are there to be a resource, provide help and make you feel at home. My arrival came complete with a hug from Eric and as I stepped through the entry gate, I felt relaxed. This place makes it almost impossible to stay stressed.

We had a certificate for 3 free nights at Cabo Villas from a prior timeshare pitch and we decided to extend our stay and use it there. After our arrival at the new place, we called back to the Bungalows (our oldest son was still there) and told Eric we'd never stray again. The comparisons were just too stark. When we called the front desk there, we were a number. When we call the front desk at the Bungalows, we are people. It makes a huge difference.

Our diverse group all loved the place. The ages ranged from 8 years old to over 70 and they came away with a wonderful impression of both the hotel and town. For most, it was their first time in Cabo and we are glad they felt the same way we do about the Bungalows.

I could rave about the breakfasts, the peaceful poolside hours, or the exceptional service, but I'll just say it's as good as ever and I'm glad we know it's there when we need it.
