While traveling to Cabo with good friends in December, we spent 6 nights at The Bungalows, what a wonderful experience!

The Bungalows were simply stunning! The rooms are beautiful and contain everything you need, including a few things you wouldn't expect. Each morning we were treated to an amazing breakfast, complete with fresh fruit plates, fruit juice or smoothies and coffee. What a great way to start the day! The pool is devine and is as warm as a hot tub. A very relaxing way to end the day!

But the very best part of our stay? Estela, Erik and Junior and their gracious hospitality! All three went above and beyond to make us feel right at home. Anytime we were in need of something, from bottled water, movies and popcorn to scenic adventures and dinner recommendations, they came through for us! On our last evening in Cabo, Erik realized we hadn't eaten at the Patagonia yet (as we had trouble finding it). He loaded the four of us up in his own car and drove us to the restaurant without hesitation. Once there, he introduced us to the owners and made sure we had some wine to start the evening off right. Based on his suggestion, we ordered the Grand Patagonia and had the most amazing meal (large enough to feed the four of us) ~ the best dinner of our entire trip! Thanks Erik!

The saddest part of the trip... realizing it all had to come to an end. We cannot wait to visit Cabo and our friends at The Bungalows again. Thank you Estela, Erik and Junior for making our trip so enjoyable!

Had a great stay. Eric, Junior, and Estella make you feel like family. Beds were very comfortable. It is a little bit of a walk from town but well worth it and gave us great exercise. The breakfasts were wonderful and we looked forward to them each morning. Loved the little touches such as the specialty soaps, chocolates, etc. etc. Gave great restaurant recommendations. Thanks Eric, Junior, and Estella!

You are nuts to stay anywhere else in Cabo San Lucas! This little gem is amazing and the entire staff treat every guest like family, not just a customer.

We stayed for 7nights in a deluxe 1 bedroom and the accomodations could not have been better. From arriving to find handmade chocolates & flowers on the bed to the handmade soaps and furnishings in the room.. Amazing! (The bed was the most comfortable bed we have ever slept on while travelling as well)

Eric, Estella & Jr. are warm, friendly people, who will help you with absolutely anything you need. Movies & popcorn at night (its yours) You want a massage, they will get a masseuse to come to the hotel, fishing? done, golf?done, great tacos? done.. They truly enjoy your company and will help with anything you need which is worth the price in itself.

And the breakfasts.. Oh my! This is the greatest breakfast a hotel has ever seen.. Imagine every day having a different handmade authentic Mexican cuisine prepared (and served) to you.. No buffet line.. you dine outside around a soothing fountain and watch little birds fly about in the trees. Meals consist of fresh fruit, Coffee & tea, freshly made smoothies & hand-squeezed juices and a different main course every day. One day it was waffles (stuffed with apple,banana & walnuts), the next might be a fritata with a mushroom chile sauce, the next might be a breakfast burrito with potato,cheese & beans or french toast with apples and cinnamon inside.. In 7 days we had a different meal every day.. Note: if you have any food allergies just advise the staff when you sit down & they will come up with a spectacular & safe meal just for you!! (Did you notice the word "or" didn't exist (no choosing, it all comes for you!!)

Getting there is so easy! We rented a small car at the airport and drove to the hotel. You get on the main road and it takes you directly to the hote (no kidding!) Driving in Cabo is easy compared to some cities in Mexico and having a small car lets you get about to explore the baja and all that Cabo has to offer. The drive is so easy and direct to the hotel (about 25 minutes)and they have ample parking.

The hotel is just away from the city, in the foothills above Cabo, (ensuring a good night sleep) but you can easily walk to the city and the beaches in about 10-15minutes. No car, no problem! If you need to go somewhere, Eric will get you there!

The hotel deserves every accolade it has received and will exceed your expectation, it is by far the best deal in Cabo. We will be back for sure and recommend it to everyone from every walk of life!!

I just got back yesterday from a 5-day stay at the Bungalows, and I am happy to say that we had a wonderful time there. Eric and his brother Jr. create a family feeing at this inn, and Eric, besides cooking the amazing breakfasts, hustles around happily from table to table as he serves guests with a bright smile, making sure we feel welcome to be there. We had four breakfasts during our stay, and each one surpassed the other. (I consider myself somewhat of a "foodie" with picky tastes, and from the apple waffles to the poblano chili benedict sauce, every item was the very best. ) Our room was spacious, comfortable, and decorated with Mexican folk art. We were supplied with as much bottled water as we wanted, and we kept it in our room frig to keep it cold. We never heard any noise from other rooms, even though the inn was sold out during our stay. The grounds are lush and tropical, with birds and butterflies flitting about. We were far enough away from the crush of town to avoid the noise, but we walked in daily to sightsee. I would happily return to the Bungalows, for now I feel we almost have "family" there.

My wife and I, along with her brother and his wife, just completed a 6 night stay at the Bungalows.

After reviewing multiple sites and reviews, we booked our accomodations at the Bungalows. Erics warm welcome and tour of the facility was awesome. From the book trade cabinet, the free movies and popcorn, the very quiet and relaxing atmosphere, and the relaxing pool, all was as advertised.

Eric recommended great restaraunts and places to visit. Junior arranged our fishing trip, and arose with us at 6am to make us smoothies, and to send us on our way with pop and water for the day. No fish caught, but if we had, Junior had offered to grill it for us for dinner.

The breakfasts (we ate 2 of the 6 offered as our wifes are picky) were superb. Bungalows Benedict is the specialty, and wonderful. You must realize that the menu is set for the day, but they will accomodate a special request if possible. My sister in law wanted just plain scrambled eggs, and they obliged.

Junior provided great directions in town, and we never got lost.

I can certainly say that our next trip to Cabo will involve us staying with Estella, Eric, and Junior. I cannot imagine a more comfortable and accomodating facility. I travel quite a bit for business, and the Bungalows rates as high as anyplace I have ever stayed.
