“Great, Relaxing Property”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 29, 2012

My husband and I are active 60-somethings. This was our first time to Cabo and this was such a friendly and intimate property. It is a rather small hotel/timeshare especially compared to the Hotel Puebla Bonita next door, which is very large. The size of Cascadas made it easy to get around. Cascadas is so well constructed I think it would be impervious to hurricanes other than the glass windows. The exteriors and interiors have all rounded corners and there is no wood furniture. The coffee tables and nightstands are stone and marble and there are no wood cupboards in the kitchen or bathroom. Instead there are painted concrete shelves and beneath the sinks open cubicles. There are no TV's or phones in the rooms, which definitely encourages you to destress and get away from it all if you want.

We stayed in Escondido 11, which was on the second floor and overlooked the "shark" pool. There are two pools here; the one near the beach is the "turtle" pool and the one in the middle of the complex is the "shark" pool. The pools have these names because each has the particular creatures done in mosaic tiles on the bottom of the pool. Escondido 11 is a 2 bedroom, 2 bath, unit with a great room that has the kitchen, dining & family room as one area. Just outside is a large balcony overlooking the shark pool. Each bedroom is roomy and has a very comfortable king-size bed and both bedrooms open onto a large shared balcony with two chaise lounges. This balcony overlooks a walkway next to the Hotel Puebla Bonita and Cascadas, so nothing really to look at on that side. They do a great job of keeping up the grounds at this facility and their beach has wonderful palapas you can spend the day under and enjoy sunning, swimming in the ocean, purchasing from the many peddlers who walk by all day (kept at a distance from the guests by a small rope barrier so you are not harassed but you are free to approach any of them whose items you are interested in purchasing). You can reserve a palapa if you go to the beach early in the morning and place your towel on a lounge chair and let security know and they are usually there first thing in the morning making notes of what palapas are being reserved.

There is a great coffee shop called Club Too that opens at 7 am and offers all kinds of coffee and expresso drinks, muffins, bagels, croissants, a couple desserts and about 8 different flavors of great ice cream. They also have a small store selling some resort wear, jewelry, and grocery items, as well as some basic types of medicine. One of the nicest benefits is that the onsite restaurant serves wonderful food for breakfast, lunch or dinner as well as service for food and drink on the beach and at the pools. The restaurant has a "Fiesta Night" with entertainment and a "Pasta Night" each week. Our group went deep sea fishing and brought back dorado which the chef fixed for the 8 of us. We chose to have our fish blackened and/or grilled and both were delicious. This was a complete meal with salad, vegetables and rice for $12 a person.

They have a salon on site as well as spa treatments, an exercise room with elliptical, treadmill, etc., free weights. The main clubhouse has a a couple large flat screen TV's and we watched the baseball playoffs and some of the World Series while we were there Oct. 18-25. There are staff to help you plan any kind of activity you want to participate in: snorkeling, scuba diving, deap sea fishing, parasailing, paddle boarding, kayaking, dinner cruise, booze cruise, etc. We had sunshine all week with temperatures in the 80's Fahrenheit and so was the ocean (actually Sea of Cortez).

All the staff here are friendly and helpful and the smaller size of this property makes it a very relaxing vacation. I'd definitely go here again.

Room Tip: Escondido 11 was a wonderful villa with two master bedrooms and you could definitely sleep two more...

“Character and Great Service”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 10, 2012

Visited Club Cascadas on September 27th , 2012. We got the week as a bonus week exchange through TPI. The resort is celebrating its 25th anniversary, and had many surprises for us. This is one of the best exchanges we have had in 10 years of timesharing.

Things we found exceptional at the resort:
-In the week prior to our arrival the resort had gone through the tail of a cyclone and tropical storm. The day we arrived Cabo was majorly flooded, many streets were unpassable, and the wave and ocean were brown. It rained more the night of arrival then stopped for the rest of the week, within 24 hours the resort was clean of all mud/sand, the beach cleaned up, etc.. This all on top of their usual exceptional service.
-The on-site (and on the beach) restaurant was exceptional. Good food and good prices.
-Food and drink service to the beach and pool, felt more like a resort than a timeshare. In the end never made it to Walmart so never cooked ourselves, just charged everything to the room and spoiled ourselves.
-Great spot on Medano beach, great pool and beach palapa loungers.
-Easy 15 minute walk into the heart of Cabo on the beach or on the road.
-Very well maintained despite 25 years.
-Great architecture and character to the place. As my wife said you feel like Betty Rubble walking into a Flintstones Abode. (If you like 5 star new, shiny granite, etc, the place will not be for you.)
-“Family” atmosphere. Immediately noticed the many returning owners that knew each other, knew the multi-year staff. Most everyone was returning to their home away from home. And the staff all knew them. Very safe and great security.

The drawbacks:

-Air conditioning was only in the bedrooms. It worked and made sleep possible despite the lack of closed “windows/vents”. Made for constant blowing and noise. However, we were there at one of the hottest and humid periods possible in Cabo. With the major room ventilation and multiple ceiling fans most times this should not be a problem. If you demand central AC don’t come here. If old style flow through ocean breeze cooling is your thing you have found your place. (Hopefully, you don’t hit 90 degree feels like 110 (30C feels like 40C) weather like we did.)
-Funky, we loved it but not for everyone. Almost no square corners in the whole resort. Even all the shelving is rounded stone etc.

We stayed in a 2 bedroom downstairs unit, plenty of room, would be perfect to share with another couple and both bedrooms are self-contained with their own washrooms and air conditioner. The kitchen and large living room are shared. Close access to the beach and both pools and beachfront restaurant. Very warm and friendly staff and “residents”.

Additonal charges which included all meals and drinks for 7 days, and one hour long facial, came too approximately $800 for the week. Probably better food and service than most all-inclusives but much cheaper. My wife who does like to pamper herself raved about the facial.

“"Beautiful and unique"”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 7, 2012

We just returned from a week at this very unique resort. The grounds are beautiful with constant care. The villas are very comfortable with sufficient kitchens and plenty of room. We had a two bedroom, each had it's own bath. The pools are comfortable with sun, shade, and bars. On the
beach,"Medano Beach" there are Palapas with lounges. There is a spot for every need.
The staff at this resort were all exceptional. They were all kind, helpful and generally good at their jobs.
The one down side for us was there was no laundy facility on premises. This may not bother
other people, we just don't like to go home with a mountain of laundry.
The other thing is there are only wall air conditioners in the bedrooms. They work really well
but are very noisy if you are a light sleeper. This scared me because my husband is very partial
to air conditioning, but he did fine.
It is a great place to relax and rejuvenate. Do as much or as little as you want.
We had no mosquitos or other bugs. There are bug nets around the beds but we didn't need
them.
The food in the restaurant was okay, nothing to get excited about. It's convenient if you don't want to go off the property.

“Yabba Dabba Doo!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed September 26, 2012

Welcome to Bedrock! For one week in July, we were Betty and Barney.

We spent one of our five weeks in Cabo at this resort and have really mixed feelings about it. While the resort and villas were fantastic, we were sucked dry by mosquitoes and it really put a damper on our vacation.

The grounds were lovely and it appeard that all the villas had a hammock. We really enjoyed having our coffee out on the patio and I especially enjoyed relaxing in the hammock. In fact, I slept in the hammock one night. The location is fantastic – we could walk down to the Mango Deck to party during the day and at night we could walk to town. The resort is small so it only takes a minute to walk from most villas to the beach (or fitness center, pools, restaurant, etc.).

But…there are HUGE gaps around and under the doors and a somewhat open air shower allowed all kinds of creatures in – we had a gecko in our bedroom one day. We named him Dino. And we absolutely HAD to sleep under the mosquito net each night. One night we returned from town and the housekeeper had tied our mosquito net back from the bed. Well when we finally went to bed we noticed a mosquito UNDER the net hovering directly above us!

The BIG problem was in the semi open-air bathroom – that’s where all the buggers congregated and made their attack plan. We guess we received most of our bites in the bathroom.

But we did see them spraying the grounds so management is trying doing something.

If you do rent a car, they have a security monitored lot w/ free parking.

There is a very small fitness center with only a few pieces of cardio equipment but I was able to get in a decent workout. Free weights, machines, mats, balls etc.

We also had massages one day and the spa is housed in a converted villa so don't expect anything fancy. The masseuse was fantastic.

As much as we loved the resort grounds, villa, beach, restaurant, and location, this was most likely our first and last stay at Cascadas.
