This is our place to stay during Spring Break. We have stayed in the place in 2012 and 2013 and loved it. The place is exclusive, the personnel is very friendly. The only recommendation is that you check the availablity of wireless access if you need it. Some apartments have their own wireless access, but the common access is only from the lobby and pool area. If you can live without wireless access, that is fine, but my kids and myself spent lots of time in the lobby due to this. My vacation is not work, but I need to be able to read newspapers online and if I do not have access to that, it is not good enough for me. As said, this might not apply to all. We will be returning to this place, no question about it. The hotel is very close to downtown, but you really have to use a taxi and it is around $10 US one way, which is not bad at all. The taxi service works perfectly.

My wife, myself, and our son went down for Thanksgiving weekend. My wife travels a lot and said this was her favorite place to stay from England to Australia! We went with an ocean view room and the all-inclusive package. View was fantastic and the food was exceptional. Loved the ability to use the other hotels restaurants. Service was impeccable from the maid service to the front desk and restaurants. Our favorite restaurant was right at Villa La Estancia for dinner. The guys were so nice, even setting up a place for our son to sleep after he passed out from too much swimming in the pool before dinner. We are saving our money now and already are planning to go back this fall.

This was our familys second springbreak in Villa La estancia. There is something magical about this place, as soon as you arrive to your villa it just feels home. The personel is superfriendly, they remember your name and make you feel like part of the family. If you need to know all the nice local restaurants, they will happily give you information about their own experiences and have never been wrong. The layout of the hotel is fantastic, you are never far from the pools or beach and the sunsets are beautiful if you sit in one of the hottubs by the pool. The Villas itself are spacious and beautiful, not to mention the huge balcony they all have. I think Villa Estancia is best either for adults or families with teenage or older children. i am originally fron Europe even though i live now in States and have travelled heavily around the world and i can say there are not that many places in this world where you need to return every year, for me though Villa La Estancia is that place.

Apologies for the lateness of this review. We (wife, three boys [17, 14, and 11], and my Mom [75 and mobility impaired (wheelchair)] went back to Villa La Estancia for Thanksgiving 2012, having been there for the first time for Thanksgiving in 2011. We again booked the condo (3101) through Malcolm and Vicki at La Estancia Vacations, and they were once again on top of everything and helpful in every way. So easy, honest, and willing to do everything necessary to make sure the vacation was successful. I would not hesitate to recommend them if you are looking for a condo at La Estancia.

My earlier review of this property pretty much is still applicable. There were some changes that I will note, but the overall experience was the same. Relaxing, relaxing, relaxing. I again cannot say enough about the amazing location of Villa 3101. If you are looking for an ocean front three bedroom condo on the ground floor only steps from the pool and the beach, this is it. Be aware that the ocean front condos are not cheap (I could not afford it without my Mom, God bless her), but if your pocketbook can handle it, try it out.

Some of the minor wear and tear issues from 2011 were fixed (Thank you!), but the Villa is still showing some age and wear and tear that the owners should think about working on - again at the price paid, near perfection should be the goal. But I get it - you are paying for the size, location and view - so the still minor issues are merely fleeting thoughts. Once you look out at the ocean, Lands End, the landscaping, the pool, those minor issues disappear.

The service was great. All staff, from house keeping to the wait staff to front desk were friendly and helpful. Some of the restaurants had changed from the prior year, but all food everywhere we ate at the resort (and at the neighboring Arco and Palmar) was very good in my opinion, though I will admit I am not a very picky eater and my view may be skewed by the fact that I was not paying for any of it, so you may want to weigh the reviews of others more heavily on the food side.

As compared to the year prior, there seemed to be a lot more families and more people generally, maybe due to the better economy. Despite the increase, the resort remained relaxing and quiet and remarkably, all children were well behaved. Due I believe to the wet weather Cabo had in the prior months, we noticed quite a few more bugs than last year, including huge bird-size moths (slight exaggeration, but they were big) that loved to hang out in and around the condo.

If a quiet, relaxing, upscale condo experience is what you are looking for, Villa La Estancia is an excellent choice, and I think most of the other recent reviews reflect that.
















The hotel staff was very friendly.
