Worst trip of my life...
Spring break at La Estancia was close to a" girls gone wild " video. The place is overrun with kids whose parents are OK with the drinking and nonsense on the strip. From check in to check out our experience was miserable.
I have stayed in Cabo three times at 5 star accomodations- One and Only Palmilla. The La Estancia website is deceiving. Yes, it looks like the photos, but the service is awful, the smell of sewer is everywhere, and the food is terrible. I rented our "villa"- run down condo- from Malcolm at La Estancia vacations on VRBO. Each unit is individually owned, so the quality varies. Ours was a mess. Sofa had torn cushions, towels were ragged, sheets were stained, matresses were hard, pillows old. Refrigerator water function was broken, no cereal bowls, the list goes on and on. I immediately contacted Malcolm who was sympathetic but offered no solution. After a month of back and forth upon our return, I was eventually credited 50% for my bad experience. Owner was non responsive to need for repair.
The location is fine if you are into the chaos of the strip and Medano Beach. Time share people heckel you and vendors harrass you all day. The pool is a zoo with not enough chairs for everyone. Lobby smells of strong room freshener and front desk help is no help at all... Check in was a nightmare. No system in place. Random distribution of keys to waiting guests. No lines or rhyme or reason for check in. Staff played the "no Comprende'" game when you had a problem. They understand English... Dont be fooled.
Overall, this was a nightmare vacation from start to finish. My recommendation is to stay out in the corridor and day trip into the strip if you are into tourist activities.
