We just returned (3/12-3/17) from VLE. My husband, two children (5 and 6), and I were in a 2bd/3bth villa.
ROOMS/LOCATION: The villa was very nice and large with a huge balcony- Great for enjoying the views and a glass of wine at the end of the day. The full kitchen was especially helpful with the kids. Other reviews mentioned hard beds which I thought to be comfortable. My husband did think it was hard. The location of the property is perfect. A nice walk to the party side of the beach for action and just far enough away to relax. VDP has a ton of action too.
CLEANING: We booked through the owner via a third party. Know you only get maid service every other day. Another family traveling with us only got one day of maid service. You will pay $33us to get someone to clean your room. And yes, we tip our maids at every hotel. Plan ahead.
FOOD AND SERVICE: We ate the buffet both at VLE and at Villa Del Palmar, ordered room service (took almost two hours) and ordered pool side almost everyday. I would say that the service was very slow at VLE and better at VDP. Definitely go down the beach towards town for a better meal, price and service. They really took care of us (15 in our group total) at the Office and the Sand Bar. We also had dinner at Desperado in town, which was good. The market at the resort has a decent selection and prices.
FUN: You can find just about every thing you want to do right on the beach. We jet skiied, banana boated (they take you to the arch where the seals are which is cool), got hair braided, tattooed the kids (henna), bought jewelry, etc. etc. The vendors get a little more aggressive down the beach because at the resort you are roped off and they are not allowed to enter. Also swimming is better towards town as well. It gets a little rough in front of the resort.
We travel to Mexico approx. 4 times per year. I rarely complain but when you are being charged 5 star prices you expect service somewhere close to it. I don't like doing my own dishes and I do expect fresh towels. All in all it was a fun vacation. Remember you are in Mexico; not the US- and enjoy the culture.

Stayed February 10 - 19, 2005 in a 2 bedroom, 2 bath, room 1704. Great views, spacious, but needs repairs. Maintenance wanted to come while we were there, but we didn't travel all the way to Cabo to deal with that. Resort very quiet, so with two kids, we went next door to the Villa del Palmar every day. Lots going on - bingo, volleyball, waterslide, cooking classes, bartending classes, etc.
Housekeeping often came after 5:00, which was inconvenient. Mostly, we asked them to come the next morning, which usually worked.

I just returned from an absolutely wonderful stay at Estancia in Cabo San Lucas. I would return without hesitation. A group of four of us rented out a full condo (Master bedroom suite plus guest room with queen beds) and couldn't be happier with the quality of both the room and the resort.

We particularly enjoyed the calm and relaxation of Estancia. Despite the fact that we went to Cabo at the start of Spring Break, we felt we were at our own secluded, private resort. When we wanted to find the party, we simply walked up Mendano Beach or went into town. Although we found the food to be pricey, we enjoyed the fact that we could also eat at Villa del Palmar (next door) for significanlty cheaper. We also liked using the services at Palmar, including the grocery store, the deli, the tennis courts, and excursion planning. We also found the staff to be very helpful and friendly.

The best part about Estancia is the atmosphere, the fact that it is just off the beach, and its proximity to downtown Cabo. I'd highly recommend this resort to anyone who is looking for a little pampering on their next Cabo vacation!

We were there the week of Feb. 28-March 5th. Had a two-bedroom, 3 bath for 5 adults and 2 kids. Pretty much liked everything about it. weather wasn't fabulous, but the place is gorgeous and spacious. Pools are great for kids and adults you can easily go next door to the Villas Del Palmar for the real kiddie pool and the water slide.
Very quiet place, lovely grounds, nice beach, beautiful views...washing machine was a real plus with kids. If you want a quiet, relaxing, beautiful place stay here...you can always go next door for the music, outdoor pizza cafe and bingo.

Surprised to find the rooms as large and nice as the internet pictures. Very comfortable and clean. A little short staffed for this visit Feb 24 - Feb 27 2005. Waited 1 hour for a cheese burger Saturday and the maid didn't come until 5:15 PM. Small complaints. Definitely would go back.
