Stopped enroute from Colorado to San Jose del Cabo looking to spend some time whale watching. Had a room on the water - excellent. Had a dinner, breakfast and lunch - all very well prepared. A must is the baked Chocolate clams - fantastic. The whale watching was very good. Knowledgeable and courteous captain (Henry). Overall a great stop! Will do it again with family members.

Probably the best in San Carlos but was not the most comfortable. They did give us a separate modem to make sure we had internet. if you want to see the grey whales you can touch, make sure you come in February. They weren’t there yet for us.

Mauvaise expérience

Malheureusement notre Bungalow avec vue mer que nous avions réservé n’étais plus disponible au moment de notre arrivée. Compte tenu du mauvais état des autres chambres lus avons décide pour un autre hôtel. Le propriétaire étais d’accord de nous rembourser la nuitée mais Hôtel.com nous a jamais remboursé. Ce n’est pas le pire hôtel à Puerto San Carlos mais nous ne pouvons pas le recommander.

Es un sitio hermoso con una construcción que se adapta bien. Sin embargo, la situación de la propiedad en construcci{on hace que tengan materiales a la vista. El equipo de internet de la habitación no funcionaba al llegar, sin embargo Guadalupe nos resolvió el problema cambi{andolo por otro. La vista es privilegiada. Por el precio podr{ian hacer mucho mas en terminos de limpieza general y mantenimiento. El restaurante es muy bueno.

This was a very unique experience. Villas Mar y Arena is located on the beach of a beautiful bay in a small fishing community. Be prepared for a rustic experience, and make sure you know some basic Spanish to communicate with most of the staff. The owner, Fito, spoke English, but he couldn’t be everywhere, so it helps to communicate with people in their own language, even if it’s just a few words. We went whale watching, and it was amazing. We lost count of how many whales and dolphins we saw, and we were even “baptized” by the water out of a whale spout next to our boat. Amazing experience!!
