If you go to Cabo and want a peaceful stay with a most accommodating staff, this is the place. Erick, the afternoon/evening manager, goes out of his way to be helpful. He greeted us with hugs welcoming us to Mexico, and he was always available and accommodating for special requests. We were also upgraded to a king suite for my 40th birthday. He and the rest of the staff did everything in their power to make my 40th simply amazing.
The hotel is smaller, only 16 suites. We got to know our other travelers at breakfast and at the pool. Breakfast was gourmet, with fresh fruit, juice, and coffee to start. We had Bungalows Benedict, which had Mexican flair; the mushroom omelet was also distinctively Mexican. It was nice to mix it up with french toast and waffles, too.
The pool was warm, and it was amazing to float on my back and gaze up at the palms and tropical foliage swaying in the warm breeze. The grounds are intimate and well manicured. Fountains bring a sense of peace and the palms and banana trees add lushness, creating a feeling of an oasis in the Mexican desert.
During our stay, it was quiet, which was most welcome after being bombarded with downtown's cacophony and street peddlers and time share salesmen. Speaking of sales, none here. We were never once asked to buy something. Not once. That was also very refreshing and relaxing.
There's no cable TV, which might be a bummer for some, but I didn't go to Mexico to watch TV. There is, however, an extensive DVD collection with a lot of new titles.
What else can I say? This place is simply amazing and a huge bargain. There's a reason it's #2 on TripAdvisor, just behind the number one spot--an all-inclusive that costs from $700 to $2500 a night. At The Bungalows, people remember your name and treat you like family. That's priceless.
