About the Hotel
The Cape, a Thompson Hotel, is redefining the coastline of Los Cabos. Open in June 2015, there’s no trace of the traditional Mexican beach resort. Sleek architectural lines eschew Spanish tile, and the rooftop bar channels New York City with a tropical vibe. The hotel is still distinctly Mexico – ceramicist José Noé Suro contributed contemporary art pieces, and hand-painted tile appears throughout the property. Arrive to a room dressed in bespoke Latin American furniture and accessorized with special touches – there’s a tequila welcome gift and a set of binoculars for spying on whales, which frequent the waters surrounding the Baja Peninsula.

Reviews for The Cape, a Thompson Hotel
Awesome location and very well staffed and appointed hotel
Great stay after Christmas. Amazing service and wonderful time despite property being completely full. We had to scramble a bit in the morning to get chaise by the pool, but the attendants onsite did a great job of keeping things civil and ensuring guests didn’t put down belongings then disappear for hours on end. The food onsite was excellent and it was super easy to get to amazing offsite options as well. The rooms are super comfortable with amazing views. Amex hotel collection perks are a great benefit. Definitely would come back if staying in the area again!

US Resort with Local Flavor
Beautiful property with an exclusive, private beach, great views, good service and delicious food. So long as you're looking to pay US resort prices, this hotel is a great option. We booked through Chase Travel's new The Edit hotels, which came with breakfast included for two. They upgraded us when we checked in so that all four of us could get breakfast for free every morning, which was nice of them. We ate/drank at all of the restaurants on property and only had good experiences.

Heavenly experience guaranteed
Fantastic view, fantastic rooms with beautiful furniture and huge amount of space, fantastically courteous staff. Manta is a great restaurant - we ordered six appetizers and two main course and all were fantastic. One hears the ocean waves so clearly and can see whales early in the morning, before it gets busy with boats and water activities. The Arch is right in front of you, as you sit on the balcony or livingroom or bedroom.

The GBU
GOOD: views, location, Manta, service, modern architecture BAD: sparse rooms with limited facilities, cramped, under-sized pool area UGLY: needs maintenance- cracked masonry, chipped furniture and scuffed paintwork in rooms This is not the standard of a 5 star resort but a solid 4 star hotel. Good, not great

Best Birthday
Always a great experience here for my birthday each year. The Cape never misses a beat with style and welcoming me. It’s my happy place and adds to the better side of Cabo in my opinion. When we arrived there was a special food tasting going on and it was fantastic! They updated their menu and I thought that was a clever idea to get the guests involved. On top of that it was Sunday and as an American they had all of the American football games going so I didn’t get to miss my ravens! It was like an extra special treat. I would like to give a special shoutout to Lenny who took care of me in the most special ways although he didn’t have to! He leads the pool area and didn’t have to go as beyond as he did. It was my birthday and he made it even more special especially after the year I had. What a cool guy. Extra shoutout to Hugo, who looked out for us when Lenny wasn’t available, as well as Jose & Fernanda. It’s always so nice to see them again, which I hope means the Cape is treating them right and compensating them fairly. Keep good workers when you can! It makes me want to come back again. Everyone is so friendly; it’s not an act. See you again next year!

We loved our stay. The hotel is beautiful. Highlights include location, natural beauty, amazing balconies, and layout, staff was hard-working, attentive, friendly, and accommodating.
The rooftop is spectacular. The sunsets and views were incredible. Food and drinks were overpriced but good. The beach was not swimmable which is a negative, but clean, private and gorgeous. Fun to watch surfers. They could use some board games, deck of cards, or even a fancy chess board to add to the super fun pool table. Well-positioned elevators, etc. Really well-designed hotel. They've thought of everything. Beautiful gardens and natural surroundings are immaculately kept. Other guests were respectful, pleasant, polite and friendly.
While the concierge is in contact by text and email, they were not entirely helpful. They were unable to help us with dinner reservations. We ended up doing it all ourselves with ease. It seemed as if they were trying to keep us at the hotel for all meals. We were there for a week and had rented a car. Our plan was to explore and eat elsewhere for a few meals. However, I did not sit down and speak with the concierge face to face, so perhaps this would have made a difference.
We were at the hotel on New Year's Eve and they had a rooftop party. Our room was on the 3rd floor but still impacted by the sound and vibration of the base and music. I spoke with the manager and they satisfactorily resolved it. The New Year's eve rooftop party would have been incredible, so my feedback would be to let guests know about the potential for noise before they book - much like what a hotel would do if there was construction. They also brought earplugs to my room immediately after my call to the front desk and they helped immensely.
One other thing that I couldn't understand - no tea or coffee in the rooms! This would have made a huge difference to me.
Our experience with Luxury Link was a 10/10.
