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
Great but with some caveats.
It's really hard to give a rating for this one. The location and vibes were unmatched. My room had a balcony with a swinging couch facing the ocean with the sound of crashing waves. The food was fantastic and the staff attentive and polite. I probably would have stayed there longer if it wasn't for the loud music that seemed to play in the late afternoon from the ground level and then switch to the Rooftop at night. My room was close to the Rooftop, so the bass would penetrate down and rattle the room slightly until midnight (especially on Fridays). If you're here to drink and party at night. you'll have no problem here My stay looked like it was happening at the same time as several private events back to back (weddings). So the best advice I would probably give is you really wanted to stay here for a relaxing get away would be to maybe call and ask for some off dates where that would be unlikely to happen.

The Cape
One of our favorite places ever. Great food and drinks - an amazing view of the sea of cortez as well. Just an excellent spot with a great team. We went for our anniversary and were accommodated well beyond our expectations.

Love The Cape!
The Cape is an amazong hotel, providing top not service in a beautiful setting. Staff is very responsive and friendly, many taking the time to learn your name and preferences through your stay. Can't say enough about the service, food quality and overall atmosphere.

A MAGICAL PLACE TO STAY IN CABO
The Cape Hotel has been one of the most exhilarating experiences that we’ve ever experienced on vacation. We have been coming to Cabo for the last decade and stayed at many different resorts. The Cape is by far on top of the list. The views are absolutely breathtaking. The staff has been amazing and extremely accommodating. Food quality is top-notch. Most importantly, the security is on point, which is really important in the current state of the world. The room is so comfortable and set up to really adhere for a surreal experience. The only slight inconvenience is it’s not very close to the marina, but it’s a $10 Uber ride, which is not that painful. However, I will say they have really gone above and beyond unfortunately, I ended up getting a rash that I could not clear up and my wife ended up getting her ears clogged and the Concierge went above and beyond to get a doctor to come on site and help us fix both issues. We were about to go to the RED CROSS and that would’ve been a very terrible move and they stopped us from doing that and provided the on call Dr. they even had the medication delivered right to the room. Because of that experience, we were both able to heal and enjoy the rest of our vacation. To expand on the food, they even have a Michelin star restaurant right inside. I would highly recommend The Cape. It is a little bit more expensive side, but definitely worth every penny.

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.
