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.

Worst experience: unsafe, unhygienic, disrespectful
Worst experience I have ever had. Smoked cigarette butt and used tissue found on my balcony during my stay after housekeeping. How did they appear?? Did someone get to my room?? Talked to the supervisor- they said they could offer no remedy and said he could tell my manager if I want to “ask” for anything. As a Globalist it’s unbelievable to hear you need to “ask” for remedy when such unsafe and unhygienic thing happened. I never heard from any supervisor or hotel management since then. No action taken. Do not come to this place. You do not want to feel unsafe, unhygienic, and disrespected at the same time.

An expensive hotel with beautiful views.
This is a hotel with beautiful views in the rooms and on the beach. But there are limited spaces in the courtyard and swimming pool. The restaurants in the hotel are very expensive. Overall, I think the price for both hotel and restaurants is high.

The best view in Cabo
From the moment we arrived, the service was outstanding. Hannan greeted us, handled our bags, and immediately set the tone. He reminded me of a close friend back home in Salt Lake—one of those people you meet and instantly sense their sincerity. He was that genuine. Each morning, Cruz Lopez at the sunken bar welcomed me with a warm smile as I came down for coffee. A true gentleman, and exactly the kind of person who makes a resort feel special. I was fortunate to have one of the best-view rooms in Cabo on the west side of the building, overlooking the city and all the way to Land’s End. One entire wall of the room was floor-to-ceiling glass with a panoramic view. On the south side, a sliding glass door folded completely into the wall and opened to a huge private terrace with a bistro table, two large loungers, room for more seating, and our own plunge pool. It was truly spectacular.

Great experience at the Cape in Cabo.
The best resort I have stayed at and I've been to a lot! Incredible experience at the Cape! The facilities were amazing and of course, the views, access to the beach and pools are spectacular.

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.
