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.

I had such an AMAZING time at The Cape. Late April was such a good time to travel. Spring breakers had just left the week before so the area was a bit more “quiet” but still activity due to two weddings. The team manages SO WELL. I never once felt like I wasn’t being catered to despite the two major weddings. I went SOLO for my birthday and honestly, I never felt more in company. A huge shoutout to Milton and Daniella at the restaurant, Lenny and Hugo at the pool who moved mountains to keep me out the sun when I was poolside, Pedro who felt like a friend, addressing me by name at every turn and welcoming me into my wonderful suite, and finally Milton who made my birthday night feel special and sweet (he brought out their signature dessert). I was upgraded to the Residences and stayed in their one bedroom apartment. Gorgeous views and every necessary appliance you could need. Certainly too much for one girl but why would i EVER decline should a magical room. I was even gifted their tequila for my celebrations. I managed to bring it back home with me and am super excited to try. I WILL return and I will ALWAYS recommend staying here, even though I work for competition… The Cape (Thompson Hotels) has my heart completely. Thank you thank you thank you for making this special!!!

The room, location, pool and food at the Sunken Bar and the Ledge will bring me back over and over again. Truly a spectacular hotel in a gorgeous location. This is the place for a couples getaway. You truly do not have to leave the premises!

A Stunning, Serene, and Unforgettable Stay

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 days ago

My husband and I were immediately impressed by The Cape as soon as we arrived in the open-air lobby for check in. The ambiance of the hotel is incredible and immediately put us into vacation mode. Our room was amazing and we loved resting and watching the surfers and waves from our terrace swing. It was special to wake up every day and see the arch across the bay. The hotel has easy beachfront access and every room has an ocean view. There’s one main pool and then a smaller pool for groups hanging out on the side. The pool never was overcrowded and had great music throughout the day. The location of the hotel was perfect for us. It felt somewhat secluded. We were glad not to be near the row of all-inclusive resorts further down the road. It was easy to travel around and explore the entire region. We ate at The Ledge, Rooftop, poolside bar, and ordered in-room dining. All were good - breakfast at The Ledge was my favorite of the hotel’s options. The Rooftop to watch the sunset is also very special. Arrive early to get a front-row seat. The best food (IMO) was outside the hotel. But you have great options here if you don’t want to leave. If you are looking for an alternative to the all-inclusive Cabo resorts - book The Cape. I can’t imagine a better place to stay!

Loved it!

Location is great, the vibe is phenomenal. We had the panoramic corner room. The view is incredible. One of the coolest rooms we've stayed in b/c of the balcony overhang. The room itself is also beautiful in how it's laid out with the view. The bed is incredibly comfortable. The shower is great. I would just say the room overall feels a tad dated for a 5 star hotel and the price you pay. The curtains in our room were a bit broken but still worked. I know it's hard to keep things up with the ocean air though. The vibe at the hotel pool was fun - great music. There seem to be DJs or weddings though out the weekend. I never heard any music but my boyfriend did. So I think it will only bother at the level you are sensitive to sound/music. The view of this property vs say the Viceroy is MUCH better. If views of the mountains and best angles of the ocean are important to you pick this hotel or something near it vs Viceroy. I've stayed at both. Overall we'd stay here again!

A Truly Exceptional Stay

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 6 days ago

From the moment we arrived, it was clear this property operates on a different level. Room service was attentive without being intrusive—they checked in multiple times daily, always anticipating what we might need before we had to ask. The restaurants delivered the same level of care. Everyone made us feel genuinely welcome, two staff members truly elevated our experience. Milton at the Rooftop Bar was engaging and knowledgeable, with an impressive grasp of the property's offerings, more importantly, his drink recommendations were always spot on. Nettie from Manta made the tasting menu unforgettable, guiding us through each course while keeping the conversation flowing naturally. We can't wait to return.

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.
