"I don’t know we went during down season after the hurricane and had some of the best survey actually one of our best meals right there at the hotel. Laid-back experience I would plan to know what you’re doing doing during the heat of the day. The yards are intolerable to stay inside of, but why I guess would you when you have the beach right there we spent most of our day on the beach, no complaints."

"Great property next to the Sea of Cortez, 3 minute walk to the boat launch area when fishing. Brought our catch back to have on scene restaurant cook for our dinner, outstanding! More of a true hotel feel vs. condo which is next door to this property. Wished they had ice makers on property that we could use when mixing a cocktail in our rooms. Overall very nice place to stay for a fishing weekend or true vacation."

"What an oasis away from home, even better than the pictures! What a spacious, incredible home to host our extended family of 15 including 5 kids ages 5-10. The pool and cabana were such a hit as was the beach/ocean and the kayaks and paddleboards. The help was incredible, with scheduling a finishing trip super easy as was having him come back that evening and cook the fish for us. Daily cleaning was a welcomed bonus treat! We primarily stay at the compound, including scheduling massages through the host. We did not try any of the restaurants but saw them on a run and looked inviting/delicious! Highly recommend both the home and the host, they prioritized asking for preferences/details in advance like having air mattresses set up for the kids and massages/food catering scheduling/fishing trips/etc. What a luxurious trip for our parent's 50th anniversary that was pretty much perfect...you won't regret it and an easy 1.5 hr drive from Cabo San Lucas airport (note: cell service is spotty near the town so download maps/directions in advance, but wifi worked great at the home)"

10/10 Excellent
"Place was as described. Clean and spacious with enough room for the four of us. Had a mixed group so the rooms and beds worked out great with each room having a bathroom. Beds were comfortable and the kitchen was stocked with all we could need. Only thing missing was dishwashing soap for handwashing and laundry detergent. You may want to bring soap and shampoo for bathing as the stuff provided was not the best. It was hot as blazes in LB and the AC worked great. There is a closet outside the front door with toms of stuff for the beach, golf, pickleball and other stuff to enjoy. We did not use it but appreciated that it was available. The grounds are well kept and the beach access can’t be beat. Two nice pools that were very clean though the water this time of year is pretty warm. The only downside is that the hotel on the same grounds that has bars and restaurants closed for the season the day after we got there. We were looking forward to using the hotel’s bars and restaurants. Wish we would have been told that in advance. It worked out but would have been nice to have known. Restaurants in town are an easy walk as is the small grocery store. Anything we did not pick up in Cabo we could easily get there. Especially beer. We met the care taker and he was great and offered us help next time booking fishing trips as our boat we booked was not the best. If coming down in mid to late august be aware a lot of the town shuts down tween seasons. Would stay again."

Secluded Beach Front Estate with a Large Pool, Family and Pet Friendly!

10/10 Excellent
"We loved Los Arcos! We were a group of 13 (9 adults and 4 kids.) there was ample space and comfortable beds for all. Our group definitely agreed that the amazing complete wrap around tiled deck, and the pool were our favorite features. It is an understatement to say there is plenty of outdoor living space. The views from the deck, or the multiple landscaped levels down to the ocean were breathtaking. The pool was a great size and such a fun addition for our group. We utilized the palapa to play card games, hang out, and as a place to check out all the cool beach finds everyone was finding. If you like collecting shells, sea glass, and other sea treasures this is the place! The beach right out front was great, but our favorite was the 20ish minute walk or 5 min drive to the beach in front of Punta Peacadora. The snorkeling there was superb. So many fish and the visibility was great! The kitchen was large and had everything we needed to be able to cook at the house, which we did 75% of the time. The house manager, Rollo, was very attentive in making sure we had plenty of water, arranged for some extras we paid for including 2 massage therapists to come to the house, and arranged a fishing boat to pick up some of our group right out front. Our group caught two 30 lb dorado and the boat captain even filleted and bagged it all up for us. Spencer and Rollo put us in touch with someone who dropped off 2 UTVs. All in all this was a magical place and we would definitely visit again"
