Guest Reviews for Villa Bahia de los Frailes

Our family of 11 stayed at this stunning property which was a little hard to get to but worth it for the solitude and breathtaking views. Julie and her team were able to tailor our requests for trips—which initially were a problem due to the young grandchildren in our party—and made them possible. She also introduced us to our marine expert Oscar who was exceptional and his enthusiasm, flexibility and knowledge were outstanding. The close encounters with grey whales rank in our top 3 lifetime wildlife experiences.

Property Location
About the Area: San José del Cabo
San José del Cabo is considered the “quiet side” of Los Cabos, in comparison to its dynamic neighbor, Cabo San Lucas. San José has an appealing downtown area, displaying the charms of its 18th-century colonial architecture and warm, old-fashioned hospitality. There are many arts and crafts shops purveying local wares, and a lovely church in the main plaza, some of which dates back to the Jesuit founding of the mission of San José del Cabo in 1730.
