Stopped enroute from Colorado to San Jose del Cabo looking to spend some time whale watching. Had a room on the water - excellent. Had a dinner, breakfast and lunch - all very well prepared. A must is the baked Chocolate clams - fantastic. The whale watching was very good. Knowledgeable and courteous captain (Henry). Overall a great stop! Will do it again with family members.

Probably the best in San Carlos but was not the most comfortable. They did give us a separate modem to make sure we had internet. if you want to see the grey whales you can touch, make sure you come in February. They weren’t there yet for us.

This was a very unique experience. Villas Mar y Arena is located on the beach of a beautiful bay in a small fishing community. Be prepared for a rustic experience, and make sure you know some basic Spanish to communicate with most of the staff. The owner, Fito, spoke English, but he couldn’t be everywhere, so it helps to communicate with people in their own language, even if it’s just a few words. We went whale watching, and it was amazing. We lost count of how many whales and dolphins we saw, and we were even “baptized” by the water out of a whale spout next to our boat. Amazing experience!!
