Viva Vacation

We stayed a month and knew within a week that we would book again for next year. Our favourite activities were walking the beach both ways, visiting Palmilla beach, shopping downtown, hanging out at the Marina watching the fishing boats come in, fishing for delicious tuna and trying many restaurants. I learned to play Pickleball and loved getting to know all the lovely owners and renters. Mucho Gracias!

Steps to the beach, stunning view!

We loved everything about Carly's condo. Because the view is so impressive looking directly out to the beach and the sea we didn't feel the need to rush off to the beach right away. Enjoying breakfast on the patio you felt like you were directly on the beach. Inside is well equipped + very clean. Carly had everything taken care of you could think of right down to a six pack of cold Cerveza! Loved it so much we booked for next year while we were there. Can't go wrong staying at Viva, best location in Los Cabos!

Viva units are perfect for couples wanting beachfront access, a pool and the bonus of a pickleball/tennis court. The BBQ area is where everyone gathers for happy hour fun.

Beautiful property

Carly’s unit has a lovely view of the ocean. It is located in a beachfront complex which is tastefully landscaped with a heated pool, pickleball court, barbecue area and abundant outdoor shaded seating . Our stay was made more enjoyable by being around many of the senior owners/renters who spend their winters here. They were welcoming, inclusive and the camaraderie made for a unique experience. We will definitely return for a longer stay. The complex is a stone’s throw from two big grocery stores making it ideal for longer stays. Hands down the best accommodation in Zona Hotelera. Thank you Carly and the wonderful folks at Viva for making our holiday memorable 🙏

Lovely First Time at San Jose del Cabo!

We had so much fun staying at Viva complex. Great location, close to groceries and restaurants and only 20 minute walks into town and surf beaches. The only thing that we were disapointed about was the continuous weekday construction directly next to the condos which was not mentioned in the description. There was quite a bit of loud noise throughout the days which disrupted what we had hoped to be a quiet stay at the condos. However, there was plenty to do nearby and we found our bliss at Santa Maria Bay (where we went multiple times to snorkel with beautifully coloured fish!).
