The service was exceptional.

They really made my weekend one to remember. My concierge Angel was a huge help - he was available 24/7 and fulfilled my requests in a timely manner. Highly recommend!

Our stay at Villa Descanso was phenomenal!

Before we arrived, Alexandria made sure everything was in order to make our stay memorable! Our concierge, Angel C., took great care of us and made sure we had everything we needed. Jonathan, our chef, prepared delicious meals for us. Sylvia and the housekeeping staff made sure our rooms and bathrooms were cleaned daily. Overall, we had an amazing time in Cabo and look forward to coming back again!

Celebrated my bachelor party at Villa Descanso and had a great experience.

The stay at Villa Descanso with my family and I was fantastic.

Both Jonathan and the ladies who clean our rooms provided excellent service during our stay at Descanso. In fact, this was our second time staying at Villa Descanso my wife and I. Although the groups were very different, the service and experience were the same. Our second time working with Luis and he has always been extremely helpful and provided superior service. I also want to extend kudos to Kimberly and Sarah who also provided excellent service for me, as I was planning this trip for my wife. The Isle Blue and Cabo Villa service teams were outstanding. From the first email to the last day. I would definitely recommend Descanso Villa’s service staff to friends and family, and I would definitely return. The only negative thing I can mention was the Internet kept dropping and the oven was not working properly. Trying to connect to the internet was annoying. It would be very helpful for future guests if you upgraded the Wi-Fi in the house. The overall stay experience in Cabo was great.

I do not have the time and space to write the novel to which this vacation deserves.

The villa, the excursions, and food were all amazing. The house staff, Jonathan and Giovanni, went far and beyond our requests and needs. The villa was perfect for a group of 10 women. The spa day in the villa was refreshing to say the least. I’ll recommend Cabo villas to any and everyone that plan to visit the area. The customer service was worth every penny and more.

I wanted to have a group of guy friends stay together for my bachelor party or 16 people.

Originally scheduled for March 2020, but we ended postponing the trip. The management company was understanding of our situation and let us keep the credit to apply for the future trip. I was very appreciative of that. This villa was perfect. Had everything we wanted. Close to town. 24/7 concierge service that was able to call us shuttle whenever we needed a ride to town and back.

A group of moms traveled to Villa Descanso and we all agree it was a surreal experience!

The villa was amazing. Jonathan and the house staff were so helpful and accommodating (and such good cooks - have them make you breakfast!). The pictures are great but don't even do the villa justice! And the planning process couldn't have been easier. Alex with Cabovillas was so responsive and so patient with our questions (there were a lot!). She made the planning (on the heels of Covid) as stress free as possible and we couldn't be more grateful for that! We'll definitely be returning to Villa Descanso and planning through Alex!

We had an amazing time staying at Villa Descansa to celebrate my husband’s 50th birthday.

Kimberly was very helpful in helping me plan the trip, set up COVID tests to return, scheduling airport transfers and connecting me to the amazing event planner, Suzanne Morel. Luis was our rockstar concierge who among other things, saved the day scheduling a last minute boat tour. Jonathan and all of the house staff were the best! The meals prepared by the house staff were amazing. We will be back!!!

This villa is gorgeous.

.. stunning ocean view with all the amenities you could hope for, then some. Worked perfect for our large group of friends coming together to celebrate a birthday. Jonathan Valdivia Arizmendi was truly our real-life easy button! He looked after our every request, prepared amazing drinks, meals and oversaw all the kitchen planning and work. From grocery runs to exquisite meals and clean-up, he helped make our stay memorable and enjoyable. His working knowledge of English helped but most important he's just a good dude that takes pride in serving customers - and it shows. Gracias por una gran semana!

Amazing Villa, exactly as advertised.

Lola was a great host, and the onsite staff was very helpful as well. Great views of the coastline and ocean. The infinity pool is fantastic after a long hot day, or night out. The locals call this the "Beverly Hills of Cabo", and I think that is accurate. Pretty swanky neighborhood. We had a large group and everyone had plenty of space in the villa. The security is tight, and we did have some issues with getting Uber and other third party drivers through the front gate, but that probably had more to do with language barrier. Overall this was a fantastic space, and I would definitely stay here again. Thanks Lola!

A group of 16 of us rented a Villa from Cabo Villas.

The whole process was seemless and very pleasant. Amber, Julie and Frank were all a pleasure to work with. They helped us find the perfect house for a group that was there for a wedding. They gave us restaurant recommendations and also gave us info for local chefs. Overall it was a wonderful experiance and we will definitely use them again next time we're in Cabo.

"NOT FOR FAMILIES WITH SMALL CHILDREN !!"

tripadvisor review
Star Rating
We just returned from a week's vacation at Villa Descanso.

Granted Pedregal and the Villa are both gorgeous, but I am the mother of a 3 year old and was constantly ill at ease due to the safety concerns. The villa has a steep winding marble staircase from the top floor down to the bottom that gets very slippery and was even difficult and unsafe for my parents in their 80's. On our first day my son had a scary fall down the steepest part of the staircase, tumbling down nearly six steps. Thankfully he was okay and is fairly athletic, though we shudder to think what could have happened. He also slipped two times near the pool which is also very slippery when wet and my mother as well. We had to place towels all around to lower the risk of injury. There are no baths in the villa, only showers, so I had no place to bathe my toddler and 10 month old baby during our stay. Perhaps this is minor, but I think it should be noted for families looking for a villa. There were other issues that made our stay not as relaxing as we would have liked - the constant jackhammering from the construction right next door. Granted the owners make a disclaimer about possible construction, but it was so grating to hear a jackhammer from 9 - 5 everyday and nobody in our party could enjoy a siesta or a nap by the pool during those hours. Fortunado, his wife and Sylvia were amazing and the food was fantastic. The management - primarily Janna from Earth, Sand and Sky were less than on point with regards to our requests and never returned communication in a timely matter. Only after several requests were things accomplished and even after we arrived, we were left high and dry. We had requested a meal on our first night and even created a grocery list at Janna's request, only to learn we had done all that in vain. Hungry from our long travels, the staff were not made aware that they were to cook for us that evening. There seems to be a tremendous lack of communication between the management of the villa and the staff, but thankfully my sis

Hello and thank you for your feedback. At Earth, Sea & Sky Vacations we take these types of concerns very seriously. We regret that our customer did not give us the opportunity to resolve the issues while in travel. We were never notified of the issues. We are very sorry that the floors, staircase and areas around the pool were slippery when wet. We advertise that the house has Travertine marble flooring throughout. This definitely should have been taken into consideration before booking, with small children worries of this particular client. We have had many families with small children have a wonderful stay at Villa Descanso and this is the first complaint of this nature we have received. Had we been notified of the issue with this particular family, we would have gotten creative with floor mats and such to resolve it during their stay. We always recommend people of all ages to be extra careful in homes built with this type of flooring; make sure you dry off completely before entering the house and supervising small children. There is also a villa info booklet made available for guests; one section states that the floors can become slippery when wet and to wipe up wet spots to reduce dangers of falling. Construction noise is only a temporary inconvenience of which we can never know when construction will begin in a residential community. Unfortunately, we were not aware that a new construction project began the week of this guest’s arrival. Had we been informed by the guests of this inconvenience we certainly would have offered to move the customer to another villa away from the construction (and assisted in moving them). We know how irritating nearby construction can be and how quickly it can ruin an otherwise wonderful vacation so we try to resolve the issue immediately, if we are made aware. The comment about the TVs is correct. The villa's satellite service from the US which provided service to many homes in the Los Cabos area went out of business at the end of February affecting many properties throughout Cabo. The situation has since been resolved and the TVs are now in working order. Again, had we been aware that this was a problem during our client’s stay; we would have worked to remedy the situation. We are very sorry that this guest was unhappy with our agent's communication; we were the middle man awaiting responses from a vendor that we don’t contract with for cooking services. We strive to provide the best service possible and do have catering companies that we contract with to ensure that service level is met. We have a grocery list that we offer to our clients and a process in place to ensure pre-ordered groceries are delivered and stocked in the houses. Unfortunately, this customer’s requests were outside of our normal process and very last minute. There was a human error made in arranging the request and it was overlooked. We did our best to resolve it as quickly as possible and make it up to our mutual customer. One of the highlights of this great house is that the staff is available for services and they do an excellent job. We are available to our customer’s by phone 24/7 for any customer service needs, as indicated on all documentation given to all of our clients. If used, we can solve just about any issue that arises.

I just returned from an amazing vacation in Cabo at Villa Descanco, and if it weren't for the need to get back to the daily grind of work, kids, etc.

, I would hop back on a plane and fly back to Cabo and Villa Descanso in a heartbeat! This place is AMAZING!!!! We traveled with 8 other couples for an extended 40th birthday celebration for several folks in our group, and Villa Descanso was the perfect place for us all to relax, unwind, feast, drink, dance, and simply enjoy a few days and nights in paradise. From the moment we arrived, the owners were so accommodating in getting us in touch with transportation from the airport directly to the Villa (it's about a 45 minute drive from the airport to Pedregal in Los Cabos). Our driver was kind enough to stop at a market so we could purchase some snacks and drinks for our ride. Once we arrive at the villa, Fortunado, the care-taker, greeted us warmly with some ice cold drinks! The rooms are very spacious and you really can't go wrong in any of the rooms. We arrived a day after the majority of our group so weren't there for the initial room selection, but the room we were given was HUGE! We had Suite #9 - king bed, own bathroom, and two twin beds presumably for any kids or other folks to use. The only challenge with this room in particular is that it doesn't receive much natural light because of it's location in the villa. It does have an additional outside entrance that leads to a walkway to an outdoor patio, but you don't really get any natural light in the room itself. The room does have lots of light fixtures and two ceiling fans which more than accommodate for providing enough light. The kitchen was HUGE, there are tons of flat screen TVs throughout the entire house, a pool table, HUGE dining table (we actually sat 16 people comfortably at this table for breakfast and dinner). The outdoor area has a HUGE grill and firepit, and a great pool and spa for hours of enjoyment and we certainly took advantage of everything! Biggest benefit of this fabulous rental has to be having Futunado there to assist with anything and everything. He and his lovely wif

While the villa was very nice, what made the experience exceptional was the service that was provided us.

"Perfect for a Family Reunion"

We had a wonderful stay at the Villa Descanso in Cabo San Lucas.

The house was beautiful and fully accommodated our large group. The bedrooms are their own private sanctuaries, all with their own bathrooms, TV/Sterio/IPOD players. The common area is enormous and conducive to group eating and gatherings. We particularly loved the outdoor deck and pool area. Some of our group arrived later in the evening, and had a difficult time finding the Villa in the dark. I would suggest more specific directions from ESSV or the owner for those who are arriving on their own. The roads in Pedregal are bumpy and steep with hairpin turns. The Villa is not well marked from the road and difficult to see at night. Those of us who were lucky to arrive by ESSV van, were greated at the Villa by an ESSV representative as well as the caretaker, Fortunado. We were given a formal tour and tried very hard retain all of the electronic instructions, etc. We were relieved that the owner also provides a detailed instruction booklet! We had a few difficulties with the Satelite TV and the fire-pit, which were remedied promptly. The house was very clean and in perfect condition. The floors are all beautiful natural stone. The furniture is very sturdy and beds and sofas were built in. We were pampered by daily cleaning visits from Fortunado and his wife Lulu. The kitchen was fully equipped. We did have to ask for paper towels and napkins, which were promptly provided. The house is designed with 3 main levels requiring considerable stair climbing to the bedrooms and main level. I would imagine this is an issue with many of the homes in Pedregal, since it is built on the side of a mountain! We took advantage of the 2 community tennis courts and our favorite beach for walking was the one right in Pedregal. We recommend a car and made good use of our vehicles to travel into town for food and shopping and to explore other beaches for wonderful snorkeling (Chileno Bay is the best!).

Perfect house for entertaining with the pool, hot tub, pool table, integrated sound system, etc, etc. I highly recommend this house for both a group of couples or single guys/girls. Little bit of a journey (10 minutes up/down a steep cobblestone road) into town but it was always easy to get a taxi promptly.
