This past week my boyfriend and I stayed at the beautiful The Cape, A Thompson Hotel in Cabo San Lucas. I had seen a lot pictures of the hotel and had heard great things about it, but in person, it was incredible. From the moment we arrived until the moment we left, it was nothing but amazing!
The staff is all incredible and so welcoming, and the actual grounds itself are gorgeous. My boyfriend became best friends with all the staff members by the end of the trip because they are all so nice and entertaining (shoutout to Sebastion!). The lobby/front desk area is all outdoors overlooking the ocean and infinity pool, which is so cool. The decor is super contemporary and unique, which I loved. The hotel is just over a year old, but it still feels brand new, and they make you feel as if you are the only people staying at the hotel. The hotel is secluded, but in a good way to where you feel like you have your own private beach and is not overcrowded like some of the other big hotels in the area.
The concierge service was super helpful in recommending authentic and healthy restaurant options to us, as well as fun activities to do outside of the hotel. We had a great experience at every restaurant they recommended, and never ate a bad meal. They also scheduled and arranged our ATV ride/horseback activity, so we didn’t have to worry about it at all. It was so nice to just be able to tell them what we were interested in doing, and then have them do all of the work for us!
On the main lobby floor, they have an outdoor bar that has really modern seating and a band that plays in the evenings. They also have a gorgeous rooftop bar that has tons of couches and overlooks the ocean and city.
They have two restaurants, The Ledge and Manta. The Ledge had outdoor and indoor seating, both of which are gorgeous. We loved sitting outside for breakfast overlooking the gorgeous ocean and mountains. For breakfast, they had an incredible buffet filled with hot and cold dishes such as fresh fruit (the watermelon and papaya were incredible), granola, fresh juices, pastries, and roasted veggies. They also had some Mexican dishes like enchiladas and Juevos Rancheros.
Manta is the other restaurant they have on the property, and it is a Mexican and Japanese fusion. Although we didn’t have a chance to eat there, we heard great things about it!One of our favorite parts of the hotel was the infinity pool. From the pool, you could see the ocean, which had and incredible view of the waves and surfers to watch, as well as the city, mountains, and famous “Arch” in the distance. The main pool also had a really cool bar with seats inside the actual pool to enjoy your drinks. They had a ton of cabanas with really comfy chairs that were complementary, as well as lounge chairs, some even in the actual pool! The hotel also has another smaller pool that is filled with salt water.
Now, for the room! This was probably one of my favorite parts about the hotel. I never thought I would say that because I typically spend the least amount of time in the actual room, but this room was incredible and very well thought out. They use a key scanner to open the room door, so you don’t have to physically insert the key in the door, and they have USB ports all around the room to charge your devices. The bathroom was spacious and had a gorgeous all-glass rain shower, which is definitely more for couples, haha. Having the open shower and separate bathtub made the room feel twice as big, and opened up the space a lot. The room had gorgeous artwork, beautiful floor tile, and a really modern and comfortable bed. The balcony was amazing because it had a rocking couch that was hanging from the ceiling that was great for reading or just hanging out. We relaxed out there one evening and just listened to the waves and watched the stars (total cheeseball;)) The hotel had a great gym that was usually empty and had a variety of equipment like cable machines, TRX, and cardio equipment. They offered complimentary spa water, healthy snacks, and towels as well. The hotel is about 40 minutes from the airport, but you get to see all of the city on the drive up there. It is about 15-20 minutes from the downtown/city area where there is a ton of little shops and cute restaurants and bars.We didn’t want the trip to end, and we couldn’t have had a better experience. We will definitely be back soon!
PS- shoutout to my incredible boyfriend who took all of my outfit pictures, and did an amazing job! l can be extremely picky, and he nailed it!:)
