On a busy residential street -- noise can be an issue
Hotel lacks a pool or restaurant
In contrast to the area’s towering resorts, Cabo Vista Hotel offers modest, budget lodging with all the essentials for travelers who will be out exploring all day. All 23 rooms are bright and modern, and include modern amenities like large internet-connected TVs, free Wi-Fi, private balconies, and kitchenettes. While the property provides a solid home base for exploring central Cabo San Lucas, the lack of any common amenities may dissuade some guests. It's also less than a 10-minute walk to most of the town's bars and restaurants. Few hotels in the area can compete on price, however, guests seeking a similar property will find more room to spread out at Los Milagros Hotel which features a small pool and garden-style terrace.

Scene
Small, two-and-a-half-pearl, garden-style hotel with an intimate feel
The surrounding neighborhood is an unassuming residential suburb of downtown Cabo San Lucas. However, Cabo Vista Hotel stands out with its vine-covered stone exterior, Mediterranean-inspired trellises, and wrought iron accents. The look is charming and intimate -- far more than so many of the terribly dated and barebones budget hotels we've seen in Cabo. While the Cabo Vista's vibe is quaint, there's no space to socialize, and it's best used as a nice place to recharge after a day checking out the bars, restaurants, and sights of Cabo San Lucas. This relaxed property caters to a foreign clientele seeking clean, unpretentious -lodging with few frills and many guests are long-term stays.
Location
In a residential area, less than a 10-minute walk to Cabo's bars and restaurants
The hotel is in a residential neighborhood without much to see or do in the immediate area. However, it's just an eight-minute walk to the heart of Cabo San Lucas. As such, dozens of the city’s most popular restaurants, bars, shops, and the marina are all reasonably close at hand. Squid Roe -- one of the city's most notorious night spots -- is a 12-minute walk away. However, it's a bit of a hike to reach the city's popular Medano Beach. Expect a 10-minute cab ride there. Travelers looking to surf should head to Costa Azul, a 25-minute drive up the Sea of Cortez. Los Cabos International Airport (SJD) is 40 minutes away by car, about five minutes past charming San Jose del Cabo.
Rooms
Bright, charming rooms with internet-enabled TVs, fast Wi-Fi, and kitchenettes
For a modest, budget motel, the rooms here are a really welcome sight. Decor is bright, modern, and well-thought-out, with a rustic charm. Materials are a tasteful blend of rough wood, creamy stone, tile, and white stucco that blend contemporary style with colorful local details. The two room categories are virtually identical, except for the size and bed configuration. Suites are cozy, though not cramped, with a tiny private balcony and a kitchenette (with a microwave, sink, electric cooktop, and mini-fridge) plus a breakfast bar. Upgraded Two Bedroom Suites feature all of the above, plus additional square footage to allow for a separate bedroom. The list of modern amenities is excellent. Fast, free Wi-Fi is provided (via a dedicated wireless router in each room) throughout the property, as are large, flat-screen TVs with access to Netflix and more than 300 digital channels. The beds are well-reviewed as comfortable, however, the property is subject to a decent amount of road noise day and night from the adjacent street. Bathrooms are equally well designed, with stone tiling, quartz mirror surrounds, and high ceilings. Walk-in shower stalls and generic bath soaps are standard.
Features
Only the essentials -- continental breakfast and free, secure parking
There are almost no features at this hotel. A basic continental breakfast (including fresh fruit, pastries, juice, and coffee) is provided for free each day in the tiny reception office. The hotel lends free beach amenities as well, including towels and umbrellas. Free parking is available via a handful of individually gated spaces just off the street. Wi-Fi is likewise fast and free throughout the property.
