1. What are your policies regarding rentals?
• Guests may check-in to Villa del Arco any day of the week.
• Room occupancy beyond maximum allowed per suite subject to additional charge.
• Payment options: Travelers check, Personal/Business Check, Cashier's/Registered Check or Money Order. We also accept VISA, MasterCard, & Discover Card.
• Rental payments are required in full & in advance in order to hold a reservation as active
• The resort charges an additional daily fee depending on suite size. Fees vary but typically range from $3/day/room to $8/day/room.

Cancellations: Our unique and cost effective inventory and availability at this resort provides our guests with significant savings for the exact same suites you would find on any other online booking site. Only the rate you pay is different. Our guests save hundreds and frequently save thousands of dollars booking through us. However, once we have booked, confirmed and billed you for your reservation, it is non-refundable for any reason. This is why we encourage you to consider trip insurance to protect your vacation investment in the event of a trip interruption or need to cancel. Many of our guests have recommended the following sources for information and purchase of trip insurance through online insurance brokers who typically can insure your entire trip purchase for just a few hundred dollars:

Or simply use the credit card that's already in your wallet to insure your trip! Bet it you didn't know that that was possible but it is. Here are a few comprehensive sites that offer an analysis of credit cards that automatically provide trip insurance for their cardholders who use those cards for travel purchases. This is great information to help you with insurance needs for this trip or any future trip:

• Policies are subject to change without notice and you are encouraged to check back often for updates and review specific terms and conditions when booking. . [Top]

2. Your rates are the best I've found by far...how do you do it?
For more than a decade now we've been helping guests just like you save hundreds...sometimes thousands of dollars on their resort accommodations. And although we are often confused with a direct booking service like those you would find with a hotel, there are significant differences. Unlike a booking service that has direct access to the resort accommodations and books them to the general public at market rates, our availability is made up of timeshare owner weeks that the owners have chosen to rent rather than use, and at a fraction of the regular resort rates. The rooms aren't any different...the only difference is the price you pay. You get the same great accommodations you would through any other source, you'll save thousands doing it, PLUS you will have unique advantages of traveling as the guest of an owner, including the following...

- Full use of all resort amenities.
- Daily maid service is included.
- All rooms, regardless of who they are booked through, are assigned at check-in. But as the guest of an owner, you'll have priority over other online bookings with regards to view and location.
- Personal advice! We live in Cabo part time. We provide our guests with comprehensive restaurant reviews, insider information and activities recommendations to help you save time and money and get the most out of your vacation. 

Your reservation through us is secured with a resort generated confirmation, which we email to you upon payment.   [Top]

9. What are the regulations for children under 18 years old traveling to Mexico?
IMPORTANT! If you are a lone parent or will be traveling with your children but without your spouse, or you are under 18 years old traveling alone, special paperwork is required.
• If you are a single parent, or if your spouse will not be traveling with you and your children for whatever reason, you must get a notarized letter from the absent parent, giving consent for the child or children to be traveling with one parent absent.
• If you are a widow or widower, you will need to write a letter to explain this and get it and a copy of the death certificate notarized. Carry both of these documents with you when you travel.
• If you are estranged from your spouse, and you are the legal guardian of your child/children, you can take a copy of the court order (original only, no copies) with you, and this will suffice to get into Mexico.
• If you are under 18 years old and want to travel to Mexico without your parents, you will need to carry with you a notarized letter of consent signed by both parents.

16. What is the "All Inclusive " (AI) Meal Plan and how can I make it work for me?

ALL- INCLUSIVE MEAL PLAN
If you are looking for more dining and bar hopping flexibility rent your room ONLY and the  Meal Plan can be purchased at the Resort directly when you get there - $140 (taxes and fees included) per adult per day. 3 day minimum. You can add days as you go or head downtown once you've had a few days to chill. Kids 4-12 Half Price

The "All Inclusive" meal plan can be purchased at the resort at any time or may be included or "packaged" with your accommodations. Our best rates usually exclude the meal plan and give you the choice of adding the all inclusive days you want to your stay, often at a price well below the "packaged" rate. The resort is walking distance to all the unique and fantastic bars and restaurants of Cabo so get out there at some point during your stay and enjoy the culture and support the locals, even if you are on the all inclusive! Below you will find the most current information we have, but you should check with the resort front desk directly for specifics as they control what is on the plan and how it works. The plan may not include some items, like specialty steaks and shrimp/lobster, premium liquors, etc but does offer discounts on these items. Menu items included and not included in the meal plan are clearly designated on menus.

There are a couple of ways to participate in the all inclusive meal plan...you can purchase it as a "bundled" or "packaged" rate online through one of the online booking engines, typically at much higher rates than our rates, or you can take advantage our our incredible "room only" rates and buy the All Inclusive (AI) when you get to the resort. The advantages of buying it at the resort are threefold:

1) You can choose to get the AI and pay for just the days you want (see terms below).
2) By getting the days you want (or not doing it at all) you really broaden your choices to enjoy all the incredible restaurants and bars in town and on the resorts beach. There is a WalMart grocery store and Costco nearby too and full kitchen in most suites.
3) With our incredible rates you can get the AI like you really want it and literally save thousands over the online packaged rates.

The Villa Group Meal Plan includes the following:

·        
Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner at the restaurants in Villa del Arco and Villa del Palmar.
·        
A variety of selected Liquors, Beers, Cocktails, Soft drinks, at the bars and restaurants at Villa del Arco and Villa del Palmar plus snacks and drinks around the pool and on the beach.
