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]

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.

·         Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner at the restaurants in Villa del Arco and Villa del Palmar.
