About the Hotel
The Cape, a Thompson Hotel, is redefining the coastline of Los Cabos. Open in June 2015, there’s no trace of the traditional Mexican beach resort. Sleek architectural lines eschew Spanish tile, and the rooftop bar channels New York City with a tropical vibe. The hotel is still distinctly Mexico – ceramicist José Noé Suro contributed contemporary art pieces, and hand-painted tile appears throughout the property. Arrive to a room dressed in bespoke Latin American furniture and accessorized with special touches – there’s a tequila welcome gift and a set of binoculars for spying on whales, which frequent the waters surrounding the Baja Peninsula.

Reviews for The Cape, a Thompson Hotel
A true Cabo gem. Boutique hotel with amazing staff and the services of a full resort.
Absolutely loved this property and everything about it. Whale sightings, all day long. From the rooms, from the front desk, from breakfast. Not just humpbacks coming to the surface, but full breaching. With whole families of whales at the same time. Some of the whales came in fairly close to the shore. Binoculars provided in the room. These came in VERY handy. The Thompson Suite. Its incredible. Views from every room here are spectacular. I highly recommend this property.

Don’t stay here if you are interested in sleeping at night
Beautiful property but don’t come seeking rest and relaxation. Rooftop bar pumping insanely loud music late into the night. I came here for an upscale experience not a dance club vibe. Would love to be able to sleep on vacation but can’t because of the extremely loud music. My earplugs are no match for it. If that’s your jam then definitely come but not for me and wish I had known ahead of time - would have booked elsewhere. So leaving this as a warning for others.

Hospitality and another level!
The staff couldn’t be more thoughtful and helpful. I want to point out one of the staff members Louis who manages the pool area. He has been extremely attentive to our needs and making our stay special. It is staff like him that make us want to return. Thank you Louis and staff for making our stay special.

Beautiful Stay at The Cape
Beautiful location, food and great service for the entire stay. The rooms and sea view were great. We loved the walk in showers and standing bath. The pool area and swim up bar were great during the day. We also really enjoyed the food options and the morning time workout options on the rooftop.

Luis is the Master!
We had a wonderful time at the Cape. I was here for a conference and brought my wife. I was in well-appointed meeting rooms all day, but during breaks was able to roam the property. The food is delicious. The real standout for the trip was the pool service my wife received every day. The staff discreetly noticed that she was with child, and promptly and gratuitously moved her into a private cabana for comfort, taking care of her every need. Luis at the pool made this possible and definitely secured our votes to return to the property again.

We loved our stay. The hotel is beautiful. Highlights include location, natural beauty, amazing balconies, and layout, staff was hard-working, attentive, friendly, and accommodating.
The rooftop is spectacular. The sunsets and views were incredible. Food and drinks were overpriced but good. The beach was not swimmable which is a negative, but clean, private and gorgeous. Fun to watch surfers. They could use some board games, deck of cards, or even a fancy chess board to add to the super fun pool table. Well-positioned elevators, etc. Really well-designed hotel. They've thought of everything. Beautiful gardens and natural surroundings are immaculately kept. Other guests were respectful, pleasant, polite and friendly.
While the concierge is in contact by text and email, they were not entirely helpful. They were unable to help us with dinner reservations. We ended up doing it all ourselves with ease. It seemed as if they were trying to keep us at the hotel for all meals. We were there for a week and had rented a car. Our plan was to explore and eat elsewhere for a few meals. However, I did not sit down and speak with the concierge face to face, so perhaps this would have made a difference.
We were at the hotel on New Year's Eve and they had a rooftop party. Our room was on the 3rd floor but still impacted by the sound and vibration of the base and music. I spoke with the manager and they satisfactorily resolved it. The New Year's eve rooftop party would have been incredible, so my feedback would be to let guests know about the potential for noise before they book - much like what a hotel would do if there was construction. They also brought earplugs to my room immediately after my call to the front desk and they helped immensely.
One other thing that I couldn't understand - no tea or coffee in the rooms! This would have made a huge difference to me.
Our experience with Luxury Link was a 10/10.
