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.

10/10 Service & Food
Juan, Fernando, & Javier were an absolute pleasure! They gave us the best recommendations for food and drink and were 10/10 for service. Truly gave us an experience here and above and beyond for photos. The tequila shrimp, tuna tartar, & churros were out of this world!

Magical Location, Staff and Service
Our room and the view from our room was absolutely breathtaking! The "welcome tequila bottle" was a very nice bonus to the beginning of our vacation. I would highly recommend a dinner at the Manta Restaurant. Make sure to go at sunset! The house cleaning service was impeccable. Along with the turn down service every evening and "the nightly tajin treat". Thank you! Brenda and Karina they are perfecto!! The view from the pool and the beach has to be the best in Cabo! The pool staff made us "feel at home" every day! They crafted delicious cocktails; the service and hospitality were over the top perfection! I highly recommend trying anything and everything on poolside lunch menu! We fell in love with everyone at the pool! *Luis, Fabian, Lenny, Hugo, Gustavo Raul, Angel!! They are truly amazing! Without hesitation, I would recommend The Cape to everyone! We can't wait to come back!

The best pool team in Cabo
We can’t say enough about the amazing pool attendant, Louis, at the Cape Thompson Hotel in Cabo! His friendly nature and incredible warmth truly made our stay unforgettable. Louis was always checking in with us, ensuring we had everything we needed while keeping the pool area pristine. His attention to detail along with his colleagues; Lenny, Fananda, Raul and Hugo did not go unnoticed, and it added a special touch to our experience. If you're staying at the Cape Thompson, be sure to say hi to Louis and the rest of the pool team. They are true gems!

Decadence and Deliciousness
The experience provided by every member of the staff at The Cape was simply unparalleled. From the moment we arrived until the moment we left, every need and desire was anticipated and, most often times, met before we even said a word. We are especially grateful to Luis and Gustavo - both of whom made our time spent lounging poolside in the sun, sipping margaritas, and noshing on the BEST shrimp aguachile one of the most decadent and delicious vacation experiences we've ever had. And many thanks to Neri for an unforgettable dining experience at Manta on our last night- between the beautifully curated tasting menu, the gorgeous sunset, and Neri's impeccable service, this was the perfect way to bookend our amazing stay at The Cape. We will definitely be back!

Always amazing our favorite place in Cabo!
We absolutely love coming to the Cape. They truly make us feel like family!! From the guys at the valet greeting us to our friends at the pool, Lenny, Adal, Gustavo, Fabian, Fernanda, Aldo, Hugo, Luis and Dany work as a team and are on top of everything. Sunsets are amazing here. We like to head up to the Sunken Bar and see Joe and Ivan for a few drinks before we go out. Mari, Francisco, Pech, Moises, Irasema and Sebastián make great drinks and are extremely hospitable. We’ve been here many times and this places exceeds our expectations every time. I would highly recommend staying. Don’t forget to check out the Ledge and the RoofTop bar too.

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.
