Gorgeous Presidential Villa on the Sea of Cortez

Our family of 6 rented the suite for my husband’s retirement. We’ve been to Cabo but this was our first trip to Los Barilles. The view when we walked in was absolutely stunning! The expansive deck & view were the highlight of our stay, especially with the sliders fully open - an extension of the living space. We loved watching the kite boarders & yachts & saw schools of fish, manta rays & whales. The deck gets morning sun & afternoon shade - perfect for the beautiful sunrises and escaping afternoon heat. The 3 bedroom/3 full bath setup was perfect for us. Comfortable beds (altho a bit shorter than our 6’ guys were used to) & lots of pillows/extra blankets. The air conditioner worked perfectly. The kitchen was stocked with everything needed & we used the washer/dryer every day. Recommend shopping at Costco or other huge supermarkets in Cabo if you can before arriving as there aren’t comparable grocery stores in LB. We picked up paper towels, toilet paper, laundry detergent & other necessities as the suite is stocked with them but not enough to last our group a week. Only a few ice trays so also get big bags of ice. We like to cook and highly recommend buying disposable plates, utensils, and cups. The dishwasher is not what we’re used to stateside & we resorted to handwashing dishes & using disposables. Some furnishings could be updated & maintenance improved (slow drain shower, broken lightbulbs). Very responsive owner & we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

The villa was amazing. We really enjoyed our stay. It was very spacious. The owner was very helpful and responsive. If you are looking for a quiet get away with some great fishing, here is your next booking.

The condo was nice but there was no paper towels napkins or dish soap, or tide tabs to do laundry. usually that’s a staple for a vrbo.One shower did not work properly. There was a lot of garbage on the beach outside the gate and the pool was dirty and the other one closed for renovations - kinda noisy. The WiFi was non Existing and honestly for what I paid it should be standard. Our property manager was helpful for activities and rentals.

Condo was large and had wonderful ocean front balcony. It was convenient directly across from the elevator. The rooms were spacious and comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped. One negative was that the dishwasher was not working. We were notified in advance, and mostly we ate out, so no big deal. There were a few things that needed attention. The master bathroom shower control came off in my hand. It was poorly put together, and required a plumber. Also the master bathroom had a foul odor. The lighting in the dining room and living room was very poor. We found some compact fluorescent lights and floor lamps which helped make the room better lit. When I mentioned this to the maintenance man, he took those lights and put them in the ceiling lights, which should have been a different kind of soft white light dimmable bulb. Instead, we had harsh white light in both the dining room and living room lights. The dining room at the hotel was very average. The staff were friendly. Service slow. The pool was not heated and we didn't swim. The hot tub was not hot enough, but we did use it.
