Casa Arroyo Azul #30

Had a great 5 night stay at this Casa. The pool was great and had a wonderful view of the ocean to watch for whale watching. The theater room was a nice to have.

The house was impeccable, the beach was gorgeous and everyone from the property management company to the concierge to the chefs we had come cook for us one night were so friendly and professional. We had 6 kids and 6 adults and the house had plenty of space and privacy. Everything worked well and was set up so nicely- the sonos sound system was really handy when the kids were napping and the pool was so nice. we will definitely be back, it was a little slice of paradise.

With 4 full bedroom suites it was perfect for 8 of us. The infinity pool, spa, bar, lounge beds were great. We heartily recommend this casa. Small issues: the coffee maker and toaster are too small for this house. The TV in the bdrm above the garage wasn't hooked up. Alilat is a perfect Concierge. The Chef cooked for our daughter down the street...really good. Bottom Line: We would love to come back.

The property we stayed at was absolutely perfect! The home was immaculate and even more gorgeous than the pictures! Eight women arrived for a girls trip so just relaxing by the pool was one of our top "activities". We did make it out to Flora Farms for a beautiful dinner, runs on the beach, yoga and walks to Buzzards for yummy lunches. Maria was always available and completely gracious in attending to our needs. Our bartender and chef were always on time and created wonderful drinks and meals. I would highly recommend this property/company to accommodate any type of vacation. Thank you so much!

We have been coming to the area for almost 20 years and in the last few have discovered this paradise called El Encanto De La Laguna. Our most recent visit was in the beautiful Casa Arroyo Azul on the third row but overlooking the breathtaking view of the beach. We booked it last minute and Maria made it so easy and was (and always has been) an absolute pleasure to deal with, from list of things we need before we get there, to last minute things we need while there, she is right there on top of it to handle it...Alilat is your personal concierge and if you ever want advice on what to do or any other special requests, she handles it completely and will not steer you wrong. This beautiful development on the Sea of Cortez is impeccably maintained, professionally managed, secured and safe. I would recommend them to everyone and everyone and even go as far as to guarantee that if you chose to stay at any one of the villas or condos in El Encanto, it would be one, if not THE, best vacation that you EVER had! Truly remarkable in every way and you will absolutely not be disappointed.

Arroyo Azul was such an amazing get-away for our group of moms! The pool was so refreshing, even in the August heat. We explored all of San Jose de Cabo and also drove into Cabo a few times. Even though you have to take a gravel/dirt road to get back home, the house is a paradise! We loved the sound system, professionally stocked kitchen, and especially the movie room at night. Alilat was such a wonderful concierge and truly catered to our needs (even with a minor emergency on a Sunday!). The whole complex was very quiet and we felt like we had the beach and neighborhood to ourselves. I would recommend staying here if you like luxury off the beaten path. Perfect!

I rented #30 Casa Arroyo Azul home in El Encanto Villas in San Jose del Cabo which is about 25 minutes from the airport, past Flora Farms. I traveled with my husband and son (28) and we were there for 6 glorious days. It is truly an amazing place, the entire development is beautifully maintained. It sits at the end of a court, 3rd row back from the beach with a nice blue water view. The house has 3 large, very nicely decorated bedrooms, all with on suite bathrooms, a movie theater and a huge living room. There is also a separate casita with one bedroom & bath. The house comes with all amenities – blow dryers, shampoo/conditioner (unclear if they replenish), linens, etc. It also includes wifi, which extends to the backyard, Dish Network & Apple TV. There is a wonderful concierge service (thank you Alilat!) who helps with all your requests from housekeeping, chef services, excursions, also including restaurant reservations & taxi service. Housekeeping costs $15/hour and we had them come by once during our stay to change sheets and tidy up. I did not cook the entire time we were there, I hired a local chef who cooked us wonderful, sometimes too rich but delicious food. I found that doing all 3 meals was just too much food, so after day one, we scaled back to breakfast & dinner. He provided us with all receipts and gets paid in cash. The backyard in this house is truly awesome, the mosquitos are in heaven (MUST use bug spray)! It feels very private, beautifully landscaped with a gorgeous infinity pool and palapa with a swim up bar, lounging beds, hot tub, and firepit. There is Sonos music speakers throughout the home & backyard which is very nice. The beach at this community is empty and beautiful. It is about a 3 block walk and so private. Buzzards Restaurant is just before the guarded gate entry and is fantastic. Definitely worth walking there and having local delicious food, meet the owner & staff who are all so friendly – they even do takeout! We had such a wonderful time at this amazing home and will definitely be returning. Up until now, we have stayed at the One & Only Palmilla, but this place knocked my socks off! We felt totally comfortable and were quite happy going nowhere and seeing basically no one, although we did go to San Jose for dinner twice ($30 taxi each way). Next time, we will stay in – no need to leave! It was definitely more than I expected, what a fabulous time!

El Encanto de la Laguna far exceeded our expectations for a group of 4 couples each with two very young children. Location – We didn’t necessarily need to be close to nightlife with all the kiddos. The property is just north of San Jose del Cabo, just over a 30 minute drive. Transportation – Alilat, concierge extraordinaire, arranged for us to have 2 large suburbans waiting at the airport. The driver had a clearly marked sign with our party’s name at the airport transportation area. The 2 suburbans easily fit 6 adults, 6 kids in car seats, luggage, strollers, etc. Amenities – Too countless to name, but Casa Arroyo Azul was essentially a fabulous home away from home. Kitchen was fully stocked with all tools necessary to cook meals, The pool area was amazing, we spent the majority of our time here. Four large “beds” with pillows, plenty of beach towels. We ate outside every evening. The bedrooms were large with plenty of room for baby beds, Pack ‘n Plays or air mattresses, etc. Enormous closets. The bathrooms/showers were spotless and stocked with L’Occitane toiletries. We rented a golf cart for the week - was great to haul kids to/from the beach, take an evening drive, or drive over to Buzzards for lunch. We may rent two golf carts next time. We CAN NOT speak highly enough of the in-home chef!!! Each night we were treated to an amazing candle lit, fine dining, multi-course meal pool-side, babies asleep, kitchen cleaned afterward. They prepped at 6:00 while we got the kids to bed. It was worth EVERY penny and in hindsight, we would additionally hire their services for breakfasts as well. Extras – Alilat organized an amazing “girls day” for the mamas. Yoga on the beach with Pam at 8:00 am – her beautiful accent plus waves crashing made for a bit of an emotional yoga practice, she was amazing!! The massage therapists were awesome and worked around our crazy kids. Service – Maria and Alilat were absolutely wonderful to work with. Alilat was available for questions throughout the week. The pool heater needed to be repaired one day, servicemen were working immediately in the morning to remedy this. Also the water pump to the house randomly went out one day – they jumped into action, repairmen arrived and within 20 minutes it was fixed. Amazing. We highly recommend El Encanto de la Laguna for an amazing getaway! Perfect for families or couples who want a quiet get away with access to nightlife.
