3BR - Montecristo Villa - at Quivira Los Cabos - OV - Villas for Rent in Cabo San Lucas, Baja California Sur, Mexico

Wonderful place with incredible views. Will rent again.

Thank you so much for the kind review! We’re thrilled you enjoyed the incredible views and had a wonderful stay. We’d be happy to host you again anytime 😊

Large and very beautiful villa with a wonderful view. Residence services to be improved, in particular the food (for Americans) and also the availability/friendliness of the staff (e.g. Concierge) is to be improved

Villa ampia e molto bella con una vista stupenda. Servizi del residence da migliorare, in particolare il cibo (per americani) e anche la disponibilità/cordialita del personale (es. Concierge) é da migliorare

Thank you for your kind words about the villa and the beautiful view! We're very happy you enjoyed your stay with us. We appreciate your feedback regarding the residence services. While those aspects (such as food and concierge) are managed directly by the resort and not by us, we will make sure to pass along your comments to the appropriate team. Your insights are valuable and help improve the overall guest experience. We hope to welcome you back in the future!

Thank you so much! We're thrilled to hear you'll be staying with us again on your next trip to Cabo. We look forward to welcoming you back soon!

We stayed as part of a golf trip. The location, amenities, and service were perfect for both pre and post round activities. Would definitely stay again.

Absolutely beautiful love Monte Christo it’s our favorite place.

The stay at Sauls was great for a family of five. Plenty of room, nice pool, hot tub and incredible views from the balconies watching whales in the Pacific.

First off I have rented lots of AirBnB and right before check in you are given instructions on how to check along with address, Host was very slow to respond and did not get a response back until after check in, which was a maps link to the community that took me elswhere. I had to find this doing my own homework. host could not be bothered and gave instructions to reach out to a customer service number on Airbnb if I had any questions. you will need to get through 3 checkpoints prior to being able to get to the lobby for check in. the house is a little ways from lots of things so good idea to have a car to get around. house is nice and has nice views. BEWARE staff will enter the home without permission to enter. 2 days out of 5 had woken up to staff already in the house. which was not expected or would have done a better job at securing personal property. we did have a small incident of some money missing $90USD not much but just a heads. overall I would say 8 out of 10

As always, we enjoyed our stay at Montecristo.  Great views and we spent hours on the deck watching the whales break surface constantly.  I have stayed in different units (all very comparable) around 8 times, and have loved our stay each time.  Also, when you leave, the COVID test to get back into the US is easy to arrange there at the facility and are now only $17.  I highly recommend staying at Montecristo.

Killer view, luxurious and spacious interior, infinity pool, hot tub, and room service.  You won't want to leave.  We didn't.

The Villa was very nice and comfortable. My family has already decided to return.

The WiFi at the villa was terrible If you’re planning on working during your stay good luck The hotel has wired rules around letting outside cars in ie Uber They want you to use hotel taxis which cost an arm The hotel is pretty isolated on a mountain so we have to rely on their transportation to go anywhere Other than that make sure you lock your belongings in the lockers provided we were missing a few items

Bad host, doesn’t answer take another one

This is a beautiful location. The all inclusive was actually a great option and getting around was really easy.

This house is clean and very beautiful it needs a couple touch ups here and there but it’s an amazing place to enjoy with family and friends . Also has a great view and it right next to restaurant and bar

The place was dirty ! And infected with parasites, which we are now covered in small itchy red bumps ! !! The host blocked us from sending him messages ! Also we had to contact maintenance every day regarding a different issue

Ashley did not report a single issue during her stay, we have a team dedicated to assist our guests, and she could have sent us a message over airbnb messaging system and she did nothing. After her check out she reported it (not to us) but to Airbnb that she had several issues and demanded a full refund. Airbnb declined her request, needless to say why.

Saul and his team were great! Communication, check-in, and service were great at the resort. We were booked in Montecristo Villa #70 which appeared to be an older unit that may have been the model for the timeshares at some point. There were oddly placed holes in the tile around the pool, many of the exterior light fixtures did not work and some of the furniture was very worn and in need of repair or replacement. I know this is probably out of the host's control as they do not own the unit itself, but the resort should put this unit on the shortlist for a refresh soon. The staff and the rest of the resort were very, very helpful and clean as always. We will stay here again, but request a different villa next time that is in better shape overall.

Such a beautiful place. Will deff come back

My stay at Sauls went great. Pictures will not do the view justice. Will be back.

The best damn place I’ve ever stayed in my life. The view was impeccable, the community was breathtaking, and the pool and jacuzzi were amazing! My lady and I were strikingly impressed. There couldn’t be a better place in Cabo to stay. I ended up extended my trip by 3 days. Paraiso!

Place is gorgeous. I have stayed at Monte Cristo before. Food court at Quivara, is fantastic. That is where the good news ends. Our experience of having to pay for extra guests ( we had 5  people for a 10 person villa., was not acceptable. Not being able to reach Saul, not even once, was more than frustrating, considering the way things are described was that he is always available. Tried several times. but had no direct communication at all. No cell phone and no responses to email or phone messages left. I would stay at Montecristo again, but I would select a different host or be sure to make contact way in advance.

Hi Adam,   Thank you for your feedback, we appreciate it. We communicate through the AirBnB messaging platform, which is the AirBnB required method of communication. You made a reservation for 1 guest only and I notified that to you in several occasions. I sent you several messages on the Airbnb platform to double check your number of guests as there was an extra fee. It is clearly stated in our listing and house rules that our prices are based on the number of guests staying.   I am always available on the AirBnB messaging platform to communicate with our guests. We also have a dedicated team to assist our guests during their stay, we send the contact information on the airbnb message, maybe you didn't read that either.

Just amazing! This place is paradise. I can't wait to return

Super clean space!! Exactly like pics show and views are amazing!! Will stay again.
