This hotel seems to be an old apartment complex, maybe some apartments still occupied. The location for young adults is great! Very close to the Nightlife and a short walk to the beach. The king bed was basically 2-beds pushed together and was not very comfortable - but we really didn't go to Cabo to sleep. The room was cleaned daily. Bathroom seemed alright - the toilet was clean, the shower could have used a little attention. The pool area is VERY nice and relaxing. The staff was VERY helpful and courteous - RAUL was the guy who checked us in and he was helpful.
Overall I would not stay there with my family because the location is so close to the nightlife, but for 5 crazy women having a "Spring Break" we couldn't have asked for more... Enjoy your stay

I stayed at the Villa Del Pescador for 3 nights from April 15th to April 18th. After arriving at the airport, grabbing a shuttle and seeing all the grand hotels where our co-passengers were dropped off, the Villas seemed like a seedy run-down bordello from the outside. (pic) When we walked in however, the manager Carlos (the only person there who speaks English) was very welcoming and let us know that our room was not ready yet (we arrived at around 10:30am) and we could wait by the pool and he would bring us a bucket of beers. When the room was ready, Carlos personally escorted us to the room which was up the CRAZIEST staircase I've ever been up! (pic)

THE ROOM was fine, a view of a car wash place and a taped-up air conditioner. (more pics) The bathroom was clean and the toilet was not gross like others here have said (they probably had a different room). The beds were hard and the pillows were thin but that didn't matter to us since we didn't come to Cabo to sleep! The room was next to a noisy street but the air-conditioner masked most of the sound outside so no problem. The funniest thing about the room was the broken doorknob on the bathroom door which prevented us from using the bathroom the first night. (pic) We eventually used a towel to strategically grab the door and pry it open (fun). Also the maintenance guy was in the middle of replacing the shower head when we arrived and never got around to finishing it so we had a sort of "shower-by-hose" thing going on (pic).

THE STAFF were very friendly and brought us coffee and tea to us outside every morning as requested (in Spanish, but so what?!). The poolside had plenty of clean chairs and tables with one of those large straw awning things (what are they called?). The hotel played a DVD-audio mix of lots of relaxing and fun music, good to chill out to. Carlos was always wandering around to say "what's up" and he booked us a spot on a booze-cruise later in the trip which wroked out fine.

THE LOCATION was the best part of the Villas! Two blocks from El Squid Roe, the Zoo, Giggling Marlin, Cabo Wabo, The Nowhere Bar etc., and about an 8 minute walk to the beach. The Villas provided a great jumping off point for going out and partying or going to the beach and coming back without those nasty cab expenses.

IN CONCLUSION the Villas Del Pescador is great for college kids or couples who plan to go out and about in Cabo. It is close to the beach and really close to the nightlife. The rooms are good enough for their purpose and the staff is friendly. This isn't a resort where you can be on vacation in Mexico yet have no contact with the locals and never have to speak spanish (like some other reviewers obviously wanted). Having that said, the Villas Del Pescador is not good for families because it has an atomsphere much more conducive to college-age drinking and partying. Most of the other people staying there were in their early to mid-twenties and we all had beers in our hands and/or talked about going out and partying every night so it may not be appropriate for the little ones. For the partiers, this place is great if you know why you came to Cabo in the first place!

This was just plain terrible!!! LIES, LIES AND MORE BLOODY LIES!! Below are the "QUOATED" room features from expedia:

One king bed, or one queen bed, or two double beds. Balcony or Patio. Separate sitting area and desk. Cable/satellite TV. Microwave, refrigerator, and complimentary bottled water. Private bathroom. Air conditioning and ceiling fan.

The ONLY true features of this room were the TV and the private bathroom! THAT’S ALL!!

We pulled up to a shack sometime Sunday night when my girlfriend cried "I hope this is not the place!". We proceeded into the shack to find that the hotel owner and manager were not present. Instead we were dealing with "a friend" who was helping. Anyway, he couldn’t find our room until he consulted with the maintenance guy (who spoke no English). Finally he took us to our room and my gosh we, yes WE (even him) were speechless. No words surfaced our lips as the door slammed behind us.

Now for the details. There was one FULL-SIZED bed, NO balcony, NO patio (instead we were treated to a view of a busted roof out of a window which didn’t open), NO separate sitting area, NO desk, NO microwave, NO refrigerator, NO bottled water, yes, there was an air conditioner but the plug was NOT TO STANDARD with the outlet so it WOULD NOT FIT, NO ceiling fan! It was terrible! Half eaten roach carcasses could be spotted behind the garbage can, mold and who knows how old toothpaste stains were found on the side of the sink faucet, and most of the wood was bitten by termites or something of that sort. There was NO... I repeat NO knob to control the bath/shower water!! YUCK!! There were long strands of hair all over the pillows and last but not least, none of the management present spoke any English at all!! Seriously I learned Spanish in about 1 hr to complain to these people.

Finally after 3 hours of pacing, teeder-toddering with expedia, and fumbling through Spanish for idiots to communicate with the so-called management I was free of this horrible curse. I mean it was almost a trip ender... she (my girlfriend) was ready to head back to the states right when we got there. Finally we got relocated to best western quinta del sol. Best move ever! We loved it. The best western was very clean, very homey, had a kitchen and air condition that actually worked and all that good stuff. So be advised... the standard rooms that claim to have all of that good stuff do not and I would not recommend staying there... ever!

Oh yea by the way, when I was talking to one of the guys who was helping out at the hotel and I told him about all of the features that this hotel supposedly had and he laughed and said "that’s funny... none of the standard rooms have any of that." Anyway, enjoy the pictures and I hope this review helps some of you planning to stay here. P.S. the water in this hotel is not purified.

I stayed at the Pescador over spring break in March and upgrade to the "suit" room. I read these reviews before booking and was a little leery, here is my review.... The Good: Let me start by saying it's in a great location! 5 minute walk to downtown clubs, bars, restaruants, etc. and 15 minute walk to the beach. No need to cab anywhere. It had a internet cafe right next door. Minimal security so no problem bringing women back. I did not get the "rainbow" feeling that others got. Did not find any cockroaches, all the doors locked and the staff was pretty friendly. Not many Americans at the place though, only us and some other guys partying from Oakland. The Bad: Pubes everywhere! yes on the toilet seat, in the shower, the bed (we took the comforter off and threw it in the closet), pillows, etc. only about 25% of the lights worked, no shower curtain so the bathroom got flooded when you took a shower (It wasn't uncommon to see the guys from Oakland bathing and shampooing their hair in the swimming pool and my roommate didn't shower for the 3 days we were there), the view from the master bedroom was of hazardous waste barrels, and when we clogged the toilet and went to the lobby to let them know, we were handed a plunger. All and all, the place is definitely a value play vs staying at one of the bigger ones along the ocean. If you don't plan on staying in your room much and your main goal is getting out site seeing, partying, etc. then this may be a good place for you.
