Hotel El Nido Bed & Breakfast at Hacienda Escondida (Cabo San Lucas, Mexico)

From the time they opened the heavy wooden gates and walked into the tropical plant filled courtyard, guests said they felt as though they'd stepped into an exotic paradise. They loved the mango trees, the singing birds and, especially, the outdoor palapa rooms with one side opening onto private patios. They raved about the colourful decor, the outdoor Jacuzzi and most said they couldn't wait to return.

The complimentary breakfast which includes Mexican omelettes, quesadillas, homemade guacamole, fruit and freshly squeezed juices got the day off to a great start for guests at this hotel. They enjoyed eating in the pleasant courtyard and praised the quality and variety of food and the prompt and friendly service.

Guests had plenty of compliments for husband and wife hosts Gary and Xochi, describing them as cordial, welcoming and willing to do whatever was needed to ensure a comfortable stay.  They also appreciated advice on where to eat and what to see and do in the local area.

One of the disadvantages to the open sided palapa rooms, guests said,  was the sounds of blaring music and traffic noise from the street below. Those who used the earplugs provided said this helped reduce the noise levels a bit, but others complained that it was a less than satisfactory solution.

Guests in the palapa rooms who chose not to sleep under the mosquitos netting said they paid the price the next morning.

So far, no other negative opinion have been expressed by guests about this hotel.
