Overall Ratings & Reviews Hotel Villas Mar y Arena

Liked the location, though the entire area is very windy in February and cold/cool. Everyone very nice and helpful. Great food. No complaints here.

Great place to stay. Feels like home with the owners. Excellent, fresh seafood in the restaurant. My favorite 7 Mares soup in the world. Giant, fresh imperial shrimp. Love the town too.

Wonderful stay in their cabañas! Checkin was super easy, the staff were very helpful at accommodating the extra blankets/pillows we needed for the kids. the beach out front was spectacular for collecting shells!

Right on the water with view of bay

Enjoyed our waterfront chalet for one quick night before a whale-watching trip. The room was clean and comfortable.

Stopped enroute from Colorado to San Jose del Cabo looking to spend some time whale watching. Had a room on the water - excellent. Had a dinner, breakfast and lunch - all very well prepared. A must is the baked Chocolate clams - fantastic. The whale watching was very good. Knowledgeable and courteous captain (Henry). Overall a great stop! Will do it again with family members.

A nice hotel in a remote location. Staff is friendly. Amenities close by. Good value.

We had a lovely waterfront room with comfortable beds and a hot shower. The restaurant on site has great food and the service was very friendly and accommodating. We will be back!

Pleasant location just out of town which is a plus

Probably the best in San Carlos but was not the most comfortable. They did give us a separate modem to make sure we had internet. if you want to see the grey whales you can touch, make sure you come in February. They weren’t there yet for us.

The hotel offers tours to watch whales, dolphins and sea lions. It was really nice to stay there.

we did not stay at the property. The place was not clean and my wife did not want to stay there. Instead, we stayed at Hotel Isabella

This was a very unique experience. Villas Mar y Arena is located on the beach of a beautiful bay in a small fishing community. Be prepared for a rustic experience, and make sure you know some basic Spanish to communicate with most of the staff. The owner, Fito, spoke English, but he couldn’t be everywhere, so it helps to communicate with people in their own language, even if it’s just a few words. We went whale watching, and it was amazing. We lost count of how many whales and dolphins we saw, and we were even “baptized” by the water out of a whale spout next to our boat. Amazing experience!!

Fito and his family were wonderful! Highly recommend this beautiful location.

We enjoyed our stay and also the onsite restaurant. It was quiet and offered a nice location for walking on the beach for the sunset.

Rustic , Loved the place

Quite basic but nice family run establishment. The food was excellent and good magarittas!

Our room was was excellent & very comfy!! Our view was awesome & wonderful to wake up to. My only suggestion is, the structure the mural is on could be improved for overall ambiance of sitting by the beach. Wonderful! I wanted to spend a couple more days enjoying the view!!

Tiny town with nothing to do except whale watching which is why we went. Great little hotel and really good food in their restaurant which is just as well as there isn't much choice in town if you wanted a change - we stayed 2 nights which is enough - they run whale watching trips from the hotel which were fantastic

Small rustic seaside hotel. The main advantage is that they launch their own small boats in the bay, in front of your room, and you go whale watching. Lots of Grey whales. Worth it. The town is a small village. Nothing to see. The hotel had a small restaurant with excellent food. The main reason to come here is for excellent whale watching. The town if Constitution is 60 km away and has grocery stores as well as more restaurants.
