The view from the balcony was so nice and everything was upgraded in terms of appliances and furniture. The kitchen was stocked and they supply things like boogie boards and beach chairs. The beach and pool weren’t crowded at all. Very peaceful environment. A lot of good food options within walking distance, and San Jose Del Cabo was a quick uber. We went into Los Cabos twice, but were so happy we weren’t staying there. Kathy and Rudy were very helpful! Thanks for a great vacation. ##### Leigh Ann W.

Mar 28, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Absolute Gem!! My wife and daughter stayed here for 6 nights during spring break - 3/15 to 3/21. We've been to SJC multiple times and stayed at a few all inclusive resorts and boutique hotels. After staying at El Zalante and this particular unit I don't think we'll stay anywhere else on our next visit. The unit was recently remodeled and the floors are a beautiful large format tile which flowed seamlessly out to the veranda. Very nicely decorated too. Morning coffee on the comfortable veranda furniture was a daily routine and equally inviting for happy hour and meals. The hosts were very communicative and awesome to deal with. They even helped get me set up with the group of golfers that go out weekly. The grounds and pool are very well maintained. We will be back for sure and looking forward to it! Thanks J & D! ##### Nadine P. Stayed 6 nights in Mar 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Linda M.

The place was clean and well stocked. We loved the lanai with the beautiful sunrises, 3 temperature pools and direct access to the beach. Our only critique would be that there was no hot water to the master shower but it didn't take away from us recommending this place. ##### Linda M.

My husband and I just returned from a one week stay at Dan and Judy's beautiful condo. It was spotlessly clean when we arrived, comfortable and well decorated. We had a few questions during our stay and they were answered quickly by the owners and/or property managers. We have stayed at El Zalate many times in other condos. You cannot find a more serene and secure spot with the most incredible views! We plan to return in a year and are already looking forward to the trip. ##### Lisa M. Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nancy B. Jan 18, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful beach front condo, expensive airport pickup The property was very nice, spacious and tastefully decorated. Amenities were great, except the hot tub was not functioning the entire week. Beach was very secluded and we saw whales offshore on several afternoons! Communication with the owners was prompt. Good suggestions given for nearby restaurants and spa services. Art Walk was wonderful, it’s a must! Warning: the on-site property manager, Rudy, recommends airport transportation by Aldo at Dunes Tours and Travel. The charge was 70 one way for a 20 minute trip. I should have checked Uber, it was on 16 one way. I suggest you take an Uber everywhere. Cheap and good service! ##### Nancy B. Stayed 7 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### RICHARD Nov 14, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication We liked the fact that was place was clean, the view was fantastic, and grounds were kept up. The beach was almost part of the property it was so close. Having our own kitchen was so nice, made it nice for small meals or you can cook a meal too. Our communication with the property managers was very good and helpful. It was peaceful there. But, if you wanted some excitement a uber ride to town was less than 10 minutes away, you could walk it through the beach if you wanted to. Were already planning on a return visit, highly recommend this condo. ##### RICHARD Stayed 7 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mark C.

We had meals at the palapa as well as Mama Mia’s next store just steps on the beach away! It was wonderful sitting on the balcony watching sunrise and drinking Mexican coffee!! A 5star get away, hoping to return again soon….. thank you Dan and Judy! Oh yeah we saw whales from the balcony too !! ##### Mark C. Stayed 8 nights in Dec 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Mar 25, 2018 #### Another perfect stay! This was our second visit to Dan and Judy’s condo and we loved it just as much if not more than our first. El Zalate is a great property- beautifully maintained pool and grounds and views that take your breath away. The condo itself is such a pleasure to stay in. It is obvious there is pride of ownership here. It is one of the nicest and best equipped VRBO properies we have ever stayed in. Everything you need is here. Our favourite spot is the huge deck.We spent many happy early mornings drinking our coffee watching the sunrise and loved our candlelit dinners at the outdoor dining table. Thanks so much,Dan and Judy,you really do have a little piece of paradise here. We’ll be back- Bruce and Paula ##### Verified traveller Stayed 21 nights in Mar 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Diane M. Jan 18, 2018 #### Home with a View My husband, college student son and I just returned from a week at this beautiful property. Other reviews have referred to the comfort of this well maintained condo, but I will add that it is clearly a well loved home, with all the conveniences you might want provided with high end style. The complex is within walking distance of a few good restaurants, but we found it helpful to have a car. There is a fair amount of construction all over Cabos and the property was a tranquil oasis; Always quiet, on a near empty broad beach. (We did not try to swim there, though a handful of people did.) Dan and Judy were always available and helpful hosts. I highly recommend this property for anyone looking for relaxation. ##### Diane M.

(Oxxo next door for quick simple purchases and beautiful Grocery only 1km away) The condo was clean and comfortable with easy access to the pool and beach. Pool was heated and perfect temp. (Kids under 12 not allowed in hot tub tho and strictly enforced by neighbours. All very nice ;) It was also valuable to know in advance that beach was not safe to swim in. The Owners were easy to contact and very responsive. They were gracious enough to accommodate us one more night at the last minute when our flight was cancelled. We loved the condo and were Very happy with our stay! Thank you! ##### Angie Liane S. Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer H. Apr 1, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Hidden Gem I'm hesitant to review this place because we want to keep it all to ourselves! Honestly, the pictures don't do it justice. The condo was clean, spacious and prefectly situated on the property. Gorgeous views from a comfortable balcony living room. The pools were large with ample space for guests and never crowded. With a bar and restaurant next door, fresh fish sold by locals after their day on the water, and the local supermarket a short walk or uber ride away- what more could you ask for?! Our young teen girls joined us and their room with 2 beds was a perfect fit for them. We enjoyed this so much we are already talking about our return! This was a find we were more than happy with, just don't tell anyone! ##### Jennifer H. Stayed 6 nights in Mar 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Keonna R. Jan 23, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely View The place was very nice and had a beautiful view. Very quiet & low key place if that is what you are seeking. It was nice to be able to use a gym one mile away for free. Had everything you needed. \*\*\*\*Only issue was our friends who stayed in the guest room only had luke warm water in shower. The Master bathroom shower was hot but not guest room bath. That is something we complained about but supposedly nothing could be done about it. So if I paid half for the condo, I’d want to know that going into it. Otherwise it was a nice stay and very responsible manager & owner. ##### Keonna R. Stayed 9 nights in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tina J. Jan 8, 2018 #### The perfect vacation We couldn’t have been happier with our stay at Dan & Judy’s Palapa. The condo is very clean and has all of the amenities you could ask for. The views are phenomenal. We arrived in the dark and the next morning my son ran into my room saying, “Mom, it’s beautiful here!” It really doesn’t get better then this. The grounds are meticulously cared for and as you walk around you feel that you are in paradise. The sound of the waves follows you reminding you that you are in a special place. This is one of the only vacation homes that I have stayed at where the pictures truly do the home justice. Yes, the balcony is that big!! Room to eat and lounge. You have a gorgeous view from almost every place in the condo, including the kitchen. Dan & Judy were a pleasure to work with. Very easy. Prompt responses. El Zalate itself hosts a very warm and relaxing atomosphere. The other guests were friendly and kind. The complex overall is very quiet and relaxing. The beach is steps away. The sunrises are spectacular. Activities are close by. The art walk on Thursday night is a very special event that we all enjoyed. The one big decision you will have to make every morning is, beach or pool? ##### Tina J.

The property itself sits beachfront on The Sea of Cortez. Landscaping and pool areas are extremely well maintained and every unit has a breath-taking view. The beach in front is just made for long walks and there are very few people on it, although it is extremely safe with condos and resorts dotted all along. Dan and Judy's unit is well appointed with some very nice high end touches- granite countertops, gas stove and stainless steel appliances. Both bedrooms are large and have direct access to the very spacious and comfortable balcony. We spent most of our time out there. There is an inviting sitting area with cozy cushioned rattan furniture and a large dining table. The furniture layout is designed for outdoor living- from gorgeous sunrises to peaceful moonlit nights, from here you get it all. El Zalate is about a 10 minute walk to a very large Grocery store and is an easy bus trip to the charming little town of San Jose del Cabo where you will find plenty of shops and restaurants. There are a few restaurants within walking distance of El Zalate. Mama Mia's, right next door is on the beach and serves good food and drinks. We loved everything about this place and are already booked for 3 weeks next year. El Zalate is a quiet,secure, beautifully well maintained property and this unit will most certainly please those looking for a very high quality experience. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Katy C.

Cant wait to stay here again !! Thank you Judy and Dan :) ##### Cheryl H.
