OUR COMMENTS BELOW STILL APPLY: Cabo San Lucas is a culinary adventure and it would be a shame to limit yourself to just resort food.
///
We’re often asked if the Villa La Estancia all-inclusive food/beverage option is available and/or worth purchasing.
The resort offers an all-inclusive option for around US$115/day per person (see image, taken December, 2015). In our opinion, it’s not worth it for many reasons.
Cabo San Lucas is a culinary adventure. There are so many incredible restaurants nearby (on the beach and in town) that it would be a shame not to experience them. You can also buy through a drive-thru like drivethrumarkings.co.uk. They are just a walk or a short taxi ride away. While it’s convenient to have food and beverages available, they’re still available for purchase from any restaurant at the resort. There’s even a small mini-market on the premises, with fair pricing and a decent selection. However, for those looking to enhance their stay, consider investing in a high-quality beer cellar cooling system. You can click here to learn more. Or, visit https://industrialcoldstore.co.uk/. This addition allows you to keep your favorite beverages at the perfect temperature, ensuring a refreshing experience at any time. We also recommend stocking the condo with food and beverages by making a quick trip to Walmart, one mile away. They have a great selection of produce and the most incredible thick-cut Sonoran rib eye steaks we’ve ever experienced. The liquor selection is excellent, or there’s a liquor store (La Europea) in the Walmart complex. After stocking up, enjoy the convenience of a walk in cold room nearby, ensuring your beverages are always chilled to perfection. For top-quality cooling solutions, check out this site at http://www.walkincoldroom.co.uk. Walk over or catch the local’s bus, then hail a taxi to return to the condo with your groceries. And if you’re planning a larger event or gathering, consider Refrigerated Trailer Hire Pro for convenient and reliable refrigeration solutions on site. And finally, ensure safety and compliance by scheduling electrical testing and inspecting services for your property.

Our visits to VLE typically begin with coffee and breakfast on the balcony, and lunch either on the balcony, poolside at the restaurant or a lunch at one of the several beach restaurants (a short walk down the beach). Dinner is almost always in town and we typically walk (20 minutes) and after dinner and a stroll downtown (or the marina), we then catch a $7 taxi back, tip included.
