The take
The Take
The Vibe
The Cape presents a boutique, design-forward interpretation of Baja hospitality that leans on surf culture and midcentury Southern California references. Public spaces mix casual, playful touches, a pool table and vintage surf photography, with considered details like hand-painted tile and copper bathtubs, creating a stylish but approachable mood. The property’s smaller scale and attention to materials make it feel intimate; architecture, light and coastal context shape its personality.
Best For
The Cape is best for travelers seeking a design-led, coastal escape that balances leisure and style. Its boutique scale and location on Monuments Beach make it especially appealing for couples and small groups who value architectural character, surf-adjacent activity and dramatic Pacific views. The hotel’s emphasis on F&B identity and crafted interiors also suits guests who want an experience-focused stay rather than a sprawling resort. It works well as a weekend retreat or a romantic getaway where scenery, thoughtful design and a relaxed, surf-inflected atmosphere are the priorities.
Stay Tips
When booking, request a Pacific-facing room to maximize the hotel’s most distinctive asset: outward views toward the open Pacific and El Arco. Its orientation shapes surf conditions and room light, and an ocean-facing accommodation delivers the strongest sense of place. Given the hotel’s boutique scale and design focus, mention any room-preference notes about bathtubs or specific design elements if they matter to you, and expect an intimate F&B program.

Hotel context
How it compares in Cabo San Lucas
The Cape, A Thompson Hotel is the sharper pick if the brief is design-forward luxury with enough polish for a work trip or adult celebration. Esperanza, Auberge Resorts Collection is the better fit for travelers who want a more enveloping resort stay, while Hacienda Encantada Resort & Residences is the easier value comparison if budget control matters more than recognition.
For travelers focused on the Cabo del Sol side of the trip, Four Seasons Resort and Residences Cabo San Lucas at Cabo Del Sol and Cabo del Sol make more sense logistically. Choose The Cape when the stay needs a strong hotel identity near Cabo San Lucas rather than a location built around Cabo del Sol specifically.
If the full hotel is hard to book or more than the trip requires, The Rooftop at The Cape, a Thompson Hotel is the smarter cross-shop for atmosphere without committing to the whole property. For a complete luxury stay, The Cape is the more convincing choice; for a single evening plan, the rooftop is the cleaner move.
