Most of the units offer free long distance phone service to the United States as well as wi-fi and premium Dish network channels. Be sure to confirm the amenities of each unit before making reservations to ensure it meets your criteria. The East Cape is well known for it's world class Marlin and sport fishing that begins at the dock just a short walk from your back door.

Blue, black and striped marlin as well as sailfish, dorado,shark, and yellow fin tuna are caught  in these waters during their prospective seasons. Extreme wind surfing and kite boarding bring visitors from all over the world to catch the wind.

A quaint friendly safe community that is reminiscent of Cabo San Lucas thirty years ago before progress found it. Ride ATV's up the beach, to the desert waterfalls or to the amazing snorkeling spots all just a short journey away.
















The activities center has a wide range of opportun-ities to choose from including the zip lines at the canyons just outside Los Barriles.  Scuba dive or snorkel over the only coral reef in the Sea of Cortez at the Cabo Pulmo national park. The area teams with wild life. Whale sharks spend time 
at the park in the winter months. Whale watching is a popular activity with many kinds migrating here. Pilot, gray and humpback whales are regularly seen swim-ming off shore. Sea turtles lay their eggs right in front of the Villas and then the hatchlings make their trek to the sea forty five to 74 days later.

The town has modern grocery stores, a gas station, 
two medical clinics and two banks. The East Cape has a variety of restaurants to choose from with
authentic dishes that are truly an epicurean delight.
Dine on the deck overlooking the Sea of Cortez while
feasting on authentic fresh Mexican and American cuisine at the gourmet restaur-ant just a few feet out your door. If you watch closely you often see the sting rays and dolphin jumping from the water while you sit at the swim up cabana bar that makes some of the best drinks in the Baja. We would like to invite you to  make the Villas de Cortez your home while staying in the Baja. We hope you enjoy this site and it is helpful to you when planning your Baja experience.
