Gary, just wanted you to know how much of eight of group from California and Colorado enjoyed our stay at your resort, Rancho De Costa. The resort was outstanding with 3 very good meals per day, relaxing under the thatched Palapa looking out on the Sea of Cortez, to swimming in the large pool, and retreating to our beautiful rooms for a good night's sleep. The staff were very friendly and helpful with all our needs...I especially enjoyed you getting us with the best fishing excursions....I caught 4 Dorado fish weighing about 20 pounds each, and one Rooster fish that weighed about 22 pounds...The chef prepared the Dorados for us and were delicious.. One of the most outstanding events was to see the sunrise on the Sea of Cortez about 6:30 in the morning.. All of us have agreed to return to your wonderful resort....

Gary,
Our stay at your place was utterly amazing. It’s a great piece of tranquility combined with what I would call Real Mexico. The privacy is unmatched with the house and the beach. It’s a piece of the old world Mexico.
The service from the staff was tremendously friendly, and the food they cooked for us was DELICIOUS from the steak and lobster to the carnitas. They also went out of their way to make our drinks.
If anyone wants a peaceful beautiful getaway, this is it! The house has all kinds of room to hold a lot of people, and it was great that you actually put in a private movie theatre.
Thank you for everything. We made memories to last a lifetime at your place!

While on one of my many trips down to Baja, it timed right for me to meet Gary while he was at Ranch de Costa. We had spoke before, but never had met in person. After driving North and arriving at Rancho, I had no idea of this little slice of paradise. The word Special does not begin to describe Ranch de Costa. From its Beautiful Beaches, the awesome pool, the Staff, the Rooms, and the Incredible View. We were treated like family and ate like King’s while we were there. We had not planned on it, but stayed the night and had a great day of fishing before we headed down to Cabo. I feel truly blessed to have had this experience.

Rancho de Costa Review
We have just returned from a six-day vacation at the Villas of Rancho de Costa. All I can say is WOW! There were eight of us ranging from 52 to 90 years of age and we all had a great time. The accommodations were great with individual suites, the food was superb ranging from spit cooked BBQ pig, fresh lobster, steak, fresh fish that we caught, and outstanding Mexican cuisine The whole scenario is wonderful. Beautiful beach, some of the worlds best fishing and snorkeling at your front door, gym and tennis court, but most of all a great place to relax with your friends. Even though we were seniors there was plenty for the whole family to do. We are looking forward to visiting Rancho de Costa next year.

"Great experience all around - property, activities, service, wea"
The villa was beautiful, we had 9 people and we all had plenty of space both inside and out. The decor in the villa was very nice, although the kitchen could use more (limited storage/Tupperware, steak knives). The view of the ocean was fantastic, we saw no less than 30 whales from our pool deck and every day the weather was perfect. We also always felt safe, never thought twice about our safety. We utilized the chef services once and wish we would have used them more, the food and service was fantastic and it really was a great value when you compare to going out to dinner. The housekeeping services were thorough and the villa support (Fernando) was very responsive and helpful, he helped coordinate many of our outdoor activities, reservations, and taxi's. One surprise - many places didn't accept credit cards so we needed more cash than we thought, and the taxi rides add up so be prepared. We would definitely return!

"Perfect!"
The tranquility, peace, roll of the ocean...all was just perfect! The location is isolated and exactly what we wanted. The house was comfortable and we felt at home. The staff couldn't have been more accommodating and efficient. The Villa has 4 bedrooms each with their own bath that accommodate a variety of family arrangements (we used the space--2 couples, a boys room for 3, and a girls' room with 4). The porch is where we spent most of our time as the kids would snorkel out back and the girls could hang out in the whirlpool. This is remote, we saw deer, rabbits, scorpions...it is the dessert--so be prepared! ;) The beach is wonderful! A combination of rocky and coral to one side and pristine sand to the other...fantastic! The stars are clear and undisturbed by city lights. I hate to give an excellent review, as I want this all for myself! We can't wait to go back!
