It was our 3rd trip to beautiful Cabo San Lucas. Our previous trips we stayed at a pricey resort off of Medano Beach. During our last visit everyone kept recommending Casa Rafaels for the restaurant. My husband and brother in law went when the restaurant was closed but asked to see the rooms The owner showed them the rooms without... more

I loved this little hotel on the only swimming beach in Cabo. Friendly staff and clean rooms that were large and charmingly decorated. Bring your cell phone though, I had no phone in my room. The pool is small but clean, my daughter actually learned to swim there. I guess it is a lap pool. There are animals everywhere, but... more

This hotel is very charming! Staff is very helpful (Jorge is great). The only drawback is the noise from construction and occasionally from the piano bar downstairs. Food at the in-house restaurant is very good, too. Location is great: views of Land's End from the hotel or and from the beach. It is a 2 minute walk to Medano Beach... more

We stayed here a few weeks ago and had mixed feelings about the hotel. Great location for beach and town. Really, a very charming place if that's what you're looking for. The staff seemed a little burnt out probably after a busy season. Some of the other drawbacks were due to it being the off season. There was some maintenance... more

I loved Casa Rafael - it had character that many of the larger hotels lack. The owner and hotel manager were attentive and friendly. It is one block to a great beach and only one block to the Marina/town. They have wireless for free and jugs of water to feel your water bottle. The pool is quaint and perfect if... more

Me and my boyfriend went here for a 5 day vacation and it was the best place ever! This place gives you a good feeling. It's not like any other hotel with a ton of rooms and people everywhere. It's very secluded, but right by everything you need....set right behind the beach with a beautiful view. All of the staff... more

I stayed at Casa Raphael's in February 2005. Casa Raphael's is not "luxury" as the website might suggest. It is also not what I would call "boutique" - it is a kitsch(ie) hotel in need of some updating. It is a hotel for those that want convenience and a nightly rate that is reasonable. ($75-100). It was renovated in the... more

I went to Cabos last September and had a great time! When I was looking at Casa Rafael's website, i was iffy about staying there and wanted a nice resort, but my friends who've been there before assured me that the place was decent. When we arrived, we found a gecko in our bathroom. When someone came to remove it,... more

Casa Rafael, after the owner, Rafael Arraut, is a neat little hotel and terrific restaurant next to Medano beach and 5 minutes from night life. Four of us (2 adults and 2 grown children) stayed there in July 2003 and had a delightful experience. The 10 guest rooms are not numbered, they are named. We stayed in Cecilia, a 2-level... more
