Westin Los Cabos questions

[ptah41]

A while back there was a thread about bringing your own drinks to the pool at WKOVR. I have the same question about the Westin Los Cabos - we have never been and are wondering if that is viewed as acceptable (not a cooler but a yeti from the room).

Hi. I haven't been there in about 2 and a half years, but when I was there, I had a YETI where I kept my diet coke and ice and no one bothered me.

We were there in June and had no issues bringing drinks. Just don’t use glass cups and keep it on the down low and you’ll be fine.

No one will look in your Yeti. Someone reported this happening at WKV but we have never experienced it.

We are headed to Los Cabos for the first time on Friday. Does anyone know I’d the water at the resort is filtered or not? It seems that the tap water in the area is not really safe to drink. Just wondering if we need to buy bottled water for use in the room or not.

We have been visiting Los Cabos for over 20 years. We have stayed at 5 different timeshares to include Club Regina, which is next door. We have never had a problem with the Tap Water. We make coffee and tea. We cook with it. Some people buy multi-gallon filtered water at the Grocery Stores for drinking. But this is a taste issue not a health issue.

We do the same. We just like the taste of bottled water better. We brushed our teeth with the tap water and made ice as well. No problems.

Do you remember the kind of coffee maker? Trying to figure what kind of filters to bring.

I don’t believe I’ve ever seen anything other than basket-type filters at a Vistana property. Somebody can correct me If I’m wrong, and I haven’t stayed at every property, but over twenty years and many stays I think it’s always the basket type.

we are heading for Los Cabos tomorrow and I’ll be bringing basket filters and hoping I’m right!

Enjoy! We are headed there the 30th for the first time. If you have any tips when you get back please share!

I need to get there one of these days. We also own with Hyatt (nee Welk) and usually are down the road at Sirena Del Mar. But we drive by often and I keep thinking that I should give it a try.

I'm suddenly very confused about what room location we should expect at Westin Los Cabos.

The original confirmation email from Marriott says "The Westin Los Cabos Resort Villas" and for room type, says "2 Bedroom Larger Villa, 2 King..." So originally I thought we were going to be in the main resort with the roughly 1200 sf unit.

But on the Vistana website, the reservation says "The Westin Los Cabos Resort Villas & Spa Baja Point"; it shows a photo of Baja Point, clicking on the resort name takes me to the page for Baja Point. The room type shows as "2 Bedroom Premium Villa" – but that room type doesn't seem to exist at Baja Point. Baja Point only has a "Two-bedroom Lockoff Villa" which is 1775 sf.

Obviously I'm hoping we are at Baja Point as the website indicates, but there is lots of conflicting information. The only "Two Bedroom Premium Villa" I see is in the main property, not in Baja Point.

Is the website just screwed up and it conflates the two properties?

How did you reserve? With StarOptions? Did you reserve Baja Point? There are sometimes issues with what you see on Marriott.com. I would expect you would receive what you reserved if you reserved through Vistana.com.

I reserved a stay in Baja Point and received confirmation for a smaller villa at the Los Cabos resort and spa section. I used staroptions.
I am trying to address the issue but so far no positive result.

I reserved with SOs, although (in another strangeness) the confirmation says I used Aventuras points (which I don't even own.)

I guess I will find out when we get there... interestingly, the 2 BR unit in Baja Point has the same SO cost as the smaller 2 BR unit in the main resort. I will bring the printout that shows Baja Point and maybe try to nicely argue for it when we arrive, though I know they probably can't change whatever I've actually been assigned.

 

[ptah41]

We specifically reserved the main hotel and our confirmation does not include the Baja Point language - so likely you are there. Also the 2 bed premium layout shows the lanai with a hot tub which I think only exists at Baja point.

For what it’s worth, it turned out to be a two bedroom unit in the main resort. It’s not as big and fancy as Baja Point but it’s adequate and nice. It does have a jacuzzi on the balcony as I think they all do.
