Digital Nomads on a Night Out - Great Views, Music, and Drinks!
When we went to the Cape Hotel we’d been in Cabo San Lucas staying at an AirBnB for about a week and a half. We’re digital nomads and can work from anywhere, so, this isn’t vacation: just a different place to work from. However, you want to chill out and have fun every now and then!
The entire experience of the Rooftop Bar was pretty great - except for one thing which I’ll get to later.
When you get to the entrance road, watch for the bug stone plinth that says Thompson Hotel - The Cape and all the restaurants on it. Apple Maps wanted us to turn a bit later and that would have been a mistake. The road down makes it look like you have to snag a parking spot but just keep going - all the way to the first hotel then stay to the right to the gate.
You need a reservation to get in and they’ll check to make sure you’re on this list. Once that’s done you can go through the gate. There really isn’t any parking. It’s all valet. But, you’re about to spend over $150 US on drinks and snacks; you can do the valet!
The think I love about the bottom floor of The Cape is that it’s all open and everywhere has a great view of the bay and the Cabo Arch. If you’re a bit early for your reservation, stop and hang out a bit. Or do it after.
You can take the first set of elevators or the second. The second allows you to walk through the area and exits you right out at the entrance.
We were taken through and had a great table, a high top, right on the glass wall with an amazing view of the bay, the arch, and all the people and boat watching.
Our waiter was there right away and got us sorted with waters (bottled) and a couple of drinks. We didn’t have anything we didn’t like. We also ordered a few small plates and shared them. The portions are not generous, but, you’re not really there for dinner.
While we were eating a small musical act was setting up. It was a guy on guitar and a young woman with a great signing voice. It was very “lounge-style” but that fit the atmosphere and was really nice.
My only complaint is that after desert, when we were ready to leave, our waiter, or anyone, was really had to find. Not sure if it was shift change or what. We ended up flagging down just anyone so we could pay the bill and leave.
On the way out we checked out the views from the large area to the east on the top floor and took the east elevators down. Valet had the car out quickly and we left very satisfied.
