This place is truly incredible. The beauty of it is not done justice from the pictures, you have to see it in person to experience. I loved that it was super quiet, private the rooms are huge and come with TV, microwave, couch and fridge. We were nicely welcomed by Irma and everyone there was incredibly polite and respectful. Very affordable and delicious restaurant built in the hotel, Their tiramisu is to die for. If I were to go back to Cabo I’m staying at the blarney inn again and again. 100/100 they deserve all of the stars

Comfortable bed and it was nice to have a full kitchen but wouldn't recommend for light sleepers. You can hear a lot of what is going on in the other rooms, even though there are only 6 rooms in the hotel. The pool and hot tub was the best part about the hotel, but the hot tub needs a lot more than the advertised 15 minutes to heat up. If you are planning on walking from the hotel to downtown Cabo, it is quite a trek up a very steep hill.

A MUST STAY for your trip to Cabos!
My stay here was amazing. I was a bit skeptical about booking here at first because it seemed a bit distant from the marina and the beaches, but I was wrong. Walking distance to everything and everywhere. I actually appreciated the privacy and quietness compared to a larger resort. Irma, Ryan, and Brian were extremely friendly and helpful and made me and my partner feel like at home. The rooms are big! Although we didn’t use the kitchen, living room area, or our private patio, we didn’t feel cramped up like as in your average hotel room. The exterior was clean and beautiful and had an amazing view or the city and the marina. We took a quick swim in the clean and refreshing pool which was relaxing. Overall, a 10 out of 10. I’d recommend to anyone and would stay here again on my next trip to Cabos.

I really liked the inn and it’s location. It was a beautiful and perfect place to stay away from the huge crowds of people by the typical resorts/hotels. It also gave us more opportunities to explore downtown shops and restaurants. If walking is difficult then one can order a ride to and from the inn. We generally walked downtown for all of our meals so lots of walking. We also ate a couple of dinners at the Italian restaurant on site.

We LOVED this property but weren't too thrilled with the very steep incline drive. There wasn't really any place to walk to nearby for food or to pick up some beer & bring back. The bartenders at La Luna next door were very helpful by selling us beer on ice along with condiments. LOTS of steps to climb but absolutely gorgeous views, especially in the evening! Bummer that the jacuzzi wasn't working. Great & helpful staff with very reasonable rates...

very nice place
We loved our stay. The bed was comfortable, the balcony was gorgeous, and the shower was great. We appreciated the big container of water for drinking. The only things that weren't perfect were that the drain in the bathroom was slow and there were these tiny little spider-like bugs on the kitchen counter that we saw one morning. The lights were also a bit dim.

What’s not to love about this place. It is a hidden gem.Located up on the hill with ocean view and a view of the city. Bryan, the owner, Ryan , his nephew and Irmaat the reception are the main folks running the show are very friendly and helpful. The Hotel is beautiful and quiet, very relaxing. Uber is easily available to go anywhere and Uber eats will get food delivered. Would definitely revisit the hotel. A hidden gem.

Such a wonderful stay! It’s like you own private resort! Great view, the rooms are better in person, the restaurant is gorgeous. My fiancé lost her credit card downtown and the wonderful lady at the front desk called around and found it for us and then drove me down to pick it up. Could not say enough about this place.

We used the Castillo (nice architecture theme) as a base to explore the area. Great location if you want to stay away from the tourist noise. With a small car is easy access up the Pedregal 'hills'. Stunning views, sunsets & sunrises! very peaceful and quiet evenings at the swimming pool deck & spa. Some construction noise around in the afternoons when we stayed, but we were out exploring and didn't bother us. Don't miss a dinner at the top restaurant terrace at sunset, priceless!
Response from Ryan Evans, General Manager on Mar 26, 2023
Thank you so much for your helpful review! We pride ourselves at being one of the only hotels that is far enough away from downtown to avoid the noise and traffic, but also close enough to have easy access. We are also happy you experienced our onsite italian restaurant luna italiana. We hope to have you again!

Property was very well maintained. The associates were wonderful, everything worked as expected no poor substandard issues. Other than the workers updating the property we totally enjoyed our stay. The worker did do there best to minimize the inconvenience. We were still very pleased with the hotel and would recommend it to anyone who has a car to come and go as the hotel is on the hilltop and it can be a steep walk up. However you are reasonably close to the marina and and there are many shops and restaurants on the way.

Well let me start off by saying if you do not have a car you will be spending about 15-20 a day on ubers. You will not want to stay at their pool during the day. Unless you are traveling with a group and you are all staying there it is way boring. No bartender so bring your own. Pool was kinda dirty and construction is going on there and all around. You cant walk to many places either. Dirt road is unsafe with dogs running around. Very steep on road going up as well. The uber drivers weren't very happy. Not safe without good shoes and even for the fittest of fit its definitely a hard walk. Beds were comfortable but no TV by the beds which is very weird in my opinion. The restaurant Luna Italiano is decent but if you aren't staying at hotel near not worth the aggravation. Staff was nice but not around very much and the room is very limited with supplies (papertowels none and not alot of cups and plates) all in all i wouldn't stay again because i like being closer to marina. We had friends at other hotels so when by them everyday.

Dear Lisa, We are very surprised to hear about your unhappy stay. Upon your check in, we apologized for any inconveniences that the renovations might cause. We are pleased to announce that our remodelling is nearly complete. We have our front desk staffed from 8am to 8pm as well as 24 hour security. We wish you would have come to us during your 7 day stay and allowed us the opportunity to immediately address and/or assist you with your issues and concerns, unfortunately we cannot assist you after the fact. Most of our guests come to us not wanting the loud and crowded resort atmosphere and prefer to enjoy the peace and privacy that our hotel provides. We provide pool bar services upon request and were unaware that this was something that you desired. Our pool is professionally cleaned twice a week, as well as maintained and filtered 12 hours daily. Our sandy colored pebble rock surface perhaps was mistaken for a silt look. Calle Los Delfines and Boulevard Miguel Angel Herrera are paved and there are varying routes to town avoiding dirt roads and neighborhoods. We encourage our guests to direct Ubers and taxis to our paved parking lot from paved Delfines street which is easy, accessible and well known. If your Uber drivers were unpleasant, the Uber app has a complaint option. Most hotels and resorts do not offer full equipped kitchens. We are proud to provide our guests with fully equipped kitchens that are stocked with dishes, flatware, cookware, dish soap and dish towels for the amount of guests occupying the room. We also offer housekeeping daily. Additional cleaning services, and kitchen supplies are also available upon request. Our on-site restaurant, Luna Italiana, has some of the best panoramic views in all of Cabo. We have a secure paved parking lot that is a short 5 min drive or taxi from the Marina. Most of our guests are more than happy to be out of the noise and foot traffic to find peace, serenity, exquisite views, good food and service as well as a unique Cabo dining experience. Again, we encourage all of our guests to come to us directly with any requests or complaints during your visit to allow us the opportunity to assist with addressing issues or concerns in order to help make your stay with us more enjoyable.

We have stayed at many all inclusive resorts in Cabo and even though Castillo Blarney is NOT all inclusive it was a far better experience. Very spacious rooms, service is top notch and nice hiking trails right in the back. Beautiful ocean view with nice breezes. They even offer in room covid tests if needed.

Lovely property!
We had a fantastic time at Castillo Blarney! The location is perfect; close enough to walk into town and for a cheap Uber ride back home, but far enough away to NOT have to deal with the noise and party scene of downtown Cabo. The entire front desk staff speaks perfect English and was able to help us get rides too and from the airport and arrange the necessary Covid test before departure. The room was quite large, with a beautiful view of Cabo and the ocean and a very comfy bed. After seeing a little bit of the surrounding area, I'm very happy I booked Castillo Blarney and would do it again, if I were to return to Cabo.

We so enjoyed our stay at Blarney Castle. Beautiful view from this location high upon the hill overlooking the city. Nice big balcony, accommodating and super friendly staff to answer any questions and direct you, beautiful landscaped grounds, spacious rooms with polished concrete countertops. We enjoyed our little walk within the immediate neighborhood and to the Marina everyday but some with knee/mobility issues may prefer to just take a 3 minute Uber to the downtown area—- this beautiful view comes with a steep incline. We enjoyed it to work off our daily intake of tacos and tequila. Super clean! I’d stay here again in a heartbeat!!!
