We were two families with three younger teens between us, looking to vacation during east coast K-12 (not college) spring break (the week before Easter, the week of Passover). In researching, San Jose del Cabo seemed to match our desire to relax and get away without plunging us or our younger kids into the Cabo party scene (at 15, they can't and over 50, we can't like we used to...) Casa Maat obviously came highly rated and recommended, and we loved that it was not a timeshare resort. We were a little concerned that the hybrid-AI would be unnecessarily cumbersome, but prices were attractive or our week, so we booked it. The resort was fairly empty, so there was no difficulty with chairs, certainly not on the Casa Maat side of the wall (show in the picture as the Griffin wing), nor on the JW side. PROS: ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING SERVICE! ZITLALI, ADRIAN, MONSERRAT, ANTONIO As many others have attested, the PEOPLE make this resort wonderful! SPECIAL MENTIONS: Zitlali, Adrian, Monserrat, and Antonio, all working at the Myama Lounge and Casa Maat pool. My goodness- these have to be the most delightful, hardest working servers in SJD. Zitlali took the time to learn each guest's name and remembered us day to day. We just got back yesterday and we MISS THEM SO MUCH! Butler service is part of Casa Maat, but aside from a few minor requests, we did not have much need to avail ourselves of their services. I'm sure if we were chartering excursions or needing nightly transportation, they would've been wonderful. They were exceptionally responsive to our few requests-- connected by WhatsApp, they are truly there at guests' fingertips. (Our team was Francisco, Abraham, Jesús, and Ricardo) CASA MAAT INCLUSIONS = WORTH IT FOR US! The nightly themed dinners have been described as everything from "light" to "just a cup of soup." They were three courses and plenty of food, even for teenagers, as long as they're willing to try a few things interesting and different. I will add the menu from our week in the photos. It was certainly filling enough for us the nights we did not leave the property. I had a shrimp allergy and they handled it seamlessly. I wish we'd been more creative and discerning with the premium happy hour each night from 6:00-8:00. They can make absolutely anything and the drinks were very good. (Note my comment on the daytime drinks from Kaha Bar below). Domestic beers (Modelo, Corona, Tecate, Dos Equis), decent wines, all water, sodas- Adrian, Antonio, and Zitlali kept icy drinks of all kinds flowing throughout the day. Breakfast was plentiful (just a tad repetitive). The woman who made smoothies April 13-16 whose name I neglected to get was OUTSTANDING. Again, I wish I'd been more creative! They can make anything. Eggs or omelettes to order were a great way to start the day. They do offer tasty sandwiches, though no one announces this or offers them to you. You must go to the Mayma Lounge (where the pastries are at breakfast) and se
