This recently renovated, family-oriented town has no hustle-bustle feel. The downtown square has beautiful fountains, a charming gazebo and a restored Catholic church that was founded in 1730.

Just outside this serene town are several championship golf courses, great world-class fishing and pristine beaches. Costa Azul is the most well known beach area in San Jose. This is where you will find El Zalate, La Jolla, Las Mananitas, Tortuga Bay and Mykonos sprawling along the soft sandy beaches. On the mountainside, Club Campestre, the new Jack Nicklaus golf community, is maturing rapidly. The new beach clubhouse offers owners great services and amenities.

The residential neighborhoods in San Jose are clean and offer low-density areas. The Fonatur nine-hole golf course, recently purchased by Mayan Palace, has appealing, older hacienda homes and condominium developments, such as Alegranza and Cabo del Mar, built around it. On one end of San Jose is the tropical Palmilla Golf Resort and on the other is the newest marina and golf resort development, Puerto Los Cabos. Both include beachfront, ocean view home sites and luxury condos.
