"This Auberge beach resort offers an elevated kids club experience for children of all ages (plus one-on-one babysitting services for the really young). At Tortuguitas, 4 to 11 year olds can make piñatas, learn to stand-up paddleboard, and work on all kinds of arts and crafts in the well-stocked clubhouse itself, while teens are kept occupied with games and bikes in a separate area. But Experanza’s offerings go much further, allowing kids to fully explore the saguaro-meets-the-sea landscapes of the southern Baja peninsula. One day they could be releasing baby turtles into the Pacific with conservation group Tortuguero Pescadero AC, the next, taking a plein air painting class or working on clay masterpieces under the guidance of a local artist. Days end with stargazing and the requisite s’mores. Tortuguitas is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily for a full-day fee of $120 and a half-day fee of $75." - Michelle Baran
