"Perched on a rocky hillside with dramatic ocean views and the only private beach in Los Cabos, the resort offers five serene pools, five restaurants, and a desert-inspired, palapa-topped spa that draws on ancestral principles. Rooms skew residential (entry-level casitas start at 925 square feet with indoor-outdoor living areas, soaking tubs, and large terraces with hammocks), and higher-tier suites, haciendas, and villas can include infinity-edge hot tubs or private plunge pools. The property emphasizes elevated design and privacy, provides both valet and self-service parking, allows up to two pets under 40 pounds (fee applies), and carries a top-tier price point." - Emily Hochberg Emily Hochberg Emily Hochberg is a writer and editor with over 15 years of experience specializing in travel, lifestyle, home, parenting, and reviews.

"A luxurious resort in Cabo San Lucas, known for its stunning seaside views, exquisite dining options, and relaxing atmosphere, perfect for a fly-and-flop getaway."
"A private beach resort with world-class amenities and spacious rooms." - CNT Editors
"The only private beach resort in Los Cabos, Esperanza couldn't feel further from the freewheeling streets of downtown Cabo San Lucas (though it's only a 15-minute drive, in case a craving for cheap strawberry-mango margaritas strikes). This 57-room hotel sits right on the rocky Cabo coast, meaning every room, suite, and infinity pool—several room categories come with their own—promises stellar views, and a constant soundtrack of crashing waves. Inside, the rooms have a soothing blend of crisp white linens, light wood-beamed ceilings, and massive windows, and are all spacious enough to spend the day in. But with a world-class spa, fitness center (which also offers a full schedule of workout classes), and experiences that include sea foraging and a tequila tasting course, you'd rarely be tempted to do so."
