"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."
"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
