Where did you Just Get Back from? Cabo San Lucas, Mexico
When were you in Cabo? April 2016
“This was my first time to Cabo and my expectations were quite
varied. It was a pleasant surprise to discover how easy it was to drive
myself around and how everything is mostly located off one main road.
Each hotel is an oasis escape from the surrounding desert and
mountains.”
Words to describe what you felt when you first arrived: After
picking up the rental car at the airport and starting the drive towards
the beach, I thought, “Oh God, why am I here?” As soon as I drove into
the tunnel to Pedregal though, it all clicked and I was instantly in
love. It was like being greeted by close friends welcoming me to their
home.
Where did you stay?
I stayed at the Resort at Pedregal, El Ganzo in San Jose Del Cabo, and One & Only Palmilla.
With whom would you recommend staying at these hotels? Each
hotel had a different feel; Pedregal is great for couples, but they also
have large villas for big families. El Ganzo has a younger, hipster
vibe with really cool artwork and complimentary bikes to ride into town,
which is great for people in their 20s-30s. Palmilla is romantic for
couples and honeymooners, but has large enough grounds to keep any
member of the whole family occupied.
Tempt us- Name the most special place you discovered on this trip: The
spa at Pedregal was perfection. They offer a beverage upon arrival that
changes with the lunar cycle, allow you to select from among five
aromatherapy scents, and every treatment begins with a five minute foot
massage using herbs and spices. It was so comfortable, I could have
spent hours here.
What’s the best time of year to go in your opinion? Whale watching season is considered the best time to visit, November through March. The weather in April was gorgeous.
Anything else to add?
On this trip, I was able to visit a number of other properties, each beautiful and unique.
Esperanza has an amazing new room product, like entering a luxe magazine.
Las Ventanas has outrageously large beachfront villas and some rooms offer the opportunity to sleep outside, under the stars.
The Cape is very trendy and feels like West Hollywood in Mexico. The whole hotel has great ocean views of the famous Arch.
Mar Adentro opens in October and is one to watch. It was one of the most stunningly modern places I have ever seen.
