Fodor's Expert Review Esperanza

Carretera Transpeninsular, Km. 7, The Corridor, Baja California Sur, 23410, Mexico Fodor's Choice

One of the most exquisite resorts in Los Cabos, focused on privacy and impeccable service, and home to one of the best spas in the region, Esperanza is true luxury. With 59 casitas and suites, and 96 villas with ocean and garden views, Esperanza provides residential-style accommodations best for families and groups. Accommodations range from 925 to 4,000 square feet and include handcrafted Mexican-style furnishings, Frette linens, and massive bathrooms with dual-head showers and balcony-set Jacuzzis. In-room amenities include flat-screen televisions with Chromecast, all-natural rubber Harmony yoga mats, and Esperanza's signature bath line made with organic ingredients. Villas take the luxe even further, as some have private pools and butler service. Californian and Mexican recipes get a Baja twist in atmospheric Cocina del Mar, and other property restaurants, while guests can be found relaxing at all hours at the chic alfresco "The Lounge" just above the pool. The spa takes treatments to a whole new level, with steam caves, and a waterfall, as well as visiting instructors, and a regular schedule of classes. Framed by a rocky cove, the resort's location makes the beach virtually private since it can't be accessed other than through the property itself.
