Cabo San Lucas, Mexico
$1,200-2,500+/ yö

Varaa tämä, jos You want the drama of Big Sur cliffs mixed with Baja luxury and don't care if you can't actually swim in the ocean.

Miksi ihmiset rakastuvat sitä

  • The dramatic cliffside setting at Punta Ballena (Whale Point) is unmatched in Cabo
  • Cocina del Mar offers one of the most spectacular dining views in the world
  • Every single room has an ocean view, so there's no 'bad' assignment

Pikakatsaus: It’s a masterclass in barefoot luxury, but be prepared to pay $30 for a burger and $50 for two drinks by the pool.

Arvioinut @SoloTravelBestie: I stayed in this ocean-view casita and it was pure paradise. The way the terrace opens up to the sea is unreal—I spent hours in that hammock just watching the waves. The bathroom view alone is worth the trip.

  • You are a foodie who prioritizes atmosphere and view over budget

“I would love a room on an upper floor with a direct, unobstructed ocean view. Please avoid units that require 'turning your head' to see the water, and prioritize a quiet location away from the main pool foot traffic.”

FAQ & Piilotut vinkit

Kaikki mitä haluat todella tietää ennen varaamista.

Can I swim in the ocean at Esperanza?

No. The beach is rocky and the currents are dangerous. You can look, but don't touch. Use the pools or take the shuttle to Chileno Bay.

Is the food expensive?

Yes, very. Expect New York or LA prices plus 30% in taxes and fees. A casual lunch for two can easily hit $150.

Is it kid-friendly?

Surprisingly, yes. There are family villas and a kids' club, but the overall vibe leans heavily towards romantic couples.

How far is it from the airport?

About 30-40 minutes from San Jose del Cabo (SJD) airport. Private transfer is recommended.

Is there a resort fee?

Yes, there is a 15% service fee on the room rate, plus a $4.50/day environmental fee, on top of the 16% VAT and 4% lodging tax.

What is the pet policy?

Pet-friendly! Dogs are welcome for a $125 fee per stay. They even have a special pet menu.

Sisäpiirin vinkit

  • ✨

    Ask for a 'Mexican Lemonade' upon arrival—it's a refreshing signature welcome drink.

  • ✨

    The 'Spa at Esperanza' was recently refreshed in late 2023; ignore older reviews saying it's 'tired'.

  • ✨

    Head to 'Alma' between 6am-2pm for the best coffee and pastries on property.

5 asiaa, jotka sinun pitää tietää ennen matkaasi

  • 💡The 'Acropolis View': Some 'Ocean View' rooms require you to lean out and turn your head to actually see the ocean.

  • 💡The 'Chair Wars': On busy holiday weekends, guests have been known to reserve pool chairs as early as 7 AM.

  • 💡The wind: Punta Ballena means 'Whale Point', and it sticks out into the ocean, so it can get quite breezy on the cliffs.

  • 💡The bugs: Despite the desert setting, mosquitoes can be an issue at dusk—use the bug spray provided in the room.

  • 💡The shuttle: The free ride to Chileno Bay is a huge perk that many guests forget to use for a 'two-resort' experience.
