Hacienda Encantada
Cabo is an incredible destination and after multilple visits to this beautiful location, an all inclusive resort was exactly what I wanted to explore. Something relaxing and special with party possibilities nearby. A short trip from Downtown Cabo San Lucas and right on Millionaire’s Row is Los Cabos’ best kept secret, La Hacienda Encantada Resort and Spa - A beautiful beachfront and cliff top hacienda style property with 150 Suites, 7 delicious restaurants, infinity pools, outdoor jacuzzis, and 24 conceirge services. Im welcomed to my room with a fresh order of Guacamole and instantly they own my heart. This truly is like having your own luxury vacation home. I take a walk over to the balcony to discover the panorama with the Sea of Cortez in the background and views of the Land’s End arch to my right. We’re immediately called to a delicious dinner and then we’re off to bed to be well rested for the morning’s spa treatement.
The Milagro Holistic Spa offers everything from the Temazcal (a native “house of steam” health ritual meant to heal all physical, spiritual, mental and moral ailments) to meditation. I opt for the Mayan Massage in the Spa and Im left feeling incredibly euphoric - but how else are you supposed to feel when you’re getting rubbed down from head to toe.
For dinner we take the free shuttle to the Golden Zone where we’re greated at their sister property, Marina Fiesta, and the restaurants are included in your stay...
Marina fiesta If being in the middle of the hype is more your style, this is the place to be. Located in the yacht filled Marina downtown Cabo San Lucas, the restort lives up to its party name. We walk through their courtyard where the pool is filled with sexy swimmers enjoying a cocktail from the swim up bar. We leave the resort to stroll down luxury avenue and while we don’t make it into the casino to gamble before dinner, we do manage to squeeze in a shot from the famous Cabo party capital, El Squid Roe.
Dinner was on the Marina at Los Deseos, and while it’s part of the all-inclusive, it’s also open to any passerby that’s intrigued by the flaming tres queso tequila appetizer. The entire dinner was a proper show with hand crafted drinks and incredible service. We were even serenaded by a mariachi which added a nice kick to the tequila. Los Cabos has done so much to quickly repair after the category 3 Hurricane Odile hit the destination back in September. It’s incredible to see it back on its feet and still the leader in adventures like whale watching, swimming with dolphins, zip linning, camel rides, 4 wheeling, and luxury sailing.
