Esperanza, Auberge Resorts Collection

It was my family’s 9th stay at the Esperanza, so I am clearly already partial to the property. However, I left last year feeling (and sharing) that some improvements were required, mainly to the food. One year later and, wow. Not a complaint to be had! I’ll start with the always amazing: The rooms are beautiful, property is impeccably manicured and stunning, service is simply spectacular with most of the employees having spent many years at the property. The gym is very well appointed and regular classes and activities are offered as part of your stay. The spa is lovely and Nayeli there (along with many colleagues) gives wonderful massages and other treatments. We have young children and the staff was very accommodating, as always. The adult pool is absolutely spectacular and the whales were really putting on a show! The gentlemen that attend to the pool area are top of their game and make the pool even more magical. Now, for the food. Esperanza has long been home to the spectacular Cocina Del Mar, a top Cabo restaurant. It has only improved. Every dish we tasted both times we went this trip was really delectable. The view and restaurant are magical. They had live music that was perfect. I highly recommend the desserts, all just so tasty. Our morning breakfasts were also delicious - they do breakfast right at the Esperanza! I wasn’t surprised to find Cocina Del Mar impressive, but I was pleasantly surprised with our other on-property meals. The adult pool food is perhaps better than ever, with great options for all types of eaters. The poke bowl is so good I found myself ordering it daily, but there are many other options. For dinner, Las Estrellas, the wood fired restaurant, was great. I was pleasantly surprised to see it refreshed visually and with gorgeous gardens that grow much of the produce used on property. Pizzas, salads, and wood fired sea food were all fresh and fabulous and nice to a casual yet delicious meal. Lastly: La Palapa. I had previously relegated it to only “kid meals” - some quesadillas when we need to get the kids to sit down and eat before continued swimming. But I was proved wrong! I had great salad and fish tacos on two separate occasions. It has been renovated a bit and is very beautiful with added seating and great service. We went to the taco evening and it was so lovely, with delicious grilled seafood and an array of fresh, traditional options. The dessert cart was especially fun with a churro station, candied apples, cotton candy, an array of Mexican treats and - best of all - the most wonderful coconut sorbet that is still making my mouth water. We enjoyed every on property meal thoroughly. Lastly, a cocktail / coffee bar was added where the lobby used to be, overlooking the spectacular view. This was a great addition and we enjoyed a few drinks there before dinner. Kudos to the team for continued up-leveling of the property and experiences. Though it’s hard to find things to improve, I have two suggestions.

Stayed 5 nights in the One Bedroom Oceanview Penthouse Spa Suite. We think it was probably one of the best rooms on the property at the top of one of the buildings, commanding ocean views, and the only room, we were told, with our own private elevator! It was sublime. The property itself is perfect in every way. The service, headed up by a lead concierge or butler (in our case Sebastian), were only a text away with everything we needed during the trip. We spent 3 days by the pool and rented a cabana for extra privacy and space. The pool service was flawless and we were fawned over from start to finish. Dinner at Cucina Del Mar is a fabulous experience. Top notch food, service and the views are unparalleled. But beware it is expensive. Our dinners for 2 came to $400 one night and $500 the other, with tip and plenty of drinks of course. We went into town 1 day and found it had changed so much - and not in a charming way - in the last 30 years (the last time we were in Cabo) that we just stayed at the resort for the rest of time. Esparanza is a paradise, and downtown Cabo not so much. The Esperanze is a destination unto itself and you would be hard pressed to find fault with any of its offerings. The only downside is that it's pricey, but it's top shelf.

Esperanza is the best hotel in all of Cabo. We go every year and it NEVER disappoints. The pools, the service, the food and the SPA are top notch!

We have stayed at Esperanza for about 20 times over the past years and it never disappoints. The grounds are immaculate, the service is impeccable, and the location is unbeatable. The rooms are well appointed and the staff provides excellent attention to detail. The pools are beautiful; and the assortment of restaurants provide you with outstanding options. Las Estrellas is a hidden gem and you should try the restaurant as their pizza oven delivers great pizzas! All in all, another memorable trip to Esperanza.

We absolutely love Esperanza and have been coming here for over 20 years with both family and friends. We enjoy the amazing amenities and the staff is simply the best. Every request is accomodated with a smile. You can tell they want to please you and enjoy making your stay incredibly special. We highly recommend Esperanza when you choose Cabo for your next vacation.

We travel to Cabo every three months and surprisingly have never stayed at Esperanza. The resort, service, food, and vibe far surpassed our expectations.

Everything about Esperanza was a high end experience. Service was outstanding by everyone we interacted with. Property and landscaping were beautiful and well-maintained. Pools and spa were excellent. We spent a relaxing week at Esperanza and look forward to going back!

Arturo Chiñas Palacios is the finest man. He is a butler for the villas, and he has become like family. He is punctual, thoughtful, and professional. He goes above and beyond what is required of him. He's a blessing to our family. Waiters Fernando, Javier and the others at the pool are welcoming and friendly.

Truly an incredible experience. From the staff, to the views, to the food, everything about the Esperanza is high class, luxurious and beautiful. I loved every second of our stay!
