TAKE SIESTA IN CABO

Escape to Cabo for a weekend in luxury. Nestled at the tip of the Baja Peninsula this Hollywood hot spot has become known for its plush waterfront resorts, relaxing beaches, incredible margaritas, and championship golf courses.
From beds on the beach to euphoric tequila, Cabo is a playground paradise.

Where to Stay:
Las Ventanas and One & Only Palmilla are drenched in luxury and well worth the price, however Cabo offers a variety of resorts. A very affordable option that is luxurious and perfect for the younger set is Pueblo Bonito Pacifica www.pueblobonito.com. With huge opulent beds on the beach, a holistic spa, minimalist décor, and large suites, Pacifica is nestled on the Pacific side of Cabo where the waves are so magnificent that people sit on the beach at sunset and just watch. Something many people do not know about Cabo is there are only a few places where you can get in the water because the waves have such a powerful riptide. The heart of Cabo is just a 5 minute shuttle away. You can use the resort’s shuttle that leaves every hour on the hour or you can grab a taxi. However, you will most likely not want to leave the resort. http://www.pueblobonitopacifica.com/

What To Do:
There are plenty of water activities in Cabo, when booking your trip ask your travel agent about snorkeling and deep sea fishing, so that these are already booked for you before you get there. It makes for a very easy trip. The snorkeling tours are amazing you will see angel fish, parrot fish, and many more, while also enjoying meals and cocktails. Cabo is known for its Marlin, so set aside a day so you can charter a boat and get your catch of the day. There are also services through your charter company that will help you ship the fish back to the United States.

Where To Eat:
You do not want to miss these top 5 authentic Cabo dining experiences:
1. Mi Casa – a huge thatched restaurant with divine enchiladas and potent margaritas. After one visit it will be evident why people go on hiatus in Mexico. This is also where Jennifer Aniston spent New Years Eve '06!
2. The Office – eat right on the beach, this popular dining destination is a must serving up Baja crabs, shrimp enchiladas, and delicious frozen concoctions.
3. Panchos –named after Pancho Villa this hole in the wall Mexican restaurant has the best Chile Relleno in the world and boasts over 500 varieties of tequila. In fact, if you want a tequila that they do not have, your meal is on the house!
4. Esperenza – known as Gwyneth’s fave hotel, this resort also boats an incredible restaurant with gourmet Mexican cuisine. You sit overlooking the water as the waves crash. www.esperanzaresort.com
5. Las Ventanas Sea Grille – this maybe the most expensive meal you have ever had, but this 7 course meal with authentic Mexican ingredients is amazing. Started off with a tequila sampling and fresh guacamole, followed with decadent entrée after decadent entrée. The Sea Grille makes for a romantic atmosphere because it is positioned out on a deck open to the night sky and windows all around. www.lasventanas.com

Things You Should Know:
1. Do not talk to strangers – they are trying to sell you something the minute you step off the plane from timeshares to drugs to jewelry.
2. Tell people you are 25 so they do not harass you about timeshares (apparently you have to be 26 to take advantage).
3. Stock up on tequila – because bottles are so inexpensive there!
4. The margaritas are absolutely incredible, but very potent!
5. Look before you swim because in almost all areas of Cabo, the powerful riptide of the waves makes the water not swimmable. (However there are several swimming beaches (like Lover's Beach when you're feeling hot, hot, hot) and plenty of places for snorkeling.)
