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.

All I can say is the best resort I ever been great staff easy experience and the views are breathtaking I would recommend this hotel to everyone !

The views from the pool, restaurants and the beach were all amazing! The resort was immaculately clean. The service was terrific! This resort will be hard to beat! Lots of little extras throughout the stay. You won’t be disappointed!

More than outstanding. This was our 8th or 9th visit in the past 6 year. We'd buy a place there if it were not for the fact, we have 5 dogs at home:) Can't say enough good things about this place.

Fantastic staff and great property. Loved it. Beautiful, great pool options, not wild nor loud. Well located.

I have a very high bar and this resort is stellar in every way possible! Might be the most relaxing pool on the planet. Service, food, location, etc all over the top!!

Our week at Esperanza was great. The property is beautiful, with great views of the Sea of Cortez. All of the staff are so friendly and make you feel at home. They greet you by name and remember your likes and dislikes.. Each of the Villas have a butler assigned to take care of you. From checking on you each days to see if they can do anything for you to helping you with dinner reservations and daily activities. The personalized service is a great plus.

This was my 4th stay at The Esperanza and it never disappoints. We now take our entire family and stay at the villas. The resort is beautiful . The staff is welcoming, attentive and the service is amazing. There are 2 adult pools and 2 family pools. There are 4 restaurants. We don't even leave the property. Don't miss the Fiesta on Wednesday night that ends with a fireworks display.

This was my first time staying at Esperanza, and was there for four days for a wedding. This place was amazing from the hotel, beach, pools, restaurants, but most importantly, the staff. Everybody was great! I can’t wait to return for our next stay.
