Esperanza, cabo san lucas, Mexico - ShapeYourLife News
Shape, April, 2004 by Katy Koontz
Located at the tip of Mexico's Baja Peninsula, this romantic resort overlooks an 825-foot sand-and-pebble beach on the Sea of Cortez.
You'll feel like a star lounging poolside while the attentive staff keeps you cool with complimentary aloe ice cubes and fresh fruit, but for ultimate pampering, book an appointment at the Spa at Esperanza. Our top pick: the Seaside Cuatro Manos, which includes a simultaneous, full-body massage by two therapists; a hair and scalp treatment; and foot revitalizer ($188 for 90 minutes).
Work up a hunger at Esperanza's fitness center, or venture off-site for scuba diving (from $115 for three hours), surfing ($65 for three hours), snorkeling or kayaking (each $50 for three hours). Afterward, kick off the evening with the hotel's tequila-tasting class (Tuesdays and Saturdays at 6 p.m.; $32), then feast on authentic Mexican fare in the main restaurant. Be sure to stick around for dessert, as well as the live mariachi band that plays nightly at the outdoor bar.
From $575 per night; spa treatments from $63 (866-311-2226, esperanzaresort.com)
