Hotel Information: Situated amid rugged desert mountains, this Baja resort resembles a tranquil seaside village. Daily life centers around swimming pools and spa tubs, with separate pool areas for the couples and families the resort attracts.
Amenity highlights: Surrounded by sundecks furnished with cushioned teak lounges and umbrellas, a family complex features a 9-meter-diameter (30-ft) spa tub and three heated pools, with toddlers' and children's sections, and waterfalls located in two connected pools and a swim-up bar in a separate activities pool. Cushioned teak lounges also border a separate, heated beachfront pool and 6-meter-diameter (20-ft) spa tub--both reserved for adults.
Insider tip: For surfcasting off the beach, the resort's activity desk can arrange fishing-equipment rentals.

Recreation
A 53-meter-long (175-ft) family complex features a 9-meter-diameter (30-ft) spa tub and three heated pools, with distinct toddlers' and children's sections, and waterfalls located in two connected pools and a swim-up bar in a separate activities pool.

The Cabo San Lucas resort lies on an enormous Pacific Ocean beach fringing the Baja Peninsula's tip. While ideal for strolling and observing sealife, the beach does not provide for safe swimming because of powerful undertows. Safe swimming and water sports are available at Médano Beach on the Sea of Cortez 2.25 km (1.5 mi) away.
Aerobics, yoga, and Pilates classes (surcharges) are offered in a wood-floor studio that's part of the resort's adults-only fitness center (surcharge), which contains cardio machines, weight machines, and free weights. Use of a tennis court is complimentary in daylight, with a surcharge for after-dark play under the lights. Whale-watching excursions are widely available from Cabo San Lucas during the January-March migration of gray whales.
Bordered by high rock walls and featuring undulating greens, fountain ponds, and a shaded bar, a 9-hole, artificial-grass putting course (surcharge) lies outside a golf pro shop, where clubs can be rented. The pro shop contains a 26-course golf simulator (surcharge). Distances to Los Cabos's principal golf courses are: The Raven Golf Club 3.5 km (2.25 mi); Cabo del Sol golf courses 11.5 km (7.25 mi); Cabo Real Golf Course 21.5 km (13.5 mi); Palmilla Golf Course 27.5 km (17.25 mi).
