Romantic Luxury In Los Cabos
"May I clean your sunglasses sir?"
My girlfriend Sylvia and I exchanged quizzical looks at the poolside request from the resort employee—we had only arrived that day and had not yet fallen into deep relaxation mode. Soon enough though, our every care had melted away as we allowed ourselves to be swallowed up by the sumptuous environment.
Exclusive yet friendly, fun yet sophisticated, stylish yet playful, Las Ventanas may be in danger of being all things to all people. Indeed, it's as close to the perfect vacation experience as many travelers are wont to have.
Las Ventanas al Paraiso (The Windows on Paradise) is a haven of beauty and luxury between Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo at the tip of Mexico’s Baja Peninsula. From the moment we stepped through the crowd of taxi touts at the airport and into our waiting luxury car and were handed bottles of cold water and mints for the short 20-minute drive to the resort, we knew that we were in for a treat.
We were invited to have lunch by the poolside Sea Grill while our room was prepared. The ceviche was outstanding, and the main courses were prepared with flair and style. Oh, and they tasted great too. This was our first exposure to the resort’s legendary attention to service, and though the staff set the bar high to begin with, they consistently surprised us with their friendliness of spirit.
Likewise, our room exceeded our high expectations. The designer clearly had an impeccable eye for details in the furnishing and finishings, and attention to the little things (like soaps, shampoos, and the aromatherapy candles we selected each evening). The view from our patio, looking out over the pool, beach, and ocean, was outstanding, and on the top level we enjoyed our own private rooftop terrace. Perfect for a sundowner cocktail or a cold Pacifico. From the top, we considered our favored position: the whitewashed exteriors blended beautifully into the landscape, while the azure waters provided a stark contrast to the parched desert. The staff would even arrange private rooftop dining by request.
In keeping with its reputation as a premier destination resort, Las Ventanas offers a top shelf dining experience along with all the other amenities. In a word, there is no need to pay for a ridiculously overpriced taxi to head into Cabo San Lucas or San Jose del Cabo. Instead, relax and stick around, confident that you’re getting the best that fusion Baja-Mediterranean cuisine has to offer. The service was impeccable, the views outstanding, the live piano and jazz soothing, and the dishes sumptuous. The seafood was fresh, the filet mignon tender and flavorful, the pasta slightly al dente, and the desserts delicious.
Each day we would arise with grand plans to explore more of the area, such as ambling through San Jose del Cabo, going saltwater fishing, or renting a couple of sea kayaks. However, each day we would ultimately ask ourselves, "Why leave?" With only a long weekend to spare, we needed to spend 100% of our time enjoying the best spot in Los Cabos. While Las Ventanas' proximity to the best of what Baja has to offer (whether it’s the expat fiesta scene, whale watching in the winter, kayaking in the spring and fall, or year-round fishing) makes it a good choice for the active travel enthusiast who wants to have his cake and eat it too, a week-long trip makes these options more feasible. As such, the only dilemma was where, exactly, this "best spot" was: was it reading a book in the in-pool seating area while sipping a margarita, lounging on our roof deck, lying on the beach, or throwing your diet out the window in the restaurant. And I didn’t even mention the numerous spa and massage options. Either way, Las Ventanas is a recipe for a can’t-miss perfect Baja getaway.
Additional Notes
Cabo San Lucas is a short 3-hour flight from the San Francisco Bay Area or 2 hours from Los Angeles. We found an affordable fare from Oakland on Allegro Airlines, with a direct flight on a new, clean plane. The same plane continues on to Puerto Vallarta after a short layover in Los Cabos.
Las Ventanas is part of the Rosewood Hotels group, whose properties include a selection of the premier luxury resorts in the world. Rates range from $375 for a Gardenview Junior Suite in summer to $4,300 for a 3 bedroom Luxury Suite during the holiday season. Hotel information, including rates, photo galleries, package specials, spa offerings and activities can be found at www.lasventanas.com or by calling (52) 624.144.0300. Managing Director Luis Fernandes and his staff offer warm smiles and welcoming manners to all guests.
Economy Car Rental: A Way to Save Some Money.
An economy car rental is a great solution for most of our travelling needs. Family get-togethers, weddings and birthday parties are all reasons you may need a car just for a few days. The weekend getaway is one of other best reasons for renting a economical car. You can save the wear and tear on your own vehicle if you have one rented car. This also helps to save money and if you break down at somewhere, roadside assistance is normally available through most rental companies. There are car rental companies those offer good rates however; you want to be assured that you are getting the best possible deal.
Economy car rental is not as difficult as it may seem. You also don't need to go to less reputable companies to get cheap rates. Many of the major car rental companies offer good rates too. Discounted rates are offered by them at certain times of the year or certain days of the week. Avis car Rental, CarRentals and Traveljigsaw are some of the services those offer an affordable weekend package. Finally, when looking for economy car rental, you may also want to look at smaller companies. In order to stay competitive many are offering rates lower than the major national companies.
The first thing to keep in mind when making economy car rentals is the actual meaning of economy rental. An economy car is usually small and very efficient on gas. These cars are intended especially for personal travel and are usually free from many of the electrically-taxing trapping of larger prestige and luxury cars.
In short an economy car will transport yourself and your passengers around without wasting gas or money or insurance charges. Economy cars don't have to be slow or unpleasant to drive, and many are not simply small versions of larger sedans. Toyota Corollas and Subaru Imprezas are some of the sporty economy cars.
Economy car rental is quire readily available most of the places. The amount of days and the charges will vary from company to company. You may wish to enquire about a weekly rate if you need the car for more than 4 days. This can amount to a lot of savings for you approximately to 30-50 percent. If you wish to find the best deals on economy car rentals, then you should start your research online. Some rental companies for convenience offer discounts just for online reservations.
There is a certain freedom that comes by renting a car that does not come with a train or a plane ride. You are on your own schedule, not someone else's, which allows you to stop when you like and even indulge in some sightseeing when you feel. Each trip can be like a small vacation from the everyday chores. With some persistence and knowledge you can get a good rate and an excellent car. Keep calling around and your success in finding one affordable car rental service is guaranteed.
