If you are looking for the ultimate in a luxurious vacation, Las Ventanas is the resort for you! There’re definitely many reasons why celebrities like Gwyneth Paltrow, Courtney Cox, and Britney Spears love to visit this Mexican/Mediterranean styled property.The beginning of your Las Ventanas experience occurs as soon as you arrive at the Los Cabos airport. You are quickly whisked away by Mercedes SUV and offered bottled water, Mexican sweets, and your choice of music as you relax and enjoy the short ride to the resort. Unlike many resorts along the resort corridor, Las Ventanas is well off the road and only marked by a tiny sign. If you didn’t know where you were going, you would most likely miss it, which adds to the exclusivity.

Arriving by night is most dramatic, as torches line the long drive. When your vehicle pulls up to the front of the resort, all the staff form a line to greet you. At that time, we were given a delicious, cool margarita shooter to enjoy, while our butler, Sergio, welcomed us and explained a little about the resort. Our bags were whisked away, to reappear in the closet of our suite, while Sergio escorted us on a tour of the resort, concluding with a tour of our suite and explanations of dining, spa services and the butler services.

We booked the luxury oceanview suite, which has a private patio, plunge pool and hot tub, outdoor and indoor showers, Whirlpool tub and full closet and dressing area. A small bottle of Las Ventanas’ own tequila, fresh limes and salt awaited us and Sergio demonstrated the proper way to enjoy an authentic Mexican tequila shot.

From there, the next five days rolled by blissfully. We enjoyed delicious room-service meals, including the most delicious breakfast that was waiting for us each morning when we woke up after ordering the night before. We experienced an amazing couples’ massage on our private patio and each of us had an unparalleled spa day at The Spa. The tequila lesson and tasting was a fun diversion and allowed us to learn more about the history of tequila production in Mexico and the different types of tequila. We booked the ATV riding excursion and, when our shuttle was delayed, Las Ventanas called us a private cab and paid our fare to get us to the ATV site on time. This was amazing customer service, and really went above and beyond. This is a constant at Las Ventanas: the staff makes every meal and activity you have planned flow seamlessly so you don’t have to worry about any details.

On our last full day, we rented a Mini Cooper to drive up the Baja coast to the small artists’ colony of Todos Santos. Las Ventanas packed us gourmet lunches in small coolers and we had a fun-filled day of driving and sightseeing. The best part of the day was returning to our luxurious accommodations at Las Ventanas to relax before our dinner reservation at The Restaurant. This was a singular experience. The Restaurant is so highly-rated that vacationers reserve a table here even when they are staying at other Cabo resorts. The food and service were amazing, from drinks and appetizers, to the sommelier, to the little “amuse-bouche” treats that arrive between courses. This glamorous dinner was the perfect ending to a magical vacation. But that wasn’t the end. When we returned to our suite after dinner, we had a “surprise” waiting for us.

Las Ventanas is quite expensive, but everyone who’s stayed there will tell you that the cost is worth it. When you’re a guest at Las Ventanas, you don’t have to lift a finger. You can truly relax and enjoy a stunning setting, delicious food, relaxing spa treatments and a staff that is second to none. We were so sad to leave, as the staff again lined up at the lobby to wave goodbye to us. Las Ventanas is the kind of place you want to return to before you’ve even left.
