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.

The staff was top notch and helped with anything that was needed. The property was very well kept and extremely nice. I don’t think there is a bad view on the property. They communicated via text with relevant info and would respond to questions almost immediately.

The Esperanza is a world class hotel from a service and infrastructure point of view. Best in class service at the pools, and from the concierge team is hardly to be believed. Great place to unwind.

Amazing and beautiful views. Exceptionally clean and modern with a cultural flair. If you like the sun, this is it. Just be careful when making reservations, be very specific.

A truly memorable vacation; attended a wedding here which was memorable.. Staff attentive, all accommodations beautiful and comfortable, food and beverages absolutely delicious.

If someone else pays, sprint to this resort. Great property and overall experience but not worth the spend. The cost of goods and services on property are like going to a professional sporting event. You know you are overpaying but you do so fulling knowing you are overpaying. One step short of gouging. Seems they create artificially high price points to attract a select demographic.

We stayed at Esperanza during Spring Break the end of March. It can usually be a crazy time to travel, but Esperanza was removed from the madness and it was elegant, lovely and relaxing. The service was an absolute 10 across the board. This was our second time going and we brought our two teenage daughters. It was a great vacation. We stayed in two Oceanview Casitas near the adult pool. That's our favorite location as you are right near the pool, beach and main restaurant. The restaurant is beautiful and the best location to eat in Cabo in my opinion as you're on the rocks over the water. And, the beach is private (I think one of the only ones) so you don't see other hotels or beach traffic. It's a wonderful relaxing escape. We had an amazing time and will definitely be back.

Esperanza is an absolute gem! Traveling on spring break with my wife and our 7 yr old daughter was effortless for all of us to enjoy and really relax. Impeccable personalized service, beautiful grounds, fantastic food - this place really has it all. Highly recommend to couples alone or families. They really do a great job of having something for everyone.

This resort is one of the best I've ever stayed at! The service was impeccable, the food was delicious, and the amenities were amazing! I highly recommend this resort, especially for a special occasion or a much needed relaxation vacation!
