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.

Our week at Esperanza was great. The property is beautiful, with great views of the Sea of Cortez. All of the staff are so friendly and make you feel at home. They greet you by name and remember your likes and dislikes.. Each of the Villas have a butler assigned to take care of you. From checking on you each days to see if they can do anything for you to helping you with dinner reservations and daily activities. The personalized service is a great plus.

This was my 4th stay at The Esperanza and it never disappoints. We now take our entire family and stay at the villas. The resort is beautiful . The staff is welcoming, attentive and the service is amazing. There are 2 adult pools and 2 family pools. There are 4 restaurants. We don't even leave the property. Don't miss the Fiesta on Wednesday night that ends with a fireworks display.

This was my first time staying at Esperanza, and was there for four days for a wedding. This place was amazing from the hotel, beach, pools, restaurants, but most importantly, the staff. Everybody was great! I can’t wait to return for our next stay.

Second time to visit this amazing resort! From the minute we were picked up to the minute we were dropped off was 5 star!

Esperanza is second to none, the resort is beautiful, the service is exceptional. There is a great variety of food and drinks at the various restaurants and great pools and activities to choose from. This was our third year coming to Esperanza and we find it tough to go anywhere else because we love it so much !

My husband and I enjoyed our 3-night visit at Esperanza. We opted for an ocean view casita room with a private hot tub, which was well worth it. The room was very well kept, clean, spacious and had amazing views. The property has fabulous amenities. We used the fitness center and tennis courts. The gym was huge, had great equipment and the tennis courts were well maintained. The only small negative was the tennis balls they provided were all dead, and the rackets weren't great (so would suggest bringing your own). The restaurants were fantastic, especially Cocina del Mar for dinner. That was truly a unique and unforgettable experience to have a wonderful meal that close to the ocean on a cliff. Overall, we were very happy with our stay.

We loved our stay at Esperanza. Each and every staff member went out of their way to ensure this amazing and special experience. The property is immaculate. We already can’t wait to come back.

The rooms were impeccable, that stay was so welcoming and the food was amazing! 5 stars all the way!
