Just returned from Baja where a group of us visited the now-being-developed La Amanezca destination health resort & vacation residence ownership property up the coast a bit at Los Cerritos beach south of Todos Santos.
Stayed 3 nights at the Pueblo Bonito Pacifica, the final evening at the Cabo San Lucas Inn. Quite the contrast, not the least of which was the transition from the isolation of the oceanfront Pacifica vs. the accessibility of the Inn to downtown Cabo San Lucas' marina and nightlife amenities. I was happy to experience both.
But the mangoes! Whereas the Pacifica charges $10 for a bottle of water, the Inn offers a mango tree which provided me a free and nutritious breakfast the day of my departure. I only wish I could have carted a bushel basket of them back with me to San Diego.
The Cabo San Lucas Inn is located up a short, steep hill in a quiet residential neighborhood about a 10-15 walk from the Marina. The front doors, constructed of palo de arca (sp?) wood branches, open to a very warm waiting room area in front of a trellised walkway leading back to the kitchen, office, and living quarters. Outside of the common living room space is a porch/veranda where we took advantage of slight ocean breezes while talking and doing some computer work. This area overlooks the Inn's small, 5-foot-deep swimming pool (which feels wonderful in Cabo's humid, 90deg climate this time of year) . . . and, the mango tree.
This place is a hidden jewel which has sprung to life in the past year under new management. Armando and Brenda, the current managers, are a very conscientious couple who helped me out of a little transportation bind when I first arrived in town on my way to the Pacifica. Wonderful individuals who offered taxi service and played tour guide during my stay. They provide the impecable service needed to complement the charm and visual attraction of the facility.
Cabo San Lucas Inn is what you might imagine a small, rustic Mexican b&b to be . . . with mangoes and mango water to quench and satisfy the palette during Cabo's warm, sticky summer days.
