when we checked in, the bathtub was drawn and strewn with rose petals & there was fruit and an ice-bucket full of fresh lemonade and ice tea... the non-alcoholic beverages in the minibar were all free. when you go down to the breathtaking bi-level infinity pools, you are immediately greeted by an employee and given an ice-bucket of bottled water and towels are laid out for you on the chaise lounges. the room itself was great, the bed was so comfortable and there is a great outdoor seating area and hammock. the concierge recommended great restaurants, and the on-site restaurant was excellent, i had been skeptical as i read a poor review concerning the chef on this website, but i have never had such delicious scallops, so perhaps they have a new chef. the whole place is absolutely beautiful, and you can use the facilities of the spa without having a treatment, very nice. they have laptop computers they will lend you if you want to go online, a great touch. when my husband and i forgot to relock our safe by accident, the maid alerted security and the concierge immediately asked us to verify that all our belongings were accounted for upon our return to the resort, also very nice. i can not think of a single bad thing about our stay, really a top notch place. it is pricey, but well worth it.

We just returned from a Cabo vacation and while we didn't stay at the Esperanza, we did eat dinner there and loved every moment. We began our meal with blueberry mohitos, and iur waiter recommended a great Mexican wine (who knew?) with dinner. The presentation and quality of the food was outstanding, and the service impeccable. Someone even escorted me to the restroom! Every detail of our meal, from the flatware and scented napkins to the seafood was beyond perfect. We were celebrating our anniversary, and for dessert we were serenaded, and even given a small gift! The best part was the handmade chocolates the chef sent to our table after the meal. Or maybe it was the breathtaking ocean view... either way, I enthusiastically recommend the restaurant!

Beautiful serene location. If was the perfect place to retreat and take time off from our busy work schedules. Staff was very warm and friendly. Concierge was great at helping us sort out our activities (snorkeling & kayaking) that we reserved outside of the resort. Palapa room had an extraordinary view of the ocean- break of dawn & sunset views were breathtaking. Balcony had spa infinity pool – fabulous! Room service on the balcony was perfect. Signature and La Palapa Restaurants were both located on a very romantic setting on the cliffs. Menus were good but had a limited selection. Loved the tuna ceviches. Excellence service even while chilling on the beach! Plenty of chilled spring water and cooling mist served to you. Loved the Baja lime toiletries which bathroom had an ample supply of but NOTE TO SELF – never take them (shampoo, shower gel, lotion, or conditioner) or you will get billed for them later ($19++ ea? Even if you took a half-full bottle that was in your shower!). Would definitely return, but will bring my own containers next time (ha!).

What a great place. Great views, wonderful people, scrumptuous food, impecable service. We always stayed at Palmilla, but during the renovation we stumbled into Esperanza. What an incredible experience!!! Returned to Palmilla last year and it was very dissapointing, but this year alas, we returned back to Esperanza. We are planning to return every year, same time, same room. The chef is excellant as well as all of the staff!!! This truly was a place of HOPE!!!
See you next year!!!!
