My husband actually just posted a review the other day which I completely did not know about until I just logged in to rate our stays at both Las Ventanas and the One & Only. Regardless, I still would like to write my own review and thoughts on our stay!

Let me start by saying this - Las Ventanas is not for the traveler looking for a inexpensive or budget vacation; it will definitely will cost you a pretty penny however, in my opinion our five days there was worth every penny!

I apologize in advance for the length of my review; but I really hope it is helpful to some of you trying to decide if you should go or not. I spent months planning my now husband and I's honeymoon. I researched high and low for the best place for us to go. I knew we wanted something easy to get to. After many recommendations from friends we settled on Cabo...and then began the task of figuring out which resort. Cabo definitely has its finer resorts...Esperanza, Capella, One & Only, Las Ventanas....where to stay where to stay...we settled on 5 days at Las Ventanas followed by 5 days at the One & Only. I can't speak for the other resorts but I can for these two.

First of all...there really is NO comparison here. The only three things that the One & Only has which Las Ventanas does not is a more tropical lush landscaping, fitness classes, and a beach that you can swim in. If you want a family vacation (i.e.- kids) go to the One & Only - if you want a romantic getaway go to Las Ventanas.

I don't want to spoil your trip by telling you all of their secrets but the quality and level of service is beyond comprehension...every little detail has been given much thought and an even more perfect execution. Our butlers Anna and Milagros were phenomenal and took care of our every need. I forgot my camera at home and they printed out a list of available camera's at the local costco and then sent someone to pick it up for us! Every time we turned around we were being pampered!

Furthermore by the time we left I felt like every staff member knew our names and greeted us as if they had known us for a very long time - so kind and such big hearts!

A couple of recommendations for those of you going -

1) definitely reserve a full day cabana (I think it was $300/day) they are so totally worth it...you have your own private plunge pool and lounge chairs on the beach. We would get to ours around 8am and not leave until 5ish...they were a BIG highlight of our trip. There are only 3 of them though...so reserve it in advance!

2) You really never need to leave the resort for dinners. Every night they have different "themes" - i.e. - Taco night, Prime Rib night, BBQ show (which is another rec below!). The food is AMAZING! I am so craving the yogurt with agave and pumpkin seeds every morning right now - and then there is this salad they make with pumpkin seeds and this chile dressing....I am trying to get the recipe....ate it every day for lunch! We left the resort one night and regretted it!

3) The BBQ show & dinner on Thursday - if you haven't been you must go....food and entertainment is fabulous!

4) Private dinner on the beach - if you are going for a special occasion...we definitely loved this treat!

I honestly could go on and on....this far exceeded our expectations and we are already trying to figure out when we can go back and bring family or friends with us!

One minor recommendation for management - there weren't many children, just a handful...but I highly recommend not allowing them near the cabana's. We had one day where there were two small children playing truck - screaming and yelling right in front of us. My husband mentioned something to our cabana butler who was extremely professional and courteous. He spoke to the nanny and relocated the children further down the beach while also discounting our cabana for the day - which was totally unnecessary but another example of the level of customer service/satisfaction here.

Bottom line - if you are trying to decide where to go for a little romantic getaway...honestly...you won't regret Las Ventanas!! I will never understand how they are not ranked above One & Only! I think everywhere we go know we will be comparing it to this place....can't wait to return!

I recently returned from 10 days in Cabo for my Honeymoon. We spent the first 5 nights at Las Ventanas then the remainder of the trip at the One and Only. I wish we had never left Las Ventanas. The personalized service and attention to detail was something we will always remember. Las Ventanas made our Honeymoon especially memorable by spoiling us with gifts throughout our stay (Champagne, eclairs, an amazing rose pedal turndown, and a heart ornament upon leaving to name a few). The food was wonderful everywhere we ate on the property (from in room dining to “the restaurant”). The fruits and vegetables were as fresh as I have ever had. It is hard to give the property the credit they deserve. All I can say is I can’t wait to go back and celebrate an anniversary birthday or holiday soon!

Prior to our 5 days at LVP, I would visit this website regularly out of sheer excitement for the opportunity to spend our 10 year wedding anniversary at one of the best hotels in the world. It was evident in reading the reviews of guests that this would be a special place.

Now that we are back, I humbly submit that LVP has set an impossible standard for service, and that this standard is clearly the result of a unique pride that the staff feel about the place they describe as "su casa" ("your home"). Somehow, someway, even though everything you know about this business tells you that everything LVP does is the result of an overwhelming amount of effort - it felt...well...effortless on the part of our butlers Mili and Ana, the pool staff (thanks for the drinks Oliver!), our favorite Sea Grill server Joel, our drivers Ivan and Rolando, and the front desk (Kristell - her smile alone is worth the steep price of admission!).

We dined at Palmilla (Market is a truly amazing experience) and Esperanza (top 5 setting for dinner in the world, imo). I only mention this because the staff at LVP made certain to tell the staff at each of these places that we were there for a special occasion, and we got the royal treatment at both (we had a menu named in our honor... seriously!). Where else would you find folks who were clearly having fun making sure you felt pampered like that?

Martin - I think you are the luckiest man on earth to be surrounded by such joy. Please send my best wishes and many thanks to your staff!

Stayed in the Presidental Villa for 3 nights with my family. The experience was very nice. Armando the butler was attentive. Had dinner in La Cava, the private dining room. The food was on par with Ramsey, Puck,, Pyles, or any of the worlds' best chefs. The courses were paired with wines and the dining experince is a must for Cabo. All the meals at Las Ventanas were top notch. Have stayed at the Villa Cortez at Pamilla and the Presidental Villa does not match up in size, luxury, or attentive staff but is still a wonderful experience if you have 6-7 guests. Las Ventanas is building a villa on the beach which will be the Villa Cortez.2.0. It will be bigger. All that will be needed is the expanded staff with mature service skills that are needed for a Villa of that size and expense. I look forward to a return visit when the new Villa is open next year. The staff for such a Villa is developed over time. Ernesto who is the main butler at the Villa Cortez is the essence of perfection to operate a 7 star villa.
