New Cabo Marriott Features Mexican Strawberry Soup

                      

Marriott Puerto Los Cabos - 

JW MARRIOTT HOTEL & RESORT 

(Los Cabos, Puerto Los Cabos - east of San Jose del Cabo)

Perhaps the quality sought by any resort hotel the world over is an atmosphere of unassailable tranquility. The new JW Marriott Los Cabos has achieved this aim with striking architecture that celebrates various Mexican architectural styles without sacrificing contemporary modernity or local environs.

The approach to the hotel is perhaps deliberately disarming—the boxy brown building is neither striking nor imposing from the roadway, distracting little attention from the azure blue ocean almost incongruously juxtaposed against a rocky sun-baked coast. However, pulling into the porte cochere and stepping behind an imposing partition reveals the payoff: a cool, soaring hallway that draws the eye across terraced reflecting pools and to the sparkling sea. Check-in is conducted at minimalist desks with peripherals hidden away in drawers, while guests sip on Arnold Palmers with or without alcohol.

This hacienda-style house, known as Villa Miguel, is in the gated Cabo del Sol golf community on the southern tip of Mexico’s Baja California peninsula. The 180,000-acre resort was built along a two-mile stretch of the Sea of Cortez coastline, just minutes from downtown Cabo San Lucas. It includes several subdivisions with custom houses and condominiums facing the ocean or the fairway.

Villa Miguel, which has four bedrooms and four and a half baths over 3,800 square feet, offers both gulf and golf.
