Venue Features
The scene:
Overlooking the Sea of Cortez, Esperanza offers an incomparable natural setting on 17 lush acres. The resort is designed for guests seeking a private vacation retreat with all the comforts of home and access to world-class dining and an award-winning Cabo Spa and Fitness program. The Southern Baja subtropical desert climate offers a blissful 350 days of sunshine a year with warm temperatures and temperate breezes, making Cabo and Esperanza an ideal year-round destination.
Standout venue features:
Esperanza is the most intimate of the 5 Star properties in Cabo with only 59 casitas and suites. Esperanza features the only private beach in Cabo so a ceremony or reception on the sand will be completely uninterrupted. We are also unique from most properties because we allow for only one wedding per day. This is our way to insure that our staff's undivided attention is focused on you, your guests, and your most special event. Each and every guest will enjoy having their own personal concierge for the entire stay to assist with check in, spa reservations, dining recommendations and special requests. Each guest is welcomed with Esperanza's signature "Cabo Green Margarita" upon arrival. Each guest room receives a complimentary fresh fruit amenity which will be refreshed every day. Water and sodas are available in each guestroom on a complimentary basis and are refreshed and restocked once a day. If additional restocking of complimentary beverages is required, applicable charges will apply. Daily complimentary yoga and fitness classes are available to guests. Complimentary internet service and valet parking offered to all guests.
