Despite the high room rates at this ultra-private, ultra-luxe hotel, it's often hard to get a reservation. Late last year it was announced that Las Ventanas had earned the prestigious AAA Five Diamond Award for the sixth consecutive year; this is the only Los Cabos destination to be acclaimed as such. Guests luxuriate in suites that have hot tubs, fireplaces, and telescopes for viewing whales or stars. Newer hotels have attempted to copy such Ventanas touches as handcrafted lamps and doors, inlaid stone floors, and tequila service, but the original is still the best. Service is sublime, with a knowledgeable butler assigned to each suite; the restaurants are outstanding; and the spa treatments reflect the latest trends. The three spa suites (really more like individual villas) have private spa butlers and separate in-suite treatment rooms. There's a minimum night stay for weekends depending on the season, see their Web site for details.

We stayed here on Feb 14th, 2007, it was the best Valentine Ever!! The resort is everything you read about it, service is impeccable, and their effort to be detailed in everthing is incredible. So much detail, that the sand gets combed everyday!!! After staying here, no hotel I have stayed at comes close to earning 5 stars. I would say, that Las Ventanas, as the Burj Al Arab Hotel in Dubai, should be the other 7 star hotel.
Some review sites, give Esperanza Hotel a higher rating than Las Ventanas, it is not correct. Esperanza seems very clear that they have tried to copy Las Ventanas, they cannot come close. Las Ventanas service and details are far superior. Both being worth the same, don't think twice about staying in Las Ventanas.
We are counting the days on going back.
