A place where sun-sea-sky and earth join as one to form a tropical oasis like no other - a place called Esperanza.
Juicy Tidbits Travel + Leisure says... "Set at the very tip of the Baja Peninsula, just a few miles from Cabo San Lucas, The Esperanza overlooks both the Sea of Cortez and Punta Ballena (“Whale Point,a past which humpbacks migrate in winter). The 57 casita rooms and suitesaand 60 privately owned villasaare spacious and airy, decorated in muted seashell colors and natural fibers (rattan chairs, carved-wood tables and headboards, locally woven rugs). Each has a single wall that slides open dramatically to a private veranda with an infinity-edge hot tub and sweeping ocean views." -From Travel + LeisureConde Nast Traveler says..."This is a place for a special occasion." On a bluff above the Sea of CortAs, this resort ensures that the water is "visible from all points." "Well-lit, inviting haciendas have light-colored woods and custom textiles. El Restaurante, "with twinkling candles, perfect table settings, and Mediterranean food, is from a storybook." "Varied activities include deep-sea fishing, off-roading, and zip-lining. " -From Conde Nast Traveler

Hayman is a magnificent private island resort, nestled amid a lush tropical paradise in the breathtaking Great Barrier Reef. Beautifully appointed rooms, suites, penthouses and a villa overlook gardens, pools, ponds, beach and the Coral Sea. Hayman offers privacy, tranquility, natural beauty, adventure, luxury, international dining and exciting resort and reef activities. To arrive at Hayman, airline travel can be ticketed to destination Hayman (Airport Code: HIS). Alternatively, travel can be booked to Hamilton Island (Airport Code: HTI) and transfers to Hayman can be purchased separately with the resort - rate is AU$205 per adult each way including refreshments.
Juicy Tidbits Travel + Leisure says..."Hayman is one of the reef's big resorts, with 234 guest rooms, 500 employees, acres of marble flooring, and five dining venues. The once-before-I-die icon has been accepting paying guests since 1935. Back then, the clientele was largely fishermen, and the accommodations were basic cabins. The next year, the American novelist Zane Grey filmed White Death on the island. Capitalizing on a sensational crescent of vanilla-sand beach, a luxury resort soon replaced the cabins and flourished for two decades before a 1970 cyclone. After the resort reopened six months later, 650,000 trees and shrubs were introduced to the island; of the 1,000 palms, 22 form a glamorous avenue. Rooms fronting the seven-times-Olympic-size swimming poolaso gigantic it loses 1,500 gallons of water in evaporation and runoff per dayahave terraces that jut into the water, so you can jump right in from your bed. Are the pools a little splashy? Yes. Are they fun? Absolutely." -From Travel + Leisure
