Juicy Tidbits
Travel + Leisure says..."If you're looking for hustle and bustle, go elsewhere: this Four Seasons outpost is tucked up against some of the remotest desert in town. Opened in 1999, it's already undergone a $17 million renovation. The new “desert chica palette is meant to evoke the colors of sunset and the arid region in bloomawhich sounds corny, but in the hands of Dallas -based interior design firm Paul Duesing Partners, is anything but. The innovative look is supersophisticated, with unexpected splashes of color (heavy carved Mexican wood chairs covered in bright green leather, mixed and matched florals and stripes in bawdy hues), buildings designed to blend into the surrounding desert, and whims indulged at every turn. (Think complimentary fresh fruit and Popsicles delivered to you poolside.) Champion golfer and course designer Tom Weiskopf renovated the Troon North's 36 holesaconsidered the best in this greens-covered town. Book a private dinner in the wine-tasting room at on-site restaurant Talavera, where the chef will pair a different wine with each dish." -From Travel + LeisureConde Nast Traveler says..."The scenery from the rooms is hypnotic at this desert resort 1,000 feet above downtown. Adobe casitas open onto landscaped terraces, while suites have telescopes, private plunge pools, and outdoor showers. The "courteous and first-rate service includes chilled towels and snacks at the pool. Visit Talavera for "excellent food and a smashing view or Crescent Moon for modern Mexican cuisine served indoors or on the terrace." -From Conde Nast Traveler

A verdant oasis on the tip of the Baja Peninsula. Where azure waters greet the mountainous desert and the Pacific Ocean merges with the Sea of Cortez. Where warm waves break onto a dramatic shoreline. and gray whales can be seen rising majestically in the distance. Here the gracious style of Old Mexico - with its red-tiled roofs - whitewashed walls - and idyllic setting of exquisite fountains - is quietly nestled amidst swaying palms - bird of paradise and other tropical bloom. This is where exhilaration and serenity thrive in blissful harmony. This is One and Only Palmilla.

Travel + Leisure says...
"At the tip of Mexico's Baja peninsula, One & Only Palmilla takes moonlight serenades seriously. The 172-room resort can arrange a Latin guitar trio to strum ballads on sandy coves facing the Sea of CortAs, atop a historic bell tower, or in a Casa Gardenia suite. For families, there's a meandering river that connects the kids' pool to an infinity pool overlooking the sea. Ride horses on the beachaon of the safest in Los Cabos for swimmingathen kick back in red-tiled suites with shaded daybeds, ideal for siesta.Room to Book: Beachfront Pool Casita Junior Suites have terraces outfitted with lavish day beds, a telescope, and a private infinity-edge plunge pool. Insider Tip:Splurge on dinner in a hidden Sonoran canyon. You'll be chauffeured in the resort's own Hummer to this high-desert feast, where a table for two is illuminated by a bonfire and flickering candles. Share chilled champagne and dine on grilled meats and fresh salads, then take turns at the telescope set up to spot celestial bodies above the Pacific." -From Travel + LeisureConde Nast Traveler says..."Rooms are worth the price tag at this hacienda property that's hosted John Wayne. Expect "lush landscaping," and "luxurious suites with handcrafted furniture, travertine floors, and custom-painted tiles and sinks. Suviche incorporates local and Asian flavors in its Mexican seviches and sushi. Service is "beyond comparison." The kids' club sandbox was originally a pool; adults can take piAata-making and origami classes. " -From Conde Nast Traveler

Travel + Leisure says..."Lavish Sonoran Desert golf resort with adobe casitas scattered across a millennia-old rock outcropping, plus a legendary spa.Rooms to Book: For the most expansive views, opt for a second-floor unit in a two-story casita in the north section.Insider Tip: Take a moonlight hike with the on-site professional astronomer.
Travel and Leisure also says...The Boulders has always meant golf, golf, and more golf. Now, with the addition of the extraordinary Golden Door Spa, it is also a first-rate spa hotel. Walking to your casita in the chill of the night, past the boulders and the cacti, across wood bridges over dry arroyos, the air scented with piAon drifting from the fireplaces it's as romantic a desert moment as you can hope for. The Boulders has always had the location, where the wilderness merges with the city, and the layout too, with 160 large casitas scattered across its two famous golf courses and the fringes of the desert. No two rooms have the same view, and it's impossible for the front desk to guess which one will please you, so just keep trying until you find the right fit. You'll emerge to play golf, to sun by the pool at the base of a boulder-strewn hill, and to dine at the restaurant, the Latilla, which is built into the boulders themselves. In the spa enjoy the site-appropriate treatments like the turquoise body wrap, which involves honey, blue cornmeal, and a rain stick."
