Rancho Leonero is situated on Baja's beautiful East Cape and offers charming thatched roof bungalows and the calm, incredibly enticing ocean.

We enjoyed our best off-the-beach snorkeling in Mexico here; the water is so clear that you barely need a mask to see the multitude of colorful fish in the shallow water. And it's spectacularly remote - the Rancho estate includes two miles of pristine coastline and access is via an unpaved road that winds through a spectacular desert landscape.

The virtually uninhabited island of Espiritu Santo plays host to one of the most luxurious of camp-hotels. Five safari-style tents lie on a pristine beach, with a maximum of ten people at any one time to share the starkly beautiful landscape, the spectacularly clear ocean and the breathtaking night sky.

Add to this some of the finest cuisine you'll find anywhere on the Baja peninsula (we enjoyed scallop carpaccio, chocolate clams, delicately flavored seafood pasta and flambéed bananas during our stay) and the genuinely warm hospitality, and the result is close to perfection.

Note: Baja Camp is only open from May to early October.

An oasis of eleven rooms arranged around a beautiful and serene gardened courtyard, where guests can relax amidst flowers, fountains and palm trees just two blocks from the Cathedral.

The guest rooms are fully air-conditioned and have pretty tiled bathrooms. They are decorated with local handicrafts and brightly colored Mexican blankets, and many feature high ceilings. The hotel's Suite is on the second floor and boasts a large terrace.

An intimate boutique hotel with stylish rooms, a great restaurant, and reasonable prices too. It's no surprise that the Cabo Surf attracts a high number of repeat guests, and runs close to full occupancy throughout the year.

But book early and you can reserve a room with one of the best ocean views around, a suite that's big enough to accommodate up to 8 people comfortably, or a Junior Suite with a kitchenette and dining area.

Lauded as one of the most luxurious properties in the world, Las Ventanas al Paraiso maintains its high reputation with outstanding service and constant innovations.

One of the first properties to furnish guest rooms with a telescope for star gazing or whale watching, its recently added a fleet of convertible Mini Coopers for guests use.

Pre-loaded iPods and Sony LocationFree TVs are available pool-side and there's even a Department of Romance overseen by a Director of Romance (perfect for extravagant honeymoons!).

The lavish remodeling of the already-legendary Palmilla has boosted the resort to the top rank of super-luxury hotels in Los Cabos. You won't find a better class of hotel anywhere in Latin America. It's impossible to overstate the decadence here - from butler service in every room to the opportunity to reserve your own private cove, complete with four-poster bed and over-water sun loungers. The main restaurant 'C' is one of the finest we've experienced, while the lush spa and golf facilities are second to none.

Although Palmilla is heavenly for honeymooners, families too can enjoy the superb facilities; there's a special Club house for kids and an activities program for children from four to eleven years old.

A chic and exceptionally stylish small hotel with a superb restaurant that's just a few steps from the excellent restaurants, art galleries and chic wine bars of San Jose del Cabo.

The high walled courtyard of the hotel offers a cool and peaceful haven from the hustle and bustle of the little town. All of the rooms are decorated in bright and vibrant colors with beautiful artistic touches and features. We particularly like the mix of indoor and outdoor living space that offers both privacy and great views.

The Todos Santos Inn is a real gem with quality accommodations that are full of period charm and comfortable elegance. It serves as a wondefully luxurious base for excursions into the area's desert landscapes and Pacific beaches. It's also an ideal escape from the commercialized Capes and even a few days will leave you with a taste of the real Mexico.

Romantics will love the hotel's suites: lavishly decorated and very tranquil accommodations, each with a private terrace. The standard rooms have also been furnished with a care and attention to detail that is rarely found in larger establishments.   Recent additions include a small pool and cozy wine bar.
