About one week ago, we are just getting back from San Jose del Cabo. I finally got around to uploading our pics. Indeed, we were in a stunning place for a few days. And yet, J and I, being the Pu Pu Platters that we are, still found reasons to complain. I know, we are incorrigible. But I am inspired by my friends who are positive people: I’m going to focus less on the negative and just talk about the positive.

We had a totally sweet room– it was probably the size of the whole front half of the Houseboat. The resort also had like a gabillion swimming pools. Plus, our room was like 100 meters from the ocean. And our resort basically offer private access to the beach. My favorite part of the trip was Bubbey’s bday dinner at the onsite fancy Mexican-French fusion restaurant, Cafe des Artistes. When we walked in for our reservation, they asked if we were celebrating a special ocassion. Indeed, we were! After they found it it was J’s bday, they treated us to two complimentary glasses of bubbly, and then when we were seated at our table, they had decorated the top with a bunch of festive confetti bits. It was lovely. And the food/service were really impeccable. For dessert, they came out with a mirrored tray covered with goodies, a beautiful sugar syrup sculpture designed like a giftbox, and a little sparkler! Then, the wait staff gathered around the table and sang happy bday! It was just fantastic and I wish my pic weren’t so blurry (it was dim in there), but Bubbey’s face showed such delight.

Overall, I would recommend the spot with the caveat that the resort is indeed isolated. And the restaurants on site, except for Cafe des Artistes, serve western fare. If those don’t bother you, the facility and grounds are just gorgeous. There’s an onsite spa, live music at the restaurants at night, a huge kids center, a fitness center, plus freebie activities like yoga and mezcal or tequila tastings. Yes, we indulged in the mezcal tasting bc you know how I am about amenities. :)[FAG id=7506]
