Kim and I were married on Cinco de Mayo 20 years ago way back in '89, but we had never been to Mexico for any of our anniversaries. So we knew it was finally time to do it! I researched some of the resorts down there, and found a really nice adult-only, holistic resort spa that was located on a 3 mile stretch of uninhabited beach. Despite recent news of the swine flu, we decided to go for it anyway, and we flew from St George through LAX and on to Los Cabos by early afternoon. The taxi ride to our hotel was nearly an hour, but it was scenic and well worth it once we arrived at the Pueblo Bonito Pacifica. Due to the swine flu scare, our plane and hotel was probably not even 1/4 full, so we felt like we were the only ones there at the pools, restaurants, and beach. Kim and I had an incredible time together. Kim did yoga on the beach, we swam, walked on the beach, and took a day trip into town, where we rented sea kayaks and paddled out to the arch which is at the very tip where the Pacific Ocean crosses over to the Sea of Cortez.
Here is the view from our room balcony. We kept the sliding door open all night and listened to the waves from the Pacific Ocean crashing on the beach. Notice the beds on the beach. Nobody used them, although we were tempted to!
Another view from our room--what beauty! Oh and I guess the desert landscaping is beautiful too.
Tempting to go in, but unfortunately, these constant monster waves and the rip tide made it impossible to go in the ocean here by the resort.
So instead we walked for miles up and down the uninhabited beach, and Kim did yoga every day. Lands End can be seen off in the distance--right side.
Notice the interesting rock formations at Lands End. Sea of Cortez on the left and the Pacific on the right. We had a lot of fun kayaking. We would definitely return.
