Hotel at a Glance: Krystal Grand Los Cabos

This newly built beach resort is an assault on the senses in the best possible way. Picturesque coastal views embellish gorgeously manicured lawns, salt-tinged breezes from the onsite beach mingle with the aromas of succulent local seafood, and the sounds of joyous splashing emanate from the multiple pools speckled throughout the property. Then there’s the velvety soft feel of the plush sheets inside the 112–125-square-foot guest rooms, many of of which feature private balconies overlooking the gardens, pools, or ocean.

• Leave the beach towel behind and claim one of the private Balinese beds, which dot a special reserved area on the beach.
• Take some extra “me” time at the onsite spa, where you can enjoy a manicure, therapeutic body treatment, or a dip in the hot tub.
• Eat food from around the world thanks to the multiple onsite restaurants that sizzle up dishes from the likes of Italy, Asia, and, of course, Mexico. All meals and beverages are included with this voucher.
• Keep your followers up to date by taking advantage of the WiFi, included as part of the all-inclusive experience.
• Work off all the margaritas by visiting the onsite fitness center.

San José del Cabo, Mexico: Peaceful Beaches and Vibrant Art Scene

Los Cabos—which in Spanish means “the capes”—is the name used to refer collectively to the two Mexican towns at the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula. Cabo San Lucas is often thought of as the wilder and more widely known of the two. But its sister city, San José del Cabo, is both larger and more well-preserved, with Spanish colonial architecture sandwiched between ocean dunes and the Sierra de la Laguna mountains.

Secluded nature reserves abound in San José del Cabo—Cabo Pulmo National Marine Park shelters one of North America’s only hard-coral reefs right beside Bahia Los Frailes, a bay filled with a colony of barking sea lions. Egrets, brown pelicans, and hundreds of rare and exotic waterfowl make their homes at the estuary’s bird sanctuary on the peninsula’s southern tip. Nearby, La Playita’s beach has both a swimming area and a separate spot to watch fishers bring in the day’s catch.

About a mile from San José del Cabo’s beaches, you’ll find colorful architecture and ornate churches in the historic downtown area, or zocalo, which harks back to the city’s early days as a missionary town. Jacaranda trees, garden courtyards, and trickling fountains line the sidewalks. Just a short walk from the town square is San José del Cabo’s arts district, where locals hawk fresh produce and handcrafted jewelry amid the area’s folk art and religious sculptures.
