Q Magazine - Spring 2020

10 W hilst you might be lured by the plethora of all- inclusive resorts that proliferate Mexico’s Caribbean and Pacific coastlines, there are simply no contenders to compete against the traditional (not inclusive) and deeply rooted, highly personalised hospitality of Rosewood’s lavish resorts; Las Ventanas al Paraíso on the Pacific peninsula of Los Cabos in Baja California and Rosewood Mayakoba on the Riviera Maya of Mexico’s Caribbean coast. Perhaps, the only way to differentiate is to use Rosewood’s own mission statement - ‘A Sense of Place’ - as this is quite fundamental to every Rosewood hotel and resort worldwide. Las Ventanas al Paraíso, a Rosewood Resort is the epitome of an elite hideaway. Framed against the stark and rugged desert landscape of the Los Cabos region, it is an oasis of pampered luxury that has welcomed many a celebrity in search of rest and revitalisation since opening in 1997. With the recent introduction of a twice weekly, direct flight service between London Gatwick and Cabo San Lucas, this will surely mark an increase in interest from visitors from the UK seeking a winter sun getaway. The exclusive all suite, villas resort resembles a magical Mexican seaside village, with elegant whitewashed buildings set among pristine gardens and eight meandering swimming pools beside a sandy beach. Renowned for the most luxurious touches, the 12 iconic Signature Villas, each equipped with infinity pool, dedicated villa host and all butler service set the tone for an unparalleled bespoke experience in Paradise. In contrast, Rosewood Mayakoba is in the heart of the 620-acre Mayakoba estate, amid a network of canals and lagoons that cut a sway through lush, tropical jungles bordering a mile-long stretch of white sand beach. A sumptuous choice of suite and private villa accommodation, the most dramatic being the Deluxe Overwater Lagoon Suites which appear to float along the water’s edge, reflects the changing terrain with the novelty of water-borne transportation between accommodations and the resort’s communal areas. Special features like butler service, outdoor garden showers and private plunge pools in every suite complete your ultra-lux getaway. Ultimately, both resorts will wow their varied guests, including families with even the smallest toddlers to couples in search of a romantic interlude. Experience true Mexican hospitality, fine cuisine and a careful matching of Tequila from a range of over 100 varieties! Be pampered in spas that are the envy of the luxury travel industry and be amazed at a level of attentive and friendly service that is the true hallmark of guest care. For sure, it is a difficult choice - so don’t choose one or the other - just visit both at least once in your life!
