The newly renovated Spa Ixchel makes its debut next month. Bigger and better than ever, it will have 13 treatment rooms, including two VIP spa suites, a full-service salon and a lounge area leading to outdoor balconies. LaStone Sacred Massage is the spa’s most popular treatment, but its signature Temaztec treatment runs a close second. Everything can be booked in advance.

I like the intimate feel and the décor, which is very in tune with the destination. Its restaurant is wonderful. Auberge Hotels does a great job with all their properties and the feedback I get is always positive. I also like that there’s an adults-only area on one side and villas on the other side, which are really terrific for families. “I also book Rosewood’s Las Ventanas and One&Only’s Pamilla. For clients traveling with children, I think Palmilla is the one to book because there’s a lot to do there. For clients looking to book something a little less expensive than Esperanza, Las Ventanas or Pamillo, I recommend Marquis Los Cabos. The rooms are very nice and the pool and spa are both very impressive. “I always enjoy the restaurants in these hotels, but my favorite restaurant in the area is The Trailer Park at El Faro Viejo on Antonio Mijares. You can eat outside and the lobsters are amazing. Another favorite is The Office on Playa El Médano. It’s right on the beach and very casual. You can even go in your bathing suit.” 28 | TravelAgent October 29, 2007
