Zoëtry Casa del Mar

All-inclusive resorts, especially in Mexico and the Caribbean, used to get a bit of a bad rap, but a hotel like Zöetry Casa del Mar is a reminder that times have changed. In fact, when a hotel combines attractive style and expansive amenities on a scale that remains intimate, the fact that there’s no fussing about the bill can only be a good thing.

Zoëtry Casa del Mar consists of thirty-two suites at the southern tip of Mexico’s Baja Peninsula, halfway between Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo. The hotel proper is oriented in such a way as to afford each guest a view of the Sea of Cortes from the private, teak-furnished terrace attached to every suite. The rooms are airy and spacious, and the palette of creams and tans blends perfectly with the darker, richer wood of the tables and chairs. Bathrooms are marble, with rain showers and jacuzzis.

The true genius of Zoëtry is its ability to combine an all-inclusive fee model with a boutique-hotel atmosphere. There’s nothing gaudy or overbearing about these accommodations, and the service is warmly efficient rather than intrusive. Choose from three restaurants, or take advantage of the 24-hour room service if you’d rather eat on the privacy of your terrace. And Zoëtry doesn’t skimp on the “wellness” part of its offerings, either, with a fully equipped fitness center and an oceanfront beach cabana for massage therapy.

How to get there: The resort is located 30km/18.5 miles from Los Cabos International Airport (about a 25 min drive). Take the Cabo San Lucas Road (Toll Road), make a right on Carretera Transpeninsular direction Cabo San Lucas. On km 19.5, make a left to get to the resort.
