Casa Dorada Los Cabos Resort & Spa

Brilliant sunsets, peaceful beaches and unpretentious hospitality set the perfect tone for a truly carefree family getaway. Located on five acres of pristine shoreline in Cabo San Lucas, the all-suite Casa Dorada Los Cabos Resort & Spa offers refined sophistication and plenty of entertaining diversions. Spacious one- and two-bedroom suites have a spa-like ambience and offer dazzling views of the Sea of Cortez, kitchens, dining tables, pull-out sofa beds and DVD players. Sip a drink by the pool and allow the staff to bring you snacks or even an aromatherapy towel to cool you off. Kids will love splashing in their own kids pool that has fun water jets to keep them engaged for hours. You can also go for a swim at Medano Beach, which happens to be one of Cabo's few swimming beaches, ride horseback along the shore or head to the private beach club where you can soak up the Mexican sunshine on a plush day bed. If you need time to indulge in a spa treatment, the Casa Kid'z Playzone entertains your young ones from morning to night.

You're sure to find something that will suit your most discriminating tastebuds. The casual, beachfront Maydan restaurant offers a breakfast buffet, grilled selections and fresh fish while 12 Tribes serves fresh steaks and international specialties. More family activities beckon within a short distance of the resort. Ride horseback along the Pacific coast, go sea kayaking, or parasail high in the sky as you take in views of the famed rock arch formation El Arco. Kids will love the Dolphinarium where they can enjoy a show or even swim with dolphins. Just outside the town harbor's entrance is a game preserve where families can snorkel among exotic fish, who will eat right out of your hand.
