Hotel Rating: 5 Star

* This premier 71-suite Mexican/Mediterranean-style resort is nestled on the sand along the Sea of Cortés.
* Suites feature large outdoor terraces, terra-cotta fireplaces, butler service and stunning ocean views.
* Impeccable service, meandering infinity pools, hammocks under beach palapas, and butlers at poolside define this seaside oasis.

What to Expect:

* Hollywood's movers-and-shakers and honeymooners mingle freely near the pools and at the lounge. Though calming and sophisticated, Las Ventanas also has a sense of playfulness and fun. Guests are greeted in their rooms with a shot of tequila, served in a clay jar. Pool butlers offer complimentary iPods and stop by hourly with a fresh spritz of frosted Evian, chocolate sorbet, and a chilled towel. The staff uses underground tunnels to move about, leaving guests to lounge undisturbed.

Amenity Highlights:

* Each Wednesday, the hotel hosts a beachside barbecue party serving fine cuts and seafood. The adjacent Cabo Real golf course challenges players with several holes along the waterfront, including hole 15, whose green is just up a small hill from the hotel pool. Guests resting in beachside hammocks can request wake-up service by raising a flag. Hammocks are also equipped with a pulley system to alleviate the need to foot-propel the swaying action. In winter months, the staff scans the sea for signs of passing whales and signals guests by blowing an alert with a conch shell.

Insider Tip:

* Each night, a single table is set up for a private beachfront dinner, requiring diners to reserve well in advance.
