The
bay of Cabo San Lucas , at the southernmost tip of Baja,
was once a base for pirate ships waiting to pounce on
Spanish treasure ships. Even fifteen years ago, it was
little more than a fishing and canning village occasionally
visited by adventurous sports fishermen with the means
to sail in or fly down, but it quickly earned a reputation
for the marlin that could be caught here, and the once-quiet
place found itself inundated with fishermen in search
of El Marlin Azul, home to sleek, radar-equipped fishing
yachts.
In
recent years, it has rapidly become the focal point
of Los Cabos: million-dollar condos have sprung up,
palms have been transplanted, golf courses have been
laid, water has been piped in from San José and
everywhere is kept pristine. More like an enclave of
the US than part of Mexico, preserving almost nothing
that is not geared to tourism, it can be fun for a day
or two, unless, of course, you want to fish or dive.
Though prices are higher than in neighbouring San José,
there's more of a party atmosphere, with a younger crowd.
Currently there are some 3000 rooms for rent, and the
local feeling is that 10,000 is the next feasible "goal"
that would equate the town with the long-established
resorts such as Mazatlán or Acapulco. Upcoming
developments include an enormous mall that will comprise
a convention centre, a theatre complex, a bowling alley,
a huge parking outlet and condos, and there are even
plans for an artificial island to sit in the bay, complete
with restaurants and bars

Baja Resort & Spa |
At Grand Baja Resort & Spa,
located just minutes from historic,
colonial San José del Cabo, shady
pathways arc around the property
past palm trees, giant desert
cactuses and tropical gardens
filled with multihued bougainvillea,
wildflowers and other flora indigenous
to the arid region. No expenses
were spared in the building of
this dream haven: Teak reclining
chairs imported from Thailand
line the edge of the freeform
pool as the sound of running water
from the cascades mingles with
the distant thunder of the Sea
of Cortes as it breaks on the
sand. Several shaded treatment
rooms specializing in organic,
holistic therapies surrounded
by tropical gardens sit on a “spa
island” amid an aquamarine
lagoon overlooking the hotel’s
main restaurant, Chulavista. Two
other specialty restaurants, a
margarita bar, and room service
provide enough variety in flavors
and experiences to round out the
dining experience. Not only that,
the unique and bonus-filled optional
all-inclusive plan makes clear
Grand Baja’s genuine commitment
to service, value and client satisfaction.
