Cafe Del Lago

NUEVO VALLARTA

Located near overlooking the lake at the center of Vidanta Nuevo Vallarta and close to the pool at the Grand Luxxe, the Cafe Del Lago is one of the best places at the resort for breakfast. The extensive buffet is filled with fresh fruit, bread, fresh empanadas, made-to-order omelettes, and more. Also included are all you can drink mimosas (be sure to ask your server). The variety is incredible and a great way to start the day.

Tips:

  • Go at 7:00am or after 11:30 and enjoy 2-for-1 pricing!
  • For some reason they hide the bacon at the omlet bars. Just ask and they will happily load up your plate

Details: 

  • Open from 7:00am – 12:30pm 
  • Adults: mex$390 
  • Children (6-12): Mex $195
  • Kids (3-5): Mex $120

Brio Spa

Los Cabos

OVERVIEW

The Brio Spa at The Vidanta Los Cabos has a lot of room to improve, but served its purpose. A small, but uncrowded corner of the resort. Not much nicer than a standard city gym or even airport lounge. Nevertheless – the spa and gym fulfilled its purpose.

While uncrowded during our stay, I would recommend calling in advance to make reservations when the resort is busy. The space is quite small and fills up quickly.

GYM

Limited dumbbells, a smith machine, and a couple nautilus machines. To round everything out there are a couple stationary elliptical and bikes available.

SPA

I generally enjoyed the spa by myself but the biggest distraction was LUKEWARM WATER. The spa and showers were never really “hot”. While normally the desert sun of Cabo doesn’t necessitate a super hot spa, HOWEVER in December it’s nice.  

On a positive note, the dry sauna was very nice and loved the cold plunge.

MASSAGE

I peeked into the massage rooms and longed for something a bit more for the price. Ended up opting for massages on the beach in Cabo San Lucas above the Sand Bar.

WHY YOU SHOULD VISIT LOS CABOS NOW

Los Cabos is the area at the southernmost tip of the Baja California peninsula, and it encompasses two towns: San José del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas. San José del Cabo has been transformed from a sleepy colonial village into a cultural hot spot full of galleries and stylish shops. Meanwhile, 20 miles away, fun-loving Cabo San Lucas couldn’t be more different: what was once the harbor of a tuna cannery is now a bustling downtown with a bustling marina and tequila-fueled party bars.

The desert of Los Cabos gives way to not one, but two coasts, those of the Sea of Cortéz and the Pacific Ocean.

Los Cabos also boast a number of adventure activities like bungy jumping, horseback riding, mountain biking, and more.

Thanks to the area’s easy proximity to Los Angeles and private-jet friendly airport, Los Cabos attracts a celebrities, athletes, and entertainers looking for a getaway.Famous visitors include Jennifer Aniston, George Clooney and of course, there’s former Van Halen frontman Sammy Hagar, who founded the infamous Cabo Wabo Cantina.

While Cabo doesn’t have an indigenous food scene of its own, it has blossomed into a melting pot of Mexican cuisine and farm-to-table principles thanks to businesses like Flora Farms, a restaurant and organic farm that also offers cooking classes, yoga, and shopping. Local cuisine also uses the local bounty of the sea for fresh ceviche and other traditional dishes with a unique Mexican twist on sashimi.
