Our driver drove through the Pedregal gates and received a warm and friendly welcome from the gate guards, who directed our driver on the route to the house. We arrived at the house to be greeted by Isabelle, the representative from Earth, Sea & Sky Vacations, Inc. who we had booked this glorious villa through. We had arranged for our villa to be stocked with food and beverages, and sure enough all the items we ordered (some of them even special ordered) were stocked in the refrigerator, as expected. What was not expected was the mansion-like villa we were to stay for four relaxing days.

My guests and I were surprised to find that almost every room in this 12,000 square foot villa had a view of the ocean. We all went out on the deck to enjoy the appetizers provided, by what we now thought of as our gracious host, Isabelle.

Of course we couldn’t wait to see each of our bedrooms. Each of the rooms was equally impressive, until we reached the master bedroom. My husband and I unpacked in the most wonderful room we had ever stayed in. Most of the bedrooms had a private deck and enough privacy that we could have stayed a year, even with this large group of people.

Our first afternoon was spent sunning on the grand deck, switching our time between the pool and the Jacuzzi, while sipping champagne. We all thought aloud that the driver was right, we felt like movie stars.

Normally we stayed in and cooked dinner in the wondrous kitchen, which had every utensil needed to create a gourmet meal, and had a relaxing dinner on one of the many outdoor dining areas and went to bed early, so as to be rested for the next day.

Each morning we woke to a beautiful sunrise and didn’t even need to get out of bed. What a great way to wake up. Our normal morning routine consisted of making our way down to the kitchen, making coffee, and heading out to one of several ocean-front decks to enjoy the sunrise and watch the gorgeous blue Pacific. We had planned on spending more time in downtown Cabo, but found that none of us could stand to leave the villa; it was just too good to be true!

After we retired to our separate rooms to shower and change for dinner, we gathered to watch the sunset from our pool deck. Absolutely incredible, we were speechless!

Isabelle had graciously offered to make reservations one evening at her favorite restaurant, Edith’s. We walked in and really felt authentic México, from the music to the food. Great dinner, great atmosphere and friendly wait staff.
