Cabo San Lucas - The Resort at Pedregal

Cabo San Lucas - The Resort at Pedregal

After a late night... a late morning.   The beautiful view from our terrace.

Oh yeah, a filling breakfast goes a long way to help with the hangover.

It was well after noon by the time we finally left our room.  OMG, from 68 degrees to over 100 outside.  Yikes.  Despite the oppressive heat, I decided to explore.

Despite the 100+ degree temps, lots of crazies out in the sun.

The fitness center is the place to be today with much nicer 70 degree temps.

... and a view.

 Now after 2pm, we headed for a light lunch at Don Manuel's, near the beach.

Much more pleasant inside with cooling fans.

Food was excellent as we shared the Blue Fin Tuna...

... and shrimp tacos.  Fabulous.

Then back up to the room to cool down.  A little after 4pm, snack time!  With some creature moving in from the left.  LOL.

By 7pm, the temps had cooled into the upper 80s, and the walk to dinner was more pleasant.

Tonight we're dining at el Farallon, the resort's signature cliff side restaurant.

A drink to start as the sun sets...

el Farallon serves a 4 course quasi prix fixe menu featuring ocean-to-table selections.  The starters are standard, you just have to pick your main and two sides from a variety of choices... all explained here prior to being seated.

 

Yummy bread basket.

Up first, excellent clam chowder.

Then a trio of delicious starters.

The octopus was sensational.

The ceviche divine.

And a lovely beet salad.

Our mains.  Mrs. SFO777 enjoyed the Mexican red snapper and her sides of Mexican rice and zucchini.

And my Cajun shrimp with sides of roasted tomato with pesto and capellini with home made chorizo.  Fabulous. 

And desserts to die for.

Heading back to our room after a wonderful meal.

Poolside entertainment, nice with a drink at the bar.  Not so nice in our room.  Mercifully, they packed it in at 10pm.

The view from our room, with el Farallon off in the distance cliffside.

The Resort at Pedregal
Cabo San Lucas

 

Cabo San Lucas is a roughly 45 minute drive from the airport.  The Resort is just on the other side of downtown party town Cabo.  Pretty cool entrance thru an impressive chandelier lit tunnel under a mountain.

  The Resort at Pedegral is simply a wonderful resort in a glorious setting.  But the most memorable aspect was the service... friendly and wonderful staff with amazing attention to detail.  Easy to understand why The Resort at Pedregal was recently voted the #1 Resort Hotel in Mexico.  

Although I had booked a basic Ocean View King, our Virtuoso booking got us an upgrade to a Ocean View Deluxe King, complimentary breakfast and $150 credit.  Very nice room although a little dated and showing its age.

 

With a great terrace...

... including plunge pool.

At 4pm, our daily afternoon snack tray.   Despite the 95 degree temps, a cooling ocean breeze made it very pleasant in the late afternoon.

Just after 7pm, we headed out for the 15 minute drive to a gated community adjacent to Esperanza.

And a special birthday fireworks.

After a fun evening of partying, we arrived back at our hotel well after midnight.
