Los Cabos has a double personality. There’s Cabo San Lucas, the deep-sea fishing mecca and party capital at Land’s End; and, 20 miles away, San Jose del Cabo (St. Joseph of the Cape), a charming colonial town situated on the west bank of the nearby Río San José.

Katherine Pullen Locket is the director of interior design for Pueblo Bonito Golf & Spa Resorts. It’s a big job, one she’s held for years. In addition to overseeing the interior design of existing hotels and new properties such as the Pueblo Bonito Vantage San Miguel de Allende (slated to open next year), she also guides the look and style of the real estate projects within Quivira Los Cabos. It’s an impressive list: Copala, Coronado, Mavila, and under-construction projects such as Alvar, St. Regis Resort & Residences, and Old Lighthouse Golf and Ocean Club.

There is no shortage of souvenir shops in Cabo San Lucas. In fact, you can find one on nearly every corner of the marina and its adjoining side streets. However, if you’re looking for a more interesting shopping experience—places where the merchandise is well-priced and worthwhile—make your way to one of two special shopping experiences. 

Once again, Antonio Reynante, Quivira’s director of golf, corrects a common swing fault that prevents many amateurs from playing to their full potential. In this segment, he addresses the vital importance of neutralizing your grip and “releasing the right side” to square up the clubface at impact.

Quivira owners who happen to be avid tennis fans, take note: the sixth edition of the ATP tournament, or Los Cabos Open, will return this summer, with singles and doubles matches scheduled from August 1 – 6.

Because many locals in Los Cabos speak English, it’s easy to be lazy-minded when it comes to learning Spanish here. By mastering a few basic phrases, you’ll earn the appreciation of residents. While Spanish pronunciations are somewhat challenging and a bit different from English, overcome your reticence and give it a try. The locals will love you for it.

So you’re visiting Los Cabos, the hottest destination in all of Latin America. Maybe you’ve even invested in a property here. Congratulations. This vibrant Land’s End getaway at the tip of the Baja Peninsula is magical place where the mountains meet the desert and the desert meets the sea. It’s also a safe, family-friendly destination.

A room with a view? They are plentiful throughout the various hospitality entities within Quivira Los Cabos. In a few cases, serendipitous geography yields panoramic ocean views from rocky mounts that are simply breathtaking. But there are also a couple of venues set just about beach level that are just as inspiring.

It is one of the great ironies of Mexican history. Cinco de Mayo (May 5) commemorates the anniversary of Mexico's victory over the French Empire at the Battle of Puebla in 1862. It does not equate to Mexico’s Independence Day (September 16), the most important national holiday in Mexico. Aside from military parades and battle reenactments in Puebla and a few other cities, May 5 is not widely celebrated south of the border. For example, Cinco de Mayo is not a federal holiday. Banks, offices and stores remain open.

The Travelers Guide to Mexico is an invaluable tourism resource produced in Mexico and available in a bilingual edition. The guide’s description of Pueblos Magicos, or Magical Towns, is instructive.

There it stands at Land’s End, a rock of the ages, a natural sea arch and the unflinching backdrop for more selfies than any other landmark in Los Cabos.

It’s nearly impossible to page through a local lifestyle magazine or scroll through a destination-based website without seeing an image of this distinctive rock formation.

Pueblo Bonito Resorts’ commitment to service does not stop with our guests and residents; it reaches to our employees and into the broader, overlapping communities where are properties are located. Funded through private donations, the Letty Coppel Foundation (Fundación Letty Coppel) strives to improve the quality of life within the Los Cabos and Mazatlán communities.

Antonio Reynante, director of golf at Quivira Golf Club, is a practical man. He does not believe that golf needs to be more complicated than it already is. He stresses bedrock fundamentals, not passing fads. His take on golf instruction removes a lot of the mystery and muddle surrounding the proper execution of the full golf swing.
