Rukhsana is a very intuitive and peaceful person who made me feel welcome and relaxed about my visit! I had the one-hour consultation first which established my ayurvedic body type and the treatment that would suit me best. Then followed the warm oil body massage. Well, the whole experience was so relaxing and pleasant, helped by such a welcoming family on their gorgeous, peaceful retreat property. Stunning vistas and extensive gardens for unwinding in! I would highly recommend that you treat yourself and spend a day (at least!) sampling the experience. Thank you Rukhsana and Sameena for a wonderful experience. :)

A great beach to visit during your stay in either Cabo San Lucas or San Jose del Cabo. Not all the beaches in Los Cabos are swimmable, but Costa Azul is a great area for surfing and relaxing. Some good food in the area as well will have me coming back to this section during future trips. Well worth the visit. If you don't want to park on the dirt/beach area with your rental car, check out the small lot at Zippers Bar and Grill. Enjoy

A spectacular beach where tourists come to view the sea lions in the month of June.

We really enjoyed this nature walk. You pick up the path just north of the Holiday Inn, which is located on the beach at the east end of the Hotel district. The pathway is not closed, however debris is still evident as they continue to clean up from a recent storm. The pathway to the right, which we took, takes you towards the ocean, within a half mile of fairly easy walking. Your shoes will get a bit muddy as you encounter some low lying area near the estuary water bodies. You'll see hundreds if not thousands of birds of many species. We saw a hawk dive-bomb hunting for fish in the water (around 10am). The spot where the estuary meets the ocean is a very unique feature, has many birds feeding, and is worth exploring.

This is a beautiful beach. One thing we were surprised at was the strong waves we saw on a semi-regular basis. Some of the waves were over 10 feet tall. This is not a great place for family swimming but you can certainly enjoy the view. There are vendors selling all sorts of hats, cover-ups, t-shirts and other souvenirs. There were people selling horseback rides along the surf as well. We saw several whales surfacing in the distance. Depending on when you come, the whales mate, feed and give birth in this region so you are likely to see some whales.

Rode bikes from El Ganzo to the gardens. There was so much beauty and interesting cactus to see. You could spend hours just enjoying the peace.
