For the most atmospheric golf resort on your Mexico golf vacation, stay at the One&Only Palmilla.
The Palmilla, which opened in 1956, was the very first upscale hotel in the Los Cabos, Mexico region. Long a favorite with the Hollywood celebrities seeking privacy on a Mexico golf vacation, guests frequently arrived by yacht or seaplane before the international airport was built.
Today, Los Cabos is a popular international destination for a Mexico golf vacation. The region is known as "Mexico's Hawaii" for its consistently great weather and array of first class hotels, golf and restaurants.
When One & Only Resorts acquired the Palmilla, it spared no expense -- $90 million -- in upgrading the rooms, food and service, and transforming it into one of the finest luxury properties for a Mexico golf vacation.
The original rooms were renovated but still maintain their historic charm and Mexican furnishings, while a new wing was added with accommodations that are more modern and luxurious. Each has a balcony with breathtaking views of the Sea of Cortez, and much of the year you can see migrating grey whales or dolphins, especially with the provided telescopes.
Balconies are large enough to host cocktail parties and perfect for room service breakfasts on your Mexico golf vacation. Bathrooms are immense. Each room is individually decorated with custom-made local furnishings, as well as flat screen TVs and DVD players.
Most impressive is the butler service, which comes standard with the pricy rooms in the new wing. Each assigned butler lives on the property for the duration of his guests' Mexico golf vacation, and can be summoned, day or night, by a speed dial on a loaner cell phone. Going far beyond the usual concierge duties of arranging tee times, spa appointments, fishing and transportation, butlers provide a level of service that is nothing short of spectacular on your Mexico golf vacation.
