Y’all… let me put you on real quick. If you’ve been daydreaming about the perfect getaway, let me tell you about Hacienda Encantada Resort & Residences in Los Cabos, Mexico. This place is nothing short of magical. Imagine standing on a scenic cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean, the salty breeze brushing your face. From the moment I arrived, I felt like I had stepped into a completely different world — a world I didn’t want to leave.

So, let’s talk about the room situation, or better yet… the suite life. Spacious, stunning, and dripping in authentic Mexican architecture and artwork that gave it a vibe unlike anything I’ve experienced before. And can we have a moment for the balcony access? Yes, honey, not just one but two entrances —from both the bedroom and the living room! Waking up every morning to that breathtaking ocean view? Pure magic. It was like a postcard had come to life right outside my door.

Now, you know I love me some good food, and Hacienda Encantada? Oh, they understood the assignment. I went for the all-inclusive package (and honestly, you should too). Every single meal was a flavor-packed journey through authentic Mexican cuisine. No watered-down flavors here — just vibrant, bold, real food. Breakfast was my absolute fave — think fresh, delicious dishes paired with mimosas to kick off the day. Because, let’s be real, when in Cabo, mimosas are a MUST!

And let me tell you, this resort isn’t just a pretty face; they are here to help you reset. The amenities were everything I didn’t know I needed. From lounging by the pool with a cocktail in hand to indulging in a world-class spa experience (temazcal included!), every moment was designed for relaxation and reconnection — mind, body, and soul. They even had a smoothie bar for when I needed a healthy pick-me-up between my lounging sessions.

But what really stole my heart? The way every little detail of this resort is rooted in Mexican culture. From the décor to the food to the overall energy of the place, it’s a beautiful, authentic experience that goes beyond just being a vacation.
