Honestly- if I could go back here, i would. So much luxury. It's the one in Cabo.

You have your own personal butler. If you want anything- they get it for you immediately. I don't know if they are spying or what, LOL. We would be on the beach laying out and I would say to Mark, I believe I need a drink and Whoop- The butler would be by my side before i had finished my sentence.
They come to you while you are laying out and spray "oxygen water" all around you- to mist you and cool you off. you don't carry your towels to the beach- they take them for you and they are ready as you get there. your drink is already there before you get there, b/c on the way down from your room they have called ahead and placed the order. They have a lady in the bathrooms (public, but guests only) that her sole job is to go into the stall when you are finished and FOLD THE TP INTO A POINT. Then she walks to the sink, hands you a towel, and then opens the door for you.

We left the resort one day to go into Los Cabos for some shopping. We took a cab- it was me and two of my girlfriends- when we got back, we pulled up to the gate, the guard looked in at me, and said "Welcome Back, Senora ________" and said my last name. I turned around to my friend Jen and said "OMG, he knew who I was." Bizarre, but deliciously lavish. You actually FEEL important there.

It's unbelievable.

Kelly Preston, John Travolta's wife, rented this whole resort out for his 50th B-day party. We stayed in the casita that Robin Williams had stayed in. As we were arriving to the resort, Matthew Mcconneghy was leaving, Charlize Theron had been there the day before, and on our last day, Jason Priestly arrived with his new bride for their honeymoon. He sat at the pool and read over scripts while we were all .

DH's company rented the entire resort out- that's how we got to go. I never would have know about it otherwise.
A few pics: these were already on my Photobucket account. I will go drag some more out for you.

Room Service! YUMM-O!

Each room has it's own telescope-

Fell asleep on this a few nights, LOL.

Awesome - just awesome - Thanks Jo!

What a great view from your room! I could sit there all day, between the times I am in the ocean and the pool and eating, of course.

RF- notice I said Mark's company paid for it...
If we save for a long time and don't send the kids to college, we might could go back when the little beggars run off and get married. who needs an education anyway???

Okay, remember I said we went to two places? Up next is the resort we paid for...
and honestly, I tink it was just as wonderful, minus the whole butler thing.

Jo

Coming right up...

Who needs education? Kids? What kids? I don't have any kids! (Selective memory loss)

I loved not having to worry about anything!

Okay, we were really blessed when we checked into this hotel- I told Mark to ask if they had any upgrades for us... the man said "Let me see what we can do for you..." OMG!!!!!!!!! We got the premiere room in the hotel, let me tell you!

Looking at the hotel, see the bldg on the left that has the little umbrellas under it? That was our bldg. The umbrellas were the restaurant. our room was two stories above it- on the left front corner- where the balcony is. We had TWO HUGE balconies- one on each side of our room.

Off of our first balcony- facing the water- at sunrise

Pool right below-

Second balcony- picture taken while standing on our first balcony-

From inside our room-

The only pic I have of the room- it looked better than this- we had been in it for a couple of days by then-

view from second balcony-

That resort looked great as well... maybe the whole butler thing is missing but it still is GREAT looking....

Well, the Sheraton is a much larger hotel.
The Palmilla is known for attracting stars, b/c of the whole privacy thing. It's smaller, more private.
The Sheraton was a big, fun time.

We didn't take kids on that vacation.

If you go to Cabo, you have to go to El Squid Roe....
http://www.elsquidroe.com/ It's world renowned for the craziness of itself-

I saw things in that bar I hope to never see again, LOL.

My eyes, my eyes, hahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!

Who needs education? Kids? What kids? I don't have any kids! (Selective memory loss)

That sounds like a saying I have...

"Who are all these kids? And why are they calling me MOM???"
