www.ParentingOC.com 78 Parenting OC Magazine | March 2017 If you visited the region in your youth or have a preconceived notion of what "going to Cabo" is all about, you'll want to toss that our the ventana right now. Just a short fifteen minute spin up the coast from downtown Cabo San Lucas, with its party atmosphere and bustling shops and tequila tasting opps, is the sleepy seaside retreat that the Hacienda Del Mar calls home. This tucked away oceanfront enclave is by col- orful Mediterranean architecture, a serene charm that exudes from the cushy loungers flanking the pool with a view, to the private Tortuga Beach overlooking the Sea of Cortez. Five pools create the perfect oasis for any taste, from a family- friendly spot featuring a waterslide, splash-pad area and unique mini-waterfall, to the adult-only perch above the sea where the slightest wave of a hand beckons a tasty, frosty top shelf margarita. A happy medium offers zero entry floatzones at one end and a swim up bar at the other. Golfing moms and dads can turn the littles loose at the charm- ingly decorated Adventure Kids Club and hit the links, while those looking to slow it down a little can sneak off to the Cactus Spa for a couple's massage. If you spent a little too much time enjoying the rays, opt for the After Sun soothing and cooling wrap, boasting a potent compound of White Water Lily combined with Green Tea extract to undo the damage. With three restaurants on resort property, you might not even need to venture into the town. Though if you do, we highly recom- mend SUR by Bar Esquina (www.surcabo.com/) for amazing fresh and artful sushi overlooking a charming section of golden sand beach. Time for sunset and bring the suits for the kids, hopping a Sheraton Grand Los Cabos Hacienda Del Mar www.sheratonhaciendadelmar.com Hacienda Del Mar looks tempting from any angle. Kids have a hangout of their own to enjoy with their friends.
