From the tastiest dishes to the most blissful spa treatments, Vazquez lets us in on his personal Cabo secrets. And no need to keep this to yourself—feel free to share these tips with your beach-loving friends.
Why gay travelers return to Los Cabos year after year:
“The locals and people in general won’t treat you any differently. The environment is open minded and you can be yourself.”
Give us the full scoop on Hilton Los Cabos Beach & Golf Resort:
“The level of service is just incredible. It feels very comfy and private, and all rooms have ocean views, separate tubs and private terraces. Plus, right from the beachfront you can witness the hatching of the Olive Ridley sea turtle, a preservation project the hotel is deeply involved with. “
What gives the Hilton Los Cabos that “wow” factor?
“One unique thing is access to a sandy cove beach where you can actually swim. Swimming in many parts of Cabo can be dangerous, but this little crescent gem is safe.”
Super-fun, heart-pumping activities:
“Zip-lining in the desert and riding a camel along the shore are two fun outdoor activities. Follow that up with a relaxing visit to our on-site Eforea Spa, where we offer blissful couples massages.”
Tastiest hotel restaurant dish:
“My favorite dish is the octopus salad — very tasty. And I always opt for a mojito —they are just so fresh and delicious!”
How are the VIP experiences with La Vista Club & Lounge?
“I love the sleek furniture and the turndown service with aromatherapy. After a long day of outdoor activities, it’s nice to relax and meditate a little. The preferred pool seating area gives you a sense of privacy, and I love when the guacamole and chips come out at 1 p.m. everyday.”
So what’s a “VIP Experience Coordinator”?
“It’s the job of a VIP Experience Coordinator to make your stay at Hilton Los Cabos very enjoyable, from helping you get tickets to outside events to making dinner reservations. They’re very detail oriented, and always try to arrange something special for you.”
Best off-site place to grab a bite:
“You can’t go wrong with any of the places in downtown San Jose del Cabo. This area is very artsy and full of great gourmet experiences, from Mexican to international cuisine.”
Liveliest gay-friendly bar/club:
“The OMNIA Los Cabos is a dayclub/beach club with a nice pool and cabanas for rent.”
Can’t-miss treatment at Eforea Spa:
“The Ultimate Couples Getaway is such a treat. It combines reflexology, massage, and Jacuzzi. So revitalizing!”
Are same-sex weddings here an option?
“Hilton offers everything for a wedding, including planning, organizing, and coordinating. No need to worry about anything! The last same-sex wedding here was so well prepared — our staff is amazing at what they do.”
Top place to bliss out, at the hotel and off-site:
“Definitely the infinity pool, where you can admire the palm trees and savor the perfect sunset. Off property, Chileno Beach it is a great spot to snorkel or hang out, especially on a Sunday.”
What’s something only Los Cabos has?
“Nature scenes that showcase the contrast between the Sea of Cortez and the desert. Simply stunning!”
Best time for LGBT vacations?
“The weather is great in March and you can actually see whales!”
The perfect day in Los Cabos includes…
