Slow Baja - Travel Talk With Slow Baja We Tell You About Our Stay At The Beautiful Tesoro Resort Los Cabos

Episode Date: March 23, 2021

In today's Travel Talk with Slow Baja, we sit down for a quick chat with Marlen Ahumada, Sales Director of the Tesoro Resorts Los Cabos. On the 2021 BajaXL Rally, we stayed at the Tesoro, and we were amazed by our accommodations, the hospitality, and the entire Tesoro experience. An adult beverage greeted us upon arrival as we booked the all-inclusive plan. After dropping our bags in our marina-view Junior Suite, we dined on surf and turf tacos at the Lighthouse Restaurant. One of four restaurants on the hotel grounds, the Lighthouse, is located on the marina walk. The food was tasty, the drinks plentiful, and the view and people-watching were terrific. We took a walk around the marina and downtown after dinner and would love to come back to take in the legendary Cabo bar scene -only a short walk away. The breakfast buffet at the Sky Pool had all the options that one would want, and Ted and I enjoyed watching the sport-fishing boats head out. After breakfast, we sought out Marlen to talk to her about the Tesoro Los Cabos Resort and the current promotional offerings. All good things must come to an end, and we had to get on our way, too. Reluctantly, we packed up Slow Baja, vowing that we would return soon. The Tesoro Los Cabos is Slow Baja approved!

It is a small brand, but we have the other hotels, Extape and Masanillo.

They are completely all-inclusive. Tesoro Los Cabos is the only hotel in the brand. we have Everett like EP and Breakfast Plan and All Inclusive. But this is a company is growing and we think we can open more hotels after this. Yeah. Sadly, these are tough times in the travel industry, but I can attest that the hospitality here has been spectacular. So I hope that once things open up more and people,

are vaccinated and they'll get back to traveling and seeing the warm smiles and the warm sun and the great food and and coming back here to Cabo San Lucas.
