In early May, we headed to Four Seasons Los Cabos for a family vacation. All nine of us left to relax and enjoy a newer development “Costa Palmas” which is about an hour north (up the coast) from the Cabo airport, and located on the East Cape of Cabo. We were looking to relax on our trip and it was the perfect place (in the middle of nowhere!) to do so!

Getting There

We flew direct from DFW to Los Cabos airport. The flight was about 2.5 hours and went quick! We booked transportation to the hotel through Four Seasons Los Cabos. It was a Sprinter van that had car seats, fit all nine of us, our luggage and golf clubs.

Accommodations

Four Seasons Los Cabos is a rather new property and it’s stunning. There are only 74 rooms on property and each one has a view of the ocean, huge patios and incredible bathrooms/dressing rooms. We all had ocean view rooms and Stia, Caleb and the boys had a plunge pool room, which was perfect for them! Each bathroom has double sinks, huge sliding glass doors to see the ocean, a massive stand alone tub and an amazing shower. It goes with out saying the beds were so comfortable. They are our favorite hotel beds to sleep in! Each night we had fun surprises before dinner – name cookies for the kids to decorate, hummus, churros, etc! Such a great touch.

What to Do

Relax. Swim. Eat amazing food! It truly is a relaxing getaway.

Pools: There are several pools throughout the property. A dedicated adults pool, family pool, plus “hidden” pools spread out all over the property. Cabanas and lounges are everywhere throughout the property , so you never feel like you are trying to fight for a spot (they are all good!).
Beach: Four Seasons Los Cabos has two miles of swimmable beach which is very unique for Cabo. There are tons of water activities, too. We did paddle boarding, snorkeling, water trampoline, beach games, etc.
Bikes: The resort will supply bikes to use throughout your stay and we loved having them to get around the resort!
Golf: One of the most beautiful courses and practice areas I’ve seen. Costa Palmas Golf Club is a quick golf cart ride away from the resort. Our husbands said it was some of the most unique golf they’ve played!
Tennis/Pickleball/Basketball: These are located near the gym and golf pro shop. We had so much fun early in the morning here!
Spa: Wow – the spa is incredible! Beautiful architecture, amazing treatment rooms and the relaxation space with cold pool, warm pool, hot pool, sauna and steam room were amazing. Highly recommend when visiting! The spa amenities are available for all hotel guests to use.

Where to Eat

Ginger’s: This is a casual “snack bar” that has ping pong, pool and an arcade game. We came here for breakfast in the morning to keep it easy and casual for the boys. They have light breakfast (smoothies, juice, acai bowls, muffins, croissants, etc.) It was perfect for us! In the afternoon, Ginger’s has a churro and crepe cart and also makes cotton candy.
Pool: We ate every lunch out by the pool. Some of the best guac, tacos, nachos, etc! Always something to choose from!
Limón: This is where we had dinner our first night and it was perfect! It is all outside in the most beautiful spot. Everything is cooked on an open flame in an open air kitchen and we can’t say enough good things about the food!
Mozza Baja: This restaurant is located at the Costa Palmas Marina, which is a short water taxi from the resort. The boys loved taking the 5 minute boat ride to Mozza. This is another great, outdoor dining option. There were games and lots of activities for the boys to play with while they were waiting for their food. We did a family style dinner, ordered apps, salads, pastas and pizzas. It did not disappoint!
Casa de Brasa: This is the more “casual” restaurant on site at Four Seasons Los Cabos. It’s right next the family pool and the beach. We enjoyed a relaxing meal here.
Estiatorios Milos: This was dinner on our last night and it was amazing. Milos is located beachside and the boys had the best time playing in the sand while we waited for dinner. The feature of Milos is the freshest fish possible, prepared to your liking. Flounder was one option for the catch of the day and we asked for it be prepared simply on the grill with olive, oil, salt and pepper, letting the flavor of the fish shine. The chef brought the whole fish out for us to see before cooking and the boys loved that.

What to Pack

Birthday Weekend in Las Vegas

March 17, 2020

At the beginning of the month, we went to Las Vegas for a quick weekend getaway to celebrate Stia and Caleb’s birthdays. It’s crazy to think that so much has changed in such a short period of time. We had the best time while we were away relaxing in Vegas. We didn’t really realize how much we all needed a weekend away!

We stayed at Four Seasons Las Vegas a year and a half ago and once we stayed there we vowed to never stay anywhere else in Las Vegas! It is truly a paradise in the middle of a very busy city, plus it’s a non-gaming hotel which means no smoking or loud crowds. It is so nice to walk into a peaceful, elegant, smoke free lobby in the midst of the Las Vegas strip! We realize that now with Coronavirus, not many are traveling – but, once things calm down and go back to normal, you’ll want to add Four Seasons Las Vegas to your list!

Five Things We Love about Four Seasons Las Vegas

In addition to everything we mentioned above, and from our last post, here are the five things we love most about Four Seasons Las Vegas:

Very kid-friendly: Las Vegas and kids don’t typically mix, but we had such a great experience with the boys the last time we were at Four Seasons Las Vegas that we didn’t think twice about bringing Ford this time! The Four Seasons Las Vegas is very kid-friendly. We were in one-bedroom suites and there was ample space for Ford to have his crib/room for naps and bed. In addition to providing a crib, the hotel had toiletries, diapers and a welcome gift for Ford. We also love that since it is a non-gaming hotel, the vibe is very relaxed and peaceful. We took advantage of the nanny service one of the nights we were there so that we could go to dinner and a show. Each nanny is background checked, holds certifications and we typically utilize the service at least one night per trip!
Spa/Nail services: The spa and nail salon are beautiful! We were treated to “Martinis and Manicures” to kick off our trip. It was so nice to check in, have a beautiful lunch on the patio and then head to our nail appointment. It was such relaxing experience and we very much enjoyed our margaritas and grapefruit spritz while getting our manicures!
The best breakfast/brunch buffet: We went to Sunday brunch and we sat enjoying our breakfast for a few hours – we had nowhere to be and just enjoyed trying everything! And everything we tried was delicious. The guys enjoyed the signature Bloody Marys and we loved the mimosas with fresh squeezed juice. One of our favorite parts of brunch was the homemade mini donut station where you can choose the icing and topping you would like for each one. So fun and so yummy!
Laid back pool: The Four Seasons Las Vegas pool is a serene, quiet spot – unlike most other Vegas hotel pools. We had a cabana for the day which comes with a fruit platter, mineral water, Evian facial spray, a big screen TV and the best service. Cabana One had plenty of room for the six of us, including room for a pack and play for Ford to take his naps. We stayed the whole day. We had the cabana our last day there and it was the perfect way to finish our trip!
Attention to detail and service: Four Seasons hotels have service unlike any other and Four Seasons Las Vegas is one of the best. Everywhere we went on property we were greeted by name. Caleb’s actual birthday was on our last day and they provided a special birthday surprise during our Cabana day- the best-ever chocolate covered strawberries. We enjoyed in-room dining for breakfast on Monday and it was delicious, on-time and hot. The server even poured our coffee for us to enjoy while he set up our breakfast. In so many ways, the service at Four Seasons Las Vegas is a step above!
Okay, we have to add one more! Even though FS Las Vegas is a non-gaming casino, if you feel like trying your luck, just step through a convenient door and you’re in the Mandalay Bay Hotel casino. Couldn’t be easier.

Those are five of our favorite things about Four Seasons Las Vegas, but there are so many more. Let us know if you have the opportunity to stay at Four Seasons on your next trip to Vegas. We would love to hear what you loved about it!
