The Westin Los Cabos Resort Villas & Spa is located in Cabo San Lucas, overlooking the Sea of Cortez and offering access to a private beach. First things first: get changed into swimsuits and spray everyone head-to-toe in sunblock. The resort pools will be a big hit with grownups and kids alike. There are two outdoor infinity pools – one with a swim-up pool bar – as well as a shallow family pool to splash around with the little ones. When the kids get hungry, fire up the bbq grills for a fun family cookout. After lunch, drop the kids off at the Westin Family Kids Club, where little ones and big kids aged four through twelve can hang out and participate in supervised activities while the grownups have a little “me” time. Get in a workout at the fitness center, get in touch with your inner athlete at the tennis courts, or relax with a massage, facial, or body treatment at the full-service spa, Spa Otomí.

Air-conditioned studio, one-, and two-bedroom villas sleep four to six guests. Stop by the on-site convenience store to stock your kitchenette; it has a mini refrigerator, microwave, and a two-burner stovetop. Don’t feel like cooking? No problem. The resort has three restaurants and a sports bar. Back in your villa, catch a sitcom rerun on the HDTV, or bring favorite movies from home and have a family movie night thanks to the DVD player. One- and two-bedroom villas have in-suite washer/dryers allowing you to pack light. Your family should have no trouble drifting off to sleep at the end of the night thanks to the Westin Heavenly Beds.

Puerto Paraiso is the biggest mall in Cabo, and it’s just over twenty minutes away from the resort. Check out the apparel at Kenneth Cole, Tommy Bahama, Pacific Blue or Forever 21. Grab a new pair of shades at Sunglass Island or Sunglass Hut. Pick up a new swimsuit at Beach House, Azul, or Tropica Boutique. You’ll find footwear at Flexi, Soul Shoes, Innova Sports, and Skechers. Hungry? Dine at Ladiere Pizza or Misaky Sushi. Cabo Adventures offers fun and exciting experiences that everyone in the family will enjoy. Swim with or ride a dolphin. Go snorkeling, whale watching or luxury day sailing. Ride a mountain bike or enjoy a camel safari. Visit the Arch of Cabo San Lucas, a popular photo destination for tourists. Known locally as “El Arco,” this limestone arch was carved by time, wind, and tide. Tours and activities at the Arch include snorkeling, sailing, and dinner cruises.
