Spotlight on Los Cabos’ Las Ventanas Al Paraiso During its 25th Anniversary
byDaniel McCarthy/It has been 25 years since Las Ventanas Al Paraiso, a Rosewood Resort, opened in Mexico’s Los Cabos resort city as a desert beach hideaway that quickly become known as one of the premier resorts in one of the world’s premier destinations.
该度假胜地位于距离圣何塞(San Jose Del Cabo)国际机场,洛斯卡波斯(Los Cabos)的主要空气中心仅20分钟车程,大约在Cabo San Lucas和San Jose之间的一半,于今年7月正式庆祝了其25周年。
The property, which is owned by American billionaire Ty Warner who made his fortune from creating Beanie Babies’ parent company Ty Inc. and operated by Rosewood, has long been known as one of the premier “Celebration Hotels” of the area, but over its quarter-decade in operation, it has evolved both in its offerings and its guest pool.
Jennifer Torres, Las Ventanas Al Paraiso’s senior communications and marketing manager told TMR this week that the resort’s average age group is now between 35 and 42 years old. Typical guests are mainly affluent travelers from North America (80% of its guests are U.S.-based) who tend to repeat at the property (Torres estimates that about half of all guests at the property at any time have been there prior).
The pandemic has shifted some of those trends for Las Ventanas—just like so many others, the property is seeing more guests extend their stay (the typical length of stay is three nights) in order to blend a leisure trip with some work days at the resort.
That younger cohort, compared to the earlier years of the resort, is also attracted by some new additions to the resort including La Botica, a speakeasy piano bar that serves craft cocktails and light bites, which opened two years ago, and a lazy river on-site. La Botica also sports the resort’s first artist-in-residence, Rosalía de Cuba, who serenades guests each night.
对度假村的关注也增加了,就像墨西哥和加勒比海地区的许多其他人一样,在大流行期间受益于欧洲。托雷斯(Torres)告诉TMR,它在复兴后重新开放后的第一年是“有史以来最好的一年”。
尽管如此,尽管发生了变化,但托雷斯告诉TMR,对服务和细节的奉献精神一直是该度假胜地在过去四个十年中成功的常数。
“The staff is all about attention to detail and all about sharing information on what guest preferences are,” she said.
That’s made easier for the staff as the guest-to-staff ratio remains incredibly low—for the 81 accommodations, Las Ventanas employs more than 700 associates, some of which who have been with the property for all 25 years.
Accommodations
该物业内部有三个级别的住宿。第一个是少年套房,范围从960到1,400平方英尺,可以包括海景景色,露台和按摩浴缸。
第二个是套房,从2,100到3,900平方英尺不等,提供两到三间卧室,以及一间最高产品,两居室Ty Warner Penthouse,包括其自己的酒窖,屋顶露台和室外Jacuzzi。
The last is the resort’s Villas, which go from 3,900 sq. ft. To 7,800 sq. ft. All of its villas include a private infinity pool and patio, a large living room, a full kitchen, a pantry, and an outdoor dining area.
除了这三个外,还有一些招牌别墅和财产上的签名住宅,以及Ty Warner Mansion,这是一个巨大的28,000平方英尺。策划的海滨豪华住宿,可容纳五位客人,并随身携带屋顶游泳池, a 24/7 car service, your own mansion manager, and some other, special touches that you can’t find anywhere else.
在定价方面,只有豪宅是全包。豪宅的定价起价为35000美元,加上税收和费用。
