Ahhh-mazing!! A world unto itself wrapped in chic white decor, with a calm vibe and indulgent atmosphere…Le Blanc Spa Resort Los Cabos*.
This resort does not have screaming children or loud teens found at other nearby resorts. That’s right — Le Blanc is only for adults. This is the kind of all-inclusive where you’ll find little reason to leave the grounds, since everything from food and drink to entertainment and a luxe spa are all found on-site. Decor throughout is contemporary, with white accents alongside tranquil neutral hues, touches of gray, hardwood, and marble. It all feels chic in a South Beach sort of way, though that does leave it feeling entirely removed from its setting in Mexico.
My partner and I visited Le Blanc during the AB. Family Day week, a couple of years ago, and stayed for 8 days/7 nights. As soon as we arrived, we were greeted with cool towels and coconut milk as well as a flower for me. The check in process was very personal, as they do not have a big front desk counter but several desks where you sit down as you are checked in. The check in process took a maximum of ten minutes and we were taken to our room immediately.
Numerous excellent restaurants, a beautiful pool complex, large spa, and generous all-inclusive rates.
Le Blanc’s level of indulgence is matched by the hotel’s leisure options. The pool complex, laid out like an arrangement of leaves next to the beach, is massive and lined with endless sun loungers. Poolside and beach service are, of course, included, though you cannot swim in the ocean here (the surf is too dangerous, which is common in Cabo). For even more pampering, the spa takes up almost the entire second floor of the resort. The hydrotherapy circuit is free to use, though treatments and massages must be booked in advance and cost extra. There is also a great gym that has trainers as well as classes. You will receive a complimentary drink and a warm shoulder wrap to help you unwind when you arrive.
Le Blanc Los Cabos has generous all-inclusive rates that cover everything from in-room dining to a la carte and buffet meals, top-shelf liquor, as well as all-day snacks and in-room minibars. There are numerous elegant dining spots that offer a wide array of food, though — surprisingly — you won’t find a dedicated Mexican spot on-site. Mezze is easily the star of the show, with delicious Mediterranean and Middle Eastern fare (in fact, it is the only such restaurant in Los Cabos as of late 2018). Other favorites are the Italian and pizza options. There are also numerous bars to grab a cocktail, as well as a roster of evening entertainment in both Blanc Stage and its outdoor bar. Do not expect loud DJs or anything like that — it was low-key flamenco music when we visited (a perfect match for the warm nights). Room service is included and available around the clock. All gratuities are included in rates as well.
The accommodation at Le Blanc is spacious and tranquil, with balconies and beautiful bathrooms that feature separate soaking tubs and showers.
We stayed in the Royal Governor’s Suite and are now spoilt with regards to staying in any other room…anywhere! This suite included a king size bed, several balconies, a sitting area and the jacuzzi was between the bedroom and bathroom. We are big balcony people and spent many cocktail hours enjoying the views of the pools and ocean. The room was kept spotless throughout our stay and our every request of more towels or toiletries was fulfilled immediately. Also, every evening our butler will come to our room to bring us delicious chocolate treats.
