Las Ventanas al Paraíso, A Rosewood Resort was not just built, it was created...to evoke emotion, to stimulate and satisfy the senses. It rose from a well-thought-out concept:  incorporate and enhance the stunning natural environment, be unique to the upscale yet relaxed destination of Los Cabos, encompass every pleasure, service, comfort and stimuli - to open up "windows to paradise" for each and every guest. The spectacular views from every suite and from virtually anywhere on the property, the emphasis on the natural element of water, unsurpassed quality symbolized by extensive hand craftsmanship, a relaxed idyllic ambiance and every world-class service and amenity coupled with the ultimate in personal attention - these are the essential currents that flow through Las Ventanas. In bringing this level of international resort experience to Los Cabos for the first time, Las Ventanas - by setting new standards and attracting the most sophisticated travelers - was the catalyst for Los Cabos' evolution into Mexico's most upscale destination.

The Las Ventanas al Paraíso experience begins the moment you arrive at the resort. As you enter, the "windows to paradise" immediately open up before you: a panorama of  a flower-filled oasis,  in sand and earth colors, right through the hotel to the azure sea, white sand and verdant green of the 15th hole of the Robert Trent Jones II golf course.

Instead of a check-in desk and computer, you are personally received, served your favorite beverage or cocktail, and personally shown to your suite. On the short walk to your suite, deep-blue waters flow before your eyes -- with the meandering waterways that begin in the open lobby area and spill through a series of ponds and a serpentine network of swimming pools, their infinity-edge designs creating images of an endless horizon.

Passing through an exquisite, hand-carved cedar door, you step into not just a suite but a spacious and sensual living space, and the largest standard guest rooms in Mexico. From virtually anywhere in your suite, visions open up of the ocean, the coastline and/or the golf course. The decor is all beautifully handcrafted, with raised bed platforms with oversized throw pillows, floors of stone and inlaid-pebble work, and unique windows that appear to be mother-of-pearl yet are opaque and transparent at the same time. A spacious dressing area with a basin leads into a large bathroom with separate toilet and shower rooms and a second basin with long, narrow windows on either side creating the ultimate illumination for the closest shaves and perfect make-up application.

The interior and exterior of every suite flow together, separated only by glass doors that completely open up the room to a private terrace. And on your terrace, which has latilla shading for filtered sunlight, are a combination splash-pool and jacuzzi, a luxurious sitting area for relaxing or dining around a hand-tiled table, and lush plants. All suites have a wood-burning, terracotta fireplace and a telescope. In addition, upstairs suites have a private rooftop patio where you can sunbathe, take in expansive panoramas, savor romantic meals, or enjoy the perfect nights gazing at the infinite stars.

Each day at Las Ventanas is filled with a choice of pleasures. At the world-class spa and fitness facility, with separate facilities for men and women, indulge yourself with beauty treatments, massages, steam baths and saunas or do your favorite exercise routines. Play the challenging and exciting 18-hole course, designed by Robert Trent Jones II, that wraps around Las Ventanas and twists and climbs up the hilly desert landscape studded with saguaro and flowering acacia. Lounge around under umbrellas sipping drinks, listening to music on pre-loaded iPods with headsets and enjoying refreshing Evian spritzes provided by the staff. Swim the maze of pools, stopping at the swim-up bar, sitting on an in-water stool. Charter a yacht for excursions to local snorkeling spots or to islands up the Sea of Cortez.  And of course, the concierge will arrange anything you want to do around Los Cabos, from sport fishing and scuba diving to horseback riding.

On the ocean's edge, at the Sea Grill, you'll feel like you're at a special barbecue planned for your pleasure. Ask the chef about the fish, shellfish and meats being cooked, and then choose your entree. Adjacent to the Sea Grill, at The Restaurant, you can dine al fresco on the patios or indoors in air-conditioned comfort. Select a vintage wine from a 2,400-bottle wine room. Sip drinks under huge palapas, the open-air wood-frame shelters with palm-frond thatched roofs.

Las Ventanas is a feast for your senses, garnished by many special touches. When you walk around the hotel at night, open-flame torches illuminate your way -- and create reflections that dance on the waves. Rather than concrete barriers, there are "living walls" of vines and flowers. The sounds of the breaking waves fill your ears. The network of underground service tunnels crisscrossing the resort enable fast service and shield guests from the obtrusive.

Everything has been planned and designed to see, feel, taste and experience the best Los Cabos has to offer. There is always another pleasure, emotion or sensual stimuli to experience, from sipping a margarita on an in-water stool at the swim-up bar to rejuvenating hydrotherapy treatments, from fresh catch grilled in front of you to gazing up at a starry night through your personal telescope. The "windows to paradise" open wide at Los Cabos' finest, and only Five Diamond, resort.
