Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, is served by Los Cabos International Airport in San José del Cabo, which is a 45-minute drive from the Hacienda Encantada Resort & Residences. The airport is one of the busiest in Mexico and offers domestic and international flights from several airlines.

Cabo enjoys beautiful weather year-round, with the highest temperatures from June through October, with highs in the low 90s. The best time to visit Cabo San Lucas is May and June, when the winter crowds are gone and the summer tropical storms have not yet hit. October and November are beautiful for a fall vacation, when the temperatures are moderate. Pacific hurricane season comes from mid-May to November, but Cabo generally only experiences tropical storms.

The time zone in Cabo San Lucas, Baja California Sur, Mexico is Mexican Pacific Daylight, which is the same as Mountain Standard Time and one hour later than Pacific Standard Time and California.

Los Cabos is the top tourist and vacation destination on Mexico's Baja Peninsula. And according to the Los Cabos Tourism Board it is safe to travel here. In any foreign place you travel to, be cautious of your surroundings, stay close to the resort, use GPS, and keep your money hidden. Let our concierge help you get around and explore Cabo safely.

Shaving is recommended for men prior to a facial so the skin is revealed for treatment. If you do shave before your facial, be sure to do so 6 to 8 hours prior to your spa appointment as some lotions are abrasive and can irritate the skin. Shaving is not recommended prior to any body treatment or hair removal services.

Should you take it off or not? Massage and body treatments are best enjoyed in the buff. During spa treatments, the body is draped, except for the area being worked on. We suggest wearing whatever is comfortable and loose fitting so you can easily get changed. We offer bathrobes, sandals and towels, as well as lockers for your clothing and personal items. If traveling light to the spa, wear a bathing suit and flipflops.

The spa is designed for the enjoyment of our adult guests. To receive treatment, guests must be 18 years and older. Guests under 18 require an adult to be present through the spa service.

We recommend always arriving early or at least on time for your spa treatment so you can relax and get the total experience. Arriving late will deprive you of your full spa treatment time. As a courtesy to our next guest, your treatment will end at the time originally scheduled.

Morning appointments must be canceled the day before your treatment to avoid charges. For appointments in the evenings, please give us 4 hours notice before cancellation or rescheduling your appointment, otherwise it will be charged to your account as a "no show" with 100% of your treatment cost.

If you are staying in the hotel, please leave valuable items in the safe in your guestroom. Otherwise, a locker is available for your personal items.

Plan to arrive at least 20 minutes prior to your spa appointment. This allows you plenty of time to check in, change, use the steam room, and begin the relaxation process.

No. At Hacienda Encantada,your special day will be all about you and only you. We only host one wedding ceremony and reception a day so we can focus on making sure the venue, the food and the service is impeccable.

The symbolic ceremony is performed by a minister and the marriage certificate you get from him is not a marriage license. The ceremony is performed in English and your ceremony is fully customizable. You will not need to bring or send any paperwork or do a blood test. The legal ceremony is performed by a justice of the peace and the marriage certificate you get is a valid marriage license that must be apostilled to make it legal in the US. The ceremony is performed in Spanish (simultaneously translated by a friend or wedding coordinator), and it must be said word for word. You will be asked for documentation and blood test results in order to have this ceremony.

It is highly recommended to schedule your ceremony 1½ or 2 hours before the sunset, so that your photographer is able to capture the perfect lighting and take unforgettable pictures. This ensures that there is enough time for the ceremony at sunset and for pictures afterwards s the sun sinks into the sea.

In case of unfavorable weather conditions for an outdoor wedding, the ceremony will be moved to an indoor venue.

All of our packages include the services of a professional wedding coordinator. Services include site coordination on your wedding day, all meetings with you (even if you visit the resort before the wedding and require a meeting at that point), and comprehensive planning for the wedding. If you would still like to contract an external wedding coordinator, we can provide you with some local recommendations.
