Have spent many magical days and nights out here and it really is authentic old Baja. I have happy memories of campfires on the beach with great friends after long days of adventure - love this place.

It's an hour out of Cabo. It's my least favorite four seasons so far. The pricing for food and beverages seemed high even for one of their properties and the staff could be a bit hit or miss. They lost my luggage for an hour at check in after they insisted they would bring it to my room despite my protests due to a work event I needed to change for shortly after check in.

This very fresh Robert Trent Jones jr. designed resort golf course is one that you can actually walk. Tucked away on the East Cape and surrounded by natural beauty, this laid back club is divided into three 6 hole loops and has amazing views of the Sea of Cortez. PRO TIP: get a quick lesson from head pro Lizzy Coghill on the epic practice facility to smooth out any trouble shots before your round.

We stayed at the Four Seasons and played at the Costa Palmas Golf Club. An RTJ course in East Cape Baja region right on SEA of Cortez. Beautiful Open layout. Lot of beach bunkers. Several blindshot holes. I'd go there early to experience their hospitality....breakfast, full service driving range, .... and also stop at #8 hole to have lunch/drinks.
