Secrets Marquis Los Cabos

The creators of Secrets Marquis Los Cabos aimed for the brilliance of a well-cut marquise diamond for their gem-of-a-resort on the tip of Mexico's Baja Peninsula. Today every seaside facet—from the Clef d'Or concierge to the state-of-the-art meeting rooms&mdash:reflects the founders' concern for quality to match the world's most discriminating tastes.

The conference center rests on the main building's second floor, where groups have their own check-in foyer and service ramp for deliveries. Meetings and parties for up to 500 gather in the Mar de Cortés ballroom, while smaller groups of up to 300 gather in the junior ballroom, Los Océanos. For breakouts, both divide into four smaller spaces and a third room doubles as an expanded stage for audiovisual presentations and live entertainment. For top executives, the business center's boardroom holds meetings of up to eight delegates in seclusion downstairs.

The emphasis on privacy and quality continues in the 28 casitas and 209 suites, including the master suites within Club Marquis that share a private lounge and butler service. The choice of restaurants ranges from exquisite to casually elegant to barefoot by the pool. Additional leisure highlights at hand start with an irresistible white-sand beach and go on to the largest, most comprehensive spa and fitness center in Los Cabos and world-class golf at Cabo del Sol nearby and Cabo Real just a few short steps away.
