ACRE, San Jose del Cabo, Baja California – May 2021

May 1, 2021 by DaveLeave a Comment

This 25 acre palm studded oasis founded by two Canadians sits on the edge of the Sierra de la Laguna foothills, a short drive from the center of San Jose del Cabo. Depending on the route one may pass through over narrow dirt roads - past primitive looking pens holding cows - a complete contrast in comparison to the well-kept and orderly grounds of the resort.

New friends immediately found. Only open for dinner. No reservations? Come a few minutes before 430pm for their soft opening and hopefully catch a seat at the bar or a few … [Read more...]
