The Cape, A Thompson Hotel

The place

On the waterfront at Monuments Beach, Cabo San Lucas. The Cape has a personality of its own — rustic mid-century, Latin American furnishings, hand-painted tiles, light blue running through it like a thread.

Each of the 159 rooms and suites keeps a private balcony. Some add a copper tub, some a plunge pool.

The infinity pool spills toward the ocean, with direct access to the beach below. Currents, the destination spa, holds a gym, steam room, sauna, and hot and cold plunge pools, along with treatments. Five places to eat and drink, among them The Ledge — open-air, serving contemporary Mexican fare alongside American favorites.
