¡Vamos a JW Marriott Los Cabos' Relish the Heritage Festival! We just had a spectacular stay at the JW Marriott Los Cabos Beach Resort & Spa for the Relish the Heritage Food, Wine & Music Festival.

We arrived in Cabo and we were picked up by one of the JW Marriott Los Cabos's private cars. This is one of the many offerings (upon request) from the hotel to ensure safe & seamless transport for guests. The drive to the resort from the airport was about 30 minutes. The resort is about 15 minutes outside of downtown San José del Cabo.

Upon arrival at the JW Marriott Los Cabos Resort, we were engulfed in a horizon-framing lobby that looked out onto the Sea of Cortez - talk about an awe-inspiring moment.

The JW Marriott Los Cabos and its architecture is a testament to the beauty of Cabo's natural landscape. The striking hotel was built with the purpose to blend with the shore and sea (& it does just that). This resort took my breath away and moved me to tears at points - it was that stunning.

The Amet Patio was one of my favorite areas - it gave major Gladiator vibes (which is one of my favorite movies).

I have never stayed at or experienced a more aesthetically pleasing hotel - from the grand details to the small ones, not a blade of grass was overlooked. The vibe of the resort is desert opulence with rich, neutral sand tones throughout the property. There are exquisite areas for photo-ops around every corner.

The staff at the JW Marriott Los Cabos Beach Resort & Spa were the epitome of hospitable. Each staff member we had the pleasure of encountering was beyond gracious & eager to assist us with any and all of our needs.

Our room was located in The Griffin Club - the Griffin Club is a boutique hotel within the JW Marriott Los Cabos resort that provides a deeper level of luxury & hospitality to guests. I'm talking luxury offerings such as an exclusive concierge & on-call butler (shout out to Adrian for his amazing service!) and access to private areas such as the Mayma Lounge which includes a private chef, a pool with cabanas, a beach, ample seating with fireplaces & complimentary appetizers and drinks throughout the day.

Our Griffin Club Deluxe Room featured 1 King bed with plush bedding, a large balcony with an ocean facing view, a cozy sofa, & modern furnishings. The design elements in our room were soft & neutral including marble & wood that captured the luxe desert feel of the resort as a whole. The Bathroom featured a double vanity, large bathtub & rain shower.

Our balcony was one of my favorite parts of the room - nothing topped opening those doors & having the Sea of Cortez lull us to sleep. The balcony was a great place to relax after getting in some pool time - we enjoyed reading out there & got some fun silhouette pictures in as well.

There was a welcome tasting of Mezcal waiting for us in our room - yes please! Kicking off the Relish the Heritage party with Mezcal was spot on.

The Relish the Heritage Food, Wine & Music Festival was a culinary & artistic journey to remember. We got to experience so much of the resort & some special parts of Cabo including:

Dinner in the Griffin Club's Governor Suite hosted by Chef Pablo Hildebrando Lopez
Jasha Spa, Massage & Temazcal Ceremony
Catamaran Snorkel Tour
Mexican Wine & Hors D'oeuvres Tasting by Cafe Des Artistes
Tasting Menu at Café des Artistes Los Cabos hosted by Chefs Thierry Blouet & Mario Rodriques

The JW Marriott Los Cabos Beach Resort & Spa boasts 13 pools located all over the resort and several upscale restaurants.

My favorite lunch spot at the resort was on the patio at Úa Culinary Artisans - the staff was delightful & there were lovely views of the pool & the Sea of Cortez.

I started off our lunch with a Skinny Margarita. The skinny marg had a lot of flavor & tang to it.

Ross enjoyed an ice cold diet coke.

For appetizers we had the Guacamole, Jalapeño Poppers & Ceviche Tower.

The Guacamole was presented beautifully - it arrived to the table on a wood platter with chips and pico-de-gallo on the side. The guacamole was fresh, creamy and topped with cotija cheese.

The Jalapeño Poppers were crisp on the outside with velvety cream cheese on the inside.

The Ceviche Tower was made with shrimp, octopus, tuna, mango, cucumber & avocado. This cylindrical Ceviche Tower was bathed in a mouthwatering umami sauce. All of the ingredients were fresh and the smooth texture of the ceviche went well with the crunch from the tortilla chips.

For our mains we had the Shrimp Tacos & Mexican Pizza.

My favorite lunch bites from Úa were the shrimp tacos. They were loaded with juicy, marinated shrimp that were nicely enveloped in a warm, lightly toasted flour tortilla. The acidity from the marinade & limes were bright on the tongue making the tacos a refreshing summer dish. I added a light layer of guacamole to the tacos to get some creamy texture in.

The homemade Mexican pizza featured a spiced black bean spread, generous slices of chorizo & veggie toppings. This pizza was chewy and satisfying - perfect comfort food.
