The oceanfront Hilton Los Cabos Beach & Golf Resort has set the standard for hospitality in Baja California and has received many honors, including the 2007 "Connie Award" for best overall performance among the entire Hilton Hotels Corporation Resort Division of 240 properties for the third year in a row.

Additional awards include: #1 in customer service; #1 in hotel accommodations; #1 in overall guest experience; #1 in customer loyalty; #1 in best "can do" attitude of staff, leading to best overall performance among the entire Hilton Hotels Corporation Resort Division.

If you click on my review of the Hilton Los Cabos , you can read more about why I think this is such a great destination for families interested in sun, beach and eco-activities on Mexico's Pacific coast.

Valid from June 29 through October 19, rates for the award-winning Hilton's Family Getaway five-night package begin at $1,375 for four guests. Daily breakfast for 4 is included, and children 12 and under eat free when accompanied by a paying adult at other meals.

The complimentary interactive family cooking class highlighting traditional Mexican cuisine is a favorite activity. On the night of their choice, guests can enjoy a relaxing and intimate 3-course dinner, specially prepared by the resort's Executive Chef, on the secluded Hilton beach. The Hilton invites parents to take the night off and enjoy a relaxing and intimate evening for two, while a Hilton certified babysitter cares for your children in the comfort of your guestroom.

Families can enjoy additional features of the "Hilton Summer Fun Family Promotion" with daily Vacation Station activities including the Hilton Picasso painting workshop and weekly Fiesta Mexican pinata party, twice weekly Dive-In movies broadcast poolside for the entire family, 50% off kids spa treatments with the purchase of a regular 50-minute treatment and complimentary 10-minute poolside massages for adults.

Additional amenities include complimentary Hilton shutttle service to and from nearby Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo, and complimentary wireless Internet access.
