my breath is just taken away I cannot believe how beautiful it is here
(music)
Hey you guys! Phoebe here from Little Grey Box with Matt behind the camera and
today we're on the southern tip of the Baja California Peninsula in beautiful
Mexico because we are exploring Los Cabos
(music)
Now this is a destination renowned
for delicious food, beautiful mountain scenery and desert scapes and of course
this incredible beach scape which you see behind me and we are so so happy and
excited to be here we have never been to Mexico before and it is... I think it's my
spiritual home I mean I love Mexican food Margaritas are my favorite cocktail
I live for the beach I love a warm climate
I love the scenery and I love the people already so this is shaping up to be an
incredible video series so make sure you don't miss a single one
now to help you travel well we are going to be sharing all of our experiences and
travel tips along the way you guys if you don't already you need to subscribe
right now so you don't miss a single moment
We ran out of the airport, met our transfer
and came straight here to our accommodation which is an incredible
place called Marquis Los Cabos all right come with me let's start in the bathroom
so behind me we have got his and hers matching basins which is great so
you're not bumping into each other in the mornings of course over here we've
got this huge big bathtub look at those jets!
toilet yes banos we all know banos and then behind me we have the shower
seat for if you feel like sitting in there relaxing shaving the legs having a
little bit drama we all know how that goes behind me we have this huge big bed
and I have a feeling...
it's very comfortable
we've got some storage space here
television, safe all of that kind of
stuff you guys places to recline a workspace of course but you're not going
to be doing any of that cause you're gonna be out here this is really
the money shot come with me
Hello! are you looking at this view this is absolutely... stunning
now you guys... I've got two words for you and these two words are gonna be very
important over the next couple of days you're ready for them? Here they come...
3, 2, 1, bam! all-inclusive
strap yourselves in
the food's included the drinks included it's all included
So the resort has loads
of different restaurants that you can choose from each offering different
cuisines and we thought it made sense to start with the Mexican themed restaurant
you guys this is beautiful the temperature outside is perfect and I
have made a personal commitment to myself to have guacamole with every meal
excluding breakfast because I think maybe that's not something that can
happen or it seems a bit unreasonable I had guacamole at the airport today
with my lunch and you know what I got guacamole right here as well with my dinner
I didn't even have to order this our server Roberto was like
I'll get you some guac lady
(crunch)
Delicious
(music)
Okay so the food has arrived and it looks spectacular I've got veggie
fajitas of course and then this fish you guys cooked traditionally I don't know
the details of that (laughing)
that is absolutely beautiful so soft so flaky it smells incredible
we are about to max out on all this good mexi food
(music)
Good morning you guys how beautiful is this!
We are waking up for our first morning in Mexico right here in Los Cabos at Marquis
and it is so gorgeous
I just can't get over it absolutely no swimming in the beach you guys and
that's for your own safety. When they kind of told us about that I was a bit funny I was like
Oh, come on, like I'm from Australia I know how to swim I know what I'm doing! Ah, that water is no joke
those waves are intense so you don't even risk it, don't go in there. There are beautiful infinity pools here at the
resort and we are going to make the most of them right now
(music)
This is so beautiful!
If you guys have been watching Little Grey Box for a while you know I absolutely love
the water I love to swim I love the beach waking up here is just so special
for me like I said nobody else is even up yet so we've got this whole area all
to ourselves to swim and just have a great start to the day I am so happy to
be here this is just a dream come true
(music)
This breakfast is nothing short of amazing they've got a mimosa station set
up they're handing out bloody marys if you want to start getting your day drink
on or just a little bit of the hair of the dog the bite ya. I didn't even get
down to the hot food section, Matt was down there they've got everything you could
dream of and if that wasn't quite enough there's also a menu to choose from
Matt has gone for the hotcakes and you're ready and you guys ready for
some food porn this is happening strap yourselves in. Matt maybe just a
suggestion you can do this bit in slow-mo with an ohhhh yeahhhhh
(music)
this is ridiculous
(music)
How exciting! You know how much I love swimming. You know how much I love snorkelling
so this is like my dream day throw in some guac and what do you got?... heaven
We are doing a sailing adventure this morning aboard this gorgeous luxury yacht
We're going to be heading out in the Sea of Cortez where we are going to be plunging into
that beautiful blue water for some swimming, snorkelling, luxury extravaganza
I feel like I just heard the words open bar so you know I'm really excited this
is going to be an incredible day and honestly, this is my dream way to spend a day, I'm so happy to be here
(music)
Welcome to Santa Maria Bay this place is absolutely beautiful the water is this
vibrant colour, people are jumping off boats there are margaritas flowing
great food on the go you guys and this beach is pristine now we aren't allowed to go onto the beach
that's privately owned by the resort but we can absolutely jump in the water and do some swimming
so lets go!
(music)
There are so many fish down there we were snorkelling, practising our freediving
the only thing I wish I had more of was time I could spend a whole day here easily
now we have climbed back on board and the guys have prepared us these amazing
lunchboxes. Sometimes you do these experiences and the food isn't quite at
the standard you want it to be... this food is restaurant quality
It is incredible and the guys will bring you any drinks you want so you know I've
ordered a Margarita, so happy this is just a must-do experience
(music)
Welcome to a little place called The Cape So you might recognize the scenery
behind me, because that is actually where we were sailing today we were sailing
past this spot thinking wow that looks like a heck of a rooftop bar and here we are
and it's perfectly called The Rooftop so the views behind me we can see that
gorgeous sunset we can see all the way over there to The Arch, now you
guys I can't think of a better place for sunset than right here these views
are amazing. its Saturday night they've got some live music getting started up
(music)
(runs into the door!)
(Matt laughs hysterically)
(music)
For dinner tonight we headed to Sakke the on-site Japanese restaurant here at
Marquis or as the locals say it Marquis and it was fantastic you guys so our
chef put on an amazing teppanyaki show at the hibachi grill, we got to sit with
a couple of people who are here on holidays and they were just raving about
the place just one of the great dining options they have here and another one
that we really enjoyed but for now I am so so tired you can probably tell by
looking at me all that snorkeling and stuff I am all tuckered out so we're
gonna get a good night's sleep in our beautiful big cozy bed I'll see you in morning
(music)
Good morning you guys we are waking up in Mexico yet again this place
is absolutely beautiful every time we step outside onto that balcony my breath
is just taken away I cannot believe how beautiful it is here so I thought now
was a great time to get you with a bit of information on how to get here and so
on now in terms of getting yourself to Los Cabos if you are coming from
Australia like we did you can fly direct with flights daily from Australia to LA
and then from LA down to Los Cabos it's only a two and a half hour flight so it
is really easy to get here. Bit of a pro tip if you do want to break up your
flights you can spend a night at an Airport Hotel in Los Angeles which is
something that Matt and I did and it just meant we arrived in the morning
spent the whole day and night resting so when we caught our next flight we
were lovely and fresh, you don't arrive feeling jetlagged and miss any time stuck in
your room trying to sleep it off In terms of the time of year that we're
here it is around the end of November for us and the weather has been perfect
it is lovely and warm, not too hot
nice and cool in the evenings and of course we haven't even seen a drop of
rain from what I understand it's rare to get rainy weather here it is absolutely
stunning all year round
Now Hotel Marquis or Marquis depending on how you pronounce it
It is in the perfect location
It is located right in between San Jose del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas the two
major towns of the area so it's been a really easy drive for us to go one way
or the other to get to our activities, bars, restaurants and so on
In terms of getting around there are some different ways you can do it for us we've been
going with private transfer we have our own driver for this trip
Now the resort is really the hero here you could come here and spend your entire holiday
at the resort and be quite happy they've got you covered with everything you need
as I said earlier it is all-inclusive It's also adults-only and they have a
whole range of activities to keep you occupied but if you don't feel like
doing that you don't feel like doing any activities that's totally cool because
they have so much beautiful pool space down there
If it were me I would quite happily sit down there on some sun lounges all day
every day relaxing in the sun getting cocktails and food brought to me we've
got a couple more videos coming up for you so make sure that you tune back in
next week for our next episode and with that that brings this video to
a close I really hope you enjoyed watching you guys now if you
don't already, you best subscribe right now and say hello in the comments below
I hope you have a fantastic week ahead and I will see you next week
Love ya!
