With its cobblestone lanes, winding paths, quaint Placitas, fountains, restaurants, and shops, the Sheraton Hacienda del Mar Resort & Spa, Los Cabos captures the feel of Old Mexico. A full complement of guest services is offered on premises to satisfy the refined needs of both the meeting and leisure travelers. For your convenience and relaxation, the Sheraton offers four pools with distinctive settings: from the main infinity pool overlooking the Sea of Cortez, to our freeform remote pools hidden by the rich surrounding flora, or cobblestone pool complete with bridges and designs reminiscent of old world Hacienda architecture. The resort also features three outdoor Jacuzzis and two adjoining children's pools.
