Mexican Wake Up Call at Mar del Cabo

At Mar del Cabo, guests can start their day with the Mexican Wake Up Call where they’ll awaken to a basket of freshly baked sourdough conchas, accompanied by creamy crema de rancho and homemade fruit jam. Delivered with a friendly knock on their door, this Mexican-themed delight replaces the traditional wake-up call with a more inviting experience. Guests can indulge in the iconic concha, a sweet pastry with a crunchy sugar crust, paired perfectly with locally sourced organic creme fraiche. The morning is complete with a pot of cafe de olla, brewed in a clay pot with freshly ground coffee beans, cinnamon sticks, piloncillo, and spices.
