Live & Work


By Yenicey Aguilar Housekeeper


Hello everyone! This is a great opportunity to share with you my experiences of freshly arriving to this city to live & work and also tell you about the natural wonders that I have just discovered.

But let’s start with some background… I was born a few years ago –not that many— (he he!) in Guadalajara, Jalisco. Due to family matters, I moved to Puerto Vallarta, a paradise Jalisco beach hot-spot, where I grew professionally in the hospitality Industry. Suddenly, one day I received a proposal that would change my life -- it was an invitation to work as an Executive Housekeeper for a hotel that was being built at the heart of Cabo San Lucas in Baja California Sur. I Accepted!!!! And that is how this adventure began….

I cannot describe the perfection of this place, it is Magical (capital M) and full of opportunities; it has the peacefulness of a small town and the partying of big cities, it shares Vegas’ motto: “What happens in Cabo, stays in Cabo” Do you think?

I’m not going to lie though, when I first got here, I was very surprised. This is very different, towns by the desert, its hills have a yellowish color and the sun is much more intense than where I come from.

When I first came to mi new job, Casa Dorada at Medano Beach, I was stunned -- its location is the best of the best! its facilities are up to the standards of the big Brand Chains, but most importantly and what really makes the difference, is my teammates’ human quality. Since Ulises (my 8 year old son) and me arrived here, they automatically embraced us in their group and became our new family –as corny as it may sound—for me Casa Dorada is one of the few places where you feel blissful working! I wake up in a good mood every morning, come to work and have fun in the process.

I want to share with you some of the most amazing natural wonders of this place; it was a real surprise for me to discover them! These rocks are a spectacular frame to the sunset viewed from the hotel. It’s funny to notice that I saw them every day and did not appreciate how majestic they are.

San Andrés Cave (two go in, three come out – he he!)

“La Playa del Amor” (The Love Beach) were the Gulf of California and the Pacific Ocean meet


This stone looks as if hand sculpted, recreating the Baja peninsula



The otters that live in the area


And the emblematic Arc that represents Cabo San Lucas worldwide.
