I think it's great that a lot of our places made the list (Hilton, Dreams in Cancun - which I'm sure means the Dreams in Cabo is great, Sheraton...)

Makes me smile to see so many places in Cabo listed too!

TammyM, are you planning to visit Esperanza? If you're visiting the more upscale places, I wouldn't miss that either. Some of our engagement pics were taken there and the resort looks absolutely gorgeous.

It wasn't on my list, how upscale is it? I didn't put the one and only on my list because it's out of my budget...

Thanks for posting this list. I think I am the only bride on BDW getting married at the Fiesta Americana Grand and I was thrilled to see that it made this this (especially since no one in the US seems to have heard about this hotel). Awesome!
