The 2014 Best Hotels Awards recognize hotels that were ranked based on an unbiased methodology that includes the collective opinion of travel experts and guests, expressed through online reviews and ratings.

“We are delighted that independently surveyed travelers and experts in the travel industry rated our resorts among the very best in their respective destinations,” said Mark Harmon, Managing Partner, Auberge Resorts. “Our goal is to deliver the best guest experience possible. It’s gratifying to see our properties once again rated the best in North America.”

“The 2014 Best Hotels were selected because they meet the highest standards of travel experts and guests alike,” said Miriam Weiner, travel editor for U.S. News. “These properties are renowned in the travel industry for their luxury amenities and quality customer service.”

To create this year’s rankings, U.S. News factored in the prominence of industry awards a hotel receives along with its reputation among travel experts and guests. In total, 1,693 U.S. hotels, 271 Caribbean hotels, 342 Mexican hotels and 223 Canadian hotels were evaluated for the 2014 rankings.

Hotels named “Best” in their destination are typically the properties that have ranked the top 30 percent of U.S. News-evaluated properties in that region. A smaller, more selective group of hotels that are ranked in the top 10 percent of all ranked luxury hotels in the United States, the Caribbean, Mexico or Canada received a “Best Hotels in the USA,” “Best Hotels in the Caribbean,” “Best Hotels in Mexico” or “Best Hotels in Canada” award, depending on their location.

Punta Ballena is the master development community that is the home of Esperanza. Renowned for its privacy, seclusion, and awe-inspiring sense of arrival, Punta Ballena offers one of the very few environments suitable like Esperanza.

Outside the gates of Esperanza but still within the warm embrace Punta Ballena there are two communities that take single, family living in the Baja to a new level. The community of Las Villas sits directly to the west of Esperanza and is made up of 28 villas that follow the plan and style of the founders of Punta Ballena, namely spacious and open, three bedroom floor plans with one detached casita. On the other side of Esperanza sits Las Residencias, which is a collection of 54 estate-sized lots, many of which has been designed and developed to the taste of the individual owners.

Both communities reach down onto the crashing surf of the Sea of Cortez and have exclusive access to the tennis courts, two miles of walking trails, and the incomparable Punta Ballena Beach Club. Homesites in these communities are offered at approximately $2.5m.
