Abierto Los Cabos – 2019 was another great year for Abierto Los Cabos (AKA the Los Cabos Tennis Open), but in the end, only 3 competitors could take home the coveted tennis ball trophy. Romain Arneodo (Monaco) and Hugo Nys (Monaco) were crowned ATC doubles champions against Dominic Inglot (United Kingdom) and Austin Krajicek (United States) in the first match of the finals. Arneodo and Nys took home a total of $43,120 in prize money and 250 ATP points that will go towards their rankings. Then in the singles category, Diego Schwartzman (Argentina) defeated Taylor Fritz (United States) to win his first title this season, along with a check for $131,430 and 250 ATP points. This 4th edition tournament played out the week of July 29 through August 3 at the Cabo del Mar tennis courts in Cabo San Lucas. Along with the weeklong tennis matches, Abierto Los Cabos hosted a series of posh parties and Cabo-centric photo opportunities throughout the week. This year’s closing celebration was held on Saturday, August 3 at Solaz Resort Los Cabos and was well attended by players and special guests. Congratulations players…we’ll see you next year in Los Cabos! @AbiertoLosCabos

Dog Dayz of Summer at Cachet Beach Club – Cachet Beach Club hosted a Dog Dayz of Summer event benefiting El Ranchito, a no kill temporary home for dogs in San José del Cabo, on Saturday, July 13.

He has even created a test menu with items like Tempura Sushi Roll, a Buddha Bowl, and Szechuan Salmon Rice Bowl. However, this writer especially loves the District Burger on a gluten free bun with their delicious sweet potato fries. District MX also offers a variety of local, international, and Kraft beer along with signature cocktails, and advertises the “coldest beer in town.” The atmosphere at District MX feels like an upscale sports bar and lounge with inviting booths, VIP areas, and outdoor patio seating.

Cabo Sailing Sunset Cruise – Cabo Sailing offers a variety of private and shared snorkeling tours, intimate sunset cruises and professional whale watching excursions for 8-20 guests aboard their fleet of luxurious sailing yachts, ranging from 30 to 42 feet. Destino Los Cabos had the opportunity to set sail on a sunset cruise with Cabo Sailing in early August. We were welcomed by friendly staff, a selection of delicious snacks including chips and salsa, cheeses, crackers, cold meats and olives, and an unlimited open bar with alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. Our shared sunset sailing cruise was 2 hours long, or they also offer a 3-hour option for private sailing cruises. The evening began cruising along Land’s End, past the Famous Cabo Arch, and Lover’s Beach for photos and sightseeing. Next the sailboat traveled over the Pacific Ocean side where they raised the sails and we experienced some smooth, no motor sailing and views of Cabo’s beautiful beaches before watching another spectacular Cabo sunset and heading back to the marina. Trips depart daily from dock «F» (near Lorenzillo’s restaurant) at the IGY Marina in downtown Cabo San Lucas. Inquire with Cabo Sailing for pricing and special on-line promotions. @CaboSailingDo you know a business or event that should be featured? Contact: DestinoJustine@gmail.com
