Somebody Book Us A Bungalow In Cabo

Where: Nuevo Blvd. Miguel Angel Herrera, Cabo San Lucas, Baja, Mexico, 23410

Anyone else here in the Northeast had just about enough of the cold, the snow, the blizzards, the winter advisories, and the shoveling? Here at HotelChatter headquarters we have decided that this snow stuff is pretty in photographs, but not in person, kinda like Britney Spears, or so we imagine. Anyway, the only thing that saves us from being institutionalized during a week of cabin fever is dreaming of far away, exotic locals.

Today's "Wish We Were There" is the Bungalows Hotel in Cabo San Lucas. Mexico always has a calming effect, and sure Cabo isn't exactly the most tranquil place on earth, but the Bungalows Hotel is off the beach, and a couple blocks away from the center of town.  No smoking, and no meat at the Bungalows, so if you are a nicotine addicted carnivore your best bet might be to find different hotel.  However, for those that want to treat themselves to a reasonably priced bungalow that serves fresh squeezed juice with breakfast, beside a saltwater pool, you might want to look into this unassuming hideaway.

Winter room rates will run you between $135-$155 a night, not bad at all.

CBS power couple honeymooning in Cabo

Where: KM 19.5 Carretera Transpeninsular, Los Cabos, Baja, Mexico, 23400

It could have been billed as Big Brother host marries Big Brother, as on December 23rd Julie Chen married Viacom big wig Les Moonves. The two are currently honeymooning in Las Ventanas in Los Cabos.

At the Baja resort the network duo will be pampered to the hilt. Spas, steam rooms, hot tubs, and even ice rooms, will be at their disposal, should they chose to use them.

And most importantly, if Les wants to take a break from Julie's incessant yammering he can simply stick the iPod ear buds in, and be magically transported to a far away place where sweet music plays and Julie Chen is on mute.

The resort offers iPods to guests for use during their stay.  You don't think that had anything to do with the couple's choice do you? Nah.

iPods over Los Cabos

Where: KM 19.5 Carretera Transpeninsular, Los Cabos, Baja, Mexico, 23400

iPod's are taking over the world!  The latest hotel trend?  Onsite iPod's available for guests.  Las Ventanas al Paraiso in Los Cabos, Mexico, let's guests chill out poolside with their very own iPod. The Apple devices are stuffed with over 1,000 tunes ranging from Latin jazz to classical rock to hip-hop. No word on whether or not you can add to the set list.

Other hotels who have jumped on the bandwagon are Le Meridien Cyberport in Hong Kong, where guests can borrow minis while using the exercise room (the catch there is it sounds like you have to exercise to get the mini perk), and the One & Only Ocean Club in the Bahamas where guests can not only borrow an iPod, but also have the staff fill the iPod with personal fave's to listen to during your stay.

Somewhere, Steve Job's is letting out an evil Austin Powers-like laugh.
