"A restaurant in San José del Cabo known for zero-waste policies and Asian influences." - Annick Weber
"Acre's farm program maximizes conscious planting and harvesting. The menu uses sustainable products from local farms, supporting responsible practices and national traditions." - The MICHELIN Guide US Editorial Team
"Up a dusty road is this jungle resort where you'll discover an animal sanctuary, villas and treehouses, and this chic, open-air restaurant where fans swirl overhead and misters keep the abundant greenery at its peak. The casual, contemporary Mexican cooking is punched up with Asian influences, and the simple-but-stylish dishes are as gorgeous as the delightful setting. Guacamole is a perfect opener, with a bowl that's pitch-perfect in flavor but equally impressive with its looks (think flower petals as a flourish). Ceviche in a fresh, sweet mango sauce with leche de tigre is a riot of color before moving on to main dishes like grilled octopus, al Pastor suckling pig, and even ramen on certain days. To finish, their riff on key lime pie is just right." - Michelin Inspector
"Acre, the 25-acre spot that began as a restaurant highlighting Baja’s bounty and a bar with killer craft cocktails has evolved into a hotel with the addition of 13 tree houses. Stays at the adults-only property include a breakfast, morning yoga in the property’s mango orchard, and access to the pool and surrounding grounds (where there are bocce and pickleball courts, too)." - Ann Abel
"Acre Why we love it: An adults-only desert oasis where the food is way better than it needs to be The Highlights: - An award-winning restaurant and bar with killer cocktails - Treehouse guestrooms nestled on a canopy of palm trees - A rescue dog sanctuary where guests can adopt a pet The Review: The food alone makes the out-of-the-way Acre worth the trip. In fact, the adults-only property began as an organic farm and restaurant, with guest rooms added only recently. Well-heeled travelers who venture down the rough dirt road leading to the 25-acre oasis in San Jose del Cabo are rewarded with inventive cocktails made with house-grown ingredients and dishes that blend local flavors with global influences (think herb-smoked Negronis and chicken chicharron–studded scallop ceviche). And then there are the 12 stylish thatch-and-wood tree houses, which make staying the night a no brainer. As in the restaurant, the linens, lighting, and furniture are crafted by local artisans. Also included are outdoor showers, perfectly situated hammocks, and king-size beds, where the sound of the Baja breeze lulls guests to sleep. While the property doesn’t offer beach access, the infinity pool is a solid alternative, lined with crisp white chaises and surrounded by endless palm-fringed vistas. Guests also have access to a private beach club just five minutes away at El Ganzo Hotel, plus amenities like morning yoga classes, badminton and bocce, and an animal sanctuary with rescue dogs, peacocks, roosters, Nigerian dwarf goats, and a donkey named Burrito."
