“ACRE is a jungle oasis in the middle of the desert. When you drive the dirt road and get to us for the first time, trust me when I say, you are stunned at what you come across.” We're in great company with Stuart McPherson, Co-Founder and Owner of ACRE Resort, 25 acres of abundant greenery, featuring elegant treehouses, organic farms, private event spaces, and an award-winning bar and restaurant, tucked in the foothills of San Jose del Cabo, Mexico.  Stuart and his fellow Canadian comrade and Co-Founder, Cameron Watt traveled to Los Cabos for a short getaway over 10 years ago and never left, falling in love with the lush land, the serene beaches, and the values of their local Mexican culture and community.  As people all around the world celebrate Mexican cultural heritage this Cinco De Mayo, Stuart passionately portrays what that cultural connection and celebration means to him, his team and his guests that now call ACRE home, time and time again. Top Takeaways [1:35] How two Canadian comrades, Stuart McPherson and Cameron Watt came to Los Cabos for a short getaway from their world of finance, and found themselves wanting to stay forever. And stay they did.  [10:10] There is so much more to experience about Mexican culture outside of Cinco De Mayo, as Stuart learned the importance of family, pride in hard work ethic, and commitment to his neighbors.  [16:00] Sustainability was not part of Stuart's world prior to building ACRE Resort, but it now makes up most of it today in every aspect from furniture design to farm to table dining.  [20:30] How the devastation from Hurricane Odile back in 2014 turned out to be the best change of course for ACRE Resort to become what it is today. [22:15] From a farm to table restaurant to fractional ownership villas and now a treehouse hotel, Stuart and his team have been busy bringing ACRE Resort to life - and the rankings and awards from Travel + Leisure, Cosmopolitan and Architectural Digest have taken notice.  [27:00] Expect to explore the grounds full of mango & citrus orchards, organic farms, an animal sanctuary with resident chickens, pigs, ducks, horses, donkeys, peacocks and even a camel.  [33:10] With a new chef at the helm collaborating with ACRE's farmers, the farm to table concept is thriving more than ever with fresh salads, sides, sauces, and cocktail garnishments galore.  [36:40] After a trip to Oaxaca to see rural agave farms and small batch mezcal being made at its source, Stuart knew this bespoke craft was too good to be kept a secret and thus La Tierra de ACRE Mezcal was born.  [43:30] What's to come at ACRE Resort…between a potential beachfront property, a mountainside hotel expansion, and much more in store.  Notable Mentions La Tierra de ACRE Mezcal La Lupita Taco & Mezcal  Tamarindos Farm To Table District Eat & Drink Art Walk San Jose del Cabo Visit For Yourself ACRE Resort Website @acreresort Stay In Good Company Website

Laura and her family are taking the day off, so she shares the story of another time in her life when she had to shelter in place, though under very different circumstances. Inspired by Homer's Odyssey, she tells her own odyssey of being stuck in Mexico during Hurricane Odile back in 2014, when the storm destroyed Cabo. The story was published by Hobart in 2015.

This week's episode of Travel Today with Peter Greenberg comes from The One&Only Palmilla in Los Cabos, Mexico. After being hit by Hurricane Odile in September 2014, Los Cabos was badly damaged. Like many other properties, the One&Only Palmilla suffered major wounds and had to close for a massive recovery and rebuilding effort. But now it’s back, and some would say, better than ever. The resort’s staff pulled together as a community in one of the stronger examples of a public/private partnership. Arnie Weissmann, Editor-in-Chief of Travel Weekly, talks about disaster tourism and why now is the time to go to Los Cabos. Then the President of the Los Cabos Humane Society, Aida Trujillo, talks about animal displacement after the storm and how visitors can help…including international pet adoption! (Hint—you get to fly your new pet home…for free!). All of this and more on this week's Travel Today with Peter Greenberg comes from The One&Only Palmilla.
