What it is

A gargantuan resort with all the trimmings, including a de facto water park, private beaches, six hopping restaurants, and an oceanfront spa with a seawater pool.

What it isn't

Just for grown-ups. Yes, there’s a kids club, and yes, it’s as great as they’re picturing. And did we mention the putt putt golf course?

What we think

Each and every guest room option here is a suite—and a sweet one, at that. Even the beginning category, a Deluxe Junior Suite, is 633 square feet, and stocked with a separate, plush living room and kitchenette ideal for cozy nights in (and before you ask: yes, each room has individual controlled air conditioning). For an even roomier stay, we love the 850 square foot Luxury Master Suites, which have two full bathrooms and a balcony; if you’re traveling with a group, the 3 Bedroom Penthouse Suite is worth a splurge for its generous (nearly 3,000 square foot!) floor plan and your own terrace overlooking the water complete with a jacuzzi. Aaaah.

You're here because

The private soft-sand beaches and myriad pools are exactly what you want out of a Cabo San Lucas getaway.

The Moment

At Calima, the hotel’s thatched-roof tropical restaurant set over a koi pond, you’re not sure what’s more delicious: the grilled lobster with clarified butter or the freshly-made guac—honestly, the best you’ve ever had.
