Best Luxury Hotels in Cabo…With Perks and Upgrades

If you’re looking for the best luxury hotels in Cabo, there’s a big difference between booking online and booking with the right access. Here are the properties I actually recommend to clients—and how to get the most value from your stay.

One&Only Palmilla

Best for: Classic luxury, swimmable beach (which is VERY rare for Cabo)

Why I book it:
You can’t go wrong with the room category. All rooms are ocean-facing. Even the entry-level rooms come with a view.

Insider tip:
The Palmilla rooms in buildings 16 and 17 have amazing views and closest to the ocean. Considerations: Smaller Bathrooms with no free standing bathtub.

Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal

Best for: Privacy + wow-factor arrivals

Why I book it:
Beautiful cliffside setting. Feels very private, but close to Downtown Cabo San Lucas if clients decided to leave the resort.

Insider tip:
El Farallon, their signature restaurant, is a destination in itself. Their champagne bar has the largest collection of champagne in Mexico. Advance reservations are a must! Meals at the resort are pricey, even for luxury resorts in Mexico. Buyers beware: A specialty coffee costs $15 (but it’s included in the complimentary breakfast I provide with our Hilton for Luxury partnership)

Las Ventanas al Paraíso, A Rosewood Resort

Best for: Effortless luxury & impeccable service

Why I book it:
Consistently great feedback on food quality. Clients always feel the staff goes above and beyond to make them feel VIP.

Insider tip:
Pools close around 5pm - Not the most ideal for couples and families who enjoy an evening swim.
