Top Cabo San Lucas Resorts & Hotels

With its cobblestone streets, glistening fountains and fragrant blooming gardens, our No. 6 resort finds its inspirations in the authentic haciendas of Old Mexico. While its oceanfront suites are spectacular, we think you’ll be inspired less by the “hacienda” and more so by the “mar.”

The Sheraton Hacienda del Mar Resort grounds play host to a seriously extravagant amount of pools, each spectacular in its own right. In fact, with much of this Mexico resort’s scenic acreage composed of water rather than land, you can scarcely take a step out of one sparkling expanse without stumbling into another! Its infinity pool, easily the largest, practically overflows into the Sea of Cortez it fronts. Scattered about the resort grounds, more remote pools trade plush chaise lounges for exotic foliage and added privacy. Then there’s the cobblestone pool, which offers distinctive Old Mexico architecture in the form of historic bridges, and even two pint-sized pools for the littlest resort guests! Rooms and suites with terracotta tile floors and warm wood furnishings come with your choice of views, be it the celebrated Cabo del Sol golf course or the spectacular Pacific surf. Sheraton Hacienda del Mar’s one-bedroom suites take it one step further with ocean-facing master suites and private terraces that double as your own Los Cabos paradise.

Highlights

Additional Sheraton Hacienda del Mar suites offer two to four bedrooms – plenty of space for Cabo San Lucas family or group vacations!

Tucked away between the towns of San Jose del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas – which together form the destination known as Los Cabos – our No. 8 pick boasts an enviable location adjacent to the opulent domed pillars of its sister property, Hotel Riu Palace Cabo San Lucas.

Thanks to its exceptional family ties, Hotel Riu Santa Fe grants its guests direct access to a sweeping stretch of white sand beach. While the Pacific waters they front are temptation enough, you won’t find a Los Cabos resort that’s more serious about its pools. More works of art than bodies of water, Hotel Riu Palace Cabo San Lucas’ pools come in every shape and size. From shallow expanses with built-in loungers for the ultimate tan to slightly deeper waters that boast swim up-access to a submerged bar, you’re sure to find “una piscina” to suit you. From its pyramid-like accommodations to the thatched-roof huts – more commonly known as palapas – that surround the neighboring pools, Hotel Riu Santa Fe’s distinctive architecture is rife with native influences. Rooms and suites feature upscale perks like hydro-massage tubs, neutral décor anchored with dark wood furnishings and finishing touches in the form of balconies with ocean views.

Los Cabos houses more spas within its borders than some countries, so it’s only natural that the art of indulgence should reach a near-perfect level inside our No. 9 spot’s Aura Spa. We certainly can’t give all the credit for beautiful scenery to Mexico’s coast; a day well spent inside the Tesoro spa and you’ll emerge looking pretty stunning yourself!
