    Hotel from across the street
    Omar S.

    Old-school flop house for fishermen, couples bumming around the Cape, and partiers who appreciate the proximity to rub and tug shops and Cabo Wabo. Two stars because it's useful, safe and comfortable, and a third because I'm used to the place.

    Eggs Benedict breakfast
    Irene Z.

    This review is only for their breakfast. Passed this hotel a number of times, but never stayed at the hotel. One morning the American style breakfast looked particularly appetizing, so after 7 days of having Mexican style breakfasts, I decided to stop in for an American breakfast. Ordered eggs benedict and chicken fried steak. American breakfast was decent, and there was a nice patio area near poolside and service was quick.

    Night swim until 10pm.

    Had a great time at this hotel. It is in the heart of Downtown Cabo with eatieries and bars within walking distance. The room was clean and the grounds were pretty and well maintained. The staff was courteous and responsive. Thank you for making our first stay here memorable. We would come back.

    These guys were great. The rooms are incredibly reasonable, WiFi was pretty slow but we could still stream videos and use our phones. The drinks are great, Carlos is an excellent bartender. Regulo took care of us when ordering food. Great guy, sang along with songs and even danced a bit. This place is in the heart of Cabo, walking distance to a ton of hot spots.

    Overall it was a perfect spot to stay in , close to everything in Cabo. Right around the corner from Cabo wabo. Don't expect any bells and whistles, no tv in our room but we where ok with it. I would definitely stay here again.

    Home sweet home. Great atmosphere, friendly staff. Feels like a place I wanna love at more than I can afford to :) kitchen makes great meals. Pool has water. Hot water in the showers. Toilet flushes. Life is good. Yelp wants me to write more but I'm at an average length now so have a great night m!

    Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal

    (188 reviews)

    Wow. Just wow. 5 stars all around!!!!…read more I don't have a single complaint about the Waldorf which really blew my mind. Yes it is quite pricey but for once, the price is justified by the impeccable customer service, room quality, and maintenance of this resort. It is the perfect blend of modern and elegance and screams luxury without trying too hard. It's close to the marina as well so easy access to other restaurants, shopping, and tours. We stayed at a 3 bedroom villa and the week flew by. The rooms were spacious, well kept, clean, and stocked with everything you need. We had our own private plunge pool to soak in whenever we wanted to. You are greeted upon arrival with a welcome drink and they gifted the kids an adorable sugar turtle cookie when we departed! They offer sample drinks and popsicles at the pools. Their attention to detail is flawless and everything is well thought out. The resort has an adults only pool, a family infinity pool overlooking the ocean, and another shallow kids pool. Plenty of lounge chairs and was never too busy. The food was fantastic from the poolside kitchen to the on site property restaurants to the private chefs. Honestly some of the best food I've had in my life. The spa is world class and I highly recommend it. We had some of the best nail service, massages, and facials ever. Everyone is well trained and very skilled and experienced in their area of expertise. They have complimentary golf carts that take you anywhere on the property and we never had to wait for one. Everyone is so friendly, inviting, and professional. I truly appreciated everyone's hospitality and warmth. The best part was our private butler who cooked our meals, arranged all activities and transportation off the property, did laundry, and even found our missing shoes that flew across the resort! lol. Our butler Ricardo was amazing and such a delight to have. This is a once in a lifetime experience that everyone must indulge in. It's worth it.

Other than that, best stay i've ever had in terms of everything. Room, aesthetics, service, and location. Room was super spacious room with a soaking tub and rainfall shower, each room comes with its own plunge pool with water temperature set at 82 degrees so you can swim in it anytime. It also comes with a fire place, which comes in handy at night. The room is also equipped with binoculars for whale watching, very thoughtful. The service was top tier, better than Ritz Carlton and other Wardolf location I've stayed at. You get a personal concierge that can help you with whatever you need 24/7. Shout out to my concierge Raquel, she made the stay so much smoother. The location is prime. Walking distance from a lot of restaurants, bars, and clubs. If you don't want to walk uber's about $5-10 bucks.

We were also offered a complementary popsicle and I opted for the margarita one which was delicious. Once we checked in, we opted for their upgrade which I believe is called Altamar, which means high ocean and for an extra $150/day we get a top suite right in the center and it includes breakfast buffets, daily mini bar refill, and a few other discounts for massages. Our room was literally right under the Hilton sign on the sixth floor. We had a great view of the whole property from our balcony. It's worth it because the buffet is around $40/person. The property is very nice and well maintained. They have a hot tub, infinity hot tub, an adult infinity pool, and a massive pool right in the center. The breakfast buffet in the morning was great. Everything was really good and it tasted authentic. I opted for the Cook to order omelettes or eggs and chilaquiles. The avocado toast was amazing. They have a Rotating item where a cook prepares it for you on the spot. You must get the nachos by the pool. They're great for two people and they were so good. They have a total of three restaurants which we ate at two of them because we really enjoyed the Italian, called Velas. They had live music the nights we went. We also went to Lena on taco Tuesday, which was their Tacos and Margarita Night. The beach is beautiful, very walkable. There is a lifeguard on duty. Beautiful sunsets. All the employees were always working, they were very helpful, and attentive. It was a very relaxing day.

The food was consistently good, and the Lazy River is definitely the standout feature and biggest selling point of the property. The rooms and grounds were well maintained, making for an enjoyable stay overall. That said, there were a few areas where the experience fell short. Pool service was inconsistent, and there often seemed to be a shortage of pool towels. Entertainment options were limited, and with only three restaurants on-site, dining choices felt somewhat restricted. Of the three, Latitud 23.5 was by far the best and the one we found ourselves returning to most often. Guests should also be prepared for a fairly aggressive timeshare presentation pitch. Additionally, the advertised complimentary 45-minute massage per room for direct online bookings appeared to be more of a marketing gimmick, as multiple staff members seemed unaware of the promotion during our stay. While we had a pleasant experience overall, we're likely to try a different resort next year. The Lazy River was the highlight, but the overall experience wasn't quite enough to bring us back.

The location is convenient, with a supermarket directly across the street. The property was nice and clean--perfect for a relaxing getaway that truly felt like a home away from home. The room had all the main kitchen necessities and more. We started in a garden-view room, and midweek we were able to upgrade to an ocean-view room, which was absolutely spectacular. Falling asleep to the sound of the ocean waves was incredibly calming. The resort also offers beach access, and guests can borrow beach chairs and other items to relax by the water. There are several pools on-site, including a swim-up bar, and they often have live music in the evenings, which added to the atmosphere. The only downside was the on-site restaurant--the food was mediocre, so we preferred cooking in the room or going out to eat. There is a BBQ area available for guests, which was a nice option.

To make matters worse, construction workers were using the area around the infinity pool, with large wooden beams blocking parts of the space. Instead of enjoying the beautiful pool, we had to deal with an active construction site. The constant sound of power drills and other construction equipment during the daytime completely ruined any chance of resting by the pool or relaxing in our room. Had we known that major construction was taking place, we would have chosen a different hotel. I understand that maintenance and improvements are sometimes necessary, but guests should be informed in advance, and the hotel should make every effort to minimize the impact on their stay. Unfortunately, this experience fell far short of the relaxing vacation we had hoped for.

    Awesome awesome awesome…read more I had the pleasure of staying here in March 2026 The staff is on another level of detail and service . Not my first all inclusive but for sure one of my top 3. Great location from the airport not very far and plenty of restaurants near by. It's also about a 10 minute cab to the marina where you can book the whale watching tours. I was lucky enough to actually see some whales on my trip absolutely phenomenal. Don't fall for the guys in the lobby trying to sell you tours from the resort, or the guys In the airport. My advise is to go to the marina early and ready to embark on your next adventure. After some price analysis these vendors will charge between 3-5 times the price for a excursion. It also depends on what you want . You can either be on a party boat with free food and unlimited drinks , or a boat by a hard working local that knows his stuff. Personally id rather go with the locals now their boats aren't the fanciest but you will be safe and you are providing income to a hard worker (please tip them in the end) Now the rooms are spacious and comfortable i had a partial ocean room and let me tell you hearing those waves every night was so soothing and relaxing. I literally gained like 10 pounds on that trip ... food food food unlimited breakfast and lunch buffets with a few restaurant options. They also had a dinner buffet if you missed your reservation or arrived late to one of their fantastic restaurants.(Crystal was my favorite) Now the pools are fantastic and those parties are something else foam and neon parties all were a fantastic time. Every night their was entertainment, what i love about the rui resorts is that if you stay at the palace you have access to the santa fe so you can swing over and check out what they have going on but from what I've observed rui palace had the better food and a more reserved croud but still fun!!!

It was spring break time and the college crowd was in full swing at the resort next to ours. We were grateful it was not ours. This place offered a nice mix of clientele and amenities that you would want to have on your trip. The restaurant options were all very good and their food and service were excellent. We didn't have one bad meal, except for one dish (tempura at the Japanese restaurant). All the staff were amazing for the most part and your requests were met without issues. The one tip, if you're a water person, is to pre-request bottled water to your room early. There was several times we had to seek for our own water supply. Not the end of the world and not to say it was intentional. They were very busy with all the people. The grounds are well lit and well maintained. The staff was always working. The room was good for us with even our own mini bar and stocked fridge. The one downside was the noise from the entrainment and other people in the hallways. The noise carried into the room very loudly. The entertainment normally ended around 11 p.m. The other guests, however went throughout the night up until as late as 3 AM. This is an all-inclusive resort however, tipping was appreciated. So I would make sure you bring enough ones in fives for your trip. Also, you cannot swim at the beach front in front of the resort due to the under toe and waves. You can, however, walk down the beach to an area that is more accessible. Overall, I would stay at this place again.

While the theft itself was extremely concerning, the most disappointing part of our experience was the response from front desk staff and management. Rather than demonstrating urgency, empathy, or accountability, we were made to feel as though we had done something wrong. Our concerns were not taken seriously, and there was little effort to investigate, provide reassurance, or offer any meaningful resolution. Due to the lack of trust that followed, we no longer felt comfortable allowing staff into our room and declined housekeeping for the remainder of our 4-night stay. This significantly impacted our comfort and overall experience. For a property of this caliber, both the incident and its handling fell far below expectations. This experience left a lasting negative impression and raises serious concerns about guest safety and how such situations are managed.

I was confused when I got there - the website shows an overview of the ocean and their beach house - which is on the beach, but the actual hotel is a few blocks inward. They offer a golf cart ride down the street to drop you off. When you are at the beach house you let them know you're staying with the Bahia and entitled to certain discounts. So the staff is attentive and courteous. The pool looks good but it was primarily empty. The food looked good - we had breakfast there and it was very good. The beach house has an open area to sit down inside with shade, and there's a small sectioned off area on the beach in the sand. You get waitstaff to get drinks for you. At times it can get really crowded, but then again it was busy there - right after Spring Break. It is quite loud and noisy there - with music and crowds. The rooms - were very nice. The bed was king, it was firm, it was comfortable, it was clean. There was also an extra small bed aside for guests - we never used it. It is spacious. The bathrooms were nice and clean too. The doors are heavy and secure, so make sure when you leave they are completely closed and locked because one night we thought so - but it did not latch. We came back and the door was open, we freaked out, but all was good and safe. We were lucky. Just make sure the door is secure and latched and you'll be fine. But overall I thought this place was great and I would recommend them. The rooms are very nice and clean. Staff was accommodating. If you're okay with it not being exactly on the beach then you'll be fine here.
