5 Stars Hotels in Baja California Sur, Mexico

I want to spotlight an employee, Ricardo was our server while lounging on the beach portion of the resort. Ricardo was working harder than anyone I saw, constantly moving, taking orders, delivering orders, setting umbrellas, getting towels, he is a dynamo. In addition, I paid twice for an order, as it was charged to my room but I gave him cash, Ricardo honestly pointed out the mistake and gave me the money back & left it on the room charge. He also handled some rude drunk women, very graciously. This type on employee makes me want to revisit your establishment. Thank you for having him there, his is an asset to your company.

The food was pretty decent, some dishes not great but overall much better than the other resort we were at first. The entertainment was also WAY better than the other resort. Lively & friendly staff. Some staff members are amazing, some are just a little slow. Triple check your information as not everyone is on the same page about how things work here. Bring small bills! It's like pulling teeth to make change here. Coffee stand isn't included in all inclusive & robs you blind, good coffee though. Beautiful scenery. Thanks to Annie, Javier, Amy, Umberto & Jeanine. They made pool side a blast. Special shout out to Jorge, best waiter around!

I went to the hotel with my family for 8 days; before our stay we were sent a mail to detail some details of our stay (preferences in the room and available activities, etc). The hotel is very good and the hotel is very good. There are several restaurants available and the quality of the food is good. The hotel is a very good hotel, and it is a good hotel. The only issue is that because it is not a ”all inclusive” hotel you have to pay for food/drinks; the cost is the same is MUY high, I have hosted 2 hotels in the same chain (San Miguel de Allende and London) and do not follow the same price line. (For example: a toast of tuna for almost $800, a pasta with almost $2000). so it must be taken into account in advance. The hotel is very good for rest and if you know who to do activities, you can make a lot of options during your stay.

I’ll start by saying the wait staff and vendors that we hired for our wedding were incredible!! This review is purely on the coordinators Vita Martinez and Elizabeth Perez. We went through 3 different coordinators in a span of 6 months. Sure, maybe not much they could do to control that. What was in their control though was how to handle a seamless transition, with a thorough handoff to the next coordinator. This never happened. We would definitively decide something, they’d still send us a proposal with the wrong info. Vita single handedly ruined our wedding. What should have been the most joyous day of our lives, was marred by her complete lack of professionalism. The first look which is one of the highlights and pinnacles of anyone’s wedding day, was when she decided to tell me that we owed them more money than the 30 some plus thousand we already paid. Mind you this final bill was confirmed several times, the first two times I had to correct their mistakes of not including my initial deposit I paid. Not sure how that’s my responsibility to remind them, but I digress. They’ve known for months and weeks what our final guest count was. They decided on our wedding day at the first look, to say they made a mistake and we weren’t meeting the food and beverage quota and wanted to charge us 3,500 more for premium bar service. Again, this information was brought to my attention the day of and at our first look!! My mood and pictures and video from that moment on are all ruined because of Vita Martinez and Elizabeth Perez. Had they appropriately and professionally approached me about it, I may have paid it willingly even though again they’ve known this info for how long and either chose not to say anything to us, or are that incompetent that they discovered their error the day of. They also charged us 1,000s for a late night snack station including churros in a custom painted cart w a bike. They never delivered the cart that we agreed on, the literal only reason I would ever pay that much for mini churros. The aesthetic instead was mini churros in glass cups. So many other things I can say negatively about them. All I’ll end with is please avoid them at all costs unless you want to feel as if you planned your entire wedding and that they’ll try to squeeze more money out of you on the day of your wedding. Again the only thing that is incredible are the wait staff and bartenders.

Excellent! Food environment and service are all good! There are four restaurants, Italian, French, Mexican and a comprehensive restaurant, all of good quality! The bar is great too!

Hyatt Ziva Cabo! This review is geared towards those with young kids. Wife and I brought our 11 month old, and 3 1/2 year old boys. I was nervous going due to the recent reviews I had been reading. I can tell you this resort is fantastic, from start to finish and great for kids. We have been to five all inclusive. A Rio, Sandals, and Iberostar and this was overall our best experience. PROS: 1. Food: 7 or so restaurants. ＞ Buffett was above average food, with a large selection. Freshly made breakfast burritos, fresh Guacamole and ceviche were our go to's. Plenty of food for my kids that they enjoyed. ＞ Mexican restaurant. Good quality food ＞ Chinese/Japanese: Normal sushi role was just okay. Ask for the specialty role, it is as good as any role we have ever had in California at a Sushi Restaurant. ＞ Habachi Grille: Excellent! This is the only one you need to book in advance. 3-5PM, go to the lobby and sign up, you will be a few days out for a reservation. ＞ Food by the pool: Snack bar: Had really good healthy bowls, as well as hamburgers, fries, etc. There is a taco bar next to the ADULTS pool, also very good. Take it to go with kids. 3PM a quesadilla trailer opens, also a good spot. ＞ Itailian: Pizza and salmon were good. Not amazing. ＞ French and Argentinian: We did not get a chance to try. French is the only 18+ * Rooms: Excellent!! Massive room, large balcony with ocean views. Room was very clean, mini bar stocked with beer, snacks and water. Bathroom good size. We were able to shower both boys in there together. * Kids activities: ＞ Kids pool! Great pool, 3 slides, shallow water. Adults not allowed to go down slides. My 3.5 year old loved it, though I would say it is geared more towards 5-10. 2 of the slides were very fast. Also a small kids pool, about a foot deep next to it. ＞ Kids club: did not use. You are not allowed in there with your kids. That was a bummer. I believe you have to drop your children off, probably extra charge. It would have been nice to be able to utilize the arts and crafts for my son, but were not able to. Playground next to it. ＞ Beach. Large beach to play in the sand. No swimming at all. Very dangerous. Fatal. ＞ Pools: BEAUTIFUL! 2 massive pools in the middle of the Resort. kids can use both. Both are very warm. One has a swim up bar. We rented a water cabana one day, I believe for about $115. Well worth it. * Shows: Great entertainment! 45 min shows, starting at 8:30PM every night. Pretty late for kids, but we kept my kids up and decided to go each night and they loved it. One show was superhero and Disney, etc. another was geared towards the show COCO. My son got to meet the superhero and coco and it made his trip. Dancing is excellent and the main singer has a Disney style voice. * Service: Excellent. Everyone was very kind, worked extremely hard. We tipped well the whole trip because they deserve it. Wages are likely low, so be courteous, they are working hard for us to enjoy the experien

I can’t say enough about this amazing resort. It’s not only beautiful but it’s also expertly managed. We’ve stayed at a lot of 4 and 5 star resorts that are beautiful but not managed well. It makes a huge difference in the experience you have. Upon arriving everyone is warmly greeted by the bellboy staff. Saul, Many, Roberto, Joel and team who take care of a lobby full of people but still manage to make you feel like you’re the most important ones arriving. The check in process is quick, efficient and super friendly with a welcome margarita stand waiting for you. The food at the restaurants are some of the best we’ve had. The room staff is amazing. And the concierges (Natalie) is always there to make your stay extra special.

Beautiful hotel with exceptional service. My wife and I selected Nobu because it is situated outside of town and it seemed like it would be a bit more low-key than some of the other options in the greater Cabo area. We were pleasantly surprised with our selection. It was, indeed, the right choice for us as we were looking for somewhere to relax and reset. We weren’t interested in traditional tourism activities or proximity to the town; just comfortable room, good dining options, and great service in a beautiful, relaxing environment. We succeeded in those things, as the room was great, all the restaurants wherein we dined were fantastic, and the service from start to finish was outstanding. (Note: I’m sure Nobu offers plenty of options for activities, we just did not seek them. Also, we did arrange an Uber to town one afternoon and it was an easy and relatively inexpensive process - roughly $20USD) It was notably windy and could feel cold at times; the temperature of the pools could feel a bit cold too. But during the heat of day, it was quite refreshing to have that breeze and cooler water. Our service by the pool was fantastic, so overall we had a great experience. Admittedly it was a bit of a bummer that the beach area wasn’t really suitable for use during our stay (May 2023). It appears swimming is forbidden or highly discouraged at all times due to the currents, but not sure if the beach itself is more accessible when it is less windy out. Regardless, my wife and I enjoyed our time at Nobu and found our stay to be exactly what we needed to wind down and enjoy ourselves.

I want to spotlight an employee, Ricardo was our server while lounging on the beach portion of the resort. Ricardo was working harder than anyone I saw, constantly moving, taking orders, delivering orders, setting umbrellas, getting towels, he is a dynamo.

I don’t normally write reviews but I just needed to put my experience out there. I wish someone had been honest about the little things in their reviews. First I’d like to say that I don’t think my issues with our stay reflect the staff so much as the property. Everyone is extremely helpful and friendly and wants to make your stay as nice as possible. But I wouldn’t say they stand out as a whole compared to other properties/resorts staff. The property visually is stunning and it’s like it’s own little village with little alleys and pathways. It’s built into the mountain and they utilized the natural surroundings and rock structures in a way we don’t see much in the states. The lighting and other details like the heart trees are beautiful. But beauty doesn’t lead to functionality. Our room was absolutely gorgeous but not easy to move around in. The open air concept in the bathroom is beautiful but I just don’t enjoy taking open air showers. Most properties have a big airy bathroom but the shower has a glass surround that you can choose whether you want some cool air with your shower or not. Ok fine, not a deal breaker. Let’s move on. The bathroom door(s) is floor to ceiling barn door style double door. They bolts slide from one side and to shut the door you have to slide the outside panel past the sink, countertop, which makes it awkward if you just need to pop out to get some thing. Again, not a dealbreaker. Moving on. The view from our room was very unique with a dead palm tree right in the middle. It was still a gorgeous view but we’re at the Waldorf Astoria right??? After staying at a different location for four nights prior to our three day stay at WA, I felt great and well rested. Then we came over to the Waldorf…. Between the mosquitos in our room biting me and the mattress, I did not sleep well. The sitting area in our room made the space super cramped and it was difficult to move around. And the only place to lounge in the room is on the bed. Outside by the plunge pool there is no lounger either which I found disappointing. So the only place we can lounge is the shared pool areas and a few spots on the beach. So the biggest issue I had with our room is how “thin” the walls sound. The people above us kept dragging chairs around and it sounded like they were doing that in our room. People walking by outside when our doors were all shut sounded like they were in our room. Our room was along the route to el Farallon so we heard everyone and their loud conversations going to and from the restaurant. All those things together made it a deal breaker for me. The rest of my issues are just added in for extra flavor and some weren’t exactly the WA’s fault. We ended up being seated next to a family with a crying baby for way too many meals, trying to eat outside in the daytime meant covering your food between bites bc the flies were so bad, and don’t think you’ll get to use the one hot tub they have. It’s TINY. And it’s located in the f
