More details

Also
The hotel is on a beachfront, but hold fire before diving right in: the majority of beaches in Los Cabos aren’t good for swimming, thanks to a pesky rip current – stick to the four pools instead.
At the hotel
Free WiFi throughout, bicycles to borrow, gym, beach, cinema, valet parking. In rooms: free bottled water, Nespresso coffee machine, tea-making kit, 65-inch smart TV, iPod dock, air-conditioning, minibar and Roil bath products.
Our favourite rooms
If you dream of waking to uninterrupted Pacific views, go for one of the ocean-view rooms – though even the ‘partial’ categories will give you enough pleasing glimpses to be getting on with. All rooms are winners, though, with a day-bed-enhanced terrace, as well as a pool if you've booked wisely.
Poolside
Take a dip in one of the five pools. The first is for adults only, tucked away on a rooftop. There are two on the beachfront, one of which has a hot tub; and another that's family-friendly. The main pool is an oval, with a ring of sunloungers.
Spa
The spa has assorted treatment rooms for Natura Bissé rituals, including mani-pedis, hot-stone massages and reflexology. Pilates, yoga and other fitness classes are held regularly. It's adults-only, since clothing is optional, but there are some special treatments for under-15s, as long as they're accompanied.
Packing tips
Bring tan-showcasing colourful kaftans and cover-ups. Swapping your sun hat for a sombrero is optional.
Also
The resort is easy to navigate for wheelchair users and there is a specially adapted bedroom available.

Sustainability efforts
The hotel does its bit for the environment by using locally sourced, fair-trade produce where possible – and its cleaning products, light bulbs and toiletries are Mother Earth-minded, too. That straw in your drink? It's biodegradable and made from recycled avocado pips. Your colourful salad? All sourced from local farm Cabo Organics.
