5. Pueblo Bonito Los Cabos
Pueblo Bonito Los Cabos’ Mediterranean-style retreat appeals to travelers looking for a room with a view. From your guest room’s private balcony or patio, you’ll gaze out over Medano Beach to the Sea of Cortez and the Land’s End rock formation. Each of the 147 suites features a blue and white color palette and comes with a kitchenette, cable TV and complimentary internet access. Previous visitors said the hotel’s proximity to Cabo’s bustling downtown area is just as great an asset as its clean, spacious rooms. Travelers also applaud the attentive staff, along with the tasty Mexican and international cuisine served at the property’s two restaurants, Cilantro’s and Las Palomas. If you prefer lounging by the pool, delight in light dishes as you admire impressive ocean views at the Pueblo Bonito Los Cabos poolside bar. More perks of this all-inclusive resort include private beach access, restaurant “theme nights” and cooking and bartending classes.
6. Blue Diamond Luxury Boutique
Catching up on some quality rest and relaxation comes naturally to guests staying at the Blue Diamond Riviera Maya. This relatively small adults-only resort – which has just 128 rooms and suites – sprawls across beige sands and sits roughly 6 miles north of central Playa del Carmen. Blue Diamond Riviera Maya keeps things simple and classy – guest suites come outfitted in crisp, white decor with rich wood accents, floor-to-ceiling windows and a terrace or garden, not to mention high-end amenities like outdoor bathtubs, 42-inch flat-screen TVs and free Wi-Fi, and in some rooms, private plunge pools. Guests love the look and feel of Blue Diamond Riviera Maya, but they’re even more impressed by all that’s included in the room rate. A stay at this all-inclusive resort covers not only access to three pools, three restaurants and beachfront concierge services, but also includes access to an 18-hole golf course, yoga classes and a fitness center. What’s more, the property features the Spa by Blue Diamond, which offers unique therapies like seaweed wraps and hot stone massages.
