Hotel Riu Palace Cabo San Lucas - All Inclusive

6/10 Okay

"This place was ok. The food could have been better. The pool and swim up bar where nice. "

Nobu Hotel Los Cabos

2/10 Terrible

"Deeply disappointing stay for what is marketed as a luxury hotel. TLDR: Nobu excels as a restaurant, but the hotel side is nowhere near the standard of true luxury brands. We chose it for our 40th anniversary and immediately regretted it. Hot water issues: We had no hot water for 2 of 4 nights. Management never took ownership. The ambassador sent maintenance repeatedly until they eventually brought in a portable water heater so we could shower. After that, no follow‑up and no acknowledgment of the inconvenience. Misleading spa credit: We arrived with a spa credit that the hotel restricted to a single short massage and nothing else. Additional fees were added, and when we asked for clarification, we were told to contact the booking site. No effort to assist. Dietary accommodation failure: Staff acknowledged our restriction at every meal, yet still served a dish containing an ingredient we had clearly said we could not eat. At a true luxury property, this would have been corrected immediately and proactively. Here, it wasn’t even addressed. Token gesture from management: As first‑time guests celebrating a milestone, we expected the hotel to make things right. The gesture offered at checkout was so minimal it felt dismissive rather than helpful. Bottom line: Exceptional food, but shockingly poor hospitality. Nobu may run a world‑class restaurant, but the hotel experience falls far below luxury standards. We’ll return to our usual brands on future trips to Cabo."

Paradisus Los Cabos - Adults Only - All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"We really enjoyed our stay for the most part, they really do an amazing job at cleaning the rooms, the breakfast and lunch was the better options for us as far as the taste of foods, we did not enjoy the Mexican restaurant for dinner but the Italian and Asian were pretty good. The only problem we had was the service at the pool bar, we sat there for 40 minutes and were only served once so we had to walk up to another bar. I was so excited for the pool bar too, other than that we had a great time"

Corazon Cabo, a Noble House Resort

10/10 Excellent

"First off—whoever didn’t give Corazon five stars is tripping. The staff was amazing from the moment we got there, and the whole resort was top tier. The amenities were on point, the vibe was perfect, and everything you need is literally within walking distance—food spots, clubs, even Walmart. The location honestly couldn’t be better. Cabo was a whole experience and Corazon made it even better. Definitely coming back in August."
