Last week I headed to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico to learn about the area and visit a few of the most popular all-inclusive resorts. I loved the ocean, mountain, and desert feel of the area. While I can’t visit every resort I send clients to, I sure like to try. Most of the resorts I visited were adults only. I fell in love with each one for a different reason.

*It is important to note that there are only a few resorts that have swimmable beaches in Cabo. The five resorts I visited do not have swimmable beaches, but you can still sunbathe and enjoy the crashing waves while relaxing.

Pueblo Bonito Pacifica

An adults-only heaven on a dazzling, private beach. The resort features superb dining, unique vacation experiences, the wellness-inspired Armonía Spa, and exclusive access to the Jack Nicklaus Signature course at Quivira Golf Club. Upgrade to one of the 47 suites in the Towers for butler service, VIP lounge, upgraded amenities, and some of the best views (plunge pools in some suites).

This resort was one of my favorites of the week. Pueblo Bonito is a gated community of properties offering resorts and villa stays.

Sandos Finisterra

I fell in love with this resort as soon as I got out of the car. Parts of the resort are built into the mountains. Sandos Finisterra is one of the most famous all-inclusive resorts in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. The hotel is a short walk away from downtown Cabo San Lucas, and packed with entertainment, so you will never run out of things to see and do during your all-inclusive Los Cabos vacation. Fun fact: Keith Richards was married here.
