Why travelers love it
“All‑suite family‑friendly resort perched on a private bluff in Cabo San Lucas”
Perched on 50 acres above the Pacific on the quieter Sunset Beach side of Cabo, this family-friendly resort delivers dramatic ocean views, a sprawling pool complex, and a Sky Pool overlooking the sea. The tradeoff: the beach here is beautiful to look at but not safe for swimming due to strong currents, so vacations revolve around the pools.
Food & drink
StrongOver 20 restaurants deliver real variety, with Tazuna's sushi and Zao Shen's Asian menu drawing the loudest praise. The catch: the base all-inclusive plan is a starter kit, and standout venues often carry upcharges.
high confidence
What you'll enjoy
- Tazuna sushi repeatedly called the best
- Zao Shen dishes fresh and flavorful
- La Nao buffet reliable for families
- Anniversary and celebration touches from waitstaff
Heads up
- Premium restaurants come with upcharges
- À la carte prices steep off the AI plan
- One soft-opening venue had slow, disorganized service
Dining overview
Features numerous restaurants and bars on-site, plus The Market at Quivira food hall with multiple cuisines like Mexican and Asian. All-inclusive guests have dining access at sister resorts, but some specialty restaurants require a surcharge.

Beach
MixedThe beach itself is beautiful and wide, with sweeping Pacific views, but the surf is not safe for swimming. Come for sunset walks, not ocean dips.
high confidence
What you'll enjoy
- Dramatic Pacific coastline and sunsets
- Wide sandy beach for walking
- Beach service from attentive staff
Heads up
- Surf too rough to swim
- No true swim-in ocean access
The wide stretch of golden sand on Sunset Beach is striking and largely private, but like most of Cabo's Pacific side, the surf is rough with dangerous undertow and swimming is not permitted. It's best enjoyed for long walks, photos, and sunset watching from a lounger.

Pools
StandoutThe real headliner: six or seven pools, each with its own bar, food service and personality, so you can pool-hop all week. The Villa 40 and Sky Pool crews are the ones regulars name by heart.
high confidence
What you'll enjoy
- Six-plus pools including adults-only and Sky Pool
- Attentive drink and food service at every pool
- Villa 40 a hidden favorite
- Swim-up bars and lively music at the main pool
Heads up
- Some pools closed or privatized for events
- Chair reservation systems favor elite guests
The resort makes up for the unswimmable beach with multiple pools across the property, including an adults-only Sky Pool with infinity views over the Pacific, a large main pool with a swim-up bar, and a dedicated kids' pool area. Chair availability can get tight during peak season.

What’s included
MixedValue splits the room: repeat guests feel the location, service and suites justify the price, while newcomers get blindsided by upcharges, expensive taxis and a base AI plan that nickel-and-dimes extras. Fair on paper, frustrating in practice if you don't upgrade.
high confidence
What you'll enjoy
- Spacious suites with kitchenettes and ocean views
- Loyal 20-year returning guests
- Beautiful grounds and cliffside setting
Heads up
- All-inclusive is a basic meal plan; most extras cost more
- On-property taxis roughly double Uber prices
- Off-plan food and drinks called "stupid expensive"
- Some rooms and furniture visibly worn
Package inclusions and upgrade access have not been collected yet. Confirm them for your room and dates when booking.
Amenities & activities
Couples
Good fitA romantic Cabo pick for anniversaries and weddings, with cliffside suites, hot-tub balconies and a wedding team that regulars return to. Not adults-only, so expect kids in the mix outside the adult pool.
high confidence
What you'll enjoy
- Suites with balcony hot tubs and ocean views
- Popular wedding and anniversary venue
- Adults-only pool for quiet time
- Sunset views from the bluff
Heads up
- Family crowds during peak weeks
- Some rooms feel worn
Families
Good fitMultigenerational families come back year after year, drawn by the all-suite layout, kitchenettes and pool-hopping options. Non-swimmable surf is the one meaningful catch for kids.
high confidence
What you'll enjoy
- Suites with small kitchens for family meals
- Six pools plus kid-friendly buffet at La Nao
- Golf-cart shuttles across the huge property
- Multi-generational regulars for 18+ years
Heads up
- Ocean not safe for swimming
- Property scale means long walks or cart waits
Peace & Quiet
StrongPerched away from the Cabo strip, Sunset Beach reads calmer than the in-town Pueblo Bonito properties, though weddings, DJs and privatized events can flip the vibe loud after dark.
medium confidence
What you'll enjoy
- More relaxed than the Rose or Blanco
- Gardens and paved paths for evening strolls
- Adult pool zones for peaceful lounging
Heads up
- Pools and common areas privatized for events until 11pm
- Can feel overcrowded during holidays
Six pools including a SkyPool and adult‑only pool, spa with wet areas, fitness center with classes, tennis courts, golf club access, kids club and FunLab teens club, The Market at Quivira food hall, chapel, shuttle to sister resorts

What to Know
This is a sprawling, all-suite cliffside resort where the base all-inclusive is not truly all-inclusive and timeshare pitches are aggressive. Plan on golf-cart rides, restaurant reservations and skipping the ocean swim.
high confidence
What you'll enjoy
- Golf carts shuttle you across the property and to sister resorts
- All-suite rooms include kitchenettes
- Concierge helps with dining and transport bookings
- Access to sister Pueblo Bonito properties
Heads up
- Timeshare presentations pushed hard at check-in
- Uber not permitted on property; forced into pricier resort taxis
- Tequila tastings, premium restaurants and extras billed separately
- Ocean not swimmable due to surf
- Occasional maintenance issues (AC, leaks, mold) reported
WATCH OUT: Seasonal heads-up
- Pacific-side surf is dangerous year-round; no ocean swimming
- Hurricane season runs June through November, with peak risk August–October
- Whale-watching season December–April is a highlight off this coast
Transfers from SJD airport run about 45 minutes; arrange in advance since the resort is on the Pacific side, farther from the airport than marina-area hotels. The all-inclusive plan is optional here — confirm what's included before booking, as à la carte adds up quickly. Free shuttles connect to sister Pueblo Bonito properties at the marina, which is useful for nightlife and excursions. Tipping in USD is common and appreciated.
Good to know
- The beach is not swimmable — strong currents and undertow; plan to pool-swim
- All-inclusive is optional, not automatic — verify your meal plan when booking
- Free shuttle connects to sister properties at the Cabo marina
- The property is large and hilly; staff drive guests around in golf carts
- Adjacent Pacifica resort is adults-only; Sunset Beach is family-friendly
