My personal experience at Grand Velas Los Cabos
Okay I have to talk about Grand Velas Los Cabos because it genuinely wrecked my expectations for all-inclusives 🙌
I just got back and I’m still thinking about it. Like… this might be the best resort experience I’ve ever had, and I’ve been to over 70 all-inclusives at this point. Not exaggerating.
A few things that blew me away:
• The Wellness Suites (their boutique wing) — this is the move if you want that intimate, adults-only, “not a mega resort” feel but still want full access to everything. Smaller pool, quieter, insanely beautiful. Feels like its own private property.
• The FOOD. Piaf and Cocina de Autor are not “good for all-inclusive,” they’re just straight up good, period. Chef-driven, next level.
• The spa is one of the largest in Latin America and it’s built into the rock overlooking the Sea of Cortez. Sunset views from there are unreal 😍
• Honestly the service is what got me the most — every single person on that property made you feel like the only guest there. That kind of attentiveness is rare even at high-end resorts.
Full transparency since I don’t want to just drop a glowing review and ghost: I’m a travel advisor, so this is a resort I book for clients a lot. Booking with me costs you nothing extra — generally I offer a lower price vs booking direct — and also you get added exclusive perks on top like spa credit, upgrades when available, welcome amenities, and me in your corner if anything needs handling while you’re there. I just genuinely love getting people to this resort because I know they’ll have the trip of their life.
