Typically when a lodging firm has three resorts in a single location, they’re scattered round city in several spots, even when it’s an enormous model like Marriott. The Velas Resorts firm has a really totally different scenario in Los Cabos although, the place their three resorts that attraction to totally different crowds are all a couple of minutes’ stroll away from one another on the vacationer hall.
This wasn’t at all times the case. We reviewed Grand Velas Los Cabos quickly after it opened and located it to be simply as spectacular as the opposite ones that got here earlier than it within the Riviera Maya and Riviera Nayarit’s Nuevo Vallarta space north of the Puerto Vallarta airport. Each of these had been massive and daring luxurious all-inclusive resorts that had been arrange properly for vacationing households, however acknowledged that the dad and mom want some grownup stimulation too.
So all three of those Velas resorts of Los Cabos have connoisseur eating places open for dinner, attention-grabbing bars which might be greater than an afterthought, and in depth spas for some correct pampering.
Grand Velas Los Cabos Resort
That game-winning plan continues at Grand Velas Los Cabos, the resort with the one and solely Michelin-star restaurant within the area: Cocina de Autor. I’ve dined at a number of others in Los Cabos that had been “acknowledged by Michelin,” however they haven’t been almost as spectacular because the tasting menu dinner I had right here. All the things was superbly offered, the flavors had been completely blended as an alternative of over-salted, and the wine pairings had been considerate as properly. My expertise was a ten out of 10, the most effective eating experiences I’ve had in Mexico.
When you’ve been to a different Grand Velas resort, you’ll discover some acquainted components right here which have labored properly within the others: bougainvillea flowers spilling down from furnished balconies, outsized rooms the place even the requirements are big, and meals which might be uniformly good throughout a number of shops in numerous cuisines. The night time eating places are all lovely, on par with what you’d discover in an enormous metropolis, and also you’ve received a number of ingesting spots to select from by day or night time.

Grand Velas Boutique Resort Los Cabos
I’m unsure why the corporate picked a reputation that was so confusingly much like the present one once they opened this new luxurious all-inclusive resort, however apart from the small “boutique” differentiator indicating that this one is smaller, it’s additionally an adults-only property. So it’s not as giant as its massive sister and there aren’t any children splashing round. It’s extra intimate and romantic, however with the identical excessive requirements on the meals and beverage aspect.
You do have entry to the bigger resort in your all-inclusive plan (with reservations) if you happen to get bored with the restaurant choices on the boutique property. Or if you wish to expertise the bigger spa for a further charge. The principle dinner restaurant right here is terrific although and there are many choices on the menu in any respect the shops to maintain you occupied for some time.
The massive spotlight right here is the swimming pool advanced, which doesn’t look something like those at different resorts within the area. The tile mosaic impact is kind of spectacular and there are two group scorching tubs as properly. The bartenders serve some attention-grabbing signature cocktails from the menu and so they’re glad to make your favourite as properly, from high quality liquors that go up a notch or two from the norm.

Mar del Cabo by Velas Resorts
we don’t have a full evaluation of this property on our web site as a result of it’s not as upscale as the opposite two. This was an current resort that was working earlier than both of its neighbors had been even designed, occupying a thin stretch of hillside that spills right down to the identical seashore strewn with boulders, sandwiched between the 2 resorts lined above.
It solely has tk rooms, so it’s a very good candidate for a buyout in order for you one thing beachfront for a vacation spot wedding ceremony, gross sales incentive group, or massive household reunion. The Encanto restaurant was glorious after I dined there and it had the most effective craft beer alternatives I’ve discovered within the space. The view from there to the ocean is beautiful and the pool advanced is gorgeous.
This small resort is just not all-inclusive although just like the others and also you’ve received to be cellular sufficient to navigate loads of stairs. There are rooms you’ll be able to attain by elevator from the foyer, however you’ll be able to’t get to the pool and restaurant with out loads of steps. When you don’t have any points, take into account it your day by day train in an space the place it’s not really easy to come back by other than seashore walks.
The seashore is nice for a protracted stroll right here although, going previous some condos, Le Blanc, and the Solaz Resort by Marriott. This isn’t one of many seashores the place you’ll be able to swim in Los Cabos although. There are some pretty calm areas close to the rocks the place you gained’t get knocked down, however in any other case don’t get too near the surf.
Mar del Cabo is an efficient alternative if you happen to just like the colonial Mexico model (which you’ll additionally discover in a extra subdued kind at One&Solely Palmilla and Rosewood Las Ventanas) as an alternative of the very fashionable model on the boutique resort subsequent door. The intense talavera tile stands out in each path you look and provides this property an actual sense of place.
So examine in with Velas Resorts if you happen to’re contemplating a trip in Los Cabos.
