This resort is definitely a 5 star resort. The beautifully appointed suites, the incredible culinary tour with the best best buffet we've had at the many resorts we've stayed. the location in the path of the whale migration was perfect. We spent many breakfasts watching the whales breach! And the staff provided absolutely the best service ever. I Can't say enough good things about our concierge Adalid. He really did go above and beyond. Everything was taken care of almost before we needed it! He was friendly, Knowledgeable, personable and had our answers. He even managed to get a prescription I had forgotten delivered to the resort in record time. Best concierge ever! Juanito at Luccas provided me with an off menu meal when my stomach was iffy, Isobel at the pool almost provided drinks before we asked! everyone was well trained and excellent. My only two caveats are that it is a family not an adults only and the physical property is challenging at best for someone with limitations. The resort tries hard to seperate the family pools from the adults only. But it seemed everytime we sat down to eat there was a crying toddler behind us. And since it is terraced into a hill, the resort had steep inclines and steps, both of which are challenging for me with COPD. We eventually adjusted our routes to various places but it is a very big resort. Beyond those two things which really are intrinsic to the resort, there is not one other thing I can critique. You definitely get what you paid for at this luxury resort.

Ahhhhh we love Grand Velas Los Cabos! This trip was another amazing experience. Dinner at Cucina Autor is always a highlight, the creations are out of this world. The whales this time of year were just unbelievable. We felt so well taken care of by our concierge Astrid Cota who made all of our transportation arrangements, reservations and spa arrangements. The spa was another highlight. So happy to have had such an amazing experience. 🐳☀️♥️

What an incredible property. It truly is a class above. From the beautiful views, incredible views and wonderful amenities to Astrid Cota our suite attendant I cannot say enough about this wonderful resort. Until next time Grand Velas los Cabos!!

Our entire experience at the Grand Velas Los Cabos was spectacular. From the moment we arrived, we were taken care of. Our concierge, Ana, was so helpful and arranged for anything needed during our stay. The food and drinks at each restaurant we dined at was top notch. Even the pool menu food was amazing. The facilities were so modern, clean, and high-end. We definitely plan to return, and will likely bring our kids next time!

As so many have already said, the Grand Velas is undoubtedly a beautiful resort. The entire property is well-maintained and very clean. Our suite (Governors – One Bedroom) was spacious, spotless, and stocked with a great selection of snacks and beverages. Elisa, our concierge, was exceptional—always available to help and even surprised us twice with champagne and treats in our room. Despite the resort’s many strengths, there were a few things we experienced that kept me from giving it a five-star rating. It all began months before our arrival. Grand Velas is known for its high-quality dining, with multiple restaurants offering diverse menus. It's highly recommended to make dinner reservations in advance, but we encountered significant delays in getting responses to our requests—multiple emails over two weeks just to confirm reservations. Why should this take so long? The resort also requires a casual-elegant dress code for most dinners, including long pants and collared shirts for men. While this wasn’t an issue for me, we were surprised to see other guests wearing shorts and t-shirts. Had I known, I would have packed a lot less clothing. The spa was beautiful, and we were treated to a 90-minute “Water Celebration,” which was fantastic. However, when we inquired about a couples massage, we were quoted $960 for 90 minutes or $700 for 60 minutes. With tips included, the 90-minute treatment would total over $1,000. Sorry, but that’s insane. The property was only about 25% occupied, and while there were plenty of families, we were glad there were adult-only areas. Kids and teens were well-catered for with various activities, but the lack of nightlife was noticeable. On the three nights we went to the SkyBar (the only bar with music and a dance floor), there were maybe just one or two couples there, and there was little to no evening entertainment elsewhere on the property. The most contentious issue was tipping after dining. This was a hot topic on a daily basis while talking to others as we lounged by the pool. The majority consensus was one of confusion about how much to tip, or frustration that after dropping $10K+ for a week, you’re still not done paying after you eat. At the end of each meal (buffet included), you are handed a bill with an "Other" line for tips, requiring a signature and room number. While tipping wasn’t mandatory, the system made many feel pressured to do so. For the record, I am not anti-tipping, but the whole thing seemed a little odd, and why label it as “Other” when it should just say “Tip”? Another guest angrily complained that having been to the resort six times prior to a few years ago, this was not done before. A side consequence of this extends to the breakfast and lunch buffets. The waiters bring your beverages, and on several occasions, we couldn’t leave when we were done eating because we had to wait for the server to circle back and bring a bill before we could get on with our day. Additionally, there were times when we ordered beverages before going up to the buffet and received nothing to drink until halfway through the meal. It all just seemed so unnecessary. Grand Velas is a stunning property with a hard-working staff, but based on what you're paying, the lengthy reservation process, inconsistent dress code enforcement, exorbitant spa prices, and tipping policies need attention. I’m sure you’ll love the food and have a great time—just know what to expect.

The pluses. Good location, attentive staff. Buffett is severely lacking, not even a good fresh fruit selection. Restaurants are meh. Property is showing its age. Pool side service and bars are good. Definitely better options for the price. Adult pool is nice, easy to get a lounge chair.

Amazing location and exceptional service. Possible the nicest hotel I have stayed at in Mexico. The food was really great and the pools are incredible. The rooms are very large with lots of room for everything. The bathroom had two sinks and a makeup vanity.
