Hotel El Ganzo

From the moment of arrival, El Ganzo announces itself as something altogether different: a home for the creative soul perched at the breathtaking edge of the world, where the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Cortez embrace. And if the landscape is extraordinary, the people who bring it to life are nothing short of magnificent. Erika and Ale at the front desk offered a welcome full of warmth, grace, and effortless professionalism that immediately made one feel welcome. Beto's gracious presence as go-to for valet parking. Sergio, the pontoon operator, conveyed the patience and confidence of a protector of the sacred. And Erik, server at the beach and cabana, elevated every meal and every sun-drenched hour with attentiveness and smiles. El Ganzo promises art, culture, and self-fulfillment. It delivers, not just through its stunning murals and art, but through every human interaction along the way.

I stayed at El Ganzo for a friend’s wedding, and it was a beautiful hotel with the most incredible personnel! Anny, Chris, Beto, and the rest of the staff made my stay a delight from check-in to check-out. Admittedly, food and drink are pricey (coming from someone in their 20s), but I never had an item that disappointed. I would recommend El Ganzo to anyone coming to Cabo!

I had an amazing experience at the Beach Club at Hotel El Ganzo. From the moment we arrived, everything felt elevated and welcoming. The food was absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with great ingredients and care. Every dish we tried exceeded expectations. The drinks were another highlight. They were incredibly fresh, well-balanced, and perfect for a beach day. What truly made the experience stand out, though, was the service. It’s honestly on another level compared to any other beach club in Los Cabos. The team is attentive, friendly, and genuinely focused on making sure you have a great time. A special shout-out to Alfonso, the supervisor, who truly takes the experience to the next level. His attention to detail and warm hospitality make the whole visit feel special. He made sure everything ran perfectly and that we felt taken care of from start to finish. The only tiny downside was that the wind picked up a bit in the afternoon—but that’s just nature doing its thing in Baja and honestly part of the charm of being right by the ocean. If you're visiting Los Cabos and want an unforgettable beach club experience with fantastic food, refreshing drinks, and outstanding service, this is the place to go. Highly recommended.

Thank you El Ganzo hotel for your amazing hospitality and care when we came to San Jose Del Cabo for my daughter's wedding. We had a group of 60 people and you took great care of our family and friends and for that I am so grateful! The customer service was prompt, reliable, and always friendly. From room service, to housekeeping, to concierge, to dining options, to swimming, to check-in and check-out, to the spa and gym, to gathering places for our group, to quiet peaceful places to sit and relax, - Hotel El Ganzo exceeded my expectations! The art was stunning throughout the hotel and the music set the vibe throughout our days. I would LOVE to come back again to this beautiful area and I would definitely make Hotel El Ganzo my home base again.

I had an amazing 4 day stay here with my fiancé the week following Valentines day. The weather was perfect with numerous occasions of spotting whales breaching and spouting throughout. The staff was top notch especially pool side. We had Monserrat (Monse) taking very good care of us each day feeding us amazing drinks (the spicey Margaritas is a specialty) as well as just making us feel at home, talking to us about the resort and where to go. She made our stay so much better. The view and rooms were excellent and very easy and affordable to get around. We learned last day of the few restaurants within walking distance if you tire of the hotel's limited menu. We will definitely be back and we hope to see Monse there waiting with her spicy margaritas!

We had a wonderful time. Loved the artsy vibes! Such a unique decor. The in room tub was a huge hit- we used it daily. The food was absolutely excellent. All the granola bowls and the avocado toast for breakfast were a dream! Lunch and dinner were excellent. I loved my spa treatment. The beach club and the rooftop bar with the DJ were a delight. The store had such unique items - I got some jewelry and a purse I’ll wear with the fondest memories. :)

We had an amazing time here. I came to San Jose for a wedding and a majority of us stayed at the hotel here. We enjoyed the welcome party across the water near the beach club and it was so lovely. Great views, and I've never seen so many art pieces in one hotel so it was fun to explore the halls. Staff was great, drinks were made to perfection, and the boat service was a nice touch of luxury.

Hotel El Ganzo in San José del Cabo absolutely blew us away—even though we weren’t guests at the hotel. We showed up three nights in a row with fish we had caught ourselves, and every single time the kitchen turned it into an incredible meal. Thoughtful preparation, flawless execution, and seriously delicious results. It felt personal, not performative—like they genuinely cared about making the experience special. The service was outstanding: friendly, attentive, and effortlessly polished. And the vibe? Spot on. Elegant but never stiff, relaxed but still refined. El Ganzo has that rare atmosphere where you feel comfortable lingering—great energy, great design, great people. As the Pixies sang, “I got plenty of time” — Pixies That lyric fits perfectly here, because El Ganzo is the kind of place where you want to slow down, savor the moment, and stay a little longer than planned. Whether you’re staying at the hotel or just passing through with a fresh catch, El Ganzo delivers an unforgettable experience. Can’t recommend it enough

Absolutely loved this Hotel. Rooms, dining, lobby, and pool. The view was amazing and with all the sea life present on the daily… never a bad show. Sea lions, pelicans and the whales all showed off. It did not disappoint. If you’re looking for great service, you will find it. A young lady whose name is Montserrat, she works at the pool. The most attentive, professional warm hearted young lady there. If I were to give 10 out of 10 stars, she gets 20. Highly recommend this Hotel and make sure you give Montserret a hug or a high five for being awesome and amazing.

We loved our experience at the singular Hotel Ganzo! The atmosphere is whimsical and smart; the design is eclectic and modern. Our room was pared down and immaculate. We felt our experience to be remarkably personal - the hotel overall felt calm, quiet, relaxing. The service and staff was utterly on point, one-step-ahead-of-us, yet chill. We wanted for nothing and felt fulfilled and then some by the amenities offered. The location is unique and we wanted for nothing. For all this, the price of our stay was insanely accessible - an amazing value! We will be returning as soon as we can!

We’ve been vacationing in SJdC since 2012 and have traveled as a couple and with kids, even for a graduation present. This is our goto Mexico getaway. Over the years there have been tremendous changes and lots of new hotels and resorts. The Hotel El Ganzo is still our #1 choice for perfect relaxation. Located right on the thriving yacht marina with a private beach, rooftop top pool, world class spa and exceptional dining. Take it from people that travel a lot, the El Ganzo is the gem you don’t want to miss!

We were attending a wedding at the JW, but I had previously heard of El Ganzo, and prefer boutique hotels, so we decided to stay there. We enjoyed our stay here very much. I loved the decor, the hotel seemed well taken care of. The water jugs in the rooms were incredibly thoughtful considering you can't usually use tap water in mexico to brush your teeth. Our room was perfect. We could hear the sea lions in the mornings (but frustrating because we couldn't see them!) We were able to see a whale or two and flying sting rays from our room! The housekeeping staff was incredible and made sure we were well taken care of. Extra towels, anything we needed. I do think the actives do need to displayed a little more prominently as we didn't know about them until after we came back from dinner. The only real complaint I have was the service for breakfast was a little inconsistent. Our breakfast was included in our room, and some days we received the fruit platter (which was amazing), and some days we didn't. Some days our server was just MIA, some days they were very present. Sometimes I would have to flag someone down for things like milk and sugar, or a knife. The quiet pool was very serene and peaceful. It wasn't heated, but it was nice to sit by. The rooftop pool hot area was fantastic. The pool is not heated, so a little cool, so I mostly sat in the hot tub, which was amazing. The bar tenders are fabulous, the food at the pool bar was also really good. We meant to get over to the beach club and just never made it. We'll have to go next time. We will be back next year, and are bringing friends with us.

Love this place so much. If you are looking for shopping or big nightlife it’s not your spot. But if you are looking for a boutique hotel with amazing service and all the nicest amenities tucked away from the tourist areas, this is your place. I come here at least once a year for a week to revive my soul. All of the staff attends to every detail. Checking in is a delight. The rooftop pool has a great vibe, good food, drinks and fabulous service. The beach club is equally as wonderful. Saltycabo offers different boating options right from the marina. Not the least expensive place in Cabo, but definitely worth the price.

Cannot recommend staying at Hotel El Ganzo enough! It's close to all the Centro/farm restaurants but provides swimmable beach access and the most beautiful rooftop sunset views over the marina and mountains. It's also walking distance to a few coffee shops and restaurants and offers free parking. The staff is friendly and helpful, and they go out of their way to make it a good stay. We loved the live music and will definitely keep an eye on their events calendar for another trip!
