What to expect: Catering to families and especially child-friendly, the resort also attracts couples with its "quiet" pool and beach hammocks.
Amenity highlights: Surrounded by cushioned teak lounges, heated pools provide year-round swimming until 10 PM. A freeform pool with swim-up bar and infinity edge spills into a lower section. One of the pools is for families where children can enjoy a water slide between levels and parents can enjoy a delicious cocktail at our swim-up bar. The other one is a "quiet" pool for adults only, where one can relax with lounge music. Swimming off the beach is unsafe due to strong undertows, but the beach does offer hammocks under thatched roofs.
Insider tip: Safe swimming and water sports are available at Médano Beach near downtown Cabo San Lucas 18 km (11.25 mi) away, and safe swimming and snorkeling are available at Chileno Beach 4.5 km (2.75 mi), Santa Maria Beach 6.5 km (4 mi), and Palmilla Beach 8.5 km (5.25 mi).
