Top La Playa Hotel Reviews

Hotel Riu Palace Baja California - Adults Only - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"Wow! I’ve stayed at several RIU resorts before, but this one has been my favorite so far. We booked the Elite Club, and it was absolutely worth it — so many great perks. The staff was amazing, and the food at the à la carte restaurants was incredible. Even the activities outside the hotel exceeded our expectations. Just book it and enjoy — you won’t regret it. And don’t forget to tip the staff; they truly earn it with their excellent service."

Grand Fiesta Americana Los Cabos All Inclusive Golf & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was very helpful and always willing to assist with luggage. There were a few things left unsaid when we first got there. If you get the daily resort credit you can use it to upgrade room and check in early. The first staff member didnt tell us but the second lady did. There was also a HUGE helpful concierge guy who helped us tremendously. Highly recommend and if I go to Cabo again, I'll be staying here. Also, dont forget to tip!"

Secrets Puerto Los Cabos - Adults Only - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was amazing. The only thing that caught us off guard was the additional cost for a different tequila other than house. We have been to several all inclusive resorts and we have never been told we need to pay more for a different tequila other than house."
