Top La Playa Hotel Reviews

Hotel Riu Santa Fe - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"RIU Santa Fe is perfect for families, small/large groups and solo travelers. Plenty to do on property and close to downtown Cabo San Lucas or San Jose del Los Cabo’s."

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."

Hyatt Ziva Los Cabos- All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"Our stay was great. The pools, amenities and staff were fantastic. Rooms were clean and well stocked. The food was good for an all-inclusive, not fantastic, but good. Something for everyone. Not all restaurants are open every day, so be sure to check before going what days which restaurants are open. One downfall was elevators were under maintenance, so a long extended walk to our room from the elevators. Also, one afternoon, ALL the elevators in our building quit working, which made a 7 story stair climb to our room with a 1 year old fun… luckily they resolved the problem the next day, but made for a tough day. Lots of families and the staff was great with children. Would stay again."
