San José del Cabo Hotel Guide - Playa Hotelera hotels in San José del Cabo, Mexico.

"Beautiful property. Food and drinks were high quality and so good. Rooms were spacious and clean. Staff was so accommodating and kind."

"Right on the ocean with plenty of loungers at the pool or on the sand with shade or no shade. Fabulous breakfasts! Friendly people working the property. Close to everything. Comfortable beds!"

"I’d recommend this for those looking for a relaxing, affordable (relative to nearby resorts), and reputable spot with food and amenities that are good enough. Don’t recommend for well-traveled, bougie, high-standards travelers. Breakfast, drinks, specialty restaurants, and service were fantastic. It’s in a great location, just a 10-min walk from a superstore and across the street from pharmacies. The buffets were fine, amenities were fine, itinerary is fine (everyone seems to go to sleep at night), and accommodations were fine. My biggest grievance is that the pool chairs are all reserved by 8am, but pool is still half empty by noon. I wish they’d enforce that better so I didn’t have to set an alarm to go lay my towel on a chair. Good mix of families, spring breakers, young, old, etc. Overall, I think you get what you pay for and then some. There are better options, but there are certainly much worse — I had a great time, and it seemed like everyone else did too. Shout out to Fernando, Sabas, Arturo, and Val for being entertaining and kind!"

"Family friendly resort, with a nice waterpark for younger kids. Staff is very friendly. Beach area is clean and we were able to find loungers most days. This was our 3rd time here and we noticed a few differences. Resort now uses an app but the activities listed each day don't match what is actually offered and we had trouble finding these. We felt there were less activities and interaction with the entertainment crew, although the evening shows are still very well performed. And if you don't "reserve" a chair by the pool by 7am, it's very hard to find one. We enjoyed the restaurants but found the kids menu to be very limited with only the same 3 options each evening. "

"An excellent family oriented resort with a nice layout and everything you would need for an enjoyable stay. Very friendly and helpful staff always greet you verbally and with a welcoming gesture, and look to try their best to accommodate any special requests. The pools were a hit with the kids, and space in them was plentiful. Our family has for different rooms, and they were all spacious, had a 4 seat dining set, comfortable beds, and a spacious bathroom and shower. Virtually every room in the resort overlooks the inner courtyard and pools, and most will have a peek-a-boo or spectacular view of the ocean. There are 3 natural-gas (no burning embers or smoke!) fire pits on the beach that are lit up in the evening for conversation and watching the free beachside shows. And if you book through Expedia, be sure to take advantage of the perks offered to you by the on site Expedia desk and Concierge. The food is subjective; our family (six adults and three children ages 6 to 1) were all satisfied with the selection and quality... but we were not expecting 5 star quality food at a 4 star resort. My only cons would be that the resort is showing some signs of decay (rusty railings and awnings, worn plumbing fixtures) and that some staff, although friendly, were not very well trained for service. There are signs of some items being updated in stages (some railings have been replaced), but non of the maintenance items posed a danger of any sort in my opinion."

"Close to the main plaza, and lots of nice shops and restaurants. Nice walking areas, very safe and very clean. The staff was extraordinarily helpful and friendly."

"Standard very nice room, comfortable beds, very nice pool. Excellent breakfast. Walkable to a beach. Unfortunately in the middle of major road construction so be patient getting there- but this applies to lots of San Jose del Cabo at present. Our room was close to the air conditioner so a little bit of white noise in the room."

"We’ve made it our unofficial hobby to “research” most of the major Cabo resorts, One&Only Palmilla, Four Seasons Costa Palmas, Nobu… tough life, we know. So when we arrived here, we’ll admit, first impressions had us a little unsure. The hotel sits right off the main road (not exactly the dramatic, guarded-gates entrance we had imagined), and the lobby felt… let’s say “cozy.” For a brief moment, we wondered if we’d made a mistake. And then we saw the view. Instant mood reversal. The property opens up beautifully, with buildings cascading toward the ocean and villas stretching toward the beach. We initially upgraded to a three-bedroom villa… and then, in a completely rational and not-at-all indulgent decision, upgraded ourselves again to a 4/5-bedroom villa “for privacy.” No regrets. Thanks to a large part to Mr. Torres. The views? Unreal. The service? Even better. Our butlers, Jacob and Victor, absolutely nailed that perfect balance of attentiveness without ever feeling intrusive, something even some of the top-tier resorts don’t always get right. Every single staff member we interacted with was warm, helpful, and genuinely welcoming. Special shoutout to the beach staff, who were consistently fantastic. Safe to say, we’re already planning a return, and maybe even plotting a more permanent arrangement (villa ownership is suddenly sounding like a very reasonable idea). Nothing but great things to say about the Viceroy."

"Everything was much better than what I expected. "
