hace 1 mes 38

I’ve been fortunate to enactment astatine galore hotels successful Los Cabos and officially visited acold much — implicit 100 successful full during the years erstwhile I wrote edifice reviews for Fodor’s and Forbes Travel Guide and ranked hotels and restaurants for the USA Today question tract 10 Best.

Most of those I visited were amazing. Los Cabos afloat deserves its estimation arsenic a large edifice and edifice destination. It’s an progressively costly one — implicit $500 per night, connected mean — but the accommodations, amenities, and work are consistently spectacular.

However, alternatively than simply stock my ain opinions, I besides wanted to spot what the apical raters successful the tract — companies similar AAA, Mobil (now Forbes Travel Guide), and Michelin person been doing ratings for decades — deliberation are the champion Los Cabos lodgings presently and comparison their opinions with those from immoderate of the implicit 4 cardinal radical who sojourn annually (represented via Trip Advisor’s Travelers’ Choice Awards Best of the Best rankings).

Not surprisingly, the 2 groups weren’t ever successful agreement. I accidental not amazingly due to the fact that the experts mostly justice prime only, not based connected worth comparative to the rates.

AAA Five Diamond Awards

The American Automobile Association (AAA) has 1 of the longest-running standing systems for lodgings, dating backmost to 1976. Like the prima strategy initiated by Mobil (more connected this later), the AAA diamond strategy has well-defined criteria for earning each diamond. One diamond represents “budget-oriented, offering basal comfortableness and hospitality.” Meanwhile, fived diamond-designated properties showcase “ultimate luxury, sophistication, and comfortableness with bonzer carnal attributes, meticulous personalized service, extended amenities, and impeccable modular excellence.”

The Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal hotel

Four Seasons Resort & Residences Los Cabos astatine Costa Palmas

Grand Velas Boutique Hotel Los Cabos
Las Ventanas al Paraíso, A Rosewood Resort
Le Blanc Spa Resort Los Cabos
Montage Los Cabos
One&Only Palmilla
Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal
Zadún, A Ritz-Carlton Reserve

My Opinion: This is simply a superb list. Las Ventanas al Paraíso has the astir seniority, having been connected the database since 2002. That’s due arsenic it was the first existent luxury resort successful Los Cabos erstwhile it opened successful 1997. Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal besides merits a note, arsenic I judge it has the champion work of immoderate accommodation successful Los Cabos oregon La Paz. That’s not conscionable a relation of the Waldorf Astoria sanction either. I thought the aforesaid happening erstwhile it opened arsenic Capella Pedregal successful 2009 and during the play erstwhile it operated independently arsenic The Resort astatine Pedregal.

Esperanza is different favourite and it deserves its five-star rating. Its spa is arsenic bully arsenic it gets successful Los Cabos and the signature restaurant, Cocina del Mar, is simply a wow-factor eating destination of the highest order.

Famed for their edifice reviews, which for the archetypal clip included a Michelin-star edifice successful Los Cabos and galore different recommended dining spots locally successful 2024. However, the French tyre company, it should beryllium noted, besides recommends hotels. How does a property qualify? “Style and service. Personality and reliability. Culture, comfort, and a consistently bonzer acquisition — this is what makes a Michelin Guide hotel.”

Green Key International rates hotels not lone connected work and amenities but besides connected criteria related to biology sustainability. For travelers who worth this benignant of liable approach, this is simply a important imprimatur. Interestingly, the Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE) oversees these ratings — the aforesaid radical that rates Blue Flag Beaches.

In Los Cabos, 3 properties presently person Green Key status:
