The hype
Guests love the massive rooms and attentive service but are divided on the food quality outside the specialty restaurants.
Secrets Puerto Los Cabos Golf & Spa Resort
$400-700/ nacht
Boek dit als You want a romantic, adults-only escape where the pool scene is the main event and you don't mind not swimming in the ocean.
Waarom mensen ervan houden
- The secluded, manicured grounds feel like a private estate, not a tourist trap
- Preferred Club infinity pool offers genuinely peaceful, crowd-free lounging
- Himitsu's sushi and Oceana's seafood get consistent high marks over typical all-inclusive fare
Snel Overzicht: A polished, relaxing compound that delivers on the 'unlimited luxury' promise, provided you can ignore the aggressive timeshare pitch at check-in and the red flags on the beach.
Beoordeeld door @laura_john_travel_page: We picked this spot for our vow renewal and it was perfect. The 'secret door' for room service is a total game-changer for privacy—we didn't have to see anyone! Plus, the jetted tub is massive. If you want a romantic hideaway, this is it.

Reality check
The humidity in summer (July-Sept) often defeats the in-room AC, leading to damp sheets and warm nights.
- You prefer pool lounging with a view over actual beach swimming
- You want a quieter, romantic vibe rather than a spring break foam party
- You enjoy golf; the Puerto Los Cabos course next door is top-tier
Schoonmaak & Onderhoud
8.5
- Housekeeping: Daily service is reliable and thorough. Turn-down service is a nice touch often included.
- Bathroom hygiene: Generally sparkling. Double vanities are a plus. Some reports of slow drains in ground-floor units.
- Maintenance: Grounds are immaculate. Rooms show minor age (scuffed furniture, loud AC) but are well-kept.
- Linens & towels: Towels are plentiful but can be a bit scratchy. Bed linens are crisp and clean.
- Odors & scents: Lobby smells like fresh spa scents. Some ground floor rooms can smell musty/humid if AC isn't running constantly.

“I am requesting a room on an upper floor, away from the main pool DJ speakers. If possible, I would prefer a building closer to the ocean to minimize walking time to the Preferred Club pool.”
Veelgestelde vragen & Verborgen tips
Alles wat je eigenlijk wilt weten voordat je boekt.
Is the beach really not swimmable?
Yes, really. The currents are deadly. Security will stop you if you go deeper than your knees.
Is the Preferred Club upgrade worth it?
Yes, for the exclusive infinity pool and à la carte breakfast at Oceana alone. The standard pool gets crowded.
Do I need reservations for dinner?
Generally no, it's first-come, first-served. However, the Teppanyaki tables at Himitsu DO require reservations.
Is it a party resort?
No. It's 'lively' at the main pool during the day, but dead quiet by 11pm. Nightlife is limited to the lobby bar or Desires nightclub.
Can I drink the tap water?
No. Use the provided bottled water for drinking and brushing your teeth.
How far is the airport?
About 30 minutes. Pre-book a transfer to avoid the shark tank of taxi vendors at the airport exit.
Tips van Insiders
- ✨
Use the 'Secrets Box' for room service delivery if you want privacy; they leave the food in a pass-through cubby so they don't enter your room.
- ✨
The coffee shop 'Coco Café' opens early (6am) and has better coffee than the buffet.
- ✨
Ask for a 'Miami Vice' (half piña colada, half strawberry daiquiri) at the swim-up bar—it's the unofficial house specialty.
5 dingen die je moet weten voordat je gaat
💡The 'ocean view' in some Junior Suites is actually a 'tiny sliver of blue between two buildings' view.
💡The main pool tiles can be slippery and some are chipped; watch your step.
💡You can hear the neighbors in the swim-out suites next to you if you're both on the terrace.
💡The on-site shop charges airport-level prices for sunscreen ($25+ USD), so bring plenty.
💡The 'romantic dinner on the beach' is lovely but windy—you might eat a little sand with your steak.
