The hype
Guests are obsessed with the design and the food quality but consistently shocked by the isolation and the cost of getting anywhere else.
Nobu Hotel Los Cabos
$450-800+/ nuit
Réservez si You want a hyper-minimalist, Japanese-style sanctuary where the pool scene is chill, the sushi is world-class, and you have zero interest in the rowdy spring break vibe of downtown Cabo.
Pourquoi les gens l'adorent
- Stunning Japanese-meets-Baja architecture (think stone, wood, and endless sightlines)
- The wooden 'onsen' soaking tubs in every room are a legitimate game-changer
- Four distinct pool areas that never feel overcrowded, including a dead-silent adults-only infinity pool
En bref : It’s a beautiful, isolated fortress of expensive zen where you can't swim in the ocean and you're held captive by $60 taxi rides.
Évalué par @travelcultivator: I stayed in the Swim-Up Suite and it was pure magic. The bathroom is massive with this incredible wooden tub, and having direct pool access from my terrace was my favorite part. It feels so private and luxurious—perfect if you want to be pampered.
Ce que les clients qui ont séjourné ici ont dit
Reality check
The 'swim-up' rooms look cool on Instagram but offer zero privacy—everyone walking on the path looks right into your room.
- You appreciate minimalist design and hate 'tropical kitsch'
- You are happy staying on-property for 3 days and eating $50 sushi dinners
- You want a quiet, sophisticated pool scene rather than a DJ-fueled party
Propreté et entretien
9.2
- Housekeeping: Generally impeccable with twice-daily service, though rare reports of missed dusting exist.
- Bathroom hygiene: Pristine. The wooden tubs are well-maintained, which is rare for porous materials.
- Maintenance: Mostly excellent, but one guest reported peeling paint on a bridge and a 'gross wet toilet seat' in a specific incident.
- Linens & towels: High-quality, crisp, and plentiful. Robes are waffle-knit and comfortable.
- Odors & scents: Lobby smells of signature citrus/woodsy scent; rooms are neutral and fresh.

Avant de réserver
Bon à savoir
- Uber cannot pick you up; arrange a private driver beforehand if you plan to leave the resort often
- Water is not free at dinner and branded bottles in the room cost ~$9; buy supplies at a grocery store before arriving
- There is a daily service charge (~15%) and tax (~19%) added to everything, so list prices are 34% higher in reality
Quoi emporter
- Windbreaker or light jacket for breezy evenings (essential in winter)
- US Dollars for tips (accepted everywhere, though pesos are better)
- Snacks and water from a stop at La Comer supermarket on the way in

FAQ et astuces cachées
Tout ce que vous voulez vraiment savoir avant de réserver.
Can I swim in the ocean?
No. The Pacific current here is dangerous. You must drive 20+ minutes to Chileno Bay for a swimmable beach.
Is it all-inclusive?
No. Food and drinks are à la carte and expensive (think Las Vegas prices).
How much is the hold on my credit card?
Expect a hold of ~$200-500 per night for incidentals.
Is there an adults-only section?
Yes, the infinity pool closest to the beach is adults-only, but the resort as a whole allows kids.
Can I use Uber?
You can take an Uber TO the hotel, but the gate security will not let Ubers in to pick you up. You are stuck using hotel taxis to leave.
Is the spa worth it?
It is spectacular but exorbitantly priced ($500+ for signature treatments). The hydrotherapy circuit is a highlight.
Conseils d'initiés
- ✨
Walk to the nearby Hard Rock Hotel (next door) if you need a change of scenery or slightly cheaper food options.
- ✨
The 'Japanese Silk' treatment at the spa is legendary, but check for monthly specials before booking.
- ✨
Request a room in the 'Desert' building if you want absolute silence away from the pool music.
5 choses à savoir avant de partir
💡The 'Japanese Toilets' (Totos) in every room have heated seats and auto-lids that will startle you at night.
💡You can't just walk out the front door and find a taco stand; you are miles from civilization.
💡The wind can be so strong in March that they close the umbrellas at the pool.
💡Turn-down service includes a tea set setup, which is a lovely touch.
💡The 'Garden View' often just means 'View of the walkway hedge'.
