Need to know
Rooms
122, of which 27 are suites, plus several standalone residences.
Check–Out
Noon, but flexible subject to availability. Check-in is at 3pm and can also be extended where availability permits.
More details
Breakfast isn’t included but can be purchased in the Mezcal and Marea restaurants or Paletas all-day café. Or demonstrate your mastery of the resort lifestyle by ordering a lavish breakfast buffet to your private terrace and gorging yourself until lunch.
Also
There are two ADA rooms available in the resort, with roll-in showers, grab bars and lowered sinks and switches, although many ground-floor rooms and public areas are easily navigated. (Please note, the buildings housing the hotel's rooms and suites have no elevator to the upper floor).
At the hotel
Private golf course, tennis and pickleball courts, activities including archery, mountain biking, paintballing and more, free non-motorised water sports, 24-hour gym, and free WiFi. In rooms: 55-inch LED HD TV; Bose Bluetooth speaker; Nespresso coffee machine; minibar with free bottled water and curated selection of wines, spirits and snacks; and marble bathroom with bath tub, shower and Gloss Moderne bath products.
Our favourite rooms
The Casa Twin Dolphin Three-Bedroom Home’s trio of modern bedrooms makes it suitable for groups of couples, as well as families with older kids who value their privacy. Chuck in a couple of infinity pools with widescreen views of Santa Maria Bay’s pink-and-gold sunsets, dedicated butler service and a stack of free activities that include signature spa treatments, daily fitness classes and agave- and mezcal-tasting sessions and, well, what’s not to love?
Poolside
Take your pick from three outdoor pools overlooking the Sea of Cortez. There’s a family pool that comes complete with a lifeguard and a fire pit for cooking s’mores, a serene spa pool, and another with convenient swim-up access to the Marea bar’s pineapple-infused signature Mezcalita cocktails.
Spa
Spanning a whopping 40,000 square-feet, Spa Montage Los Cabos ain’t messing about. Treatment rooms (12 in total) surround the semi-Olympic pool and there are steam rooms, hot tubs and relaxation areas galore. Beware: a full-body pummelling using oils and unguents brewed from indigenous desert ingredients may well render you horizontal for the rest of the day.
Packing tips
What do you bring with you to the resort that has everything? We suggest crisp tennis whites for showing off Baja tans (and dazzling opponents) on the courts and (very) dark glasses for combating beach blindness and mezcal mornings-after.
Also
There’s a gym large enough to get lost in, free sunrise yoga sessions for early risers, and a private, guests-only desert golf course designed by former world champ Fred Couples.
Pet‐friendly
Doggos that dig la buena vida will be right at home here, where each room can accommodate two pets of up to 40lbs for a one-off fee of $250. Pampered pooches can look forward to treats, pet menus, dog-sitting and more. See more pet-friendly hotels in Los Cabos.
Children
Residences can sleep up to 12, meaning plenty of space for large families; there’s a family pool, and little Smiths will be in clover with the kids’ club for five-to-12 year-olds and activities including archery and desert paintballing for teens.
Best for
Ages five-to-12 are particularly well catered for, and there’s plenty to distract easily bored teens from their various devices, too.
Recommended rooms
There’s a whole range of options. Queen Queens are great for young families of three or four, but older kids will prefer the space and privacy of a two-bedroom suite (ideally with a private pool).
Activities
The Paintbox kids’ club for ages five-to-12 runs themed days with activities and crafts by the pool, on the beach and indoors. Think piñatas, treasure hunts, jewellery-making and tide-pool exploration. Full- and half-day sessions are available. Meanwhile, teens can let off steam with archery, mountain biking and paintball activities. There’s also a children’s movie night with dinner, popcorn and a feature film on Friday and Saturday evenings.
Swimming pool
Kids have the run of the Sky Pool, where there’s a lifeguard on duty until 6pm and a sandy area with buckets and spades for younger children.
Meals
There are children’s menus in all three restaurants, and the all-day café has you covered for pastries and ice-creams.
Babysitting
Services can be arranged via the concierge, with a minimum booking time of three hours and hourly rates of $25 for one-to-two children and $30 for three.
No need to pack
Leave beach toys at home – there are more than enough available to borrow at the resort.
