Pros & Cons
Decameron Los Cocos Guayabitos, Ramada All-Inclusive Resort
Pros
On-site nightclub until 3 AM with included drinks — the late-night hub for all three Guayabitos Decameron properties.
Four pools including an adults-only option — more aquatic variety than either sister property.
Two buffets reduce overcrowding and give a choice of venue for each meal.
Beach Club Los Ayala with included shuttle adds a second beach destination without extra cost.
Cons
WiFi is lobby-only — guest rooms have no in-room connectivity, a significant limitation for guests expecting it.
The adults-only pool and La Bamba restaurant require stair access — this isn't flagged clearly at booking and is a genuine issue for mobility-limited guests.
Spa availability has been inconsistent; confirm it's operational at check-in rather than assuming.
La Bamba reservations (one à la carte for 240 rooms) are the most competitive of any Decameron property in the group.
Grand Velas Los Cabos
Pros
The only all-inclusive in the world simultaneously holding Forbes Five Stars, AAA Five Diamonds, and a MICHELIN-starred restaurant — a genuine distinction, not a marketing claim
Cocina de Autor's 8-10 course tasting menu with wine pairing is fully included in the all-inclusive rate — at a standalone restaurant this would cost hundreds per person
Every suite starts at 1,081 sq ft with ocean views, private terrace jacuzzi, and 24-hour butler concierge — the entry suite here exceeds most competitors' top categories
Three-tier infinity pools naturally segregate family, activity, and adult-only zones without restricting access — practical design rather than strict policy
Cons
Beach is not swimmable — Los Cabos Pacific currents make ocean swimming dangerous; the infinity pools are where guests actually swim
Cocina de Autor is restricted to adults and guests 18+ — families with younger children can't access the MICHELIN-starred restaurant during their stay
Summary
Grand Velas Los Cabos has a higher guest rating, while Grand Velas Los Cabos has more restaurants, while Grand Velas Los Cabos is the larger property, while Decameron Los Cocos Guayabitos, Ramada All-Inclusive Resort offers more activities.
Rates start around $1,600/night in low season and $1,800+ in peak winter — a significant commitment that requires being genuinely invested in the Five Diamond experience to justify
