Pros & Cons
Dreams Bahia Mita Surf & Spa Resort, by AMR Collection, an All-Inclusive Resort by Hilton
Pros
Every room is a suite — even entry-level bookings come with ~500 sq ft of space, which meaningfully reduces the cramped feeling common at comparable price-point all-inclusives.
27 dining venues means dining variety rarely becomes repetitive on a 7-night stay.
Explorer's Club hours (9am–10pm) are among the longest kids' program windows in Riviera Nayarit.
Whale watching from the beach at no extra cost January–March.
Pickleball courts are unusual at Mexican all-inclusives and a genuine perk for regular players.
Cons
The resort is large enough that the walk from some room buildings to the beach is 5+ minutes — confirm room location relative to the beach when booking.
The water park doesn't open until 11am, which is frustrating if you have children who are active before 9am.
Pool surrounds have been flagged as slippery — exercise caution particularly with running children.
The Dreams/Secrets boundary can be confusing; some amenities that appear accessible are restricted to Secrets guests or Preferred Club members.
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
Summary
Grand Velas Los Cabos has a higher guest rating, while Dreams Bahia Mita Surf & Spa Resort, by AMR Collection, an All-Inclusive Resort by Hilton has more restaurants, while Dreams Bahia Mita Surf & Spa Resort, by AMR Collection, an All-Inclusive Resort by Hilton is the larger property, while Dreams Bahia Mita Surf & Spa Resort, by AMR Collection, an All-Inclusive Resort by Hilton has more dining venues, while Grand Velas Los Cabos offers more activities.
Cocina de Autor is restricted to adults and guests 18+ — families with younger children can't access the MICHELIN-starred restaurant during their stay
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
