Historically, the comprehensive kids' club, teen club, splash park, and unique surf pools kept children well-entertained.
Cons
The beach is often described as small, not expansive, or not ideal for typical beach activities, with some guests claiming "no beach."
During cooler months (e.g., December), the main pools and kids' water park can be cold as they are not heated.
Occasional service delays, particularly at restaurants during peak times, have been reported.
Some rooms experienced spotty Wi-Fi connections despite overall good coverage.

Recent guests (from 2026) experienced the property resembling a "building site" due to the transition, leading to frustration.
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
Summary
Dreams Vista Cancun Golf & Spa Resort has more restaurants, while Dreams Vista Cancun Golf & Spa Resort has more dining venues, while Grand Velas Los Cabos offers more activities.
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
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
