Pros & Cons
Grand Decameron Los Cabos, A Trademark All-Inclusive Resort
Pros
Costa Azul Beach on the Sea of Cortez has reliably swimmable water — a genuine advantage over Cabo San Lucas Pacific-side resorts where swimming is often restricted.
15-20 minute airport transfer and a price point well below comparable Los Cabos properties make this the most accessible entry point to an all-inclusive Sea of Cortez stay.
Three pools with a dedicated adults-only option give both families and couples their own pool areas.
Cons
The property shows its age — rooms and common areas in some sections haven't been comprehensively updated; manage expectations accordingly and ask about recently maintained rooms.
Three restaurants is a thin dining program for a week-long stay; book Luna and Suki on your first day or the rest of the week defaults to the buffet.
No large-scale kids club or structured family entertainment beyond video games and movie nights — families expecting a full children's program will be disappointed.
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 Grand Decameron Los Cabos, A Trademark All-Inclusive Resort has more dining venues, while Grand Velas Los Cabos 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
