Pros & Cons
Grand Riviera Princess All Suites Resort and Spa - All Inclusive
Pros
Kids Club open until 11 PM is among the latest-running children's programs in Mexico — genuinely useful for parents
The Avenue of the Gods walkway to the beach is one of the more distinctive resort-to-beach transitions on the Riviera Maya
All-suites format means no standard room categories — the floor space baseline is higher than comparable resorts
Miso teppanyaki and Mama Mia Italian are genuinely well-regarded by guests — book both early in the week
Cons
Major renovation was underway through at least April 2026 — noise and facility closures are realistic; check current status before booking
Property size requires internal transportation to navigate efficiently — without the golf cart schedule, guests waste significant time walking
Le Fleur restaurant may carry extra charge for Junior Suite guests — this affects the included dining program; verify before booking
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

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
