Pros & Cons
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
Platinum Yucatan Princess All Suites & Spa Resort - All Inclusive
Pros
Sister-property access to Grand Riviera and Grand Sunset Princess gives dining variety that most 472-room adults-only resorts can't match
13 pools across the property mean there's almost always a quieter spot to retreat to
Adults-only (18+) policy is consistently enforced — the atmosphere is genuinely calmer than family-inclusive alternatives nearby
Walk-Out Oceanfront Suites offer direct beach access that most Riviera Maya properties don't provide at the suite level
Cons
Property opened 2014 with no documented major renovation — some guest reviews mention fixtures and soft furnishings that show age
The main buffet receives weaker reviews than the à la carte restaurants — plan most dinners at specialty venues
