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
Rixos Premium Göcek - Adult Only
Pros
The Secret Beach is the resort's defining advantage—a pine-shaded cove accessible only by boat, genuinely secluded from other guests and the public.
Complimentary daily Göcek Bay boat tours are included—a meaningful activity benefit that most Turkish all-inclusives don't offer.
The 192-room scale means pools are rarely overcrowded and service is more attentive than at the 1,000+ room Belek properties.
Dalaman Airport (DLM) is 20 minutes away—one of Turkey's shortest airport-to-resort transfers.
Cons
The adults-only designation (13+) means this doesn't work for families with younger children. Rixos Park or Premium Belek are the family alternatives in Turkey.
The à la carte restaurants all require smart casual dress, which can feel restrictive after a beach day—budget time to change before dinner.
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 Rixos Premium Göcek - Adult Only has more dining venues, while Grand Velas Los Cabos offers more activities.
