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
Secrets Moxché Playa del Carmen, by AMR Collection, an All-Inclusive Resort by Hilton
Pros
Three man-made cenotes are a genuinely distinctive pool feature — not replicated at most Riviera Maya all-inclusives.
The Gypsy speakeasy adds an evening destination with actual character — more interesting than a standard resort nightclub.
Hilton Honors points earning and the Sip, Savor & See program add value for brand-affiliated travelers.
The 2022 opening means rooms are still in good condition with contemporary finishes.
Cons
Drinks are reported as potentially watered down — ask for top-shelf brands by name rather than accepting the default pour.
Beach quality is limited by anti-algae barriers that are common to the area but disappoint guests expecting open-ocean Caribbean conditions.
